Bidou was brought into the spotlight by [[My Smash Corner]] from a [https://youtu.be/avr9CQlSqRI video] previously uploaded by a Japanese smasher. My Smash Corner claimed that Bidou had the potential to affect the [[metagame]], assuming players could master its capabilities. Bidou is a unique method of playing ''Smash'', since it requires a dedicated control scheme, and involves holding down buttons for extended periods of time, an input that is otherwise unheard of in ''Smash''. It is currently unpopular in terms of usage among most players attending tournaments, due to the difficulty and dedication in having to adapt to the unique control scheme, particularly for ''Smash'' veterans who have played with relatively unchanged controls for years. Nevertheless, it has gained some attention, due to hosting a variety of unique advantages compared to regular control schemes, and a number of players have been known to use Bidou in tournaments, such as {{Sm|ESAM}} when he plays {{SSB4|Pikachu}}. | Bidou was brought into the spotlight by [[My Smash Corner]] from a [https://youtu.be/avr9CQlSqRI video] previously uploaded by a Japanese smasher.

==Tournament legality== | |||
Officially, Bidou is not banned, and all tournaments allow players to customise their controls before a set starts. Bidou, however, derives most of its benefits from use of either the Wii U Pro Controller, the Wii U GamePad, or the Classic Controller, and all three controllers are generally banned in large tournaments for a number of reasons; the Wii U GamePad's inability to be transferred from console to console prevents two players who prefer the GamePad from playing, and both the Wii U Pro Controller and Classic Controller require syncing and unsyncing from the Wii U console, potentially leading to time constraints and other logistic issues at large tournaments. | |||
==Utility== | |||
Ultimately, despite being hailed the future of Smash, no one has ever won a tournament using a Bidou control scheme and thousands of people have destroyed their wrists trying to use it for no real gain. It was a complete and utter waste of time. | |||
