This topic has been brought before, inspired by a conversation here on SBA discussion. It is about making a rule to expand on the OP controversial topic in Vs thread from this rule:
While this rule exists here, it is somewhat suggestive as things that are controversial varied from users.
The problem is in some threads, OP has set up rules that implicitly limit a characters' abilities in vs threads. I think Wokistant's point here mentioned these versus battle threads' main problem:
There was also a match that I remember was removed for this reason; Sonic at 5-B lost to Phoenix from a court debate where Sonic has no formed of knowledge of formal courtroom debate.
I am doubtful about making some winning conditions not being based around special abilities like superpower or tiering statistics. I also have seen some OP make some funky rules like one restrict Immortality Type 8 and another to restricted all deadly hax where most of the opponents' abilities became restricted as the manner that bypassed this rule below:
Moritzva did explain some characters are entirely not at their peak in fighting potential but in certain situations relating to these characters' expertise and so think some of these matches can occur within appropriated:
I think Moritzva's point here would work for a good rule as a solution:
This board is for discussing character fights. Please avoid highly controversial topics. | ||

These matches aren't really fights, indirectly restrict a lot of things, and are biased by necessity. The super nonstandard format lends itself pretty well to win farming, isn't accounted for by the rules, and can pretty easily lead into weirdness with other matches too.I could give The Number Man a victory over some super high tier character because i set the only wincon to hacking into the opponent's bank account or something, which seems really stupid to have added to the profiles. | ||

It is fine to restrict abilities in a versus matchup. However, matches that are arranged this way should not be added to the character profiles, as they don't involve their full potential, and are only intended for casual entertainment. An exception would be if the restricted ability/technique has a separate tier from the main one. In this case, the match can be added. | ||
I think Moritzva's point here would work for a good rule as a solution:
- It's okay to give characters conditions that allow them to use their abilities properly, but not if they stop the others from being able to use theirs as well.
- It is fine to make matches who victory conditions revolved around nonbattle conditions but these matches should not be added to the character profiles.
- An update to this rule, too:
- It is not fine to restrict abilities in a versus matchup, implicitly or expressly. Matches that are arranged this way should not be added to the character profiles, as they don't involve their full potential, and are only intended for casual entertainment. An exception would be if the restricted ability/technique has a separate tier from the main one. In this case, the match can be added. The match can also be added if Optional Equipments such as optional power-ups and items are restricted.
