I'm so tired of this

Honestly, no. I've heard the general consensus of Soph being easy to pick up and play but never really agreed to it. Could be because her damage output is through the roof but said flamers fail to realize that whatever Soph excels in damage and punish is negated with her generally weak mixup opportunities and limited moveset/comboability. If I was to tier Sophie I'd honestly have her right down the middle with only slight advantage or disadvantage with certain matchups.

Sophie is instant win online but anybody can be given the right conditions. Lag safety is a fickle mistress.
 
As someone who is just starting to pick up Sophitia, she's definitely not as instant-win or cheese-heavy as, say, Mitsurugi or Kilik. Maybe that was the case in SC3, but she's been toned down a good amount. Her once-uber unblockables have been slowed down, 9B+K and 4A series are junk, 1K/4B/6K aren't as good as they used to be.

and i'm pretty sure 236B has always been unsafe on block.
 
Okie i have to admit that even i whisper that kind of shit to myself when i play against say.....you booty? dont get me wrong we always play online and i like playing you and theres nothing wrong with you, but you would have to admit that soph is a tad bit over powered when it comes to priority, punishing, damage and speed. Shes not an iwin button but it she does make it easier for you TO win.

Bottom line there is no iwin character however, dont get mad at me alright? she is what i like to call a noob-friendly charecter that is designed to let newbies to the series get a feel for the game and explore basic mechanics/movelists. Given that she still has some complex aspects about her. but i disagree with you with me saying that she is among the top 5 that are REALLY fucking easy to learn

Is her CF game still good? If so, then that, and her overall safety, compensate for her weak mix up opportunities. Block or not you're still getting hurt. Sophie is a good character.
 
Her CF game kinda sucks now tbh unless you consider 44B+K,A,B a viable option (hell no). Her best CF abuser pre-patch was the game breaking 4B+K but now that title belongs to the much unsafer, slower 44B+K. I might be wrong though.
