Official Soulcalibur V Post-EVO 2012 Rule Changes!

you should stop making an ass of yourself with those assumptions, you could simply ask around 8 way chat before putting your foot in your mouth next time

Or you could take my arguments with some merit instead of just calling me an ass. What did I say that was so 'foot in mouth?'

well my ability to detect sarcasm online is not so dull that I could not sense you are suggesting I am unfriendly, which is absolutely not the case, however if you werent being sarcastic, then my apologies, you are absolutely correct

your argument has no merit, when you lay out a single good point for why the infinite should be unbanned, then I will be very interested in what you have to say

Yes, they banned it because it is an infinite. Why else would they ban it?

If Aeon had an infinite it would be banned too. He wouldnt be top but the infinite would still have to go, for obvious reasons. Viola on the other hand is arguably a top 5 character, add in the infinite and it was just too much.

Forgot to reply to this and the previous one. Actually, how good a character is definitely factors into whether something should be banned. You seem to have some understanding toward this based on what I quoted.

If there was a character that was sub-par in every way but had an infinite that made the character arguably mid-tier, then that infinite shouldn't be taken out. It actually makes the character playable. That's excellent for fans of that character, and opponents have to learn to deal with a mid-tier character.

I understand that Viola is a very strong character with the infinite but is she too strong? As in, is she clearly the strongest character in the game? This is why it matters.

And this is also why you don't just ban an infinite for being an infinite.

Well I did talk to you briefly at MLG Anaheim but I doubt you remember. You weren't mean then, even after you just lost.

Anyway, I don't think the infinite should be unbanned, actually. With all the trouble going into it's ban I don't want to re-create all of it just to get in unbanned when I don't think it's vital to the game in any way. I just don't think it should have been banned in the first place and I've already expressed why. If there's anything that's unclear please let me know.

tiers become kind of subjective towards the top, so while I can claim viola is the best with the infinite, you can easily disagree and I could not prove it, no tourney results do not prove tiers, S tier characters do not win every tourney, so your whole argument resides on the fact that you do not believe viola is top tier, that is your belief, and cannot really be disproven, so this is a belief issue, but most people believe she is too good with her infinite, the fact is, the best viola players have NOT exploited the infinite, so your argument that since tokido did not win evo is invalid, just because I teach a 4 year old the infinite, doesn't mean they will automatically win, you also need to have good game fundamentals, just because it makes her broken and unbalanced doesn't mean she has an automatic win button
