I don't like the idea of giving teams individual tiers on keys.
I still heavily dislike the Standard Equipment option unless it's a familiar like a Servant from Fate. That's like calling
Robi equipment for
Batma.
I also want to remove the SSB key from the Ice Climbers profile, but that's another topic.
This is an important and so far favorable suggestion, please try to read it.
I dislike teams having individual tiers on keys as well. I don't like the third option in general, it just hurts my brain and overcomplicates things in general.
I don't think you and others understand what I mean, obviously we wouldn't just have Robin there so and so. We would have it clarified, saying "Robin, whom assists Batman as his sidekick on many different occasions." That's the basic gist of it, you can re-word it but that's semantics. And the statement is true, Robin does function as Batman's sidekick, and Batman does use him, so functionally he does act as equipment.
Maybe if you want to add a partner tab on profiles that have partners? That seems like more work for something irrelevant though, my previous suggestion works just as well.
(TYPE A) This is for those who have a partner, work with their partner often enough where the two seem synonymous, but still have the ability to function on their own. Characters who meet these criteria should have each other listed under standard equipment, because it is standard for them to use each other functionally as equipment, becoming stronger thanks to each other. These would be characters like Nana and Popo, Batman and Robin. All of them would have seperate pages, of course, they would just be referenced and linked to each other in the standard equipment section. Of course, partners can be restricted, in fact, common sense says we should automatically assume so unless told otherwise.
(TYPE B) If one of the characters seems like the "main" character and the other a "side" character, with the "main" character still being able to function while the "side" character cannot, they would go under one profile. It would be unnecessary to have another profile for the "side" character since we've already established they can't function without the "main". These would be characters like Master Chief and Cortana, Link and Navi. All of them would go under the "main" characters page, and while they would be listed under standard equipment, they would have their own mini "profile" under the notable abilities/attacks section. These type of partners cannot be restricted unless you're taking the character from a specific key in which they don't have their partner.
(TYPE C) If a character seems like a "main" character, and they bring in another character mid-fight, the character they brought in would be classified and treated as a "summon". This would be characters like Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum, Yu Narumaki and Izanagi. They would only be referenced under notable attacks/abilities. Basically they would remain unchanged. These type of partners usually cannot be restricted, as that's the same as restricting abilities. Of course, if a character has a key in which they don't have their summoning ability, its fair game.
So how would we add a victory in a teamfight? Well in the case of Type A, we would add the victories and defeats to both of the partners character pages, as there were two profiles and two characters involved in that one fight. In the case of Type B, we would only have to add them under one profile, the "main" characters profile. Same goes for Type C.
Does anyone have an issue with this suggestion? I know it might seem a tad strange calling your partner "equipment", but like I said, if you think about it, functionally the two partners are "using" each other to make them stronger and better in general, just like equipment.
TL;DR - NONE GO BACK AND READ IT
