^Long time no see! (Of course, I've been kind of in the background for a bit myself, but yea...)

Anyway, back on topic: I may get a Wii U at some point, and if MKSC was added as a VC game, I'd be all over it. I could then start streaming my mediocre play (which I don't currently have a way to do) and probably get back into the actual gameplay.

This would be great because I don't particularly like the gba mt controls. Although I'm about $300 away from being able to afford a Wii U lol

Sorry to be a party pooper, but as far as I know the Wii U VC has what's basically a savestate feature. I'm having trouble confirming it online but I believe it has a "restore point" that you can open multiple times before overwriting. The SMK PP has already banned times from the Wii U VC, and I don't see how you could argue that all times from the Wii U VC could be allowed. Maybe only trusted players who have already played on other systems can submit from it? It's still good for casual play anyway so whatever.

The Wii VC had a similar feature called a suspend point. It would create one whenever you went to the home menu and would then load it upon you returning to the game. The big difference is that you can only load a certain suspend point once, so it's more of a pause than a savestate. You couldn't manipulate it unlike the Wii U's restore point feature, which is why only Wii VC times are allowed on the SMK site. I know MKSC isn't available on the Wii VC but I felt like it would be good to differentiate the two. EDIT: You also can't copy suspend points to an SD card to reload them like that.

There's a plethora of reasons why they help players.

You get infinite tries to complete the shortcuts 3/3 instead of actually needing the consistency to complete them on every lap. Any small mistake you make can just be reloaded and corrected until you feel the run is good enough to continue. The "retry" button is obsoleted.

If you meant something else please say so, but to suggest they don't help players is ridiculous.
