brace: it seems to me that you - or your opponents- can't play. Its really HARD to hold a distance against a good opponent. Counting on switchout, rest, and if-i-attack-i-wont-have-50-energy makes it impossible for maintaining a distance for long.
p.s. Popo is a murderer at both ranges if you know how to play.
there should be a "final chance" attack in extra for random dmg and 10% hit chance - such as ashi thros her axe and it hits afar, or andromeda triesto throw a dart upon the enemy - it would cost 5 energy and make all attacks impossible for 10 rounds for the player who used it. As a final chance. And after that, survival for 10 rounds would be very, very hard - but possible!
What do you think?
I like your idea Plix.
My idea: there should be a light char type, angels, for instance - with lots of light attacks. I think that light attacks are the most rare in the game.
sorry for breaking it into 2 pieces - pilebunker and the rest is only good against chars with low dark resistance and much 0x0 like attacks. He is only good at near because of that - and Popo with the cheap attacks and high dark resistance pwns him easily.
perloothebolt: Phoebe's power lash is not so easy to get: when u switch to far, you won't have enough energy to do it. Plus, you can switch out, too - or get near next round.
