I wish they'd add some kind of a downside to the ninjas to offset them apparently being like 3-5x faster than everyone else (Except maybe Christie), combined with like, teleports, and insane evasive maneuvers. They just seem to be all pros and no cons compared to the rest of the cast.
I'm going to try and say this politely. You are saying the same things that all scrubs say about balance in every DOA game.
Ninja's = Kasumi, Hayate, Hayabusa and Ayane
Fastest Pokes = i9 jab / i11 mid. Average Pokes = i10 jab / i12 mid. Slowish Pokes = i11 jab / i13 mid.
Fastest Character's = Kasumi (i9 / i11), Christie (i9 / i11), Pai (i9 / i11) Gen Fu i10 / i11), Jann Lee (i10 / i11), Zack (i10 / i11), Sarah (i10 / i11).
Other Ninja's = Hayate (i10 / i12), Hayabusa (i10 / i13) and Ayane (i10 / i13).
Best Evasive Character's = Helena, Gen Fu, Brad Wong, Ayane and Tina.
I've been playing DOA for about 12 years ever since the Dreamcast version and I can tell you that everything you said is completely wrong. I'm telling you this from experience, take my advice and bare this in mind next time you decide to make statements like the one you just did.
Is it true that Lisa's and Tina's


s are nerfed in some way?
Why would they nerf Tina's 1K? Unless there is some awesome use for it that I've never noticed.
