I've been playing Blazblue since CT back a long time ago and I played C2,CS2 and CS:E, though I've been patiently waiting for CP with some unfortunate disappointments.
I have this weird compulsion with fighting games where I immediately play the top-tier characters, something just repulses me about spending a lot of time into a character that won't really go that far. Even when I hear how balanced a fighting game is, it just seems like I have this mindset where the characters I play are either inferior or superior to other characters in fighting games.
Anyway, when I saw Izayoi revealed in November 2012 I was absolutely ecstatic, I flipped my shit, so fucking excited. I watched as many videos as I could to see her attacks and abilities and I was just so like, absorbed into that character. So naturally when I saw the tier lists that I could actually find for the game, seeing Izayoi bottom tier hurt a lot. I never understood why, and more importantly, I was worried playing her would just be a waste of time and that I'd just lose a majority of my games as a result of her deficiencies.
Can someone please help me understand whether she is "bad" or "good?" Because I see various discussions saying that people don't understand how to use her just yet, or that she actually has a lot potential: I just wanted to find people who could answer this question because it's bothers me a lot to think my favourite character would be so low on the tier list. Thanks for reading and shit.
