So you made Picto legal AND added a stage ban...but you took out Brinstar, Frigate and CS?
Uh.........why?
I honestly didn't mean to post that as I said, I was just copying the list for my friend but he told me to make alterations for his tournament.
I am a TO for my community. I had a poll for my last tournament and people voted to have Pirate Ship legal. But after having it in a tournament and with MK returning to Nebraska, we don't want it unless we do a seperate list for doubles.
Pictochat was asked for by a lot of people. Should probably be a neutral.
Brinstar is hated by our Samus main to the point of boycott.
Everyone and their mom hates Frigate in Nebraska.
CS is also equally bad, but kind of split.
As far as the extra stage ban, there are so many bad stages (11) in this game that are legal here, as opposed to melee (6/7), it makes sense to have an extra ban.

When I ran an event to cater to my own stages, it was 7/8 stages, but 2 bans.
If I was doing this for my own benefit, I would have banned PS1/PS2 as well because **** those stages and their ledges, but I got CP'd by our #3 PR'd player to both of those stages and I do not want to ruin any advantage I had given him.
I want my community to grow and stuff.
Keep the stage list a normal small size?
Yeah, I like small stages, will probably go back to a 9 stage list next tournament but idk what ones will go.
Uh.......why?
I don't see why the size of the stage list should matter. If the stage is fit for competitive play then there's no reason to ban it, and I don't see why Frigate/CS/Brinstar aren't fit for competitive play.
I mean if MK is legal I guess you can justify getting rid of Brinstar...but there are 2 stage bans in that ruleset so Brinstar shouldn't make a difference XD
Most of the top players in my area would prefer
SV/BF/YI
and then maybe like 3 stages for CP's.
But we play Melee in Nebraska mostly.
The stages I banned aren't competitive, no matter how you want to define your term.
People don't like them/competitive.
They give characters big advantages and people don't like them/competitive.
Note that they give characters an advantage isn't as important as people not liking them.
Also, people saying that having 2 stage bans makes having a stage legal okay is false. The same theory works for FD. Those two stages are bad, but for different reasons.
I think FD is more of a CP because of the ledge and the camping and the lack of platforms. But I have to ban that stage every time because my character gets ****ed by FD in certain (i.e. 90% of them) matchups.
If you allow multiple stages that "It's okay if we let that in, you can just ban it!", you are forcing people to potentially play on stages that are really bad and have no business being on a realistic competitive arena.
