A. I just gave the example with Kano, worst character in the game.
Top 16 isn't winning...
And you miss my point. Any small change to help one matchup will undoubtedly affect other matchups. You are not seeing the picture. Say for example you give Bane one teeny tiny buff to help with Cyborg. Then you get to characters who dont have fullscreen frametraps like green arrow. Now it is easier for bane to get in on GA, when it might have been harder for him to keep bane out in the first place. So now by making cyborg an even matchup, you now made GA have a bad matchup. You cannot have a TRULY balanced game like this because there are very distinct styles of play. Some have great rushdown, others have great zoners. If you make someone a better zoner, then rushdown characters suffer. If you buff rushdown, zoners suffer.
IDK about half the games you mentioned, but the 3D ones have no zoning characters, that's why there are no 7 3 matchups.
+R has more imbalanced match-ups than accent core. Justice is the zoning version of potemkin, so if she plays someone with better zoning then it's instantly a bad match-up. Dizzy/Faust are by far the worst of it at 7:3, but she has lots of 6:4 match-ups too. Slayer got toned down a ton and he's a close range character so his match-up with potemkin is extremely bad now.
If you've been around long at all, you'd know that the most popular games have always been those with characters that range from shit to awesome. This isn't because people are stupid, but rather because they're more fun to watch/play. The new school rails on and on about balance, but balance never created the moments that the FGC remembers. We remember upsets, and watching underdog grapplers (for instance) work their way to the top has always been a solid pastime (well, before O.Hawk became fucking OP in ST, we used to root for him at least lol). But anyhow, I know this seems counter-intuitive if you're a fan of mostly anime and 3D games, because they are generally more balanced than other games. Balance doesn't make a game great though, and the MK series in particular has not ever been known for its balance. If you want to play a shit character, or someone that's generally outclassed by the top and high tiers, then do it! Work your way to the top (and I do mean work), and make people remember your name. Otherwise, calm your tits and play Supes.
Did you intend to list the cast in alphabetical order? Because if not you just blew my mind
Yeah, I get that. Batousai and I just had that conversation before you decided to butt in, and add your random MK point as well. Good job wasting both of our times.
I can agree to that. On a side note, I play Grundy. I've never been good at using hig-tier characters. Don't ask me why, I don't understand either.
...The update to balance the game, made the balance worse, and Potemkin is bad now?!
Meh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're a grappler player primarily, then you'll probably always be a low tier dude. I used to only play fat people too -- outside of Potemkin, O.Hawk, and a few others, we've kind of gotten screwed over, haha. Anyhow, as you know, just play who you enjoy and don't worry about it too much. Grappler players tend to be more patient and willing to deal with bullshit, so you kind of just have to channel that mindset and trudge your way through all of the safe blockstrings, vortex setups, and projectiles that the world has to offer.
no you misread, the update made Slayer at lot worse and Potemkin vs. Slayer is now 7:3 in Potemkin's advantage. Potemkin himself is more or less the same after his changes.
For sure, man. Just add me on XBL. I have to warn you though, I'm not very spectacular yet. My job has been wiping out my lab time, and I haven't even decided on a dedicated main, haha.
