Yet, there it is. And it seems plenty unique, among and beyond existing melee.

In that regard, BLU is no different. It is a concept which, with due thought (instead of mere toss-ins to guise a grind loop), absolutely could be permitted all real content without losing what makes it unique. BST, too, is no different. Full access does not demand loss of former mainstay components of identity, and identity does not demand a half-assed playflow. Former and unique systems of skill acquisition are not mutually exclusive with the ability to actually play current content to the extent that existing jobs can.
