Fusions NOT Barred from Tournament?

[Asura]

I doubt we'll ever see fusion (aside from Gotenks) ever again. The incredibly stupid decision to retcon Vegito to a 1hr time limit, and then a 5 minute time limit once he turned Blue, has effectively made him completely useless.

If they were to ever make Gogeta canon in Super, I bet the same thing would happen.

Considering the rule of "who has got most fighters left when time runs out wins", making two characters become one without the ability to de-fuse at will is a risk. You may arrive at the end of the time with one less fighter due to the fusion having not ended yet!

They can willingly defuse by using up all their power.

... remaining almost defenseless after that. After Vegetto de-fused, Goku and Vegeta weren't even able to go Blue. The same would probably also apply to Gogeta...

That doesn't matter, they're only going to do it at the end when the fighting's over.

You can't affordably plan to do that at the very last second, because you risk to get the result too late. Even a second too late would still be too late... so you should consume all of your energy a few minutes before that, to do not risk to go overtime... but with the risk of passing the last few minutes defenseless.

And think about the possibility that you are defending yourself in melee (close) combat... if you don't have time to charge and release a super attack, you cannot deplete all of your energy in time!
