Look, due to having sustainably 14 due to a certain someone getting banned and another who has scheduling conflicts, all while maintaining the tournament to ZFGC members only as it should be, we have a certain contingency of characters, and the information was already provided to you. There are 2 Lucas, 2 Toon Links, 2 Snakes, and 2 Sonics. This means that 8 are duplicates and 6 are originals. This may not seem that significant really and will give the appearance of being diverse at first. However, once you get to the second round, without getting into specific probabilities of course as this is just too damn complicated (well I can't remember statistics, it is all fraction work), there is then at least more than one pair of duplicates in the next round. Meh.
My point about how it would be boring for the observer to watch still stands for the most part. It is more interesting when the characters in the brackets are as diverse as possible. I thought more and more about it and looked at how the bracket is structured now, and taking into account that there are two distinct sides to the bracket as it ends with two participants fighting for the top spot, having three Links in the bracket would result in one being on one side and two being on the other. The two on the other if they fought would eliminate one of them, and if they fought later on, then that would be. A one-on-one against two characters of the same type would be unlikely unless there is a select disadvantage, fate, and glitches conspired it all.
Also, there is the more of a certain character you have, the more disadvantaged it is to win with that character as more of your opponents will be ready and experienced.
I will take back what I said about the images as they seem easy enough to make, but alas I am not the one making them, so if Hammer Bro. Mike changes them, you would have to be thankful that he would go through the effort. It would be a pain in the ass for everyone or at least a significant number of people to switch their information now though as there are two images and some other things that would have to be created for each of those who changed. Really, Hammer Bro. Mike is doing a lot.
The thing specifically about Toon Link though is that there are currently 2 participants who chose him, 1 who wanted to be him but settled on Sonic, and you who wants to be him. If I change it for you, then if this other user has qualms about me saying no to them, then what? If he is allowed to be Toon Link, and you, and those other two, then if the best circumstances happened for Toon Links, they would pack the final four. Ironic I know since I am 4Sword, I should think this is cool.
In response to your request though, I am going to send messages to all participants asking them all if they want to be something else. Based on their responses and the consultation of the rest of Brawl team (Regulus and I), we will consider what to do from there, but this is really pushing it. You're lucky I try to please everybody even though doing so realistically almost never happens and is a pain in the ass. I would prefer if you remained Diddy because that just keeps it interesting and winning is not everything. However, this is also ZFGC, and Zelda is our bread and butter, so I would be open to more than two Zelda character restriction lifts.
Is this fair?
