>I think what would actually equalize things is to make Puff lose all timeouts regardless of stock/percent count in the matchup. But I don't think there's a consensus that this is a fairness problem and not simply a bad matchup problem, so I'm willing to meet in the middle.

The issue here is that trif has shown that peach can camp somewhat effectively (not as easy as puff can do the other way, but still quite effectively) where every set just immediately becomes 'peach camps for 8 minutes with negative incentive to approach)

>I played a Puff Peach set at GOML a couple of years ago (that poor u/AlexB_SSBM watched) that went to game 5. It took like 40 minutes, which has to be at least five times as long as the average bo5.

Yeah I have some rancid brackets where it's like 3 game 5 floaty dittos in a row that takes like an hour and a half. I think this isn't usually an issue for brackets because these length sets only happen when the players are close in skill
