unity ruleset committee disbanded, even if they didn't how were they going to enforce it anyhow. tournaments have never been outright FORCED to follow unity.

mk ban has always been a subject of debate. lots of metaknight-legal tournmanets were still around even when unity banned him

You should know that smashboards is not some final authority on anything. TOs have the power on the rulesets used which are influenced on the thoughts from players, TO opinions, and smashboards. Unity ruleset was a good attempt, but unless Smash ever gets more popular to end up on the MLG circuit again or to starcraft level, unity ruleset will still be an idea. Still, it left a lasting impression to change things up on the MK ban position which I think had been 50/50 until the unity ruleset.

With the Unity Ruleset still left as an open thread (?) it would be nice to see the recommended ruleset from the BBR back again in its place.

Unfortunately Smash will never reach Starcraft level because it's just a "children's game"
