SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

I'd joint that tourny (Or are sign-ups on now?)... Does anyone want to play in about 45 minutes? If you do, shoot me a PM or profile comment please. (OR post here)

I don't remember the part where we agreed on the MK ban. If you guys discover that I'm "too good" with Meta Knight during the tourney, then I'll gladly use someone else. But until then, I deserve a chance to use him.

The problem with that is "too good" is subjective. You could get paired up with someone who matches up badly against Meta Knight (read as: everyone) or you might just be better than your opponent. They could then claim you were "too good" when really you were just better than they were.

It's not something I or anyone else wants to deal with. If you want to use MK in friendlies, fine. But for this tournament--in the interest of all other players--he's going to be banned.

@PMJ: I don't really think that Luigi's Mansion should be a counterpick. It's got a cave of life, similar to the bottom portion of Hyrule Temple. Having the roof makes grab releases easier to explot as well.

Fair enough. It's banned.

(also added wario ware to banned stages)

There's a difference between playing well and "sharking" as Chillarmy described it. My argument is that Meta Knight is a character I enjoy using in tournaments and friendlies, and as far as I know, I don't use any "unfair" strategies while playing him. I would also hope that any of my opponents would be able to determine if I'm abusing Meta Knight or not, rather than just playing normally. If you guys are really that adamant about not allowing me to use MK, then that's fine with me. I just don't think it fits the spirit of the community.

Why not Skyworld as a first round pick? It seems balanced enough.

But on the note of the Halberd... Don't you think that the laser cannon on that stage is a bit... Unbalanced? It can turn the game around like Samus' final smash.

On the note of Meta Knight, I think that he should be banned. Think about it: if he is banned from nearly all other tournaments that I have seen then I see no reason why we shouldn't ban him as well.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

Skyworld is dumb because the platforms are not passable until they are broken. Additionally, the unique platforms cause an over-reliance on stage spikes. You can't grab onto the clouds either. It's way too unbalanced to be a counterpick, let alone a starter.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

Obviously you can; with no Final Smashes, it would be impossible to use ZSS otherwise.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

Um, i'm still not liking Rainbow cruise as a counter pick... it is an awful stage with the moving and such.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

It moves reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllly slow though. There's no hazards, and it's super easy to keep up with. It also keeps Diddy Kong, Olimar and Ice Climbers from owning everyone on the other counterpicks.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

Do you know what I want to see in this tournament? Captain Falcon V.S. Ganondorf. Put that fight on paper-view and be a millionaire overnight.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

*pay-per-view.


TheOtterBoy and I playede a few matches two days ago; I didn't have my GC controller though and lost every game :p
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

*Le look at spelling correction.

*Facepalm*

So, the tournament will be on the 30th of August (This month)?
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

I was planning on joining as well if they are still accepting participants.
 
RE: SSB Brawl Discussion Thread

I don't think a tournament has been started officially yet, just rules put out.

I'll organize pairings for a "Tournament".

First 8 people (More if this is popular) to join get in. Rounds will last 3-4 days. Please do not join if you are not going to be able to meet this deadline.
