I don't like to blame my characters when I know I could have played better.
Most people on this site whine about top tiers when as far as we know right now, they don't even lose more than 5-5 or 6-4 to the aforementioned top tiers, when most people in ranked aren't even good players or lab that much in comparison to tournament players. At the highest level of play, their char might lose the matchup, but 99% of the time it's not terribly so. And they're not even close to the highest level of play.
I guarantee you that nearly everyone that is whining about how they can't do anything vs XYZ chars is just incapable of self reflection when they have an excuse for losing handed to them on a silver platter.
"It's geras, he's so broken, scorpion's tp is sooo dumb, sonya can zone you out". If you don't lose 6-4, what's the difference between any other matchup? That you have to play differently, the top tiers, even if they don't completely destroy you, they force you to play differently. Some ask you to look at their meter carefully, others to learn to play footsies while forced to block low more than often, others to learn to deal with characters that can zone while also being strong up close. They have their cake and eat it, just like other top tier chars in other games.
But ask the average poster to learn to S1, FB or even react and block errons F4. Or react to reborn's meter when he TPs, or things like OS FB skarlet slowballs. Nope.
edit: And I say this not as an argueable bottom 5, as a bottom 1. Kotal is the only char in this game who not only gets his D1 low profiled by 18 chars, but also has no corner game whatsoever, he has fewer options and less damage from certain conversions in comparison to midscreen.
And still, the only thing I'd like for this game is hit/hurtbox fixes and for my char at most, command grab not changing sides. I'm not even gonna mention a mid or functional krushing blows, I just want fixes for at least the next 4 months.
