Composite Profiles

I mean, it's utterly redundant for this discussion to be a thing if it's not allowed to be added to begin with. You can do nearly anything you want in a match that isn't add-eable.
 
And if you want to have a Composite fight you make a Composite Profile that follows the guidelines, not remove canon limitations, nerfs and amps just because the fight isn't fair.

It's unfortunate that the match isn't as fair as you want it to be, yes. We should complicate and remove basically every single nerf the character has canonically received, no.
 
So, then you're in favor of composite profiles? Or using the Conpisite Keys as long as they're not added? Then obviously i'm With that.
 
I'm personally neutral on whether or not we allow composite canons, but that's a case by case scenario. Obviously creating a composite for non-canon characters or composite that includes combining canon with non-canon is strictly forbidden. But Composite between canons can be allowed under certain circumstances. Like Composite Link is allowed because he consists of many characters who are equally important to the main series, but I'm unsure about if one character who has many different battle armors being allowed.
 
I think that Kepekley makes sense. Should we close this discussion, or write some sort of guideline first?
 
The instruction probably needs to be a bit more elaborate, so people understand it easier.

Then it can be placed in the Versus Thread Rules and/or Standard Battle Assumptions page, whichever is more appropriate. I am not familiar with versus matchup conditions.
 
Alright, how about:

Preferably only make matches with the versions of characters in their profile page, as it would otherwise lead to complicated matches that can be deemed as unfair and make composite profiles and keys redudant.
 
Maybe something like this:

"Preferably avoid starting versus threads that involve composite versions of the characters that are not listed in their profile pages within this wiki, as it would otherwise lead to complicated and unreliable matches that can be deemed as unfair and make composite profiles and keys redundant."

It is just a draft though, and needs to be reworked. Kepekley might have some ideas.
 
Maybe add on the end "If one does get made, make sure not to add it to either profile."?
 
Okay.

"Preferably avoid starting versus threads that involve composite versions of the characters that are not listed in their profile pages within this wiki, as it would otherwise lead to complicated and unreliable matches that can be deemed as unfair and make composite profiles and keys redundant. If such a thread is created, make sure to not add it to either of the involved character profiles."
 
Sorry to intrude, but I feel that we shouldnt discourage the usage of profile-less composite. They are harmless.

We dont discourage the use of 1-As even though they are not meant to be added 90% of the time. I think its the same in this situation, these composites should only be created for the sake of discussion and not expect them to be added.
 
So, what do people think about the latest draft?
 
While Pachi does make a good point, I personally think those kind of matches technically count more as Fun and Games matches rather than Versus threads. As for Ant's final draft, I think it looks great.
 
I think if your considering what PaChi2 said it should look more like this.

"Do not add the results of a versus thread that involves composites of versions of the characters that are not listed in there profiles within this wiki to any profile, as they are complicated and do not paint a proper picture of the character's abilitys."

A *** match is still a match, I dont really see a difference between discussing a character in the VTB and the FaGB, they wont be add anyways.

As for the draft, I like Darkmon's.
 
Yeah, banning Composite matches that combine canon and non canon is rather unfair, since it's harmless.
 
Something like this perhaps?

"Avoid adding the results of versus threads that involve composite versions of the characters, that are not listed in their profile pages within this wiki, to either of the involved character profiles, as they are complicated and do not paint a proper picture of the character abilities."
 
Okay. Feel free to add the new rule and to close this thread then.
 
Speaking of rules can someone update that page so the rules about types 4, 8, and 9 being allowed now and speed amps being allowed in speed equal matches are correct?
 
The rules page hasn't been updated so things like types 4, 8, and 9 immortality being allowed in versus threads and speed amps being allowed in speed equalized matches isn't on there, rather the opposite is stated for both rules despite the former being agreed on for months
