No, not every argument was refuted. Far from that. OS only proved that MK is the best character in the game, and MK is dominating tournaments. OS didn't say explicitly why this is a bad thing or ban-worthy, he just proved the former and proceeded to say that MK needed to be banned.
If I read the OP correctly (and I'm pretty sure I did), the implication was that the data/numbers show that the
extent to which the MK dominance is happening warrants a ban, which not everyone will agree with. What's nice is that everyone
doesn't have to agree with it, just the TOs.
Furthermore, the data he used was very loose. For example, the graph that shows Brawl tournament attendance declining can only be assumed to be partly due to MK. There is no evidence to prove that it's all because of MK, and it's silly to think so.
Yeah, except the TO's and players actually
talking to the people quitting at tournaments know why, because they're being flat-out told. I've said multiple times that I've talked to people at events I've hosted and been flat-out told that MK is the reason they're quitting. Sure, it hasn't been any top players or anything, but top players leaving has never been the argument; the argument has been that if all the bottom players leave, the game's foundation is gone and competitive play dies out. Which was
also never refuted.
Omni explains it a lot better in page 3 in his post.
And as he said, two wrongs don't make a right. You still managed to avoid responding to either my questions or Omni's counter-argument because you said, "Other people avoided my questions!" That doesn't matter and it doesn't pertain to the debate.
Well, I also already said that I consider this debate to be, effectively, over. Why debate with you about it? I don't particularly
like bashing my head against brick walls (which is, coincidentally enough, why I don't like fighting planking MKs).
If you say you can write clear, concise arguments, prove it by doing so now. If you say that the points you've said haven't been countered well, prove it by picking apart the (good) counter-arguments to ultimately say why you're right. Don't just post the original argument and say, "Your response isn't good enough."
HA. HAHA. Avarice, I'm not falling for that. I've proven well enough (and on multiple occasions) that I can write clear, concise arguments; I don't have to prove jack to you. Sorry, chief.
Basically, your last statement was a huge hypocrisy, because you state that this has gone on long enough but continue to do it.
I haven't debated the merits of a MK ban since yesterday; the only thing I've debated today was that the SBR needs to stop hiding their arguments. Like I said, as far as I'm concerned, this fight is over; all that's left is for the TOs to circumvent the SBR and ban MK of their own volition.
