Well, you may be happy to hear Lambda's garbage tier in the next game.
I still haven't picked a favorite character to play as. I fare better with certain people than others, sure. But none are "main" territory, maybe because I don't like maining in the first place. Really, I'll play as anyone but Carl. If I absolutely had to pick a few that would be my preferred choices, it might be Litchi and Hakumen. But I haven't been doing so hot with them as of late. I did kick a lot of ass with Ragna the other day, though. I never get that close to double perfect.
Onto CS, something tells me I'm going to get sick of Hazama real quick. Everyone is going to play as him. Not just because he's a cool cat, but he looks noob friendly too. Just hide in the corners and throw chains. It's going to be no different than the spammies in CT.
