Actually, their arguments are a lot stronger to people with only logic than those with competitive knowledge as well. They have not been broken with normal logic, only competitive knowledge logic.
EDIT: Whoops, double post.
"They are logical... unless you are knowledgeable of the topic at hand."
In other words, they sound logical to those who just don't know better, those with little insight into Competitive gaming and Competitive Smash, in other words,
what I said.
Look, it really ****'s up the ranking system if that's your solution.
Oh yes! This is a valid argument for banning it! Let's ban it for f*ing up the ranking system!
All the DK, Mario, Luigi, Samus, and Bowser mainers are forced to CP at least once a tournament because D3 is common.
Same as anyone else with crap match-ups. Deal with it.
Who do you think they choose?
Anyone who doesn't have a crap match-up against D3? And who cares if many of them gravitate towards MK or not? It's
their choice.
Of course, you don't want choice. You want to force people to play "diversely", to play with as many different characters as possible. Good characters and tactics need to be banned to maximize "teh diversity" (you were very pro-ban on MK).
The only character that doesn't need a CP is MK, Every other character has a counter... So don't bring CPs into this unless you wanna argue about MK some more.
No they don't. Unless you count 60-40 as a counter. If you don't, there are several who don't have counters (Marth, for one).
60-40 is barely a disadvantaged match-up (45:55 being counted as "even") and we see people battle such match-ups all the time (and
winning).
If you aren't at least familiar with other fighting games, you don't have much business being in the discussion to begin with, and if allusions to other fighting games confuse people, then they basically need to man the **** up.
It was established months ago THC has
absolutely no insight into Competitive gaming outside of Competitive Smash and even that's questionable. And he seems reluctant to learn, even when the facts are thrown in his face.
He also likes talking out of his behind and participating in deep debates about things he has little to not knowledge and insight into.
And, he once argued that PT was most definitely going to become an MK-counter and that Captain Falcon was quite viable, "as [viable] as any character".
Are we going to base the banning off of this poll?
No, that would be stupid. The majority of voters have little to no insight into this matter, haven't motivated their votes and who cares what the majority wants? The majority isn't always right.
Also, look at the Ban MK-poll. It was much more in favor of banning him and see where that lead us.
For everyone:
I really like how both the users and the victims of the chaingrab come to this thread and are completely blown off. Lets face it, Shadowlink didn't care about that Luigi player, nor did he care about the opinions of the D3 player (it would have to be a low cap, it's 5 seconds per grab after 150%).
I really like it how you think it
matters what victims of the chaingrab and those who play D3 think.
What matters is what is
appropriate. Nobody cares what some random (or not so random) D3 player (or one of his victims) think if they cannot articulate their views and argument sufficiently or maybe not even argue at all.
Nobody cares what they
think unless they can motivate their position using valid arguments and facts. Many of them do not possess the necessary insight and knowledge into Competitive Smash or Competitive gaming for us to care what they think.
Some of them say really stupid stuff.
So,
no, nobody (credible) really cares what characters people main. What matters is what they say, how well they debate what they think, etc., etc., etc.
In other words, nobody cares what people think! I could care less what M2K or Azen think... unless they are able to motivate their position sufficiently. Otherwise, it's just someone's
opinion.
To my knowledge, I thought that if anything could be used in any way to stall for time, then it was banned. Or at least that would be the more fair thing to do. A grab limit would be good or just a regular chain grab.
Are you saying you've been to tournament where a single Wall Bomb, a single letting go of the edge and regrabbing it, a single Rising Pound or just running away from your opponent was banned?
Or gliding. People with glides and multiple jumps can go under the stage to stall!
