Looking at Kilik, Xianghua, Sophitia, Cervantes, and to a certain extent, Cassandra and Amy. Mostly the first three are problematic.
I use both Kilik (main) and Xianghua and I find it very cheap whenever I land it, it's even worse on the receiving end. Your opponent has the option to either do a GI or RE just to avoid a chunky LH combo, but if you do a Break Attack they then eat a stronger LH combo from it. The reward is too big and the risk is so small. The Xianghua/Kilik player only risks what, another GI and a RE clash that's another rock paper scissors situation? It's not like these characters are weak af to begin with, that 50/50 mind game is just another incentive to their strengths.
I know in high levels like EVO throwing GIs and REs isn't that common anymore but up to the B ranks? It feels so exploitable. Wins aren't so satisfying tbh when my opponents lose because they kept guessing wrong. At least let the risk be greater for those characters, but I can't think of a solution for it. Or is there actually a workaround to this other than "don't get GI'd"? I thought the introduction of Reverse Impacts would be a proper solution to this but its window is too short and doing it earlier will still result to you eating another Lehal Hit from their break attacks.
Thoughts?
