My points:
#1 Batgirl has a meterless vortex , vs 80% of the cast safe , you don't get punished for the 50 50 on block with full grown man combos , damage in the high 30+ , great wall carry where her reward gets BIFU Insaynne levels.
#2 With most characters the "guessing game" after blocking her safe stuff like b12 limits to usually a d1 ( some d1xxSpecial ) check , anything riskier than that might get jumped / backdashed or shoryuken MB into vortex / damage .
#3 Cartwheel is a good wakeup attack ( sorry that MMH is among the best characters at stuffing wakeups ) , not easy to stuff and w her multiple wakeup options as flying bat , bat evade and teleport , you gotta respect her on wakeup and bait stuff a lot wich means pressure on her WU is made of reads , most setups vs her wakeups lose to one of the multiple options she has.
#4 Cartwheel being punishable is ok , but you guys don't mention that you have to block the 2nd hit crouching or the high version will jail , the overhead option if blocked this way has more pushback and some characters lose their big damage punishes ( i know deathstroke does ) , the low is a lot safer that you guys sell and this way of blocking to punish the high and the oh version open you up to the low , if you do the backdash you don't get nothing to punish the high version or the low one but you get no pushback from the oh version ( more punishable ) , also cartwheel range is pretty good , it also catches people trying to jump out a lot / backdashing , it's multihitting.
#5 How is your character damage "low" when you get a free 50/50 after doing over 25 , sometimes over 30+ , with great wallcarry if you go for damage ( how is 40% low damage? ) , when she gets to the corner 40+ , 50+ damage for one bar? Interactable setups she can get in good stages.
#6 Teleport that controls interactables , disappear from the screen , fairly fast and can be done on reaction on a good amount of stuff, it's negative on block cry me a river , you deserve it , but what about the whiff recovery? It's way harder to punish on whiff.
#7 6 frame uppercut , basically a launcher with meter into vortex , while risky the reward is good, hitbox ain't bad it's FAST.
#8 good forward dash and backdash , good jump normals , you guys don't talk about the active frames of j2 and the hitbox wich is hard to AA with a good bunch of characters , that can open up j3 when they start respecting j2 , also poking out of j2 into 50/50 timing changes on how deep the j2 hit and if she goes for a safe fast string you get interrupted and possibly launched , if you don't have a very good backdash b1u2 can hit your backdash mid animation , b2u3 on whiff is just a b2 wich doesn't have punishable recovery so you're safe.
Her footsies are subpar but her aircontrol isn't bad , her best footsie tool is a 14 frame safe low launcher with decent reach , cartwheel has good range but it may be punished , her dashes aren't as fast recovering as say flash but they're decent.
What most are "salty" about is probably the less amount of strategy work she has to do compared to other characters , her combos can lead to good damage or safe 50/50 vortex while the other characters must find setups to beat this kind of wakeup or learning to stuff this other wakeup , a safejump , a fake crossup / crossup that might beat this option or that other option , to Batgirl the best setup is just going for a meterless bola and she doesn't have to deal w any kind of wakeup scenario , her knockdown oki isn't as safe as bola is.
Because her random air control factor ( yolo teleport ) she can get comebacks , upclose j2 will condition you to not jump to a2a her , she could also cancel her jump into a teleport for maximum YOLO , Bola fullscreen trades favourly vs a good bunch of characters , it's very + on block at long ranges , after Redemption on block she's +1 and there's a YOLO mindgame there too w 6 frame shoryuken if you think you can always safely poke her out , you can't take that for granted.
She's not broken , she's a high random factor w good reward character , her footsies are definately weaker than others but her snowball effect is huge at mid and even high level , you have to play perfect vs her or a mistake could cost you a match suddently and that's why she gets kinda "hated" by high level players , she is pretty dumb but has her fair share of even MUs and a couple bad matchups.
