The Bidou Tech - Thoughts and Concerns

Many of you have heard of this tech, for those who haven't the best way for me to explain it is for you to watch this video made from My Smash Corner. It is essentially a really advanced and confusing way to perform perfectly timed attacks and do things you couldn't normally do with a traditional button layout. This tech looks scary, as it has a ton of unique options it opens up for tons of characters. If someone is able to bring this to a competitive scene, the movement options someone has increases exponentially. No person not using this could compete. If they are able to always be frame perfect, they are going to be insane. The approach options that this allows are even more insane. Just the possibilities that are given by this tech is just going to completely alter the game if someone performs them.

But no one will.

This is a completely hypothetical tech. No human is going to be able to be frame perfectly continue to perform this tech. It is simply unrealistic to assume someone is going to be able to do this. The controls would probably have destroyed your fingers by time you are able to perform these techs reliably. The controls are awkward and not going to just take a little time to get use to. It is a very radical change to go from the normal controls and way you hold your hand to how you would need to in order to perform the Bidou tech. Now, some of these things have potential of being implemented into the top tier players' game play, but most of what was shown isn't practical.

I may sound pessimistic, but the human mind can't do all of the things that are required in order to perform this tech. I really wish it was something simple such as wave dashing that could still alter the game, but our tech is just too hard to be conceivable to pull off in tournaments reliably, especially if you plan on playing for years.
