I say that about ayane everyday, just spin away and hit with some tracking moves. You can crush her pretty well with ayane, and most people don't really know what tracks with her just abuse the linearity of their strings for now until they get better.
She is indeed new, but Marie seemed really mashy-friendly for a defensive character. She's annoyed me tonight relatively more than Mila, Momiji or Rachel did in their Week 1's. (Rig is still just as annoying online however).
