Standard Battle Assumption Revision

[Yobo_Blue]

On the SBA page, a current rule is that neither character should have any prior knowledge of the other under any circumstances.

However, this rule is unnecessary for a few reasons. First of all, there would be no reason to assume that fighters suddenly have knowledge outside of their normal knowledge or intelligence, and knowledge on the opponent is no different. It's about as necessary as saying that a character shouldn't know quantum physics by default. Furthermore, if they do have knowledge (it doesn't matter through what means), this rule doesn't really do much except hinder them for having a advantage.

TLDR: Its redundant.

It's better to be specific about such things and if it's just redundant it doesn't do any harm.

So just leave it there.

But it also clearly hampers people who have legitimate methods of prior knowledge, so it at the very least requires specification.

 

[DontTalkDT]

Well, I suppose we can specifiy "unless they canoncically have it".
