Once again, you've committed the ad hominem logical fallacy - you're attacking the person, not the idea.
This is irrelevant. You are attempting an ethos appeal, which is invalid in the context of a logical debate over the MK issue. The fact that some people in these regions may object to an MK ban does not support your implied claim that it is illogical to ban MK. Furthermore, it is likely that you are erroneous in the content of your statements: many people in New England favor an MK-banned ruleset, which is why Smashachusetts, Mega Mass Madness, and all the Rhode Island tourneys were MK banned. Clearly, NY is not entirely anti-ban because the state has hosted numerous MK banned tourneys including the Impact series, Struggle Snuggle, etc.No, it's just your biased perception of the Atlantic North, which is askew from reality. Not all the people in NJ and NY are proponents of MK legal. Besides, this is irrelevant as I explained before.
This is another inappropriate generalization. You cannot verbally attack people or regions and expect it to have any significance in the context of this discussion. If anything these insults serve to diminish your intellectual credibility.
Likewise, you tend to oversimplify when analyzing character matchups by attributing one or two basic qualities to each character...
Personal opinions and matchup preferences do not reinforce the notion that an MK ban is illogical. You cannot use anecdotal evidence like this to support your claim.
Concerning your analysis of MK...you have conveniently neglected to include his positive aspects - his multifarious tools and advantages that make him disproportionately better than all the other characters. Examples include his dominance offstage, his ledge planking, air planking, relatively lagless moveset, and his tornado, each of which requires an entire strategy to deal with by itself.
It is absolutely unreasonable to dismiss ICs as a "completely linear" character. ICs have an immense learning curve that far exceeds the time and understanding necessary to be as successful with "the bat" in tournament. What you have conveniently withheld is that Olimar has a fatal flaw in his offstage recovery. MK has no comparable flaw. Have you not seen DEHF's Falco? Do you think that Falco can kill with lasers? Are you aware that it is not uncommon for Falco players to approach even before the kill?What is possessing you to declare that Diddy Kong has a better camp game than MK?
I assume you are speaking from a lack of information? Raptor allowed a vote to determine whether MK was banned. It was not he who pushed for an MK ban.
Your claim, from what I understand, is that MK should not be banned. However, you have provided zero concrete evidence to suggest that an MK legal ruleset is more logical than an MK banned one. It follows that your comments are null and void, seeing as you have given little to no thought to your brash assertions and oversimplified character analyses. The fact remains: MK is disproportionately better than the rest of the cast and has won every recent national tournament. This is not due to sheer coincidence. It is logical to support an MK banned ruleset because the game is much more balanced, fun, and fair without him.
