REO showed me your tweet. Why the sudden change of opinion? I saw your series versus Theo and I thought you did very well.
No it wasnt versus Theo that changed my mind at all, its just playing a lot of these buffed characters that literally got buffs for no reasons and are just making matchups harder, like scarecrow and firestorm, Darkseid might lose to swampy now, etc. I guess it finally dawned on me that it just takes so much work to play darkseid at a high level, to even get a mix with darkseid is annoying, bc first i have to read if they are going to jump, or not, the possibility of pushblock, then i have to actually mix them, then after i do that I have to read an air tech, and then i can get my dami. MAny of the other mixers dont have to deal with that, like flash, canary, etc and other chars are usually plus or have meterless options even someone does air tech. Also Darkseid has basically only 1 real viable demon, which is the green one. Explodey guy is good sometimes but even than there is really no reason to use it that often, blue trait might as well not exist as it isnt even a real mid, it might be busted if it was i guess but they could change it so darkseid has 3 good demons instead of 1. obviously he is footsies are bad and his neutral is alright with lasers and tele, but once certain characters get in its just hard for darkseid. Also what really annoyed me was better characters than darkseid that got retard buffs, like scarecrow lol which got his weakness buffed, now i cant throw out lasers, granted i can bait but its just a dumb mind game. Firestorm was already really good and got dumb buffs, i just feel like if Darkseid is going to keep staying the same and everyone else is gonna get buffed he is just going to keep getting worse, etc. Nrs needs to either make f2 a mid, or make more than one trait viable.
