A rule is needed.

[Lorenzo.r.2nd]

Why not make if if situation? If ap is restricted, then the rest cant be restricted, if speed is restricted, then rest isn't, and if hax is restricted, then the resnt isnt. Simple right?

 

[Homu_Sweet_Homu]

I thought this is a Staff only thread.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Saying "We can only restrict one ability" seems a bit arbitrary to me. What matters the most to me imo is what kind of ability.

Take this girl: Madotsuki

Restricting her time stop would only serve the purpose of nerfing her for an easy win.

While restricting Type 8 makes more sense, given that she's technically "dead", and that even in-universe this would be considered for a loss to her anyway, even if it really isn't all things considered.

 

[Primaris_Brian]

Battles should be added in case the restricted ability is something such as Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief as the restricted ability is just an Ap boost

Actually it's just Environmental AP, not really her real AP, but restrict ability that can increasing one Tier is ok too.

 

[Antvasima]

I agree that restricting the abilities that define a character seems like a bad idea, and that if a matchup would be a stomp otherwise, it is a poor selection of participants.

 

[LordWhis]

Restrict nothing. Damn, we already restrict enough guys...seriously.

This^^

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Restrict nothing. If a stomp's a stomp, it's a stomp. If you want to restrict something, put it in F&G

 

[Antvasima]

So, since we seem to have a consensus here, does anybody have a suggestion for how to word a versus thread rule?

 

[PaChi2]

"Restricting abilities in a match is fine. However, matches arranged this way are not to be added to the characters' profiles as they don't involve their full potential, and are only meant to be for casual debating or fun. An exception to this rule is that if the restricted ability/technique has a separate tier from the character's, the match can be added"

Dunno?

 

[Antvasima]

My draft for some structure improvements:

"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."

 

[PaChi2]

Im fine with that structure.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Let's see what the others think as well.

 

[ShrekAlmighty]

I agree with Ants structure

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

By "ability has a separate tier"

I assume we're still fine with barring higher dimensional immortalities?

 

[Antvasima]

I suppose so.

 

[Antvasima]

So, should we add my suggested text to the Versus Thread Rules page?

 

[PaChi2]

I think it's fine to add it @Ant

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

Hello, forgive me for replying here as its staff only, but there was one minor thing I wanted to ask real quick.

If this rule does get set in motion, wouldnt some of the wins/losses from pages already have to be removed if they're because abilities are restricted?

Only thing I wanted to ask Please excuse me.

 

[PaChi2]

Yup @Kukui

 

[Golden_Void]

I like Ant's suggestion.

 

[Antvasima]

I have made the addition:

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/index.php?title=Versus_Thread_Rules&diff=2267355&oldid=2230940

I also performed some other minor changes, including removing the Dragon Ball versus Marvel/DC rule, as we agreed previously.

 

[Golden_Void]

So it's unbanned with the exception of the same controversial matches, such as Goku vs Superman?

 

[Golden_Void]

Also while we're on the topic of versus threads, this needs a look:

https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/1426618

 

[Antvasima]

Well, we agreed to remove it on a trial basis in another thread, but it seems like the versus thread rules were never modified.
