Should the stock count be lowered?

No, if anything they might be too easy since you can randomly dp out of them a lot of the time. The reason is that once you get knocked down most good players know where to be completely safe on wakeup and be in a great position footsie wise. Remember how people complained about Sentinel's zoning when MvC2 first came out? Well it's kinda like that, except it's every character.

I don't know MvC2, but I understand what your saying.

But, wouldn't this just mean they have an advantage, not the game? I mean, if you can block the vortex, can't you just back up a bit and play footsies again? Or does that usually result in you getting hit//being in the corner really fast?

Both. Starting out disadvantaged when playing footsies is huge and there isn't much wiggle room before you back yourself into the corner.
