Learning matchups doesn’t do you much good in a game where there was a character with fullscreen mixups that went into full combos, others with 100% guardcrush strings, and an infinite reset that was nearly inescapable for most of the cast. BBCT was a broken mess. Even just some of the mechanics were poor, like untechable time proration being based off of time, which due to the extra hitstop moves have on counter hit, could actually cause combos to drop only on counter hit. The guard libra system was terrible, bursting was terribly predictable and severely gimped you defensively. I stopped playing BBCT back in like March after going to Final Round and seeing the finals there. Claps everywhere.
BBCS is still pretty unbalanced, but it doesn’t have garbage like CT shenanigans, like the Tager/Nu or Tager/Carl matchups, or George being a B-tier character by himself.
