Are you posting just to post? MKT wasn’t in the arcade and I can’t recall an arcade MK that had noob selectable at all.
soft ban is such a stupid term. Ban by definition means that something is prohibited so we ought to change the term to something like ‘if you use this character you are fucking gay’
using akuma in ssf2t is a no win situation. Even if you beat a top player like daigo with him no one is going to respect you. People are just going to say you are gay for using a lame character. It reminds me of that jeff guy who got dissed because he could only beat daigo at AE with ce guile. Everyone knows if it had been playing the much better balanced ST, daigo would have creamed him every match.
Speaking of which you also see it with CE bison in AE, no one gets any respect for using that cheap mother fucker, regardless of how well he’s used, granted the community should have had the sense to stop playing that shit and stick with ST, but still, no one wants to see people win with retarded characters.
:lol: he gave me infractions.
What about 8 Yuns in the Third Strike finals???
8 Yuns? It’s common knowledge that the reason Yun and Chun dominated so bad that year at Evo was because the Japanese players that visited mainly used those characters. Those players would’ve been at the top regardless.
Wait, why am I explaining to a guy who wanted Gill to be playable in tournaments?
I think I saw it going off of Sagat or some other tall motherfucker one time…
You guys do know that evil ryu cal kill you off a sweep when he has a level 2 super right? And that his air hurricane allows him all sort of mobility. All his shit is broken.
Yes I am. point being, yeah, it never came to arcade, but MKT has Noob saibot as a standard character, not secret, and he seems to be as broken as st akuma, he has unblockable moves and some other shit i saw during some random matches that seemed to be bullshit good. which is why i would understand if noob, like akuma in st, would be banned, the level of bs moves and tactics they have , are so scrub friendly and overpowered, it shouldnt be allowed. iono. im bored. sonyas hot.
the same japanese that abuses vega’s wall dive bs
I dont get it though, how could 3s have been so shitty last year…it was all yuns and chuns. The only other character was ken and he was placed dead last. I get that the jap players where good but I thought there was usually more variety in the charcers jap players used. I lost repect for that game after the results of last years evo.
I wasn’t mad. It was just a dumb answer to the question.
Hmm…if my memory serves me correctly; then there are Japanese tournies that soft-ban Claw too. In fact, I know there was a big one, last year, that soft-banned Claw but allowed Akuma as long as you never put his code in wrong (if you did it was auto-loss).
:wonder:
Nitto, Issei are well known Yun players in Japan.
Ohnuki and tokido are well know chun’s
What, did you think they’d come over and start using Hugo & Sean all of a sudden?
yeah, that’d make a whole lot of sense :rolleyes:
We should have this rule for EVO 2007. Where you can pick Akuma in ST but if at anytime you screw up the code then you automatically lose that match and do match #2. If this was match #2 and you lost match #1 then you get sent to losers…and if you’re already in losers then you’re outa the tournament altogether. What does everyone think?
I like it.
Actually the rule in that Japanese tournament was that if you entered the code wrong your WHOLE TEAM (of 5 players) lost, so it was a lot more extreme than that. Regardless, please fuck off with your “hurr unban akuma” bullshit, it’s gotten really tedious, thanks.
edit: By the way, there’s can be no such thing as a tournament “soft-banning” something. Tournament rules are formal, and the whole point of a soft-ban is that it’s informal, not a hard and fast rule.
The problem is the code isn’t that hard once you know how to do it. So dudes won’t be getting autolosses very much if at all. Plus they get the most broken of characters in the game.
Anyone know who’s banned in JoJo’s B. A.- Heritage for the Future (DC & Arcade)? I heard Pet shop was banned for some reason.

"Petshop is actually broken.
He beats a third of the cast 9-1 and another third of the cast 8-2. He’s invincible to all low attacks because he’s in the air, and if he touches you at all with any amount of meter he can do 80% to 100% (with 2 bars…in a 10 bar game) with a basic BnB."
this shouldnt stop you from playing, infact i suggest you pop Jojo in your dc glue the lid down and use any other games for a rousing game of frisbee golf
Ok the REAL REASON that Akuma’s banned in SSTT is because
(1) His recovery time is overbaringly fast as shit
(2) his zoning priorities are insane(I mean his air fireballs that anyone can pressure with)
(3) his mix-ups with his air jab fireballs into anything are insane
(4) he can teleport through any special and super moves
(5) has a juggling shoryuken
(6) his hurricane kick can juggle you in the air
Also in the right hands can just about kill anyone off
