Yup getting rid of the character that's used to extend juggles early on allows for more strategy. Or adjusting the match up for your point character.
That's good for when I don't want Kasumi in a match and I just force her partner in (knowing most people it'll probably be Christie or Sarah which would just make the burst a waste anyway), better if I can get rid of Sarah early on, but at least it assures me that yeah, I do have a chance to change the dynamics of the match.
But I'm still certain that if you don't give a solo character (someone without a partner) a tag burst, they're in a position where the probability of making a come back is very slim and considering how much tag dynamics have changed and you can't even slow escape any more, you're kind of screwed for that round, unless you're superman.
