trolling: noun. the act of being a Kirby fox: short hop triple laser + utilt all day long. :troll:

I've wondered the same thing as well. The changes seem to make very little sense.

My 2 cents on Stage Diversity: I think stage diversity is desirable, but should be subordinate to competitive fairness. As clubba pointed out a few posts back, SSB's distinctive feature in the fighting game genre is the mechanic where you K.O. opponents by knocking them off the stage as...

hahaha. :D Oh good another mario main - I don't think there are very many of those.

I think Stage Hazards is too broad of a term. Rather, it's more reasonable to say random stage hazards should be bannable due to the luck factor. Perfectly predictable stage hazards should be left in, and people can express their personal preferences about them via the stage striking system...

I agree with clubbadubba that it would be very useful if someone could sum up the stage ban criteria, since I have never seen them posted anywhere. Also, If it is debatable whether a stage meets the criteria, then the criteria probably aren't objectively well defined enough. From my...

There's still disagreement here, even if I didn't state it properly before. You think Hyrule should be banned either because you think camping is already a problem, or because it is theoretically a problem, and SK wants to see more evidence first. aa said in an earlier post he doesn't think...

I never said stages don't affect character balance. Every stage affects character balance. What I said is that people have never bothered to actually analyze how. This aspect of the theory is rather lacking - the majority of it can be summed up by saying some characters gimp and recover...

It's funny that you bring up Play to Win. I've read it in its entirety a while back, and while I don't remember all of it, it is contradictory that you seem to both support PtW and yet are so eager to ban Hyrule at the same time. Camping and being defensive are legitimate smash strategies, so...

Heh, thanks. I try to be reasonable. Ok, I concede your (and everyone else's) point, honor codes don't really work in competition because there will always be ... those people (for lack of a better word). It's probably why I don't do much competitive events. At some point it becomes less...

I've seen this stated as if it were true so many times yet I've seen not a single attempt (post a quote if I'm wrong) to justify why it is not possible (EDIT: one reason it is not possible: see below about playing dirty). I think it's more an issue of nobody has bothered thinking about it and I...

Replying to at least 3 people: Perhaps no one has stated that explicitly, but the fact that people are arguing about whether DL or Congo is more "neutral" and the very existence of the notion of "counter-pick" stages both strongly suggest people do indeed believe that stages can have some...

True, randall the platform is much more useful than explosive huge stun time barrel. Both worth and effort are still very subjective and player dependent though. People also sometimes forget worth works in the negative direction - if something causes enough problems for you it can be worth the...

Perhaps that could have been better phrased as "moving parts lead to unintentional things happening". I can see how the original wording could probably be offensive and apologize if any was taken. You have to be careful though: random and unintentional are two completely different ideas...

This is not so much a "Congo is random" argument (since it has been proven otherwise) as much as it is a "I dislike having to deal with moving parts" argument. While that's perfectly fine, I just wanted to separate those points before they get any further confused. Because of the stage...
