Like I said before, having around 30 characters that are all 100% equal (or close to) seems 100% retarded to me. If you're going to make a fighting game where everyone is equal, why not just make a game - have only 2 characters, and give them each 50 skins so they all look different. That way it comes down to button-mashing skill, and not character choice.

Guilty Gear, Blazblue: Continuum Shift, Street Fighter 3rd strike, Melty Blood: Actress Again, Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition
All of these are considered fairly balanced, each character is close enough to the others to give everyone a fair chance. They're all good games. You should try them. Hell even Tekken 6: BR is extremely balanced.

Actually Dormammu is pretty useless except for his assist. Wesker is one of the lower tiered characters, and the general consensus in the community is that every character is extremely playable. Which is fine compared to marvel 2. Well except Viewtiful Joe, he's the worst character in the game, and pretty much unplayable. MvC3 is pretty much balanced right now. It's actually pretty decent if you learn how to play the game.
Magneto, Tron, Amaterasu, Zero, Wolverine... Those are your top 5 characters. Storm is considered pretty beast mode too.

That's true, no competitive game will ever be balanced, just close to it, like the majority of fighters released these days.

That actually has nothing to do with this conversation.

Actually I've generally never had that problem, as I didn't play competitive fighters until college, and at that point I actually learned what the fuck I was doing. Enough to know that mortal kunglaobat is garbage in terms of being competitive.

Then again, I suppose most people that play games now have no idea what losing is like, since most games now are basically idiot and fail-proof.

The words of a casual. If one of your friends, or even you, decided to actually learn how to play any of the mentioned games, you would realize that it's not quite the case in fighters.

Didn't take it as so. I'm heavily involved in the competitive fighting game scene and actually understand it. I assume you play with a group of friends that haven't even bothered to understand the mechanics behind a 30-80% combo in MK, or how to effectively DHC with your team in MvC3.
