Its amazing how last game he was arguably the best and is now staring into the endless hell that is low tier

No. She already does sexy damage off of her combos and has plenty of variety. Where she really needs help is with her lackluster normals and ability to build GA meter in tougher matchups (Arakune, Valk, and Tao are nightmares), and a few more things on my personal list......

People will complain either way. Then they'll complain about the other complainers for the sake of complaining.

Best Astral in the game. Even better than the 3 hour feature that is Izayoi's

I just want Izayoi to have notes and Chemical Love mixup/pressure. Please ArcSys?

Extend was about as good as it got in balance, not to say that it didn't have issues, but with the exception of Tager match ups, it was pretty solid. My vote sir, is no. Just hell no. We are about to have 3 or 4 cloned (story wise) characters of the same chick (Noel, Lambda, Nu, and Mu) who isn't even in the game yet (Saya). Logic? Nah +R was pretty balanced. It was AC that had the issues with Testament and Eddie (0 bad matchups? Really?) You are right though, CP isn't insanely imbalanced (ala MvC) but there is more of a defined low tier than there was in Extend for damn sure. HOWEVER A larger cast is not exactly a good thing. We're getting to the point where it is actually getting to be a bit much. More matcups, less overall balance. Tager, Tsubaki, and Makoto somehow got WORSE, and we still have issues with Bullet, Izayoi, Amane, Kagura, etc. It's become much easier to determine who's lower on the totem pole and who's higher, and to me that spells trouble. I'm just saying.

Who needs them when you have homoerotic incest obsession, crossdessing, and perverted medical professionals?

More characters = more balance strain

Not before Jubei. Believe it.

Rage mail is most amusing when the person sending it can't spell

There's a difference of difficulty of combos and difficulty of neutral/character control (Makoto is a prime example of this)

Kokonoe, Hakumen and Mu. Litchi would probably be perfect, but she requires setplay and difficult combos.

I knew you weren't, but I'm bored so hey

Oh yeah? Well....well. Shows what I know about story mode. And Carl and Noel slipped my mind.

Relius and Hazama say hello. If story mode was the case, then Tao and a few others are in the wrong tier.

I see your point, but then I look at Terumi, Kokonoe, Bullet, etc and one starts to wonder...

Yeah, they weren't difficult in CSE really, it's just that delay made it a bit wonky at times. I just don't understand what the devs see about Makoto (and Tsubaki for that matter as well) that gives them the indication that they would be somehow too good if they got buffed.

Maybe they improved it, because I haven't touched her since CSE, but it's always been inconsistent to me. That and I never took her serious anyway.

This And its sad about Makoto. I'd use her if she was just a bit better and her drive wasn't so dependant on connection.

Possibly cutting down on corner carry. Hell, they`re cutting down everything else

They got rid of the nerf bat a long time ago. They've upgraded to the nerf minigun.

Welcome to the salty universe of online fighting games

If you played Vega and Spencer, I'd suggest Tao, as she has high mobility and fantastic air to air priority.
