As opposed to listening to who else's definition of fair? Why should the game not be the authority? Especially when it makes 1-2 new characters potentially viable and causes no problems other than violating some arbitrary, subjective concept of "fairness" some players have created. This concept...

I can see where they have more freedom, which is literally a part of their design, but in what appreciable way is there an inherent advantage to being able to make a one-off customized fighter? Keeping in mind that in most cases only 1 or 2 of the move options are worthwhile, and also keeping in...

I may come and play friendlies if you think you have enough setups, I'm not going to pay to enter the tournament if I can't use Mii Brawler :(

A relatively valid argument, compared to what I've been dealing with in this thread so far. It's refreshing lol. The thing with Mii size and weight is that no one is actually keying on these things. Good players will learn what works and what doesn't work intuitively in the early stages of a...

My meaning was that the Mii's alternate specials are more different than the other characters, in accordance with their design as a "Create-a-Fighter". Coupling this with different weights and heights, it would only be a bit of a stretch to say that each new Mii is basically a new character...

What "objectively" means is that an objective observer (i.e. not you; T0MMY himself has said he wasn't a fan of Miis until he took a step back and looked at it philosophically), based on logic and the philosophical principles outlined in the original post, would come to the same conclusion that...

He isn't. What he's saying is, any ruleset where there are restrictions on Miis is objectively wrong unless those ban conditions outlined in his original post are met. I'm inclined to agree.

If by every bit as unique you mean less unique because he has no original moves then sure.

You're equating two things that aren't the same. Custom characters in Soul Calibur and Tekken use the moveset of someone else and are not unique characters (not counting Devil Jin, but he's broken anyway). And again, your idea that Sakurai doesn't care about the Miis is woefully misguided...

Why are you harping on what their "default" setting is? Popcorn is default without butter and salt when you take it out of the microwave, does that mean you aren't supposed to customize it? The Mii creation page could put a big "DEFAULT" sticker on all the 1111 moves but it does not change the...

And that's where we disagree. Miis are the exception and they were designed to be that exception. The evidence is there, if you choose to ignore it I can't stop you.

That wasn't my post but I'll give my thoughts. I'm personally 100% in favor of customs being legal on all characters, right now would be best, utilizing the 3DS ability to transfer characters one can port over their chosen custom set. The earlier we do it, the faster people can begin to learn...

So by that logic is it then unfair to switch to another character when you lose to improve your matchup? That constitutes a much bigger change than swapping a move on your Mii, and I really can't imagine a situation where changing a move around would greatly affect a matchup, you're welcome to...

What other reason would there be for Miis to have their customs allowed in Customization: Off other than the maker of the game designing the character that way? You can continue to bring up Event Mode all you want as well, it proves nothing about the intent of the developer with the character...

I'm not sure what your point is, you're providing flimsy circumstantial evidence that runs contrary to what is observable. Sakurai saw fit to let the Miis and only the Miis use their customs in Customization: Off. This was not done on accident. Try harder to convince me, because as it stands the...
