No one has played much outside of their group at all. That makes their opinion just that: opinion.You under some misconception that we dont like most of the stages are think they are stupid and decide to just get rid of them. We play with a lot of those stages on, and i think they're fun. You also seem to think they we are pullin elitist cards and deciding we should be the end all say in it, which is not true at all. But for some of these stages, it is clear to the majority of the players who have brawl (yes we talk to a good amount people outside of our group) that some stages are just not for tournaments, as fun or inventive as they are.
How is my opinion biased? I don't have an opinion in the first place. I say "don't ban stages until you can see that htey are banned via tournament play".You have a biased opinion, moreso than you assume we have, about the stages because you are quite known for favoring levels that do not follow the guidelines of fair, balanced, and undisturbed tournament play. Hell, you even opted for Space Armada to be CP and Norfair to be Neutral, lol.
Besides, anyone in the back room knows that while my particular strategy is to play on counterpicks, they also know that I heavily advocated for the banning of stages that I played that I felt were unfair; I counter-picked Kongo Falls all the time and told them openly it should be banned.
Also, when did I advocate for norfair to be neutral or space armada to be CP?
ties to MLG? You mean JV? Because if you don't, you aren't talking to ties for MLG.I really do applaud you for comming to the defense of these ridiculous stages, because without people like you to balance out excessivly anal people, we would sadly have only a few levels legal. Just don't go assuming that you know by what means we debate and select levels. If you want your stages, run a tourney, but we have been talking to people in many many states and ties to MLG about the fairest setup possible.
Besides, JV has it tougher; he isn't a community. He's going to have to ban stages prematurely because it is his job to make a competitive ruleset. If MLG picks up Brawl, he'll have to be conservative. Just how it goes.
We don't have to be.
Until we see the game actually played on a wide scale in tournament environments, we won't know what needs to be banned. Just because one of your friends found a cool strategy on a stage doesn't mean others won't say "duh" and get around it. Just because you can't deal with a hazard on one stage doesn't mean the hazard is bad.
We don't know anything so far except for what our limited experiences tell us. We can hypothesize about all the stages, and we can see a few obvious ones. Hyrule Temple will obviously be banned due to the inability for most of the cast to catch up to characters like Pit or Fox or Sonic if they get the lead. Past that? Nothing is known and it is foolish to think otherwise.The US version is apparently going to be tweaked, but we're just trying to get a fari assessment to what we know so far. (although i doubt levels will change much or at all)
