+Putin Mee Naoto isn't even a Shoto character; while he does have a Rekka move and a Vocanic Viper much like Kyo Kusanagi from KOF and Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear, respectively, he doesn't have any form of projectiles and he his gameplay makes him one of the more difficult characters in the game as he is very execution heavy due to his dash cancel reliance.
Maybe, I haven't really watched him at all so I just assumed he's just another straight-forward "beginner" character. My point still stands though. Why the hell would anyone complain about characters with actually interesting mechanics? Would OP prefer Arc games only with characters like Ragna, Sol, Jin, Ky, Terumi and so on? I'm not bashing on said characters, I actually played Jin, but characters like Jack-O and Izanami are the ones that spice up these games and make them stand out from the rest.
