Smash Master
Banning characters in smash? Why? Ok there have been characters banned in tournament fighting games before, two that I know of.Eh....makes sense, I guess.
Sounds like banning Fox, Falcon and C. Falcon would be a hella lot easier though, iffin' you're receivin' my drift.
Street Fighter (god knows which one) Akuma is banned in one of them for just being BETTER than every other character by far. There was very good reason to ban him
NEKRID from soul calibur 2. Ok he was just ridiculous, he had the best moveset possible consisting of all the best moves from other characters. He was clearly a god character and obviously ban worthy in tournaments.
In smash, it is a proven fact that skill decides who wins. And ''OMFG BROKEN IMBALANCED'' characters such as fox/falco have their downfall wherein they can be combo'd from zero to death by many, many, many other characters in the game.
It all comes down to knowing your matchups, knowing your stages and how to counterpick, and KNOWING THE CHARACTERS THAT YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY.
which means everything about that character, his combos vs fastfallers based on percentage, his combos on floaties, what works on ganon might be entirely different than what works on captain falcon.
Smashbrothers is a fighting game that more than any other fighter (Yeah, sounds arrogant but I believe in it) is an art. It takes dedication to master like any good game should require and despite how much people complain about tiers/balance, victory is in your hands. Its in your mindgames, your ability to counter your opponent, and just how far you can push your combos based on DI. Also, missing edgeguards pretty much garuntees that you will lose. Edgeguarding is a big part of winning and losing too.
Ive noticed that none of the players who actually compete in tourneys or win them are the ones complaining about tiers. The only people who complain about tiers are people who play smash at a level where TIERS DO NOT EVEN MATTER
Sorry for the rant about the tiers but I post this kind of argument frequently. I do not mean to call anyone an idiot but I do firmly believe in what I am posting here and that Smash Brothers Melee, despite having some characters, yes, that are better than other characters is NOT a broken game and leaves victory to the most skilled player, not whoever picks fox.
Yeah? and that post you just made is against the rules of this forum. Perhaps you shouldn't be lecturing?You're a mod...
This belongs in the Melee discussion...
This thread was created on the brawl section to explain to inexperienced players who are awaiting brawl's release WHY stages are banned, instead of just saying ''such and such stages will be banned in brawl'' without giving any information.
I really think alpha zealot was in the right making this thread, and the only thing you got right in your post was ''You're a mod''
He is a mod, he's also not an idiot. This thread is completly justified and you should keep your pseudo moderator opinions to yourself. Im tired of seeing people acting like mods and judging which thread should be where, when posts of that nature are clearly against the rules of this forum.
