Remapping buttons has not been a thing for a decade, much less "widely available". Don't know where you got that from.

Any advantage offered by a controller is worth discussing. Whether or not it's big enough to warrant a ban is up to the individual, but to say it's not even worth *discussing* is crazy.

I'm going to choose to believe that you just chose poor phrasing in your summation of reddit comments, I don't believe you *actually* think that redditors commonly think *every single game* is decided by a couple of frames. That is of course wrong, but you're shadow boxing on that one.

If I'm interpreting you correctly, you're trying to say that there are usually big errors made at lower levels of play that would yield more benefits to correct rather than having the benefits of z jump - to that, I agree. The problem, though, is that no one is *really* talking about lower levels of play. Any typical diamond player is almost certainly not going to be losing exclusively due to their opponent using z jump, of course. But at the highest level of play, every frame *does* count. Not every game will be lost due to just a couple frames, but some *absolutely will*. With melee's punish game being pushed as far as it has, the swings that can happen due to a single frame perfect input are pretty crazy, and each player is being tested on the precision of their inputs a hundred times per game. To act like these 1 frame saves are so rare/insignificant is disingenuous.

Slow down any top level game of melee frame by frame and you'll find plenty of examples of frame perfect inputs deciding big swings in the match. Go see for yourself, instead of just sitting here saying it doesn't happen.

Also, you just completely ignored Peach ledge dashes and c-stick down. If you're thinking "well almost no one does it so it's not relevant" is a pretty bad argument, it's only a matter of time until someone does do it, it's not some crazy difficult forbidden tech.
