Personally I'd be very down with a separate 100% custom bracket in tournaments, assuming that character equipment customization ends up being an evolving strategic process. I kinda suspect it wont for the same reason i doubt equipment has any chance of making it into the normal competitive...

Who said it was an absolute necessity for every competitive player to know every tiny detail about every possibility? Or for anyone to be able to know every tiny detail? I'm not certain how we allowed this kind of thinking to become the standard. Competitive smashers have become so insecure and...
