I think that DBZ characters (and other bad characters) should be removed before removing OP characters like touhous. Having a bad character vs bad character is boring, but OP vs OP battles are fun.

Wait auto balance is an actual thing? I thought that was just a chat joke.

I thought it was at first, but I specifically remember some characters having stupid high health and then later when I see them versus characters they're taking normal damage. I guess it's possible that some characters do obscenely high/low damage, but I'm not sure.

Characters having obscene natural health or naturally low damage is what you're seeing here. Autobalance does things like make a 1hp character into a 2million hp character when the odds are stacked against them enough. You would know if you were seeing autobalance in action.

In a world where there are Berserks, Ronalds and Rare Akumas I'd rather they just just leave the characters alone and not try to balance anything. It's half the fun of it to see random DBZ get blown up my tiny magical girls.

I think the real issue is that the recent pack he added was like 20% Touhous, so now they're everywhere.

That can be easily alleviated by expanding the roster though; there are many many more MUGEN characters out there other than Touhous.

FYI Chomper can't block. Kenpachi's ultimate move seems to make him completely invincible/ungrabbable. The more you know.

Also he has very short, if any, knockback frames so bullet hell juggling doesn't work on him very well. He just keeps trucking.

I've been watching this on and off for most of a week, my salt minimum is up to 40 and I'm still CONSTANTLY seeing matches where I've never seen either character before. Makes it hard as gently caress to all-in sometimes.

e: didn't stop me all-inning on this metal fucker tho, joker blows

that was WAY too close for comfort

Ooh, I know this particular Joker isn't the best, so I went all in on Metallo, hopefully he can dig me outta the mines here. He has a slight gauge advantage going into round 3 but Joker blocks a lot of his supers. Here's hoping...

Edit: Wait, there are people who would bet that heavily on that piss-poor Joker? Huh.

If I remember correctly, their hair color is the easiest way to tell. The bad one's hair is mostly all dark, that was the one we just saw now. The one with solid green hair is surprisingly competent in comparison.

This is the bunnygirl that was fighting that bus last night, but I can't remember how well she did. $15 against lovely DBZ.

Edit: I never noticed Kenshiro on this stage before. Huh.

Whoever said the Salt mines was a state of mind was correct. I haven't won a single bet since blowing it all on Chomper and am getting increasingly salty. When I start genuinely getting pissed it's probably time to call it a night.

It's only been a handful of matches since then. Things'll go your way here pretty soon.
