Spirit of Jazz said:It's almost a fair point, but I often find tiers will effect people of a similar skill level which is what the game sets out to do. Also I think you need to question what's lost in allowing blind select?
That said I've started playing as Gen and it's been pretty fun (I through crossing over with Abel was easy...) On the down side I've not worked out what to do with him when I'm not wanting to jump in.
I wouldn't mind the option of blind select but I also don't think its game breaking like a lot of people do. I think the problem is choosing between which you think is the lesser of two evils:
1. Putting in blind select...which might result in players always choosing a specific character that they think matches up best with the most variety of characters.
versus
2. Not putting in blind select...and people choosing different characters to counter other characters.
Of course the above kind of gets thrown out the door in non-ranked matches as people care less about winning and losing and more about having fun. Blind select isn't going to affect the people always using Ken, outside of MAYBE the extra 25 secs it takes them to choose. That being said, if you don't really care who they are picking in the first place, whats the problem? The faster you pick the faster they will go pick Ken or their shoto of choice.
