MFB: Limited :: Ban List Discussion (v1.5 - 9/20/16)

Honestly, the pure stamina and defense customs aren't what bother me with scythe, it's setups like th170 d and tb that can literally destabilize everything in the world due to scythes width, it's like a better version of duo 230 MB

I was talking about its pure Stamina ability against other Wheels, but customs like those should certainly be in the discussion too if they are competitive. However, those in particular sound like they'd be incredibly easy to KO, like Duo 230MB, so theoretically they don't concern me.
Tb has significantly higher defense than MB, I'll drop some tests in later to back this up
Kicking MF Scythe into the list is fine, but really, Omega has to be re-banned?

TBH Omega is really light enough to be get around with, yeah probably when against 145 it is beast, but how about something like 230s? (don't have much data but I'm pretty sure it does not need to be banned)

And, if Gravity is unbanned, then there is no reason for Omega to be banned considering how splashable Gravity can be.
so guys, is there going to be a new ban list soon for limited format?

As was discussed in the Advanced Forum two months ago, it was found to be preferable to have the same ban list for the qualifiers and the championship, unless something was an absolute and globally-agreed emergency, in which case it would be added or removed from the ban list after the qualifiers and before the championship. Right now though, besides Scythe which some people want to test more, it does not look like there is such an emergency.
so do you think scythe is going to be banned lol?
I bought myself one that is on its way : hopefully it is a good mould and I can cut this issue once and for all, hah.
Kai-V: Don't worry, even if it turns out to be a not-so-good mold, it can still do well. AA2 is the best chance to get a good mold (like th!nk did) but some people have turned in good results even with the other molds.

If only th!nk wasn't taking his leave right now It is a mystery
So nothing is going to get banned?
Honestly ban Scythe right before BeyDays. That way people will stop whining and actually start using versatile combinations. Isn't that the point if this format, to give pre-4D Metal Wheels a chance...?
what a second, gravity is banned right?Confused

Id be hesitant to ban anything just days before BeyDays. If we were going to ban anything id have announced it with the Beydays announcement.

I can assure you, there will be versatility this weekend.
I hope to not see a myriad of Scythe and Omega combos as they are so prevalent...

That may happen. Omega is ridiculously good and op. I forsee libra making a big impact this weekend and maybe tornado stallers.
I have the ultimate secret counter to Omega Combos :3

If I am able to attend, I will show my stuff of at BeyDays.
I think people have already found decent combos that beat Omega. I beat MF-H Omega 85/90/105 R2F at NC's GBT2 Qualifier using MF-H Libra SR200 RB.
Bakushin 85 RF works as anti-attack
I'm just making sure, Bearing Drive (BD) isn't banned right?!

o.e
I seriously want Scythe to be banned after Anime North. I'm willing to bet that the top combo will be a Scythe Hybrid combo.
Where do you feel we stand on Scythe/Omega? If we bannone we have to ban the other. Also, lets open the floor to discussion on SA165. Potentially Unbannable? Would like some input from the community.

Can't speak for Scythe or SA165, but I think Omega is a tad over powered, even if some combos counter it.

I feel that if we unban SA165, Omega won't be as OP, maybe it will be a good thing. I just ordered an Omega earlier today, I'll try to do some tests when it arrives.
