Kinda surprised no one has brought this up yet and I don't wanna be a conflict starter but discussing this issue rationally could be very important for our community.
I'm not too emotionally invested in this personally because I didn't even buy the character (I enjoy watching her gameplay; I just can't do the whole demon thing - if she summoned Cthulhu or was just an homage to classic movie monsters a la Darkstalkers I'd prob pick her up myself). My main concern is that where do we go from here?
I remember a lot of people crying out against Little Mac because of his supposed "For Glory domination" but that proved to be mostly unwarranted. I somewhat felt the sting as a Mii player being limited to 1111 (though I understand with both this and other customs there are other issues and it's not a perfect one to one comparison). And I remember hearing whispers, most likely in jest, of banning pre-patch Diddy, Sheik and Cloud at different points in the game. But we may have turned a corner here, for better or for worse.
And in answering one question, "Should Bayonetta be banned?", it brings up even more. What about other characters that are "dominating or game breaking"? Who determines what is "game breaking"? Is UCT a good stage for tourneys or will most people not have bought it? Is this a follow up of the difficulties we've dealt with in the Brawl community (with MK and ICs) and what can we do to make sure our community stays strong?
