Big_Krik posted...Look at the Sackboy nerf--reduction in AP gain and increase in AP costs--and now look at the Raiden nerf (only fixes an exploit), Drake nerf (only fixes an exploit), and Kratos nerf (nerfs his worst move).
And they also have the audacity to say that Heihachi and Dante need a buff over Jak and Sir Dan!?!
While I agree with you on the fact that Jak and Sir Dan need buffs and that nerfs to Kratos
and Raiden are also necessary, I disagree with you on pretty much everything else.
Sackboy needed a nerf, because his camping game was way too strong, even compared to Radec's
Dante could do well with some balancing, because his offensive game is pretty weak due to most of his moves being unsafe on block/whiff (Though recent dante tech has helped to amend this) and this game mostly relies on your character having a strong offensive game, making him less viable then most of the characters so far considered top tier.
I can't say much for heihachi, but I might also agree with you, as I've played a little bit with him and I feel his is in an Ok spot
Also I do not think that Drake is as much of a problem as the obvious trio (Sly/Raiden/Kratos), and I think he is mostly balanced besides the obvious ridiculously safe and difficult to punish run-n-gun loop that they just removed, although some further balancing wouldn't be too bad, I still think he is fine where he is
The fact that you also completely neglected the fact that there were no nerfs to sly (Considered Overpowered by a large margin of the community and also a cartoony character) makes your BS conspiracy theory that Superbot for some reason does not like cartoony characters unfounded
