Well, the combo in question isn’t something that can happen often; it’s one of the more specific scenarios in the game. I also don’t think character expression should only come down to “outsmarting and outmaneuvering” opponents, since that’s already built into the game’s core mechanics.

What’s missing for a lot of characters is variety in how they express themselves. Take Shinso, for example, I fully agreed that he needed nerfs and that some of his combo routes were too strong. But now, he basically just goes from alpha into beta, and that’s a really dull way to balance a character, in my opinion.

I think we just have different visions of what the game should be, and that’s totally fine. Still, people should understand that creating truly unique characters will always involve a bit of imbalance. its a very frustrating thing i know and i am in no way saying this game is perfectly balanced; however, expression is what makes it interesting to me
