Supermodel From Paris, I'm not going to respond to your posts if you're going to try to repeatedly (and fruitlessly)
change the subject away from my or anyone else's points. Nowhere in any of my posts here today have I mentioned that Melee or even Project M are superior alternatives to Brawl. My original post only outlined why I believe LGL's and banning any character should not be necessary, and explained several courses of action for if such were deemed necessary.
Of course you don't think that, you don't play the game, you have little experience in the matter.
You're acting like those youtube noobs who don't play competitively and think we should play with items, on, because they have no idea of the effect that would have on the game.
While I most assuredly don't have as much experience in playing this game competitively as you well-established (read: generally, loud) members of the community are, I did indeed play the game competitively for a time — wait a minute.

outside of the banning of random factors such as items and polarizing stages or stages that randomize results more than desired, you shouldn't need anything else to ensure the competitive integrity of the game.
I don't play the game competitively (anymore) because of many factors; the effectiveness of planking and other such tactics is only one item on a very long list. The average maturity of its fanbase being slightly lower is also one of them (and I do mean slightly; the Melee community has its fair share of loud and obnoxious). I'll give the Brawl community the benefit of the doubt and assume that at this point the loud people are mostly Smashboards Heroes and don't actually attend relevant tournaments, similarly to the Melee ones.
There are times where I do play this game, but I do so casually, and have quite a bit of fun doing so. The game is not bad, or awful, or terrible, or anything of the sort. If my ulterior motive was really to convince you highly important members of the Brawl community to instead join my community, I'd probably be storming in here explaining that Brawl's air dodge system contributes to defensive play being largely favored among many other such examples (despite the fact that whether or not defensive play being favored being a good or bad thing is subjective) and as such Brawl is teh suck.
I've played this game competitively. I've hacked the **** out of it. I'm in the Smash Lab. I understand its mechanics most likely more thoroughly than you do. Your claim that my (incorrectly assumed) little experience in the matter
makes my opinion irrelevant is itself about as relevant as if I were to mention your September 2010 join date and question your experience in the matter because of it. It's a cop-out to an argument, and you should feel bad for making it as opposed to actually responding to my points. I hope the discussions in the BBR have more content and thought, than this. I'd be appalled if a Smash Back Room discussion were going on about the MK ban issue and a Metaknight main made a worthy argument with relevant examples and then his post was quoted, with simply "Of course you say this; you use MK. I have now successfully refuted your argument. Aight who else wants to say something about this?" Such logic would pit (no pun intended) the players who don't main MK and are anti-ban against the players who are pro-ban, which aside from some notable exceptions, are mostly non-MK players. It's pretty obvious why this logic doesn't really work.
While such weak as **** arguments are certainly easier to make than actual ones (and it's certainly fairly easy to just out-talk someone who is putting effort into posts when he is outnumbered as is the case here; I wouldn't be surprised if this occurs), it'd behoove you as both a player and as a person to put a little more effort into something you seem to care about so fervently. I have done so and I'm largely indifferent to the outcome of the MK ban issue.
My opinion on LGL and MK, however, is still an informed one, and the fact that I don't play the game competitively is mostly irrelevant. If anything, it should strengthen my points, as I am unaffected emotionally either way by the MK ban, and look at it in a less influenced manner.
If you want to play this game competitively and enjoy it, you should put up with any such (already established as should not be necessary to ban) bull**** that's in it, similarly to a low tier main dealing with his character's weaknesses and outplaying his opponents. I know this because I use a bad character in the game I play competitively. Are there truly unbeatable tactics in the game? If so, then should it really be played competitively? I think not, and have explained why I think so. Defend your game/viewpoint properly, or be a piece of **** that can't contribute healthy discussion on the Internet about something they supposedly care about. It is your choice.
