As someone who didn't grow up playing Mega Man, WTF is that whistling noise? It's so annoying.

riddle me this: the idea of a counterpick is to counterpick your foe, right? its not to pick a stage slightly wider or a stage with a single platform. yes there are differences, but the differences are so minuscule that they p much don't matter. this is why nobody striked in 9b.

i'm fine if we only want to play neutrals a-la some other official fighters... but let's not bother with stage striking and keeping the facade up that we've got 'counterpicks'
people are just going to GM to the same stage every time because stage striking takes too long and it doesn't matter what stage they end up on in all actuality bc the stagelist is full of fd variants with 10-pixel differences in blast zones and 1-3 platforms.

we could just say "hazards off, here's the list of legal stages" and call it a day
that way TO's dont have to bother writing out unused stage striking rules so players can elect to strike between
"fd, slightly wider fd, fd with one platform, fd with one moving platform, fd with two platforms on the outside, smaller fd, fd with 3 platforms" and waste 10 mins per set
