Phoenix is actually the #1 thing keeping me from playing right now. I’m tight on free time, and allocate my SF time to AE right now. I watched the entire vid when you posted it; after a few non-Phoenix matches, I was thinking, “this actually looks kind of interesting and fun, maybe I’ll play around with it.” By the end of the Phoenix matches, I was thinking, “I will enjoy that precisely zero. It’s just not worth it.” It’s not just the fact that it’s equalizing, but that the equalization seems random. But even if you assume the Phoenix v. Phoenix (or whoever) is pure skill and not at all random, it seems to reduce the entire 3v3 game to the Pheonix game. That just doesn’t seem fun to me.

I don’t think it’s good to have everything boil down to five seconds of Phoenix vs Phoenix – with the only earned advantage being one character activating X-Factor slightly later or having slightly more meter or whatever.

But at the same time I grumble at Phoenix’s centralization on the scene right now: you either have to come with an anti-Phoenix strategy to win consistently, or just use her yourself. She equalizes, but I wonder if it’s perhaps a little too well.
