Hadouhaircut…!

@...Puulaahi: Well Ryu
has certainly always been much more well rounded, but I always liked playing Ken… He seemed to have more power to me….

@...Puulaahi: Akuma was always pretty evil, (and also really cheap against the comp) but I never actually learned to play him particularly well… I’ve always been more of a Ken/Ryu kind of guy…

@...RSIxidor: In SFII I used to play Ken predominantly. I could beat the game with any character, but I could do it with Ken using only just a his heavy kick button for most of the game.

Personally I thought the HD Remix maybe over balanced the characters, but it was still not all that bad. In the later versions, they specialized the weaknesses and strengths of each character so much in the name of “Balanced but varied” play that some of them did became really useless unless you relearned how to play them altogether.

@...Dreth: I guess it’s my really bad way of saying they rebalanced the characters in such a way that they are all balanced as a whole, but each characters abilities are so overweighted that, in reality, as individual players, some ended up being unplayable against certain others…

Yes, convoluted, I know, but I don’t know how else to describe it. Balance wrt video game characters is such a subjective term…
