How do you feel about "soft bans"?
I like the idea of soft bans. The way that the Japanese use a soft ban to improve the gameplay in tournaments is interesting.
Do you feel that this contradicts "playing to win"?
Someone could argue that it does but I don't think it actually contradicts "playing to win." Each player is still playing to win.
Also, how do you feel about the Street Fighter community's decision to outright ban Akuma from Super Turbo?
Although I've never played Super Turbo, the ban on Akuma seems justified. A character with that much strength ruins the game since he will be the only character chosen.
Is this hypocritical?
No.
Do you feel that bans are ever warranted?
Certainly. In most competitive games that I have played bans are an important part of the game. They keep the "metagame" from being stale with the variety that is usually available by banning the overpowered/unfair things of the game.
