Welcome to Unist. It's a game balanced around bull**** and it's one of the best fighting games out there.
People think Gordeau is bad? Man they haven't even gotten to like Carmine, who they kept his massive range.
Or Hell Vatista, who kept this move:
(Spoilers, it's a full screen laser. Also fun fact, in Unist the command for this attack is [6]4, meaning you have to hold forward, and then press back to use it. It's a quarter circle now so it's infinitely easier.)
(Also please people check out Unist it's an amazing game I love it to bits. It's a magical experience I can't recommend enough. I don't kid when I say everyone is balanced like this.)
