My scene has the most complete meta in terms of top tier representatives. But we're lacking in the weird ass characters. I can see aqua being 5-5 even though he can punish every dash with d1 from the deep for 40% or just d1 trident rush if you don't want to risk the ftd, not to mention he gets awesome damage for anti airing, and Bane has to come to him. The only time I see bane giving Aqua trouble is on his wake up.
Hawkgirl can go through pretty much everything with wing evade 3 and you have to take risks to hit her out of it. Not to mention any time I have bar I get free mace charge pressure because if you're doing something when I mb it I'll go through you, and if I hit you at any point when you're in debuff, specially in the corner, Gandhi help you. Not to mention you can't do double punch into double punch because I can wing evade 2 on reaction and punish you for 30%, even though that's kind of difficult to do, you can't count it out.
I still think he gets bodied by Nightwing as well. You can't really ignore wingdings and his tripple hitting string that I forgot the input for.
Odd, last I heard Bane was a "top tier" character. Also last I heard, you guys thought Grundy was 21 spaces above Bane. I forget, are you guys ATL or West Coast?
Do you guys even have a Bane player? Because from what I've seen, these "weird ass characters" are the ones flooding the top 8 while leaving a pile of "top tier" corpses behind them. Having a "complete meta of top tiers" means less and less these days when the real threats are those you aren't playing against. So I'll say it again...
You guys have an incomplete meta. If you lack strong representation from those characters who are placing well, that's called having an incomplete meta.
Aquaman is a 5-5 because his trait loses relevance, Bane has faster pokes and can get that knockdown pretty convincingly. The wake-up is the worst part for Aqua, but its not the only part. Still, he gets his damage where it counts and we do have to do timing so its a 5-5. We have our assets, he has his.
Hawkgirl has no wake-ups, pretty much everything is single-hit, and her main benefit is flying to the top of the screen and throwing maces. Also DP -> DP usually isn't the thing, its d.1xxDP -> d.1xxDP or d.1xxDP -> d.2xxBP/DP. She has us on zoning, but she suffers just as much as the next guy on wake-up and she doesn't have very much to contest us. The new MB VU buff also helps pluck her out of the sky.
Nightwing is a 5-5 also because we can actually block. Like we block wingdings and input a punish and he can't do much about it.
