So your point is that since there was only 3 deadshots in top 8 of AB instead of 5, this tournament was a fluke? Could there not be a rising trend of top players picking up Deadshot realizing he's stupidly good? Tekken Master wasn't even at AB either so you can't really compare both tournaments. My point is top players are beginning to pickup deadshot more often, which is a fact. There is also a rising trend of having more Deadshots in each top 8 every tournament. Also a fact.
I avoided your last point because it means nothing. Supergirl wasn't present in this top 8 yet she's top 3. A character being present or not present in a top 8 means nothing. You don't see people suddenly saying Fate is broken because he made top 8. But when a character starts to be picked up by more and more top players, and tends to do better and better in top 8s, there is legitimate cause for concern.
Ok so your point is that just because AB had 3 Deadshots and East Coast had 5 that means that there is a trend of top players picking Deadshot as they're supposedly realize that he's supposedly too strong to not be picked by them to win? I'm sorry and no offense, but this is a false statement. As far as we all know this could be nothing more then an old-fashioned movie-style coincidence. I could take that claim if it was the case for like 3 or 4 tournies in a row, but only 2 tournies? You do realize that if on the next major there are like 3 Deadshots at best, that's pretty much ruins your argument. Not to mention if one of the Deadshot players will actually win the tourney and that's even if they will pick Deadshot in the Top 8 itself and how many times they would use him in comparison to their other chars. I mean, it's all about the number of players who use him at majors, right?
Also speaking of which. I brought up the fact that Batman and Superman, two other top characters, weren't at all in Top 8 in order to point out how IJ2 in general is indeed balanced, and you bring up Supergirl who is supposedly Top 3 maybe she is, not saying she isn't) despite not being in Top 8's that much, but then you claim that just because 3 Deadshots were at AB8's Top 8 and 5 at East Coast that means he's too strong or even worse, that the whole game is unbalanced. So I can't use the facts regarding Top 8's since the game has been released but you're using the facts regarding just the last two Top 8's alone, after which you said that I can't compare between AB8 to East Coast just because Tekken Master wasn't there, yet you do the same thing. How does that work again?
Oh and just to play by your rules, how about the fact that Summer Jam did had 3 Deadshots (and also 2 Supergirls, mind you), but IJ2's Hometown Heroes, an IJ2 exclusive major that took place after Summer Jam, did had some strong players such as DR Gross, yet none of the players used Deadshot even once, but we did see, once again, two Supermen and one Batman?
Just saying.
