Man guys, you're not thinking old school enough. Back in the original Guilty Gear, Sol's Dragon Install was the best tension move. And he was the only character with two tension moves. It totally made all of his VVs into level 3 VV, which did about as much block damage as a normal VV would do, and if the CPU didn't block it, it did obscene damage anyway.
Of course, there's a reason that Sol was the only character to play in that game.
AC totally should've brought back Justice and her old version of Bigass McLaser. Almost no startup time. I hope you're already perfect blocking!
