Iv been playing her since I started playing doa5. Never switched to another character.
So when you say she is not gimmicky I kinda think it is you who doesn't play her often lol. Her strings are very repetitive.
You mean the Minuet? If she didn't have that she wouldn't have anything going for her lol.
But then again, a nerf to that to buff her in other spots would make her less gimmicky.
I have seen MR forum actually. Some argued the exact same thing I am saying now. The lack of safety was a big one.
I have also played with S/U+ ranks online as well. Even they agreed they she could use tweaks.
