Very recently, you reverted an edit because Zackray did not win a set at The Big House 9 with Corrin or Sonic. I understand that this idea has been followed for a while, but why? What's the purpose of excluding characters that the player did use? The only circumstance I can imagine it would be unnecessary to add a character is if the player only used them in one game for fun. I don't want to make a proposal to change this as it isn't a policy, I just thought I'd ask about it.

:If you want my most honest answer, it's that me and other users have only recorded wins with characters on this wiki. My reasoning is that, most of the time, they're characters that are only used once during a match; if we record all character wins, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Tournament:Sumabato_SP_6&oldid=1262328 we would have cases like this one], where it unnecessarily stretch out the table. Of course, there are still examples where players have won sets with like 8 characters ([[Tournament:Ascension V|trust me]]) but those are very rare cases. To be consistent with all tournaments, however, that's why we generally don't include characters that they lost sets with. Either that, or we only list wins on this wiki.

::Another (potentially erroneous) reasoning is that listing characters that didn't help them win a set shows that they aren't truly skilled with playing said character. For example, Stroder lost to ESAM playing Dr. Mario at Ultimate Nimbus. Should this character be recorded, showcasing that Stroder is a competent Dr. Mario main | ::Another (potentially erroneous) reasoning is that listing characters that didn't help them win a set shows that they aren't truly skilled with playing said character. For example, Stroder lost to ESAM playing Dr. Mario at Ultimate Nimbus. Should this character be recorded, showcasing that Stroder is a competent Dr. Mario main in that situation? Similarly, Nairo won game 4 with Robin against Marss a while ago, but then lost game 5 using Dark Pit. We didn't record Robin since, if he truly was a competent Robin main in that situation, he would've stuck with that character and defeated Marss instead. Again, this may be severely flawed, but it's another reason.
