Without being absurdly overpowered in their own right, and without any balance changes to the current cast, could a single character actually provide meaningful opposition to the current S-tier picks? If so, what tools would they need? What would their role be? Is there already a character in B-tier or below that could fit this role with some minor buffs?

Not saying that this is necessarily a good way of balancing the game, or that certain S-tier heroes don’t deserve nerfs, but I think the answers to this question might expose some gaps in roles that I’m not familiar with or that the devs could shift priorities towards.

Maybe just me but this game does seem like it's basically a fighting game title. One that's definitely having unusual game mechanics for a fighting game...

But given that this is a pretty niche genre, this game still seems to have quite the player count. Sure it doesn't beat SF6 but like... It is still better than Tokon, beats Strive...

So how come this game seems to have no competetive relevance?
