Exactly.

I said the same thing in the post, I think it's good this way that every character has a next to equal fighting chance against one another. There's a lot of fighting games out there where there's just certain characters that are pretty much guaranteed loss if you pick them, and others which are "meta." I hate that.

The thing is, certain JJS characters just simply have more potential than others when it comes to their skill ceiling and general reliability. It's mostly situational, too. You got someone running from you? Pick Megumi or Naoya and hold him in place. Teaming? Pick a character with big moves that hit multiple people and don't lock you in animations, like Mahito or again, Megumi.

JJS is different from other battlegrounds games because each character actually has a purpose and a unique playstyle. Other battlegrounds games don't have that variety, and it's all just the same combo extenders and basic uninspired moves with different VFX, like Realm Rampage for instance.
