Meta knight is considering being banned in tournaments

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=197057

for a month, people have been thinking of banning him apparently. Not that i blame them, the guy's just too good

Nintendo didn't put Metaknight in the game and expect him to not be used in tournaments.

There is always a character which people think is broken. There was Pit, Mr Game and Watch, Snake and now its Metaknight.

I never lost online with MK and Mr G&W but I havent played that much online.

They need to ban Snake first. >_>nintendofreak_2

MK is God Tier.

Snake is Top Tier.

Brawl wasn't made for one-on-one games; it was made for four-way brawls, and Meta Knight is much more balanced there. Nintendo didn't set the character balance with one-on-one games in mind, so it makes sense that a character would be unbalanced.Dr_Corndog

who said brawl was made for 4 players? in fact, who said brawl was meant to be played in a particular way?

-Amazing priority

-very hard to gimp

-Dsmash is godly

-tornado stops almost every projectile

-probably the only character who can somewhat combo

-has 5 jumps, good recovery and can glide

-all of his matchups are positive save for two neutral i believe

-infinite dimensional cape

That is true thats how pit was considered to be unblaced.

I really hate Meta Knight in brawl.dtno132

that's not cool, if they ban meta knight, then some other character is gonna take the lead, then they gonna ban that char too, and it's gonna continue like that till there are no more characters leftlil_speedy_rvd

Click on mine :D

good. too many people use him. i hate him for lack of projectiles. which is why i use ness.

I like him a lot but since I don't play on pro tournaments I really don't care. :DPierst179

yeah, i agree. with one well-executed metaknight combo, u can pretty much smash one player in one shot

one of the best character=/=broken

no matter who they ban or limit or what moves, become considered "cheating" no game with this unique of characters will ever be perfectly balanced, so unless you wnat the next game to be all mario but with different skins for each of the characters i would quit complainingjomaster007

Ok,I thought this was gonna be a joke topic but come on!

Snake >Meta Knight.

Are you kidding me? There were about 4-5 characters in Melee that were FAR above every other character. Brawl, especially in tournaments, seems to be the most balanced so far. As a few others have mentioned, this game will never be perfectly balanced, it simply isn't possible.

Its a shame Wii doesn't have an update system so Nintendo could patch some of their games though, but maybe someday in the future I suppose.

thats stupid... people dont win tourneys by playing as MK, they win by practicing with him over and over. you think someone can win by picking MK when they never used him before? no, it takes practice and skill to become good with a character. people overestimate MK way too much. the only reasons anyone loses is because the person is better than you, the stage gives the other player an advantage over you, or luck. tiers dont have as much of an effect as people think.

besides if they take out MK, everyone who uses him will go straight to snake. once snake starts winning too much, theyll take him out, then they will go to marth or game and watch. that will continue untill the only players left are captain falcon and yoshi. no one will sign up for tourneys anymore because theyre to limited and boring.

Metaknight is fast, but not unbeatable. During a local tournament, I've also encountered a lot of MK's, but I took care of all of them. By who? My main, Lucas. This is why I threw the tier list right out the window (not literaly of course:P ).
