MetaKnight ban discussion

Should MK be banned?

Personally as a Toon Link main I say no and this is coming from a person who's main gets utterly destroyed by Metaknight.

65:35 MK, in the matchup of Toon Link vs MetaKnight. It's hard as hell. All he has to do is break the spam and pressure then gimp.

I don't know though, if he WAS banned I wouldn't be mad either.

I'm kind of on the fence. I know how to fight MK and everything, but it wouldn't hurt if he was banned and I could probably do better in tournaments. I think he should be banned in doubles though because it seems he dominates every single tournament.

True. MK dominates any character in doubles. Althought I don't think double MK is the strongest team combination.

I am anti-ban. I feel like every time I lose to MKs it's because they're a better player than me, even with the Oli:MK MU set at 65:35. In my last tourney I took M2k to last stock 67% on my counterpick. And I have some fairly close matches with Judge. x_x

Well, I go even with Dolo offline and I take Mero to 1 stock offline so I'm not that bad against MetaKnight. Of course they don't compare to M2K and Judge. xD

When I lose MK I feel I could have capitalized on a lot of mistakes the MK player made. I just need to learn the MU better. Bombs, bombs, bombs. I never knew the Oli/MK MU was 35:65 though. 0_o

Yeah, Oli boards think it's Oli's worst Matchup. Worse than Marth, Peach, and Luigi. lol

Ah yes, Marth.

The bane of Toon Link's existance.

Back on topic:

Yes, MK isn't unbeatable. He is just extremely capable of overpowering most of the Brawl cast. Falco, Snake, Wario, and Diddy are all 50:50 MUs with MK, iirc.

Anti-Ban here. I blame all my mistakes against MK on either me, and of course wifi. But then again, I usually win against MK when I'm like dead serious.

That... doesn't mean... ya know... You can't still ban that mudder phucker. Please?

And yeah Rei. I can tell you why MK isn't that bad for me. I use and previously mained... all 4 of those characters that you've just mentioned. I rape.

Yes, MetaKnight has the ability to capitalize on a mistakes easily and instantly; while Toon Link might not have enough 'speed' or jump to his opponent.

Just playing near perfect is the first step to beating MetaKnight.

Really? On wifi, I think I do pretty good vs Near. It's usually like down to last stock kill percents for both of us. And we don't have an uber laggy connection.

Err, meant to stay 'nearly perfect'. lol

Ooooh. Well I still think the Near tthing was good... Regardless of what you meant lol. Make one mistake and Near would have you in an projectile hurricane and then a bair to dair combo. That's atleast 50 damage.

Playing near perfect though is kinda hard. The only way I can see someone possibly doing that, is if they cancel out any other possibilities of getting punished... inb4 camping/planking.
