Very true. We have a lot of GG players in Brazil as well, and I'm not even joking. I'm sure most of us here in Brazil wouldn't want Guilty Gear to go through such changes, but the way I see it, it's really inevitable. However if you ask me, the only feature I wouldn't want they to remove from the game or make it consistently easier are FRCs. Those make shit so good.
However just like Wirya said, we can only pray.
