Alien is like Demolition with better range, easier execution, more tools, and better defensive options - and THAT is looking at his variations that are not Acidic.
Acidic is just stoo-ped, stupid bro-ken.
Well, you threw an opinion out that wasn't vague(less vague than "I think X character is in this tier", or "I think this character should get nerfed"), and now we know how much you know about the character(s).
This is especially weird coming from a Kotal player. I'm gonna assume that you just don't understand what Demolition does, vs what Alien does. You just see 50/50s and it's all the same thing. Don't take this as me downplaying, again, because i'm not. Alien does have better neutral than Sonya. I'm just arguing against Alien being "like Demolition".
Go into practice mode with any variation of Kotal, do B332 xx close stun grenade, without detonating, and try to punish it with any Kotal variation. You'll quickly discover that you really can't unless the Sonya player messes up. To add to that, in order to escape a follow up 50/50 or take your turn, you must make another read after already blocking a 50/50. This is a lot different than being able to instantly punish no matter what. It's like the tap-tap vs the brush-brush. See what i'm saying?
In the case of Acidic Alien, to ever launch off of a 50/50, he must use meter, that in most cases, he cannot hit confirm. He is never safe either, when trying to launch. So when comparing their offense, you have one character that has 50/50s with mind games after they're blocked, at least in most matches(you see Scar use Covert Ops vs characters like Jax and Mileena that have better tools to avoid them). With Alien you have a character that is always unsafe and using meter when going for a launching 50/50. Again, not saying Alien is worse than Demolition, i'm just comparing the two characters. Alien's neutral is obviously better.
You have one character with a ridiculous neutral game, versus one character that thrives on mix ups that lead into mind games once blocked. If you made a pie chart that represents their strengths, it would not say that "Alien is demolition with better range", or whatever.
