Idea for a more diverse first round

[Magik0722]

This has to do with the stage striking system. This system was created so that players can eliminate the stages they dislike. However the problem is that the nuetrals typically arent truly nuetral and the stage is decided based on the matchup. For example in a Marth vs Diddy kong first round the marth will strike final destination and smashvile and the diddy kong will strike lylat and yoshis island and the stage will go to battlefield pretty much 100% of the time. Now IMO this gives the marth player the advantage in stage (you dont really need to argue this since its not the point of the thread) and since its always battlefield the marth player basically gets their first round as a counterpick. My idea? Make the stage striking happen before character selection, this keeps the original idea of allowing players to not play on stages they dislike while also not predeterming the first stage based on the matchup and arbitrarily creating advantages

So discuss.
