Revenant Jade
Jade has no mix ups
Jade has no good mids
Jade has a large hitbox
Jade has only one slow as hell overhead
Jade has no big damage from air to air, midscreen, corner
Jade can be zoned out by Smoke Bombs and Kenshi's zoning
Jade's U3 is a high so everyone goes in free to bully her like Mileena D4
Jade's EX Glow takes 1.5x the damage and does not guarantee combo
Jade has very bad meter building and is meter dependent
Jade's AA B2 was not reliable and is negative on block
Jade's 3 has no range at all
Jade's B1 is super negative can be jumped out of
Jade can not link Staff Overhead with 12, F2, B3, 4
Jade's EX Boomerangs get blown up with invincible wake ups

Jade has a very good D3
Jade probably has the best B4 sweep in the game, advancing low footsie tool -1 on block

Pshh Jade. Some characters have it easy.

Can we talk about how bad Stryker had it tho? Not a single over head besides B2,3 which was easily interruptible and ex baton sweep that was easy to react to. Highest + move was +1, everything else was ass.

-I still believe that at NRS, characters are balanced for casual/online play in addition to high/level competitive play -- not just the high-level play. When you think about it, it explains a lot; why characters like Kano, Sheeva, etc. that have "cheap" moves aren't as good as the rest of the cast. (It also explains why Kabal was left alone, since he wasn't a big deal on a casual level). It's probably why Noob Saibot isn't a dominant character, etc. I think that people often forget that a game that sells 4 million copies is selling mostly to average players who are playing for fun. There's a chance that this has something to do with Jade.

-I also find it interesting how no matter how bad your character is, people will tell you that it's actually good and you should just level up. Usually it's people that haven't extensively played the character in tourney or had to deal with most of the matchups against high-level players. They usually go through a laundry list of everything your character has ("X does decent damage, Y has good range") without talking about how those things are rendered ineffective in matchups.

Character dynamics are interesting.. It just goes to show that you can't trust everyone to make the calls for a multimillion-selling game; or for balance in general. Everyone seems to see things in different ways.
