Holy crap, so much has been going on while I've been away.
New SBR ruleset looks good I guess, I'll probably be slightly revising the ruleset I'll be using at future tournaments.
As for the metaknight thing, I don't want him banned for the tourney (if I go tomorrow) since I rely on him sometimes - particularly on certain stages like delfino, luigi's mansion, frigate, corneria, RC, etc.... Falco gets gayed by so many stages that I sometimes choose to switch to Meta just so I'm more secure, it's not always a great feeling playing a 3rd match on your opponent's counterpick. Oh, and I'm also more comfortable versing characters like Olimar and Ice Climbers with Meta, even though I could probably deal with them as falco - I don't ever risk losing in a tournament though.
But to be honest, WTF is with the Meta hate? Muzga and I are pretty much the only people you should fear that actually use Meta. Go to California, and then you'd actually really appreciate the lack of tier whores (like myself) that exist in perth. And Muzga is right, there still wouldn't really be a difference in placings with Meta banned anyway.
Anyway, it's most likely I won't be able to go tomorrow bob, and I'm really annoyed that I can't go. In about 24 week's time I can start attending sunday tournaments though
As for the next tournament I host... I'm still figuring out dates. Anyway, we shouldn't build any hype for my tournament while we still have bob's tournament tomorrow. I can't guarantee it will be in 2 weeks though, you might have to wait a little longer. If it's like over a month then bob can feel free to organise another tourney before then. I'm afraid since I'm such a busy person I don't think we'd be able to do doubles, unless everyone is happy to do a 'doubles-only' tournament. Personally I prefer singles but whatever floats everyones' boats I guess.
Oh as for low-tier tournaments, you'd be surprised as to how good my pokemon trainer is
Btw low-tier does not count D-tier, therefore toon link cannot be used. But Sam would rip it up with Luigi regardless.
Anyway, it was good reading your debates, I guess it's time I go check up on the falco boards...
