Not much to care for, really, cuz you ought to expect what new mechanics will bring to table in every single sequel to a fighting game. We're going to play the game, get salted by game mechanic exploits and bugs, then the feedback will reach the developers to merit a patch. Sounds pessimistic, but that's all there is to it.
Though I agree the Brave Edges seem to be a little light on damage and CE's ought to be decreased in damage. As for the "baitfest" bit, that's typical for some fighting games.
