Right, so after yet another matchup rubbed me the wrong way I decided something needed to be said. Ok, so recently it seems that there was a complaint about speed stomp battles and as a result there has now been a rule about not creating battles of the sort. Consequently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of battles where speed is equalized.
However in trying to solve one problem an even bigger evil has been created, namely that battles with speed equalized are now being added to victory and losses pages. This is completely ridiculous and just plain wrong for the following reasons
1 - It's completely meaningless for one character to beat another when speed is equalzied since A - Beating an opponent at anything other than their best is meaningless. If one fighter fought another while one had both their hands tied or some other kind of handicap would anyone accept or be happy with that? B - By typing out that speed is equalized you are letting the world know who would really win an actual confrontation thereby again making the whole match-up pointless
2 - Several of these matchups are even more unfair than speed stomps since they end up placing a character vastly more haxed than the other against another, which is just as bad as a speed stomp if not more so, since you are robbing one character of a trait that would be incredible useful in the fight
3 - Some characters depend on speed to win, so if you take that away you are completely rob any chance they have in any matchup, since placing a character several tiers above another counts as a stomp. As the whole point of introducing the rule about speed stomps was to make things more fair this completely defeats the whole point of the rule.
For those who are still unhappy about speed-stomp matchups, I propose a new rule about matups with speed equalized that should appease both parties
Matchups with speed equalized should be added to victories/losses of profile pages IF and ony IF the outcome is the same either way, whether the victor of the battle is the same whether speed is equalized or not.
Any battles with speed equalized where the speed equalized part was vital to a certain victory should also be removed effective immediately
