I really do not have an elitist attitude.

My leon/mila is only "gimped" if not doing guaranteed cycles puts me at some kind of a clear disadvantage, which it doesn't.

Yes, it does. If you're not capitalizing on max damage when you see a guaranteed punish situation, then yes, you are hindering yourself with a disadvantage.

I can do the same ground'n'pound game with both, in nearly the same patterns with nearly the same attacks (though I really wish leon could do it from SS as well). You can't honestly say "You can't play them the same" when I literally can, and constantly do. Mila having a 12 frame mid doesn't change that.

Having a 12f mid does change that, I can say that, they have very few attacks that are the same (none, technically, but we'll go with "similar"), so if those are the only ones who are using, then you are a victim of the spamming you claim to hate. If you're branching out a lot and using their unique moves, then you must be playing differently with them. No other option.

Brute, I'm sorry, but I hate when people try to say that a character is played "wrong" or "gimped" when neither is applicable. [...]
These are two characters that I can enjoy using efficiently without having to juggle or use guaranteed loops and whatnot, and that's a big part of why I love them so much, as that's a factor when I pick a character in any fighting game, and why I favor power characters. The fact that they can be played in a strikingly similar style is icing on the cake, making it really easy to transition between them.

You're not using them the way they're designed to be played though. By that logic you can play every character in the same style if you just avoid using juggles and loops (obviously they still function WAY fucking different even in absence of those things, just like Mila and Leon, but you don't seem to acknowledge that, so moving on). But no one does that and doing so would, yes, be playing the characters "wrong" and would be gimping their potential.
PS: Your "Mila can be played any way you want" is not true.

Argentus said:
The basis of my fighting style is I like my damage raw. No setups, no guaranteed juggles, just learn the timing of my attacks and deal it directly. It's riskier, but I believe teaches better fighting skills, and is certainly more rewarding for me to just wreck an opponent, knowing I didn't have to use any "free" or "guaranteed" damage. That's why I play how I do. and i've made it work for me. I've found few others who can match me in my playstyle, and I mean that across multiple fighting games, not just DOA.

No damage is free. The point of those set-ups is for higher risk, higher reward. Think of a juggle as a single attack that does a lot of damage, but is riskier to get access to because of delaying the stun threshold, learning the execution of the juggle, accounting for environment, using a launch that won't be held, etc.

Not using juggles is stupid and no, it does not teach you better fighting skills. Exactly the opposite. It teaches you horrible fighting skills. And I guarantee you utilize guaranteed damage. If you ever blocked an opponent's attack at -14 or more and then followed it up with a poke or throw, guess what? GUARANTEED DAMAGE. That's what that is. It's less damage than you'd get from an optimal punish like a launch or heavy 12f throw, sure. But that's just you gimping your damage. You're still getting guaranteed damage.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about the DLC. Some of them have lots of detail, others are kinda plain. Also, for anyone who plays Rachel, she is now officially a Glamazon lol
