Fourth and hopefully final poll to ban MetaKnight

[swimstud600]

Yep, its been done before, and the majority has always voted to ban him. Why's he still around? Because the assholes at the top love the money they make with him, and the community needs a 2/3 vote to ban him.

"lol why 2/3, that'll never happe-
oh i get it"

Here's the link to the topic, I'd encourage you all to make a smashboards account for this, even if you don't play a lot of smash or never entered a tourney. And read the thread, there are a lot of interesting arguements, a lot of interesting stuff about MK that I didn't even know before.

I would vote not to. No characters should be banned.
I stick with my stance of 'There's no such thing as a character being inherently better than another, it's all based on your skill with said character.'.

[swimstud600]

That's your right if you choose to do so. I will say however, that my stance was exactly the same as yours until I fought a bunch of pro MetaKnights. He unbalances the game too much, and being good at Brawl now revolves around entirely how well you can fight MetaKnight. He has no counters, stages or characters.

I'm gonna have to agree with Swim, as much as I hate to say it. I've always held Random's view, but all dispute over whether or not MetaKnight unbalances the game aside, I voted to ban him simply because I'd like to encourage people to pick other characters.

Swim's right, being good at Brawl does rely too much on how well you fight MetaKnight. And MetaKnight is picked by 1/4 of the entrants into tourneys. When there's 35 characters, that's pretty bad. If banning MetaKnight means allowing people to freely choose other characters, it might bring some fun back to the game.

I understand this is unfair to people who play MetaKnight for fun, not just cause they're whores, but... I play Link, what do I care? =D

I know, right? I thought about trying to get the hang of breaking the game with MetaKnight but I think you all know I have a hard time being a total douchebag on this game xP

[Sonic]

I have a friend who's a complete whore for this game, and we've never discussed this particular subject. I'll see what he says about it...

Luckily for me, I use Kirby, Link, and Sonic. In that order. =D

[Ztrl]

I have never lost a match to a MetaKnight...Ever. He sucks balls.

[Nightmare]

It depends on who's using him, really. MetaKnight is obviously a pretty big threat if put in the right hands.

[Sonic]

Then again, doesn't that apply for everyone? But wait, that's the point of this thread, isn't it? XD

[Bloodbane]

Hmm, looks like the community even decided that he should be banned by a fairly decent margin... about 54/46

[Nightmare]

Well, that's not good enough. They said 2/3, so we'd need at least 66% to be in favor of banning him.

So I guess Meta Knight stays legal. lawl
