And just to state a little more clearly-- I don't care the game isn't perfectly balanced. I totally do not expect it to be because that would just be an insane undertaking.
What I would like is a game where things at least are close so when I go online I'm not constantly playing the same three or four fighters all with pretty similar fighting styles. If I don't like those fighters it means I either have to play a fighter I don't like or get use to losing a lot.
Either of those cases isn't fun.
-edit-
Also remember I also excluding world class/tournament type stuff. Having top tiers for something like that is perfectly acceptable and undestandable, I'm just talking about playing random games online. It's annoying to have a large cast of characters but only seeing the same 3 or 4.
