Raven is hype because he's an alternate timeline Axl.
But he's not. He never was.
Did they never play Guilty Gear X?
Pretty certain that Axl had his XX look in GGX. He only had that combo of outfit and beefiness in the original Guilty Gear, which I doubt many knew or cared about because it never had an arcade version and was ridiculously unbalanced in comparison to later games.
Justice has only lopsided matchups, either 7.5-3.5 or 3.5-7.5. That's not "balanced".
When I was playing casuals with SkeletalMinion at CEOtaku I was amazed by how it felt like I couldn't do /anything/ as Justice when in the corner. It's like they put all their energy nerfing the character into tourney legal status but then gave up halfway into making her a decent character.
I wonder if she's going to have the version of her outfit from that pachinko spin off.
