I thinks some of the people are way to charcter biased only one char in doa is op hes getting patched because of it mr jan lee dragon gunner combos.........
I'm pretty new to DOA and lose a lot with Jann Lee yet still main him. I know he's top tier, (rightfully so) but as a beginner, I need to learn timing, adaptation/how to fight everyone and adjust to the counter system itself anyways, so tiers alone don't provide a win. There are other characters I find appealing too, but I just feel most comfortable with him thus far [and he's a pretty hype fellow lol], despite seeing some crazy-good stuff from lots of Hayates, Christies, blahblahblah so as for saying picking him just for tiers...uhhh >.>
In regards to OP - How about Ayane? Mila? Not rly trying to argue, and I know everything matters (including tiers) once it becomes high level play [chun, yun, ken: Top 8 - rather than 12, necro, Q], I'm just sayin.
Plus, consecutive Dragon Gunners take pretty good timing+judgement for blocked hit confirmation/to just read right, and can't simply be thrown out. Almost like saying to fix Hayabusa's teleport or Bayman's ground trip...eye of the beholder I guess.
