If I interpreted the "total" for each character correctly, Sagat was never double the second highest character unlike Metaknight.
I completely know that MK isn't his own tier, broken, or bannable, but if everyone complains about him so much, it makes him SOOOO uncomfortable to play. Do you understand the pressure on you to win with this supposedly god character? If anyone loses to an MK, it's because it's MK, but if an MK loses to any other character, they were severely out-played, the MK sucks, or anything like that.
Playing a character who is supposedly in his own god tier is one of the most depressing thoughts I could think of. I think you know what that means.
