:'''Strong Keep'''.  It may have started as a personal nickname, but it has grown to be known among the community.  Many of the tournament pages on Smash Boards just say "Dave's Stupid Rule" is in effect, with no explanation.  This rule was created for Smash, in a Smash setting, and is used at most Smash tourneys.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 19:04, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I noticed this shortly after the RoM5 controversy, but I think it's finally time to bring this up. [https://smashboards.com/threads/banning-neutrals-not-allowed.101692/#post-2303398 According to Scamp himself, what this article describes as "Modified DSR" is actually the original version of DSR rather than vice versa]. Not being able to go back to any stage is a variation. For unknown reasons, however, people mixed it up eventually.
 
A large portion of this page will have to be re-written entirely. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 17:00, 23 January 2017 (EST)
 
:While Scamp does say that the commonly used version is a variation of the original rule, he doesn't claim that play-restricted or win-restricted DSR was at any point known as "modified DSR." If you look up modified DSR, almost all discussion on it pertains to last-win-restricted DSR (original ruling). It has been quite a while since this comment so I assume the page has changed significantly. Modified DSR's section currently describes a rule that has not been used in ''any'' major Melee tournament for over ten years, and was likely never widely known as modified DSR. The description of modified DSR needs to be changed to accurately reflect the usage of the term. Details about the history of the variation names could be placed in their own section, where they could be described more adequately.

Not sure if having direct examples to fighters would be necessary, like you could just say Player 1 and Player 2. [[User:MRuuby|MRuuby]] ([[User talk:MRuuby|talk]]) 23:02, August 1, 2021 (EDT)
