The original cast I didn't even play? First of all lol. They flaunted Robo-ky in my face AND Zappa. Guess who I use to play :B (Yes. I use to play the previous installments too)
And yeah. I use to play the Yo Yo trap too. "Wow, I'm getting oversimplified characters and hapy with my life". I don't care about Johnny. Don't care about Jam. Cared about Dizzy, but what did THAT take? So lick my ass. OH and PS. Even the Japanese players think Raven is an insult to their intelligence. But who do they bring back? Baiken. Have you noticed they've been skipping all the sophisticated characters? Since when was Baiken ever hard? Jam? Johnny I could possibly admit to. Even then, he didn't have to risk getting hit because of overuse through his steam gauge and set up mats to help increase his potential damage.
Characters I used: Faust at first (cause of original cast), Anji Mito, Dizzy (THE ONLY ONE THAT EVER came back. Even then, I'm insulted that it took votes to make it happen), Order Sol, Robo Ky (I used him frequently enough), Zappa, Bridget. So, out of all the cast members I have listed you little arrogant fuck, which came back besides the ones that are easier to use? You're basically just saying "The majority rules so it good". That's pretty much what I'm hearing from you. "Majority rules. They want oversimplified characters? THEY GET!"
Just because the majority agrees that there should be more characters designed so they can "actually play the game" instead of learning it, doesn't make it positive. What a WASTE of a design some of these new characters are. And honestly? They are SOOOOOOOOOOOO simple and most often times, boring.
