If melee is balanced than so is Injustice 1.
Railgun wasn't as powerful as it was in Quake 2. Namely, hitbox size was noticeably reduced (so now you have to be very precise), and it takes a bit longer to fire again which means missing a shot in close quarters can be guaranteed death.
Idk if you're being serious but I second this. Aside from two outlier characters, everyone in the game is completely viable and balanced.Soul Calibur V
Yea but we can't ignore those outliers when they are the likes of Viola. If we're trying to say "what is the most balanced game" Pyrrah, Viola and Alpha Pat existing doesn't help its argument. And when you have the OTHER end of the spectrum being ZWEI who was just a complete garbage can of a character (Irony being a man named Toilet played him, which is exactly what that character was) i don't think we can put SCV as the most balanced. Fun as fuck game though, #NightmareBoys #GiveUsSCVI
Melee only has 4-5 characters that could win a tournament solo with top competition. Not to mention over half the cast is unviable at a tournament level. It is the farthest thing from balanced.
Which ones? As far as I know thereas a pool of dominant characters and instabans in every patch
There usually are 2-4 top tier ban worthy heroes but in competitive dota the way the picks/bans work out it usually ends up fine. I'm talking more about patches where all the laneing formats were viable instead of how in some patches it's every team deathballs or everyone runs 2-1-1 jungle, or 2-2-1 etc. honestly hard to remember exact patches but I do remember significant stretches where variety was way higher than on average.
Well in dota a ban is quite often not used for balance but to make it harder for the enemy team to use their strategy. You take turns picking and banning so you both see what you're trying to do and adjust on the fly. The bans are in most cases used to stop high level specialty players from getting their best characters, to get rid of your planned teams best counter picks, or stop the enemy team from getting strong synergys. It's rare for there to be a hero you would ban simply because it's busted(happens but it's not common).

Sooooooooo sf1. Like I said lol.Pong boyz
Seriously, can a videogame be more balanced than that? Same exact set of rules for both players. Only thing that matters is skill, there are no choices or additional tools that help you to win. Obvioulsy it's not the hypest thing in the world xD
A comparison with fighting games would be any fg where you could only select one character.
Is it balanced If p1 has the hit advantage?
I mean it's not perfectly balanced but it's the most balanced a fighting game has been.
