Fraud at Smash
over centralization: look at any boards, what matchup does everyone care about? MK, what matchup is constantly rediscussed? MKWhile I'm anti-ban I need to address something.
There are three main reasons that come up when banning a character can be considered.
1. Over-centralization - This is debatable if he is doing this. IS MK dominating because he is shutting down most of the cast or is he dominating because people are choosing to play him? People CP MK for Snake while Olimar and debatably DDD are much better CP choices for Snake. MK has no bad MU's so people just pick him.
2. Attendance - This may be a legit point. While attendance does go down during winter it doesn't change the fact that attendance in some areas is still declining. Is MK responsible for this? Well if we ask people who quit it would shed some light on the debate.
3. The game is better without him - This is a very hard point to prove, would the game be much better without MK around? Yes, but how much is the real question. To ban a character it has to justify the metagame to improve to astronomical levels to warrant this. Does banning MK make the metagame much better, dunno.
attendance: look at xyro's MK banned tournaments, more attendence
the game being better: most people, including MK mains, say yes
