lol That's actually 100% your fault... build and few upgrades.

[The Sandmen]

Your philosophy that someone must be at fault for everything is tiring. If no fighters had any holes, how boring would this league be?

Your philosophy and belief that you're somehow always right about everything is tiring too, and we all have to put up with that. lol So what's your point?

You build all the female fighters; Check. Fallon Fox is your fighter; Check. You haven't put allot of points into her; Check. What part of that does not involve you? Tell me. lol

[xx - Team GAP]

if she has been neglected (which she has and this has been confirmed), regardless of who's team it is... put some damn points into her and bring her up to at least to being average. everyone should be using their points to upgrade their fighters... Repeat: Everyone should be using their points to upgrade ALL of their fighters. Not just 1 or 2 fighters they have on their team that they like... otherwise whats the point in having a team instead of every team only consisting of 4 fighters (1 per weight class). Cause then you will only have the 4 fighters you will upgrade. So everyone get busy with upgrading your fighters which you don't care about so we can all have a better well-rounded league for development.
