Even though this sounds good on paper, all lefthanded characters will be incredibly OP and lame, until it becomes mainstream, everyone gets used to it and the right/left handed populations are about the same size.

If it really was to be done I'd say only allow it on 100% new characters and maybe in case of a full respec (the auction thing). Once per gen is too much IMO.
IMO don't make it a right/left handed thing if it should be added it should be an alternative mode, like pressing X and then changing from left to right with a tiny delay.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

bad idea, would make it really really awkward fighting people. For example, if you had a greatsword and held it in the left stand or the right stance it'd be very very difficult to see which was the dominant side, and thus whether the left or the right swing would be faster.

really not a good idea.

Once a gen flip, like gender. No fighter is going to go ambi with a bow, sword and shield, or 2h. It doesn't make sense. Also flipping back and forth means left hand is nerfed. I say keep them even so the game is fair for lefty and righty.
