i think counterpicking characters is boring. like, it's necessary and it should happen, and it's even in general good when it does happen. but i've seen people say that at least the smash ruleset is designed to provide a benefit to people who can play more than one character because that's exciting, but for the most part i don't think that is

it needs to be allowed so you don't get trapped in a helpless matchup but i'm not excited when someone switches from an even matchup to a good one. i'm walking away from that set thinking "that person won because they learned a second character" more than i'm thinking about the game they played

@monorail it's an interesting take! not sure if and how much i agree with it myself, haven't played in enough tournaments to have an opinion on it i think
