My personal opinion, while Jungle Japes and Pirate Ship are janky, they don't hold A CANDLE to Green Greens. If you don't believe me, line up a chain-throw character VS you on that stage, and see what happens. Man, it's. Bad.
Beyond that, I didn't see anything rules wise to freak out about; then again, I didn't really read as much as I could have either.
SO MY COMMENTS?
If we go MLG - we should SERIOUSLY discuss what happens with Green Greens.
CHANGE MLG STAGES - if we append the stage list, then you won't be used to banning GG, and could forget when you travel, MLG, etc.
DON'T CHANGE MLG STAGES - if we switch to MLG, and don't change, you'll HAVE to bann Green Greens to stand a chance against some characters, which means you'll HAVE to get better on some stages you might be banning now to avoid, ala Frigate, Rainbow, Lylat, Brinstar, etc.
Overall, I'm pro MLG, because that seems to be what the National community is, and will switch to. Just look at Halo, yea.
However, I think the decision to just kill GG is big - if we do it, it had better be because we think MLG will eventually learn they are idiots. If we do it thinking they won't, well it's like I said - you can get blind sided with other stages because you use your one ban to get GG when you travel, and forget about all those others stages you might lack on.
