Ya SF5 is looking super slow atm. Hopefully we see it speed up in real matches.
Imo its balanced quite well. Fox and Falco are good, but a significant amount of the cast can punish them crazy hard. They are glass cannons through and through. Sure it isnt perfectly balanced, but there are about 10 or 11 tournament viable characters out of 24. I think thats a pretty good ratio for a game thats 14 years old.
Is it due to character balance? I thought in Melee that Fox/Falco win like everything or am I mistaken in that any character could win a major event ?
Maybe that's the reason some games just die out. Without a great balance people just drop it because their main can't hang and grinding seems pointless unless they pick up a pocket top tier or switch mains to a top tier.
