How do you get around the rock/paper/scissors character selection? Player 1 picks his zoning scorpion while player 2 goes for rush down version of scorpion, it will still be a bad match up for one of the guys regardless. Tools of the characters, match-up exp and lastly the skill level and execution will be the deciding factor. To me the understanding of a balance fighting is to make every character the same...
