Same, I main Duddles
And I'm pretty good with him too
I prefer Rolling thunder because Hajime no Ippo
And it looks ******* amazing, but I've been messing with Corkscrew Cross for a bit
SF used to be my main game, but with time I got turned off by the lack of options so i'm currently playing Blaz Blue and trying to get into Guilty Gear. Super stoked for SF5 tho when my old Alpha main is back
BB doesn't have close to infinite combos (although some are longer than others), and the % of HP you can take off of someone's HP with a combo is not worse than Street Fighter (especially if we are talking Evil Ryu or Duds himself)
But the mixups can be quite unfair and ******** , the setplay is the main drawback of anime fighters.
That's not to say that E. Ryu couldnt 50% Seth into an unblockable and win the game from literally any hit in the old version, but that got fixed with delay wakeup anyway, so it's all good.
Zangief's L. SPD got less range, but that's about it. I mean, most characters with command grabs suffer from slow speed so it's not bad, the super cheap ones are Yun and Fei Long, and they got slightly nerfed at least (they now count as a hit, so combo scaling kicks in 1 hit earlier)
