This is a venting thread mostly, so feel free to either ignore it, share in my disgust, or enlighten me on how the hell people still think that even when nerfed to hell and back, they think Bayonetta or Sheik in Ultimate are high tier characters?
I keep hearing this sentiment that "oh it doesn't matter how much they are nerfed, because their movesets kinda make it so they can never be bad".
Do these people know how balancing works. You literally just need to make it so all of their hits have so little hitstun that they are even on hit, or just 2 frames unsafe on hit and that would be enough. It's not a big change. That would make literally any character immediate trash tier.
Oh, but not the scary top tiers of the last game, because their movesets are apparently all perfect and nerf proof and the absolute best design there has ever been to the point where changing it means you actually change nothing.
I'm venting now again because Bayo and Sheik, two super nerfed characters who were top tiers in the last game, are still seen as some super high tier characters when that has been demonstrably not the case as shown in the past few tournaments this month. In an extreme case, this also means they never get buffs they actually deserve. Why do people like Zero perpetuate this stupid myth that somehow characters can't be bad no matter how much they are nerfed?
