Sagat’s character design is great. Just make him do less damage per hit. Theres nothing wrong with having a good character, its just that lots of other characters are gimp compared to him.
I actually like balrog, I know many people don’t and he is quite a gross character, but I like playing him…I just find his moveset fun. With that said I believe he sucks in SFIV. Most of his specials are unsafe, and when you look at his normals in a footsies game…well, its not lookin good. Jab is his best way to start a combo, and the range on it is pretty bad. I don’t think he needs to be buffed or nerfed, I just think people need to understand how to fight him better.
I wish chun would have just a LITTLE more to her, but she is a great character overall. If I could have either one of these:
-Less floaty jump
-Standard health
I think Gouken needs to not have terrible normals.
It would be tight to not have Dan in the game, I pretty much thought comic relief was covered with rufus AND fuerte in there. But oh well.
Rose could be better. Haven’t played her enough to know what with though.
Fei-long is mediocre at best, maybe people are sleepin on him but I have not been impressed with what I have seen. Best ultra juggle you can get is 3 hits with no animation = COOL.
I think Sakura is pretty good, her ultra damage could be a tad bit higher.
Guile should have a decent combo juggle into ultra. And get rid of the rediculous motion for the ultra, that shit is uncalled for.
I think Dhalsim, Bison, Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Viper and Abel are fine.
I dont believe I’m in much of a spot to comment on the other characters though.
