Idea: Edition Select for Project M?

[CoeusFreeze]

Some people are never satisfied with character alterations, and there will always be those who want to go back to their old characters at points. One need only look at these forums to observe the complaints about the balance of certain characters and how much some players hate nerfs that were given them.

Thus, I propose a an idea, one that has worked rather well for another prominent fighter.

It's called Edition Select, and the way it works is that it allows players to select between iterations of characters from different editions of the game. I think it would work well in project M, allowing people who enjoyed 2.5 sonic or 2.1 lucario to pick them up and spar with current characters. Heck, it may even allow certain characters to adopt their unaltered melee stats.

What do you folks think of this idea? Could it be implemented? Should it?

While I think this could be a pretty neat idea as far as friendly matches go, there would inevitably be people who would want to use those editions of characters in tourneys. It would be easy enough to just say that you have to use the current edition, but then you might have people who only practice with 2.1 Luc and the like. It's a pretty cool idea, but not enough characters have been so radically changed that it would be worth the effort.

Technically infeasible and there's no real reason for us to try and fragment the playerbase like that.
