The simple answer is because people like them that way. This is a hobby, what people like should be taken into account, even if it doesn't always make sense. I don't know that anyone considers the matches the official VSBW take, though- after all, a good swathe of them just have zero staff votes at all.Frankly why have any matches on any files
Now, keep in mind I care so little about this topic that I barely feel any significance in even placing that suggestion forward, but I've heard it spoken ad nauseum for like, 3 years now that this is an indexing site primarily, yet our profiles show our "official" take on matchups, leading to some substantial stretching of the rules ala the speed equalization thing that began this thread in the first place, or just, very weird rulings on the interactions between powers or frankly just, any amount of things that could be stupid on a matchup we make, breeding toxicity that never needed to be there to begin with.
Now, to be clear, what I'm saying is a very distinct thing from removing the idea of Versus threads whatsoever, I just really have to wonder at this point the purpose of having them on the pages, now that the thought's in my head.
People like their matches being represented on pages to give an idea of what the community voted on a particular matchup under particular conditions. Ain't harmful, it's already standard, I'd be opposed to removing that, too.
