Ban macros?
Allow macros, but ban macro abuse?
Allow macros, but ban specific abuse of macros, like Justice?
You all are looking at this wrong. Fuck reasoning and arguments and just look at the costs. The only feasible options are to either allow macros or just flat out ban macros. Anything in between would require staff, that don't exist, to monitor each match for abuse. Or worse, have players enforce the rules themselves. Which is just asking for drama. More headache than it's worth.
And so we're back to either banning macros or allowing macros. And we're going to keep things the way they are, macros allowed, because we can't afford to alienate our current pad players and potential fresh faces on the fucking heels of Xrd! This is the same reasoning EVO had for allowing console characters in SF4 and allowing macros. Not everyone who plays these games read these forums, and not everyone who comes to a tournament finds out about these tournaments from a post on the internet with rules attached.
Ok, so I just tried the glitch with Justice and I think this is pretty much a Justice issue. And the Justice playerbase is maybe so small that this is a non-issue? Any pad Justice players? Any stick Justice players that use macros????
