I said the rules are taken too literal because most people often look at the rules and focus primarily on what the rule says when instead they should look at the rules and focus on what qualifies when it comes to that specific rule, which is what this scenario is as this issue is a rather simple

Battles that posses an Alternate Form of a combatant should simply be treated as that character, as they are not transformations like Evil Ryu for example as they are either a different version of that character like Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker, two different characters in terms of ability and personality HOWEVER they are the SAME person and people use Anakin in battles as he is technically different from Darth Vader however he’s not different enough to warrant his own however he instead has a section on Darth Vader’s Page for his info and his battles which are countered towards Darth Vader as they are the same person.

The same is done for link as people usually prefer to use his Young, Toon, or CDI-I T as while they are all Link technically but they all posses different weaponry, abilities, and personalities from each other so all of them are simply recorded on Link’s Page and the battles with those specific versions are recorded

Numerous Users have used characters like Susanoo, Anakin Skywalker, Oni, and the links because while they are the same characters, they posses completely different abilities, personality, and weaponry from their normal forms making them completely different when compared to forms like Super Sayian, Kaioken, Super Shadow/Sonic/Silver, and numerous other transformations.

BatMario explains it best and as I said above, the Rules are taken too literally as some users focus too much primarily on what the rule says rather than what qualifies for the rule and Such.
