Where do I go to bitch about Devil Jin being banned? "Banned by coincidence" has to be the stupidest excuse for a ban ever. It takes hours for tournament organizers to unlock all the other characters, and then it takes five minutes to slap together some kind of custom DJ character that conforms to an agreed upon template like "default height male with default body type, no dangling fabric, no unusual appendages other than wings, no hats, no afro, no fursuit, no items in the 'specialized equipment' slots unless it's one small set of horns." And leave it up to the organizer to decide how much they want to care about actually making it look good within those rules. That should be easy and fair enough for everybody.

Daishi specifically addressed this concern about Devil Jin on Twitter before the game came out. He said the move set is balanced, and we should pick an official height. Well, there's a default height, so there you go. We should respect his say-so on the subject, and welcome this new piece of variety to a game where people regularly complain about the smallness of the roster.

I suspect what's really going on here is that people think DJ's too good, and they're using the lazy ban on customs as an excuse so they never have to prove it.

Sorry. I missed any previous runs at this subject. I'm not much of a forum rat. Last I'd heard, what I'm describing was what we were doing. You've got to admit "banned by coincidence" would never fly if this situation had happened to Talim or Zasalamel. I recognize that this is a tangent for the thread, and I was serious in asking where the appropriate place was to register my disgust.

Yes, it would.

Also, if you wish to imply TO's are just lazy and that is the reason, I might just start slandering you without justification like so:

You know, in Madison they just want to get more money in the TO's pockets, hence they allow him regardless of what logistical issues it might cause. Cash in on that Tekken money.

That seems sort of off the mark now doesn't it?

CaS is always banned, always has been, always will be. Give us a character model, we won't have this problem. That's my opinion as a TO since 2000.

Edit: Also if OOF is agreeing with you, you've probably fallen on the wrong side of the argument.
