Eh it all depends on how long it takes.I would prefer the average match be somewhere in the 3-5 minute range (with occasional 1-2 minutes and 6-7 minute matches) like what Melee and Project M do and like what Brawl (with 3 stocks) isn't too far off from. I think that's the ample amount of time for a Smash game.If that means 2 stocks, cool. If that means 3 stocks, cool. I will generally go with the data that says which is which, and my opinion will generally stay consistent on that.There are a few exceptions to that in my opinion though,. The biggest one is the comeback factor. A great is example is Brawl where the person with the 1st KO wins roughly 3/4th's the time in a 3 stock game. People with a 2 stock lead win probably around 99% of the time. I would imagine they are more common than 3 stock leads in Melee, and the wins are about as rare. There's just not many comebacks in Brawl, which is why the 1 stock ruleset makes more sense IMO.If something like this (the Brawl scenario) is the case, then IMO the only reasonable stock count is 1 or 2 stocks.
