All this mass hysteria over Virtua Fighter characters? And even going so far as to declare them OP?
Before I go on a rant here and y'all start accusing me of being unrealistic, stupid, or whatever, understand that I'm aware of the potential they have to be considered top-tier in its current state, and I'm in no way denying the matches will be tough on paper. But I played a character who once had the weakest dad-gummed damage output (both in attacks and throws) and hardly any viable tools to beat a character who was considered OP (or top-tier, at least), and folks said I wouldn't make it past the first round at DID7. If a guy like me with confidence issues can work around that, there's something to be said about you guys crying foul before the game is even out... or in this case, "OP".
There is always a way around. It may take some hard work finding undiscovered tech and plenty of respect for the matchup, but when you really set your mind to it, it's possible to win. So what if the chances are low? At least it ain't zero. So if you wanna be the guy to take that small chance and turn heads, be that shit. Don't be so eager to be discouraged.
