    Why on earth would a fighting tournament allow mods? Nevermind cosmetics… it’s just a easy gateway to cheating. Nobody knows what kind of code those mods are executing. Maybe it’s a simple cosmetic mod that has a hidden option to make some move a few frames faster.

    The problem isn’t the mods, but the tournament organizers allowing it in a competitive setting, without any filtration.
