Yet this stuff can easily be gotten around with an understanding of how the matchup works. You can easily jump the bombs and punish them with moves like Patroklos 9K or any quick attack with tech jump properties, and "teleport" can be caught with anything depending on the direction she's coming at you. People using her quick attacks are those playing a poke game with Natsu and that's where you need to look for ways to escape it and not get caught into a situation like that again.
To me, not really.
I'm not saying she can't be countered, I'm just saying she's very easy to play.
Some of them are different enough to potentially come back, but I don’t see how you can bring back the majority of the newcomers without completely redoing their weapons, or as anything other than a skin.
Who said they were bringing all of them back?
I don’t see how you can pick and choose the newcomers, especially with V connecting a lot of them together. Leixia and Natsu and Xiba had their arc, and they connected to Patroklos and Pyrrha.
Yeah, it's perfectly possible to pick and choose newcomers. Plenty of other fighting games do that. Besides, while some were introduced to the series with SCV, many more were introduced with past games, so it's not that big a deal. With Kilik reverting back to the staff, that already implies to me that Xiba is out, and frankly I don't think very many people would mind.
The Taki/Natsu style has always been pretty accessible in Calibur. Dunno why you’re making such a big fuss about her being a common character online.
I like to embrace the goofiness and absurdity in games like these. In SC4 you could instantly create a completely randomized CAS from the selection screen. These were almost always hilarious looking, with ridiculous pink afros and huge men with high pitched voices. I hope SC6 brings back that feature, since people can always choose not to use it if they want to be more serious.
I'm pointing out that people mistakenly used her online use as proof that audiences like her, when really it's how ridiculously easy she is to play and win against less-experienced players.
