inb4mkrant... why is MK banned?
thats rediculious lol.
(no i dont main MK)
Agreed. im not trying to start a flame war, i just dont get why youd ban him.inb4mkrant
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the rule is ridiculous. He's not banned anywhere else. Banning him here means we don't get practice against everyone using him everywhere else. I believe he should be banned myself, but only if a universal ban is enforced.
If every walks on eggshells (was going to say *ussyfoot) regarding the MK ban issue, which most smashers actually agree with ironically enough sorta like bush never having the popular vote yet winning the presidency twice, then he'll never be banned as no one wants to be the person who stepped up and said "BAN DAT HOE".Agreed. im not trying to start a flame war, i just dont get why youd ban him.
banning him here only makes people from other places think were noobs, and we wont get any experience against him fro when/ if we ever go to larger tourneys in other areas...
I'm not the host, so I'm not the one deciding the rules. I'd rather not start another discussion on MK, so I'm not gonna argue about it. My opinion doesn't change, but that's just me.I'm not the only one who decided he should be banned. There were several of us who talked about banning him for months, literally. I'm not going to start listing the various reasons that he should be banned, because there are too many. Just know that the most active Smashers in SC all agreed he should be banned; Crio was going to enforce it after Judgement, ARS banned him from his weeklies and now I'm banning him from the bi-weeklies. There were several others who agreed he should be banned as well, not just us three.
This wasn't just something we up and decided to do; over the duration of Brawl's first year, most of us attended 50+ tournaments—weeklies, monthlies, bi-weeklies and on many occasions, OOS tournaments, as well. We've traveled to NC, GA, SC, VA and several other states—all of these tournament experiences were considered when the ban issue came up.
As far as MK practice goes, there's always friendlies. It's not like you get the boot for playing him, he's just not tournament legal. There's only been three of these bi-weeklies across two months, so these alone wouldn't provide adequate tournament practice, anyway.
OOS tournaments are the place to go if you're really looking to play competitively—SC's Smash scene is a joke. As far as a Smash scene goes, we're it. As far as a community goes, we're it. As far as tournaments go, we're it. SC has nothing else to offer.
On that note: SC hasn't banned MK, we have. But sadly enough, and not through any choice of our own, we're kind of running a tournament monopoly here, so it may look as though it's a state-wide thing. Honestly, as a state, I think there's more we could worry about than one bi-weekly banning MK. So, until other people decide to pick up and help out the SC Smash scene, they can keep the criticism to themselves—we may have banned MK, but atleast we're doing our part when it comes to the community.
I'm sure this topic won't end here >_<"
that is my reasoning behind wanting him banned. If he is the singular deciding factor of a matchup (Devin vs. Billy, evidence), then it is a clear and cut choice for ban.Then Billy picked him up and did boundlessly better with him then all his previous chrs.
Then Sushi forced Dr.PP to drop his main to counter pick metaknight, with metaknight.
Lareit;7117467 MK ruins the game competitively simply because he is the competitive game so long as he exists.[/QUOTE said:amen. thats how i see it. ban dat hoe.
Snake works against marth. But yeah 1 frame invul dolphin slash gives marth alot of flexibility.well without MK then marth becomes broke
MK is marths only counter...
so you cant argue that MK needs to be banned b/c he has no bad matchups, because after hes gone Marth then has no bad matchups...
...so yeah.
also for you people saying hes the "only viable" character if hes allowed... thats just wrong. I beat plenty of good MKs with Wario, Snake can beat him if they know the matchup. DK has a nice lead on him on stage due to his range, and DDD can just play SUPER gay and camp to win, ive seen plenty of characters beat even some of the best MKs.
...and Diddy/ Lucario too forgot them
If your venue thing works out I'll support it. It is rough being so young that you can't take direct control of your life though.HEY DEVIN I'M TRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT I'M TOO ****ING POOR TO DO ANYTHING--I WOULD GIVE UP ANYTHING TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENTS
WHEN THE WEEKLIES ENDED I LITERALLY CRIED LIKE A ***** BECAUSE I FINALLY STARTED DOING WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND WHEN THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY I CAME CLOSE TO PRETTY MUCH GIVING UP--INSTEAD I DECIDED TO KEEP PUSHING AND IN THE PROCESS I GOT FIRED FROM MY JOB LOOKING FOR A VENUE!
I HOPE THAT ONCE MY VENUE IS READY YOU ALL SUPPORT IT AND HELP ME ACCOMPLISH BEING APART OF SOMETHING I COULDN'T BE BEFORE I FELT LIKE I WOULD FINALLY BE "IN" BUT INSTEAD I GOT BOOTED.............i WILL NEVER GIVE UP CHASING MY DREAM OF PLAYING SMASH!!!
EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!!!!! NONE OF YOU NOT ONE ON THIS WHOLE SITE KNOW HOW BAD I WANT TO COMPETE AND "STUFF AND ISSUES" KEEP STOPPING ME SO I WILL EARN MY RESPECT--YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE ME BUT YOU WILL RESPECT ME I PROMISE YOU THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the tier list is assuming equal skill. I think adam may simply be good enough to do well with a bad character. The lower part of the list tends to even out quite a bit as well. Also going to snake does kind of show the importance of character. I think you were arguing character doesn't matter.in my honest opinion, **** the back room. they are all morons. I mean, just look at adam hes one of the best smash players i have ever met, and he mostly plays falcon. Who is THE lowest tier char. in game, yet somehow, week after week after week, adam beats most of us with the good captain. and only mains snake when nessacary. oh, wait. take a look at JUSTIN. he has NO other characters besides sonic. whom he beats us with often, hell justin's even won a few tournaments. The SBR are dumb, and biased . MK should be banned.
its the fact that they used the words 'low tiers dont matter" but agreed man. agreed.the tier list is assuming equal skill. I think adam may simply be good enough to do well with a bad character. The lower part of the list tends to even out quite a bit as well. Also going to snake does kind of show the importance of character. I think you were arguing character doesn't matter.
I do agree the SBR is biased I believe thats why MK isn't more universally banned.
Also @ joke GE always seemed to have a soft ban on mk. In that if someone played mk people generally would give them a hard time and wouldn't respect their skill in winning. Still having mk unbanned if one player picks up mk and does well with him other people are pressured to pick him up as well to be able to compete. Having him banned may be worse preparation for OOS tournaments but I think it makes these tournaments a lot more fun.
I fight you in the first round. You beat me 2 out of 2 matches.Hmm... I might be able to make it to this. Gonna see if I can round up some Gboro people. I'll get back to you.
One thing that I don't understand is the outta seven thing for singles stuff in the rules.
Whoo! More NC than just me and Joe!Hmm... I might be able to make it to this. Gonna see if I can round up some Gboro people. I'll get back to you.

It is a generic rule, that is rarely actually used.It makes total sense. I agree that it is a good rule.
It just confused me because I've never seen used before.
FalcoNow melee--why does EVERYONE who wins only use Fox, Marth(DEVIN lolz), and Sheik/Falcon?--there is only a handful of samus, mario's and roys...ect -- So Melee is kinda like Brawl in Character matchups
People who play them usually play The top tiers in HIGH level play....USUALLY(Not All Ways)Falco
Jigglypuff
This is a good while. 0 30;Hmm... I might be able to make it to this. Gonna see if I can round up some Gboro people. I'll get back to you.
