The only characters DDD can infinate are low tiers that aren't going to win tournaments anyway. However, they are usually banned. ICs on the other hand can infinate everyone on the roster. I never understood the reasoning for banning DDD's infinate and not the IC's. A grab should never equal as stock, idc how much you've practiced. Brawl isn't that type of game and the sooner we quit making it out to be the better. Yea there's pro tech skill stuff that goes on but its mostly about baiting and mind games. It's far more defensive than most fighting games. We ban anything with the word "infinate" at our tournaments, and we never get any complaints.
As for banning stages to nerf metaknight, any floaty character is going to do fine on RC. Brinstar can be debated, MK definitly has a nice upperhand there. What I really like about RC though is that there isn't anything random about the stage. The stage isn't really hazardous other than moving around, and over half of it is on a flat surface moving left or right. The luck factor and randomness should be what bans a stage. Pictochat was getting argued alot in my area and it eventually came down to that pictochat is just FD with random things happening on it. No one would ever pick it unless they were hoping to get lucky and have that cart or w/e kill their opponent.
If people worry about banning stages just because MK is good on them you have to think of how that hurts other characters that use those stages as well. RC is a major cp for Kirby, Jigglypuff, DDD etc. Characters with disjointed hitboxes like brinstar because they can shark so easily on it. I feel too much is worried about MK sometimes.
Actually he can infinate luigi and DK who are actually pretty valuable characters. A DK named Will got 7th at a national tourney *though he had to abuse the rules to do so but still*. And if you guys didn't know all infinates are legal now. I'm not sure if they are putting a limit on IC's anymore but there shouldn't really be a problem there. And the whole "because the character sucks who cares" thing always never made sense to me. The character already is hurt in the matchup so why make it freaking worse? We were doing just fine with a infinate limit but since we thought OH WELL THIS CHARACTER WILL NEVER WIN IDAF LETS NERF EM. Stupid really...........
I makes as much sense as the rule we made that characters who inact suicide moves like ganons side b and bowsers don't get the win anymore. They have to play a 1 stock 3 minute match...............
Ganon needs every advantage he can get so this is just completely killing him. Plus if you fall for a suicide move in the first place you probably weren't a very good player to begin with.
The unity ruleset has picochat banned thank goodness.
