About Saiki, he was banned from tournament because of his imbalance? Will it be always? That is, it's useless to pick up this char and just a waste, isn't?
I don't think he will be banned in the future, at least i hope not.
I think the misconception at the moment is that he is a 'boss character', whereas he is more like a 'toned down playable version' of the boss, in my opinion from what i have seen from him so far he does not seem broken or has any particular advantage over any characters.
From what i remember of the actual Boss Saiki he is not even the same.
Maybe he has some good combos from the videos i saw from EVO, but then a lot of characters have them as well.
It will be disappointing if the KOF community actually decides to ban Saiki and the DLC characters, especially in an age where other fighting game communities are allowing home version characters.
