Character hate in competitive play? An analysis

Overview Reviews (1)

What is it that makes a character hated in competitive play? Is it simply being overpowered, having unlikeable mechanics, unlikeable aesthetic?

I've seen a ton of discussion and mainly "hate" directed towards Bayonetta and wanted to bring some perspective about hate of overpowered characters in fighting games in general.

I hope you find it interesting, please like and subscribe if you enjoy this kind of content from me!

Thanks for the "How to Fight Bayo Slightly More Easily" guide.

I never gave much of this besides difficulty of a character any though, and l'm sure a lot of others are the same. l like it, but l'm honestly not sure if this can be called a "guide". Literally my only complaint.
