OK, shitty comparison, but valid point nonetheless. Chef is preemptively option selecting. He didn't mind using one of his alts when he challenged FilPops to a Lobo mirror. Anyway, the stakes should be whatever both players agree to, but there should be no excuses. Chef's earlier post about "let 16 Bit play with 5-9 characters and I play with one" is flawed since Bit is a one character specialist. Chef willingly chose to play multiple characters, which is impressive, don't get me wrong.
This is still bullshit.
Chef is at a clear disadvantage in this challenge. It's 100% fair game for him to point that out. As much as he's 'making excuses' for if he loses you're taking away props he deserves if he wins by claiming he can't point out that disadvantage. It works both ways.
He's putting his pride on the line here. If Bit wins you know he's gonna pop off, and chew into Chef for his option select(despite the fact that he forced the option select onto Chef)
And the fact that Chef often chooses to play different character is completely irrelevant. He's probably never used 5 characters in one tournament before, I know he's never used 9(barring 3am random select tournaments in Arizona and whatnot), and he certainly hasn't used that many in a set this length in many cases. And the point of playing multiple character is so you can play match ups your comfortable with , play characters you're enjoying at the time, or help you adapt to character/opponent you're struggling with, forcing him to cycle through them eliminates all of that. There's a huge difference between having a rotating 3 characters tournament ready and being forced to have at least 5, probably closer to 9, at one time ready to go for a money match.
And all of this stuff about "Chef chooses to play multiple characters" is nonsense to. He chooses to PLAY those characters, not to use them when he'd rather play a different match up.
This is all stupid. Chef is taking up the challenge even though it's slanted against him. You can't expect him to not use the option select that's there by design. If 16 Bit wants his full props he'll patch the challenge to fix the option select
