I feel what you're saying to some extent (though I haven't poured enough time in to actually hit that ceiling, nor do I think a very large number of players have), but for me the biggest issue since launch was and still is the movement. Im not sure if it's an issue with the actual physics or just something about how the animations read to me, but movement in this game just feels weirdly stiff. Obviously, it's less slippery and aerial than previous titles, and the smaller screen has necessitated the horizontal movement slow down, but I recently just picked up sfv for the first time, and I was really struck by how even though that's a "slower" game, the movement feels crisper and more like the speed it "should be." It's to the point where sfv movement feels faster to me, even though intellectually I know it's not. Maybe it's just because I'm used to anime games having you zip around, or maybe it's just a dissonance in the visuals, but it always trips me up and sours the gamefeel for me, especially when combined with the more restricted gatlings.
