I made it to page 20 or so and just got bored of finding stuff to quote. This is enough for now.
ROB goes even or has the advantage on all of the chars listed here but gets killed by MK 
No. ROB sucks. He loses to Snake, Dedede, ICs, etc. MK being gone just removes one problem of many for this character.
I havent gone to a national yet due to parent johns. LOL @ I havent put the effort to beat MK. I know that matchup inside out. But once mk resorts to air camping, planking and scrooging, I lose. Its impossible to beat mk if hes doing that. I might be going to apex, if other pr players are willing to travel OoS again.
No, you don't. You're from PR. You have a good Dedede and a good Peach there and NOTHING ELSE. I played an MK from PR in crews at Genesis and my 3 stocks beat his 5.
im really, really, really glad swf is an oligarchy and not a democracy.
Me too. It's fun being part of the governing body.
Is it just me, or do the majority of pro-ban posts seem almost completely idiotic, wrong, or just plain stupid?
It's not just you. It's pretty apparent.
I agree that people that don't go to IRL tournaments shouldn't have a say but there are a lot of people (like myself) whose forum names aren't their gamer tags, there's not a practical way to make sure such a list is accurate. and going even beyond that, the general populace shouldn't(and doesn't) have a major impact on it otherwise, because then you get sillyness like this(aib response to the same OP)
"You're Diddy, I'm Ike.
He should be gone. "
translation: I came to a gunfight with a club, pity me.
Good post.
I have one question for people:
What is with this talk of "Brawl will die" or "Brawl is dying"? There is no evidence whatsoever to support this. In fact, most evidence supports Brawl becoming MORE popular. So what are you people talking about?
It's more pro-ban BS. Tournaments are only getting bigger. Maybe certain regions are dying, but most are growing, and nationals are growing overall.
HOBO set a record when meta was banned.
This is because you hyped that event more than any other you've ever done in your hosting career, including WHOBO, and failed at hyping everything else. After that, your MK-banned events had horrible attendance and most of your state vocally opposes banning MK.
Oh, Christ... ENOUGH OF LEARN2PLAY!!! I'm sick and tired of hearing this uneducated drivel! What in the great blue hell do you people think we've been doing for 2 years? Playing, learning matchups, and practicing, just as you have. The fact of the matter is that 99% of people will not be able to do what Ally or ADHD or any other random pro player can do because no amount of study or practice can make up for inherent skill.
Then 99% of you are bad. Learn more. If ADHD, Ally, ChuDat, Atomsk, Lain, Meep, etc. are taking out MKs without MK, then guess what? It's possible. It's possible even if you're the lesser player, like when Atomsk's ICs beat Anti's MK twice and ADHD scores wins on Mew2King. You need more high-level experience.
This is what is so frustrating about all of this. ADHD's post didn't bring anything new to the table. It wasn't eloquent or well written. It didn't prove anything significant. The only thing ADHD's post showed us was that ADHD is an a**hole. That's it. Anyone who has the balls to turn to the majority of average people, people with lives, jobs, families, and people who just flat out aren't as inherently skilled, and actually say to them "just stop sucking and be as awesome as me" doesn't deserve to be able to post. Flat out.
Allow me to translate your post:
That's all I saw. I saw you call a 16 year-old boy an a
sshole because he thinks people should get better.
Guess what? He's a good kid with a good mindset. He started off as some scrub that I remember ******. He would get 9th at a tournament here and be happy with it. He got ***** by Mew2King the first few times. You know what he did? He got better. He worked for it. He played and trained with good players.
His mindset >>> your scrubby one. You are ever so salty, child.
It shows that he (and the people like him) have no practical understanding of the way the real world works. Maybe the people in Haiti should just live better and not let some noob earthquake take them out; they should be as leet as us Americans and Learn2Live better. Forget that they don't have the resources like us, the infrastructure like us, the organization like us. Forget that they are inherently handicapped because of where they live; they should just do better, as if it's that easy.
THIS IS COMPETITIVE GAMING. ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE.
Here is a pic of you showing off your new tattoo:
Get better. Rules aren't made to cater to n00bs. If you are not inherently skilled enough to beat MK but plenty of other people are, guess what? That's your problem. You are destined to be bad if that's your mindset.
There are plenty of people that are straight up IDIOTS in my mind that are top players at this game. I think Mew2King, ADHD, Atomsk, Judge, ChuDat, Ally, and plenty of other top players are pretty dumb. I'm just being honest. I've seen them all out in the real world plenty of times and have interacted with them enough outside of the game to determine this for myself. Yet, they are all top players beating people that are smarter out in that world. Why? Who cares why? They practice and play right. They're doing it right, and others aren't.
KOS-MOS is from bumblef
uck Oklahoma and he got amazing at both Melee and Brawl by manning up and traveling. That's what you have to do if you live in a garbage area. Deal with it.
"Desiring Metaknight to be competitively viable" is not showing contempt, but making a post that says "I don't care about the particulars or differences between myself and any other player; I won a top tournament and thus have the right to take away another player's right to complain or dissent from established Brawl dogma simply because they aren't capable of replicating my far-above-average results, even if they lack the time, inherent skill, or opportunity that I have, all of which is obviously above average (thus giving me an inherent advantage)." is showing contempt.
Get better. ADHD started off bad just like everyone else and got better. His mindset is good. Yours is trash.
You show through your posting that you not only don't fully understand why you are able to do so well, but you don't understand why others may not be able to replicate your results with a 100% rate of success (because if it was as easy or simple as you say, people would be doing it right and left). Furthermore, you show contempt for people lesser than you by obviously not caring about their own separate metagames, which are obviously, arguable, and provably affected by Metaknight in much more extreme ways than your own, separate metagames that pay for your OoS trips and prize winnings, metagames that allow your precious high-level play to exist by feeding top players with money and a constant influx of players.
It's not easy. He's not saying it's easy. ADHD worked hard to get where he is. He's saying it's possible. He's a little kid that started with no Melee experience and look what he's doing now. GET BETTER.
And, yes, I am the guy who wanted items to become a legitimate competitive venue
Quit life please.
The first MK ban Poll was in October '08 I believe. One of the main arguments was that MK would destroy the Brawl scene sooner or later and that people would quit because of him. More than a year later the biggest smash tournament ever takes place, a Diddy Kong wins it and people still say he destroys the Brawl scene?
Kill yourselves, pro-banners.
qft
Heck yes I think metaknight should be banned! I mean granted that a diddy kong won Pound 4 and a diddy kong won S.N.E.S and a snake won Apex and Genesis BUT HECK GUYS I HATE METAKNIGHT!
lmao
