Johnny Joestar in Shonen Unleashed is the epitome of a mid character balance wise. He isnt bad, but isn't good. He lacks any type of consistency, and has almost no way to actually start a combo unless on slow dancer or in dark determination, which has a very long cooldown. Almost all of his moves are easily dodgeable or lockable, and I have to address his passive. He is the only character in the game who literally cannot dodge attacks without using a move. He is the ultimate guradbreak and gap close victim, even on slow dancer. He has almost zero good matchups, and even with a good player controlling him, he can barely keep up with other competent players using better characters. All of his moves are cancellable, so straight up but rushing him completely shuts him down. His awakening is lackluster, due to the fact most of the moves need to be aimed to even do anything, which is extremely inconsistent. His awakening moves are arguably easier to dodge than his base moves, which is so dumb. The moves themselves are fine, but they lack the damage (and bullshit hitboxes) that other characters have in awakening. So overall, Johnny needs some buffs or maybe even a rework to compete with other characters. Or maybe actually balanced the game so that characters like Johnny arent as bad comparatively.

Anyways, I just had to rant about this.
