Set a certain amount of time before a character can be used again by that specific user.

A certain amount of Death Battles have to be completed after a character is used before they can be used by that user again.

Both X amount of time must pass, and Y Death Battles have to be completed before a character can be used by that user again.

If we limit how many times a character can be used per user, I think it could restrict creative freedom. I mean, you could find a really good opponent for a certain character down the line (for this case, let's say 6 months, maybe a game/anime came out with some great charaters). If you've already reached the character limit, you're pretty much screwed. The new character might also be niche, so nobody may make the fight for a very long time.

Not only would users not have to worry about a character limit, but it would also remove the need to worry about a bunch of fights suddenly getting claimed by one user (later down the line, as new characters appear from new games, movies, anime...).

As users continure to write, they'll be able to continue using their favorite characters as much as they want, but they have to do it sparingly. This would also give time for other/new users to get a chance to use that character. When you think about it, some people have been here a long time, and may already be close to that limit, and if they reach it, they're practically screwed unless they make a sockpuppet or something. If it's done using one of my solutions, you can eliminate that problem.

In short, I don't want a user to get screwed over because they hit the character limit. It seems solid, I'll admit, but the process itself seems very complicated, no? This itself can heavily affect adopted pages and many pages in general, because once in effect, it can also screw many people over, some might be working on them right now.

I'd like to hear others' opinions, because this does seem viable but does still have things we need to refine.
