Maybe a template that the users just need to fill out? I proposed something like that some months ago, but it never took off^^ Basically, yea.

For a verus thread, i'd say the most critical aspects are:

-participants we have a reasonable amount of knowledge about. E.g. Part 1 orochimaru versus Hiruzen is reasonable, but "prime Hiruzen" is completely unknown.

-a defined amount of preparation. Do these people just run into each other, or have they been preparing to fight all along. Not super-relevant for e.g. Naruto or Kakashi, but super-relevant for e.g. Shikamaru or Nagato.

-Location needn't be specified unless there is a significant impact. E.g. Dojutsu can be hurt or get benefit from forest (sucks for sharingan, great for Byakugan, depends for Rinnegan).

-if a person has multiple forms, specify a form. If this is a hypothetical form, define the hypothetical form. E.g. what is considered a prime itachi?

I see way too many threads with people having full intel, which both screws over people good at gathering intel and can make discussion impossible (some people have tons of jutsu that could counter anything, and it just becomes "A counters B counters C counters D" etc).
