Wait, why is Hitomi considered bad? Or is it that, my VF experience allows me to view characters in a different light and not for arbitrary reasonings. You know technically Jacky has the same issue as Hitomi with, "telegraphed" string routes but he's considered S tier. Since he can function exactly the way he needs to within the triangle system. I believe Hitomi projects this for DoA all the same.
Because a Hitomi player said she was bad in comparison to Ayane, whom is braindead easy to use requiring zero skill or effort to utilize competitively. As for Marie, she's in "You're playing the wrong game" tier.
As an Ayane player, do you really believe that? Since you view game in a different light. I think it's just the meta of the game right now overall. This happens to a lot of characters though in many games.
Ayane is top 5. Hitomi is not. Doesn't mean Hitomi is shit tier.
That honor belongs exclusively to the goth loli everyone forgot about once Nico dropped on to the scene.
Yeah, Ayane is braindead easy to use. Easily Top 5. I smack people with 4P, 3PP, 6PP, and BT3KKK in 1-bars all the time online. No skill at all. Still can't imagine why the top players aren't flocking to her easy ass.
