All I can really say is that, sometimes, effective balance doesn't look how we expect or want it to look. Even if the meter system is based around using 25% moves most of the time, and the 50% ones are less useful, that doesn't mean it's actually bad for the game. I'd even say that, from a move creation standpoint, putting less critical things at 50% makes sense, because a character will have less opportunities to use a 50% move than a 25% move during the match. If you move the most critical or important tools to the top end of the cost spectrum, matches become very swingy based on who has meter, and certain characters become cripples without large amounts of meter that they probably won't have when they need it. By putting it at 25%, you make it so that powerful tools can get used reasonably often, but still have limitations.

If I remember right, you do balance work, so this is probably not a forgiving argument to start

That defeats the purpose of meter, which is to put a limit on powerful options. In other words, the higher cost options should be stronger because they cost higher can be used less times than the lower cost options. This also leads to interesting quandaries and/mind games where you are forced to choose between spending meter now for a lesser option, or saving it for a better option - that's basic meter management in a nutshell. Make the 25% option better and you ruin that since there's now almost no reason to go for the 50% option. This also leads to interesting mind games where a player can try to force their opponent to use their meter at the wrong times to limit their options.

When you are shown some d-bag for well over a decade, you kinda just want to know who the hell he is lol

We've only had 2 images of the dude in all this time and don't know jack about him, barely even see him... I mean crap, at least Raven was an NPC for the longest...
