Why is Jungle Japes banned?

[Vyzor]

Why is Jungle Japes banned in melee? X_X What made the smash back room decide to ban it?

 

[ETWIST51294]

Which game?

 

[Hoshi No Senshi Meta Knight]

It's most likely due to the water in the level, it pulls you to your death very quickly, and if you get shoved off a platform and don't jump out of the water quickly well then...you're gonna loose a stock.

 

[ETWIST51294]

WHICH ONE? It got banned in both games and use to be legal in both games. >_>

 

[Vyzor]

sorry i meant melee

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

I heard that it was because it's made for fox's camping same reason why corn and poke floats were banned.

hmm,I guess thats a good reason

 

[Charlesz]

It's banned cuz most characters can't swim.

 

[ETWIST51294]

I'm pretty sure it was because klap traps and Fox's lazor camping.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

stop being as awesome chRLES gosh every post is epic.

 

[Dark Hart]

I like Japes

 

[Kason Birdman]

i r like japes too

 

[rhan]

We're not suppose to have fun in Melee. It's for manly men of the manliest kind.

 

[Roneblaster]

It's banned cuz most characters can't swim.

/thread

seriously, good work charlesz.

I can just help but say, if its banned in both, then why should it be banned in Brawl? So what if it can kill you? Its your own fault if you get caught in the water, and you can still get back in the game if your fast enough, I've done it on both Melee and Brawl plenty of times.

 

[Brim]

And I forgot to add, in Brawl you can swim now (for once) , so that's just another reason I think it shouldn't be banned, since in Melee you never really had the privilege to swim.

 

[~RiKu~]

Japes is too good.

 

[Ballistics]

You can do whatever you want man, hold a tournament and unban jungle japes

 

[adumbrodeus]

Because MBR banned EVERYTHING

 

[Pink Reaper]

Yeah, screw the MBR. Japes was a totally fair, completely not broken stage.

 

[adumbrodeus]

No, it's a CP, which is the opposite of a totally fair stage.


Basically, I think you guys contracted the definition of a CP to a ridiculous extreme.

 

[Pink Reaper]

While I agree with that Jungle Japes doesn't even fit into the old category of CP imo. It's lolbroke up there with Green Greens.

 

[adumbrodeus]

IMO it's not, but yea, Japes isn't the best example.


Speaking of which, I've got a feeling my Marth will love that stage when I get PSing down.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Yeah, marth would love it right up until Fox LoLshines him into unrecoverable water.

I miss Corneria personally.

More talking about Falco.


I miss mute city for my Peach.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I miss mute city for my Falcon. I CP weird **** with my Falcon.

 

[adumbrodeus]

We'll gentleman's rule it whenever I play you, s'alright?




Speaking of which, I seriously need to start playing the city melee scene, I need to get some help getting out of my habit of being too predictable, and the Island Melee scene is much more impractical to play, plus City's just better.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

I remember when I zero to deathed hungrybox a few months ago on this stage in tournament.

It was pretty great.

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

I used to hate the Pound 4 ruleset cuz of no pokefloats/japes etc. but after like 3 tournaments without them I realized just how ridiculously janky they were compared to normal stages or even the current CP stages.

It's not banned in brawl because of the Klap Trap. It's banned because you can easily just camp the whole match with the opponent being able to do very little. All I'd have to do to win on Japes is get a lead, camp the smaller platform and run out the timer. My opponent has to approach from the air meaning they can't shield and I can easily do an OOS move for whatever they do. No projectile except for Falco's lasers and Pit's arrows move far enough you reliably use against me. Fox's lasers can work as well because they're fast and can rack up damage. MK has a chance because he's MK and can do some really safe stuff. So basically unless you're Falco, Pit, Fox or MK (maybe) you can't win once you're trailing.

That is why Japes is banned in Brawl.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Japes is banned in Brawl?


*looks at the SBR ruleset*


*raises eyebrows*


I don't see the BBR banning it anytime soon either as very likely.


MLG banned it, and IMO the reason is because it's a campy stage, but it isn't overcentralizing, and while it may be particularly good for the person on defense, it isn't auto-win.

That is in no way shape or form the reason Japes was banned.

 

[ConnorTheKid]

it's maily banned becasue of falcos side B, when u hit some one in the air with it they get shot down, so its easy to do that in Japes becasue of the short distant platforms of the same level, so its an easy win for falco.

but yeah japes is kickass

yeah you're 100% right. Falco's side B is soooooooo broken there!

 

[BluePeachy100]

Jungle Japes is banned because KlapTrap's been gettin' off lately.

stop arguing with pink reapor kk

 

[WiyamMang]

If the speed weren't so high, I'd say it's a balanced stage. I think the Back Room must've all agreed this stage was pretty irritating. It's more about the fact that you've essentially worried more about the stage hazard than you are about your opponent(s).

Thankfully, I don't play fast fallers on this stage.
