For some reason this idea reminds me of the Mugen Event Mode that used to be on Judgespear's forums (which were supposed to be based on Smash Bros Melee & Brawl's Event Mode). I have to agree with the idea, it's a hell of a lot better than the AI vs AI match vids that plague youtube by a mile at least.

i actually find this concept kind of interesting except for the part in which you let people use whatever character they want. the character people use in these challenges should be the same. a level playing field, a better display of skill.

Gonna have to agree with Titiln here. If a character with a certain gameplay style completely outclasses another (like say player controlled MvC/2, GG or MB gameplay versus AI with something like SSF2T gameplay) then thats too big of an advantage and doesn't require as much skill, and you're basically reinventing the boring AI vs AI team tournament vids I mentioned earlier.

However, forcing people to use a specific character in the matches forces them to adapt to the situation and learn, especially if its a character or gameplay that they're not entirely familiar with.
