The problem is say during a tournament or a money match, in the very first match where none of the players have played each other you will literally have no idea what your opponent is using. He can have his entire team all dressed up exactly the same, with very confusing names (ie naming all of his chars "fighter 1", "fighter 2" etc) then hit you with things you won't see coming until it's too late.

Think of it like a chess match where your opponent refuses to tell you his pawns across the board are actually queens, rooks, or whatever they are supposed to be. So you walk your king into a death trap then he shouts "checkmate!". The match ceases to be skill-based and becomes luck-based because you cannot react to the position of his pieces properly anymore.
