There nothing wrong w/ the throws in BB. The NP need to go or rework though. I also don't know what you mean about "jumps" in the game. I don't think the game has "horde of bad design" but there are things they need to work on to improve the game overall. As for tiers; Tager & Hakuman have the most problems in the cast but, yes, most of the cast needs a little rework. Some more then others.

※ During the Blazblue prelims, everyone was going crazy whenever an Arakune, Rachel or v-13 lost a round or a fight. Whenever a lower tier character like Carl or Bang started gaining the advantage, the place went nuts too, so far as to ignore the highlighted match on the big screen. Hopefully Arc Systems sees how painful it is to watch the top 3 dominate the game and makes some thoughtful changes. - Versus City
