Heres a question. Do you feel that players have a right to v1.00? In other words, we know that v1.00 mechanics make certain characters stronger - especially of note is the change in hitlag behavior, which gives certain multi-hit attacks more effectiveness, including Samus upB and Young Links grounded upB. This happens because any attack that deals less than 1% damage results in no hitlag, meaning SDI is not in effect. In v1.02, theres a hard minimum of 1 frame of hitlag, which means any attack can be SDId. If a player insists on v1.00 in a tournament, how should that be handled? Do you comply to their request because v1.00 only strengthens lower tiers? Or, do you disallow it because v1.00 is less standard? I would argue that these character moves were designed/balanced for v1.00, and that the devs forgot to consider that the v1.02 hitlag change would make these attacks ineffective. This is especially obvious with Young Links grounded upB, which is solid by design in v1.00 yet completely useless in v1.02. Does this affect your opinion, or have we long ago decided that the developers intentions dont matter? If certain v1.00 features suddenly become more accessible in a tournament, then this is an interesting question that TOs should ask themselves.
