    Gamerbee could fall off a cliff and I would not care. He is the most boring mother fucker to watch with Elena.

    Blind pick rule is enough to mitigate counterpicking. It is your fault not learning more than 1 character. You dont wanna do that? guess what, your loss as competitive player.

    These players dont just pick characters with fresh start. They took time to learn it to some degree. Hell, Infiltration had always pocketful of characters. I knew him first as hakan player from youtube videos until I saw him playing Akuma mostly back in 2011. They pick these characters at HIGHEST LEVEL! It is a risk if your opponent picks something else than you anticipated and cause you to play very akward matchup you're not ready for.

    Counterpicking is a tactic. RPS terms, you know that player tends to pick paper most of the time, you play scrissors. In USF4, there aren't any UNWINNABLE matchups. Then it is your duty as X main to learn your WORST matchups, or atleast have alternative plans to counter them. If you think its so easy to learn new characters to be counterpicked, why aren't you doing so too?

    Also Elena is stupid by design. Healing ultra coupled with FA absorb? Called this already at reveal trailer.

    Elena's easy just pick Sakura and do 50% per touch so she doesn't have time for healing

    oh wait only I can, you guys would be counterpicking dishonorable scumbags if you did :D

    It also seems like Elena works as a counter pick to players not characters. She doesn't work against Momochi, Snakeeyez or Bonchan

    Snakeeyez has enough problems without having to worry about Sakura.

    Get over the hump, man! I know you can do it!

    How would it make you feel if I told you pieces of shit, like Markman, had an offline version of the game?

    Very likely most 'top' players will have early access. That's not a bad thing really, they're providing QA more or less.

    Learning to deal with counterpicks is a part of the game. If the point of the game is to "prove you're the best Street Fighter player," you have to deal with sub-par matchups. Period. If you can't deal with someone who hardly plays the character picking them up for a matchup, then you aren't going to be able to deal with someone who actually plays them as a main. So you either play your character and pray the brackets work out that you don't run into someone maining your counter, or we go back to Sagat Fighter IV and pick someone with minimal poor matchups.

    especially with the format we use. double elim in a bracket of any size doesn't mean you're the best at the game, just better versus who you matched up with on that day. over time obviously the best will consistently place high, and longer salty sets 1v1 exist, but that isn't the main showcase at the moment.
