Infrared Scorpion is out cuz I don't want anyone watching the tournaments that suffers from epilepsy to have a seizure. ALSO to the asshole at NRS that thought this skin was a good idea... fuck off ya git

The second rule prevents players to pick stages that offer benefits to their specific character selection ALTHOUGH I ADMIT I HAVEN'T BEEN ENFORCING THIS AS I SHOULD HAVE.
That WILL CHANGE.

As for the first reason, you did the right choice to ban it. I, for one reason, loathe the white background, for it fucks my vision.

The second one, no need to change it, because you want to prevent the players to select any specific stages that could be on their favor.
 
? :D Seems pretty straight forward unless im missing something.
There is the specific case of Liu Kang dualist with its evil orb disappearing on the corner whereas it doesn't on other maps for example. Dunno for other characters in which a map is disadvantageous
 
loool
I get the fact that one should go random or training ffs

but I can't understand why if there's a real reason behind this decision
Characters like imposter getting guaranteed 20% of interactables, characters with bad armour benefit more on certain stages. Whats so hard to understand?

And about the stages it's like this, both of those options guarantee a totally unbiased stage selection, if the elder gods deem that you'll get a map you like playing on then more power to you.
