...wow.
) would love to have a fighter like Barb in their fold. She's got all the tools to be amazing and if I hadn't been so stuck on picking slightly more "established" fighters than Barb was when I picked my team initially, I would have... easily. You've got yet ANOTHER gold mine here in the pretty fucking sick mix of fighters you have Rebel Storm... Yet, you keep giving up and get negative on your fighters when they lose ONE fucking fight; look what they did prior FFS. Fighters lose fights. It happens... Styles clash for good or bad. Not reason to say a fighter sucks over one fight.
