    Hey, Jibaku, I appreciated your response in Ojama's thread! Which reminds me...why was Mega Gar unbanned in this year's SPL?! I remember it being banned in the middle of last year's SPL, but I saw Mega Gar in aim's Week 2 match this year, which surprised me. Is there any explanations for Mega Gengar's release? Or was this only a temporary thing and now Gengarite is banned again?

    chaos felt that the suspect test was handled dubiously (trying to ban shadow tag after gengarite's failure, mm2 and fireburn's biases against tag during paragraph review, the sudden simple minority ban vote), and decided to reverse it. Basically
    1) Tag got banned
    2) Massive community outrage (especially on /vp)
    3) chaos was notified of this and immediately reversed the decision
    4) Later on, it was discovered that Fireburn actually miscounted the votes so Shadow Tag wouldn't have even been banned in the first place.

    Thanks for filling me in, Jibaku! I'm surprised the ubers playerbase opted to keep Mega Gar.

    it's not so much the ubers playerbase as the players who were able to make reqs.. these things are not one and the same. Lots of older gens players who felt that people should 'git gud' put in the effort and voted, but a large proportion of the IRC, PS room, and forum community were against it.

    Either way it's a bit problematic since the reason to ban it as 'uncompetitive' is not strong enough in a tier whose philosophy is to be the tier that is competitive but with the fewest possible bans, but is strong enough in a tier deemed competitive enough for usage in SPL and grand slam. Overall the suspect thread just became shrang and melee mewtwo arguing both sides ad infinitum pretty much, which I feel was merely rooted in the differing philosophy for what the tier was supposed to achieve. ._.
