Controversies

• Competitive records change with formats, eras, fields, and available evidence; inclusion is editorial, not a universal ranking.
• Eracii separates documented achievement from endorsement and treats game ratings as mechanics rather than personal worth.

Card Notes

• Ratings are bounded Eracii mechanics, not objective measures of personal worth or an all-time ranking.
• Core arena read: street fighter and tournament nerve.
• Commercial printing requires a separate name, likeness, and artwork clearance review.
