Alright, so due to the creation of a new East Coast Canada Smash League, i took the initiative to modify the CP system a bit and got different critiscism about it, some positive and some negative, which is why id like to to ask the help of the community members with this.
New brawl counterpicking system :
All the while, please consider that in the league you will actually be able to ban 1 neutral and 2 cp/neutral because we have a slightly bigger stage list.
The problem with the old counterpick system: Due to the fact that alot of stages have characters that can simply dominate them, it is very easy to choose a secondary to get an easy win on some stages while some other chars simply have no counterpicks of the sorts. Heres a small example, air camping with wario on RC, or luigi on Brinstar. Falco on Japes. Such are the types of matchups with very big advantages on some maps.
The advantage of the old system: You can always switch char and not have to worry much about being char cped as much.
The problem with this counterpick system: It makes it that some matchups can be cped vs you on 2nd match such as d3 on FD vs some chars, and those matchups are sometimes irritating and according to some people promote Gayness.
My argument agaisnt this: This system promotes a few things. 1, character counterpick becomes much more viable and actually increases character diversity. 2, you actually get more bans so you can ban FD if your scared of d3. If somehow d3 or any character CPs you on a neutral where you horribly fail, you can then CP him on a neutral where HE fails(d3 vs snake on BF >.< ) . This system not only stops any sort of overpowering CP stage from becoming a free win, but allows for strategic planning(if he still chooses a stage where its the only place he could have won, you can force him to stay that char and go on a neutral). And because of this, not only is cping more viable, but it also expands the skillset since you need to be ready for any character.
Please comment on this, and i cant find how to make a poll >,<
New brawl counterpicking system :
The new system will leave the loser with 2 choices: either he counterpicks a non-neutral stage, or he counterpicks a neutral . In the first case, the procedure stays the same as usual, with the stage selection being done, winner then choses character, and finally the loser chooses his. In the event that the person who lost counterpicks a neutral stage, the winner will not get the chance to change character and the loser still will.
