marcher boyz Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/what-should-be-banned.html [quote]Japan has also shown signs of a soft-ban on another character in Super Turbo. I bring up this example because it lives on the threshold. It is just on the edge of what is reasonable to ban because it is "too good." Anything less than this would not be reasonable, so perhaps others can use it as a benchmark to decide what is reasonable in their games. The character in question is the mysteriously named "Old Sagat." Old Sagat is not a secret character like Akuma (or at least he's not as secret!). Old Sagat does not have any moves like Akuma's air fireball that the game was not designed to handle. Old Sagat is arguably the best character in the game (Akuma, of course, doesn't count), but even that is debated by top players! [b]I think almost any expert player would rank him in the top three of all characters, but there isn't even universal agreement that he is the best![/b] Why, then, would any reasonable person even consider banning him? Surely, it must be a group of scrubs who simply don't know how to beat him, and reflexively cry out for a ban. But this is not the case. There seems to be a tacit agreement amongst top players in Japan--a soft ban--on playing Old Sagat. [b]The reason is that many believe the game to have much more variety without Old Sagat. Even if he is only second best in the game by some measure, he flat out beats half the characters in the game with little effort. Half the cast can barely even fight him, let alone beat him. Other top characters in the game, good as they are, win by much more interaction and more "gameplay." Almost every character has a chance against the other best characters in the game. The result of allowing Old Sagat in tournaments is that several other characters, such as Chun Li and Ken, become basically unviable.[/b] If someone had made these claims in the game's infancy, no sort of ban would be warranted. Further testing through tournaments would be warranted. But we now have ten years of testing. We don't have all Old Sagat vs. Old Sagat matches in tournaments, but we do know which characters can't beat him and as a result are very rarely played in America. We likewise can see that this same category of characters flourishes in Japan, where Old Sagats are rare and only played by the occasional violator of the soft ban. It seems that the added variety of viable characters might outweigh the lack of Old Sagat. Is this ban warranted then? To be honest, I am not totally convinced that it is, but it is just barely in the ballpark of reasonableness since there is a decade of data on which to base the claim.[/quote] *coughs* trap monsters are in STOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaouJudai Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 lol - in time I'm sure - Getting back to the brokeness that is LSS - they really have picked up where the LS seemed to have left off - I love their hero-like search power. Konami likes having a very marketable theme who's images appeal to young players and families. The LSS do that. It's a theme that screams code of the warrior and honor. What's not to love? They're a major pain to deal with in a local tournament, but so were the LS. The LSS will get whats coming to them once konami has drained them for every last dime in reprints possible.

HaouJudai Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well eventually they will probably ban gateway since the new gateway replacement is already out - dojo. Also I can see a semi limit on Kiza - maybe a limit - but I srsly doubt that - most likely semi limited. And that's all they will ever possibly get imo. They just aren't wrecking anything in OCG are they? From what little I know about OCG (next to nothing) Angel decks are wrecking. But I don't see anything happening to them anytime soon. The structure is selling like hotcakes. *thinks about eating hotcakes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
