mmm, I could some points being true
For example, almost all of us are not high level players, in some games like 3-3 I had seen some people winning tournaments with almost any character, the problem is that when you are in a tourney, you will like to pick the character that will gave you the bigger chances to win, so that' why almost always we see the chun li - Yun Festival
There are other games when you really know that the game is well balanced, like garou, sure, kevin and jenet are godlike, but still, almost anyone feels that stand a chance against each other, on any level
XIII did it well, since almost everybody received buffs, even the 2 top tiers, but also, worried to remove the BS mechanics that they had
Now on 98um, the game will be better, if weren't because Krauser almost plays alone
But yeah, the article is not that good
