So, we all know what Standard Equipment and Optional Equipment are according to the rules.
Now the thing that I want to bring up is something not covered by the rules. How do we treat equipment that a character has yet to recieve or have lost in certain keys?
I brought up this question in this thread on Steven Universe's Optional Equipment. I said that Steven shouldn't have the Glass of Time post first season key regardless of status of Optional Equipment or not, as he canonically shatters the glass halfway through the first season.
Alternatively, The Hunter doesn't get the Bloodletter until after accessing the DLC, which doesn't happen until you beat Rom. So arguments in vs matches saying that The Hunter mind haxes in his first key shouldn't be valid.
I'm not saying we shouldn't be able to have characters access all their equipment. I'm saying that if we do, it should be clear whether or not they can in the first place. There should be a rule about this saying that characters don't get equipment in keys where they canonically don't have them yet, or lose them due to circumstances.
Additionally, for composited characters like Ashen One, Chosen Undead, and other characters who use the Early game - End game format, we should seperate their powers and abilities gained from equipment based on keys.
