My pussy, my rules
For what it's worth, I agree with you. Varying levels of execution breed excitement and opportunities for all players.Execution barriers are in every fighting game. Some characters will be harder to play, that's just the way it is. The only issue is that many of these higher execution characters pale in comparison to the easier top tier characters even when played optimally. But there are many FGs where there are high execution characters and it is super hype to watch someone put in the work and consistently hit those tight links.
My is issue is that, as you said, there's a disconnect between how hard a character is to play and how viable they are at the highest level. You put in the time and effort with a high-execution character, you should reap the rewards.
But do we see that happening? Or are there a million Bladams and Aquamans running around cleaning up shop?
