I never hear anyone complaining about the weapons in SOF2 or Quake 3 because they're mostly balanced.i have, i can remember the first time i was called a rocket whore, a shotgun *****...but i didn't care because all the weapons were availble to the opposition, same thing here. Quake 3 and SoF2 are not the same thing as ESF, comparing them is like comparing apples to organes. I dont care if someone lands a hit on me with melee and then procededs to nock me around with a finger or eye lazer. I can do the same and it's a tactic thats is used by skilled people to add damage to melee attacks to soften their opponents up. Just like forming a ki-Ball ontop of someone when they have been downed. I have had never had a problem avoiding finger or eye lazers, from long range, ever, since I NEVER STAY STILL! those who have fought me know that i am a very squirly person and hard to nail down with any attack but ones with large blast radiuses.
Someone who knows what they are doing has a tremendous advantage if he has a laser attack because it is free damage whenever you stop moving or take a melee hit.true, i know that we were all newbs at one point, but i dont care about the noobs anymore. Simply put I am no longer a newb to ESF so i dont have any trouble with the finger lazer or eye lazers being given to Piccalo or Freeza. Now if every character had these attacks then i would start to worry.
But back to the topic i think that the kame is cheaper than the lazers, how many people can you kill with a lazer and melee in under 5 seconds? Very few, i can tell you, it takes me awhile to kill someone using freeza or piccalo if they know what they are doing, but newbs can easly spam kame, FF, BB, FB, and other such attacks while im still trying to kill people with freeza or piccalo, using the so called "cheap attacks".
