Doom103 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It's been in debate for a while in the brawl community and apparently they decide 3-1 Meta Knight stays Well discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hopefully it will be seen as an encouragement for other characters to continue stepping up their games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I don't want Meta Knight to be banned, because I think that due to having even and arguably disadvantaged matchups, banning him would be ultimately unnecessary, but I recently realized he's fun to play, but if I play him I'll be contributing to this idea that the game focuses too much on meta knight or something, and as somebody who doesn't want him banned it's like my obligation to prove he can be beaten. It's like damn. Oh well, Snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It's not like Metaknight wins tourneys in MD/VA where I live :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom103 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 I am happy with the descison, he wasn't that bad, so I am glad he stayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krevin Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 MetaKnight is good, but its been clear from the start that he's not ban-worthy. Its not like playing as MetaKnight garuntees you're gonna 3-stock even the best of players just because they're playing other characters. Hell, I've seen Ganondorfs and Jigglypuffs hold their own against some well-played MetaKnights. Besides, real smashers main Snake or WsnakeWario, and alt the entire low tier. This is old news, btw.

Krevin Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ehhh, I don't go on Smashboards much anymore. Too crowded. I get all my latest smash news from VegasSmash since I know pretty much all the members IRL (I haven't gone to a tourney in a few months, so I don't know the newer members) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) The only topics I go to on Smashboards are the tourney boards. The character discussion boards aren't the greatest, everything is better when you just go to tourneys and play friendlies n shit. Regional zone boards are great, just because I've actually met MOST of the people I've talked to on there.

Destiny Hero Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Bullcrap. Metaknight (and Snake) need to be banned. They're way too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krevin Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Bullcrap. Metaknight (and Snake) need to be banned. They're way too good. Then that makes Dedede the best character, and then everybody would start bitching about how OMGBORKEN his chaingrab is and he'd be banned, and then Falco would be banned for having the best (and more importantly, the easiest) 0-Death combo in the game, and then G-Dub for having so much goddamn priority, and before you know it we're left with just Link and Ganondorf. Brawl isn't a LOZ game, thereby we can't ban characters. LOGIC, BITCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krevin Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) There are some good link players out there, sure, but you can't deny that he's a pretty crappy character compared to the rest of the cast.

Krevin Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Jiggs is bad but ppl don't compain(btw there is a good jiggs here) Jigglypuff has a good air-game (though nowhere near as good as MK) and a great recovery (again, not quite MK). Link, on the other hand, can't jump. and wtf happened to ur name? I got rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawl isn't a LOZ game, thereby we can't ban characters. LOGIC, BITCH! I'm going to disagree with your logic. I've seen people who are high level tourney players in Brawl resort to using Metaknight (who they are WORSE at using compared to their normal mains) just because they're tired of losing to inferior players who are using Metaknight. Just because a character is the best, doesn't mean that they need to be banned, since I'm highly doubtful this game is that imbalanced that every time you remove a character the next one in line becomes too powerful. Honestly, I don't care much if he's banned or not since I prefer Melee and my Wii is broken anyway. I just see so much bitching over Metaknight, I figure there's a reason.

Rei Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nah. Metaknight has no bad matchups, it's pretty much 50-50 with Snake which is even. Everyone below MK have bad matchups that aren't Metaknight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Hero Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Link is seriously underused/rated. I use him, and I absolutely kick ass. Yoshi, too. Just because of Melee, people assume that Yoshi is shit and has no recovery (he has one, and it is actually very useful). People need t chill out and use Yoshi, who I'd say is simple the best in the game if you can use him right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats dumb. They should just get a main/alt that doesn't have a disadvantage against MetaKnight, like Snake or DK. Of course, Snake is starting to prove less useful against MetaKnight because they're both so overused, MK's need to worry most about Snake battles and MK Ditto battles. Nah. Metaknight has no bad matchups, it's pretty much 50-50 with Snake which is even. Everyone below MK have bad matchups that aren't Metaknight. Still, despite having no bad match-ups, MK doesn't have very many completely incredible match-ups. Against most of the better characters, the match-up is only slightly in MK's favor. He counters D-cube and Game&Watch like a beast, but the rest of top-tier and high-tier hold their own against him. Link is seriously underused/rated. I use him, and I absolutely kick ass. Yoshi, too. Just because of Melee, people assume that Yoshi is shit and has no recovery (he has one, and it is actually very useful). People need t chill out and use Yoshi, who I'd say is simple the best in the game if you can use him right. Yoshi had a recovery in Melee, too. It was shitty but it was there. And I use Yoshi in Brawl, and I wouldn't go as far as to say he's the best in the game, he's just extremely underrated. Also, the Yoshi-MetaKnight match-up is pretty evenly weighted. Just throwing that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krevin Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) ^How come you got no name? Weren't you Krevin? Yes I was, and I still am if you look at my sig, but I don't like having a name. Yoshi and link do have alot of at's though Yoshi's only got the DR, his lame excuse for a chaingrab, and a handful of techniques that really can't be described as "advanced". Link seems to have a lot, though. And he needs them pretty badly, since his standard techniques aren't any good.
