Forum:Banning Characters

This is not another 'Lets ban Metaknight' topic. In tournaments, randomness is frowned upon. Items are banned because they spawn randomly. Many stages are banned because they have random effects (take WarioWare, Inc. for example). So, what about banning characters? Here are some with random effects:

Peach (SSBB) -Down B summons an item with random damage/knockback -fsmash randomly selects from three available options of damage/knockback

Olimar (SSBB) -Pikmin Pluck summons a random colour of pikmin

Luigi (SSBB) -Green Missile has a 1 in 8 chance of a misfire

King Dedede (SSBB) -Waddle Dee Toss will randomly select between waddle dees, waddle doos, and gordos, as well as capsules occasionally

Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB) -Judge does a random amount of damage/knockback, as well as a random effect

Pokemon Trainer (SSBB) -Razor Leaf curves in a random direction

Random Character -It might already be a rule that you can't click this button.

Just wondering what you guys think about banning characters due to randomness. It makes sense, in my opinion, but I'm not sure if people would be willing to ban charecters. ParadoxJuice (talk) 00:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
