Hey I was lurking smash boards and came across this post. What do some of the more vocal players at this school feel about this post? Meta Knight should have been banned 3 years ago. Keeping Meta Knight legal has slowly killed the game. Meta Knight players in NY/NJ and their powerful, influential tournament organizer (specifically, Alex Strife) cried about it and found reasons to justify Meta Knights continued legality. Strife, who runs Apex, which is unavoidably the gold standard of tournament regulation, chose to keep MK legal and to remain a qualifier and keep the bloody Apex label, others followed. Nepotism at its finest. But it was never the correct decision. Counters werent found. Modifying the stage list only made Ice Climbers more obnoxious. His legality didnt ensure the Japanese stayed involved with the North American Smash community. They barely participated since Apex 2011. None of that was ever the point anyway; it was all to make sure M2K/whoever else didnt cry and quit. And now, 10 Meta Knight Cinderella Stories later (lookin at you, Zero), we have arrived in exactly the world pro-ban always said we would. 5/8 characters in the top 8 this year at Apex are MK players and last year it was pretty similar. MK players win almost every tournament, with the occasional Diddy player or something beating the odds. No one cares about Brawl anymore; viewership of the Apex Brawl stream this year was down 30%, a massive number. Most of them were probably just waiting for Melee. But it doesnt matter now, does it? You ****lords got what you want in the end. Youve milked the game and community for all it was worth, played us for chumps. Apex 2014 is likely to be the last big Brawl tournament, and it has ended just the way it started and just how you wanted it to: with MK on top and money in your pockets. **** the NJ Smash community. **** your bracket manipulation, your collusion, and **** your greed. We have had mk banned here in the past. It was a short thing but I cant say it helped or hurt our scene.
