1: I've already learned how to compensate for the bounce when aiming the hot potato, so it tends to only miss if the target runs away from the potato. You're right that it's probably to help balance out the fact that it's a deployable air strike.

2: Yeah, Spin Dash just seems so awkward to use at the moment.

3: They can't. They really can't. In fact, in the beta she was apparently underpowered too, so she went from UP to OP to UP again.

4: I understand why the short-range shots take up two ammo, since it's similar to the low-ammo weapons of a Scientist, but that said, if they take up two ammo, they should be almost as strong as a Scientist's weapons. Also, I noticed myself dying a lot to Sharkbites in my only game so far on Great White North. I thought it was just bad luck.

5: I'll see if I can unlock him. In melee combat, if his punches do electric damage then that crowd control could be crazy useful.

6: Same as with Chomper really.

7: Ya.

8: Really, people are calling for it to be nerfed? Ugh.

9: I was kinda disappointed to get Stuffy because I REALLY want to get Vampy. Chompula is best Chomper (that I've got) after all, so Vampire Flower could be the best Sunny.

10: Which other variant has a weaker mech?

11: Yeah, I know that. And you almost never get enemies lined up straight enough for the shots to pierce properly, so it's kind of a useless special. I've used him some more, so I can definitely say I don't think he's good.

12: I could see Ice Citron being good with weapon upgrades (particularly cooldown-related upgrades), but as it is, it just overheats so fast that I can never capitalize on a frozen enemy, since when they freeze the weapon overheats almost immediately afterward. Funny how an Ice character's weapon overheats so fast, right?

Other stuff:

1: I haven't gotten to Infinity yet, but the Party variants do seem kind of...unoriginal. Moreso than elementals. Like really, how come Party Imp doesn't get a unique mech? LAZINESS, THAT'S WHY.

2/3: I've heard people saying that the "detonate projectiles midair" characters are rubbish. I'll have to try it out for myself tho.

4: I never thought it'd be OP. I knew his weapon would have quite low range and damage to compensate for being a ranged attack. That said, I still wanna try him out because a ranged Chomper is pretty unique.

5: Zenny looks good, but IDK if it can replace Future as my fave Cactoos. Like seriously, I recently started playing GW1 again and I realized just how darn good Future is. Enter GW2 and I get an 11-vanquish streak and no deaths in a game of Team Vanquish with it. Most of those kills against Imps, since the high damage output on those charged shots ANNIHILATES them.

6: I've been vanquished by Park Rangers so fast I didn't know what hit me. He looks like the new Super Commando in terms of power. Which reminds me, I'm thankful that weapon upgrades are harder to use because it means less of the annoying upgraded Super Commandos in GW2 than in GW1.

7: Roadie I knew required you to get close, didn't think AC Perry needed to be close up though.

8: Kden.

9: I thought his gimmick was simply that he moves faster than other All-stars, even when firing or zooming with his weapon. No particular emphasis on zooming.

10: I've been on the receiving end of some Moto-X Stars in BY BG. That ability disabling is pretty annoying in some cases, particularly if you're a ball-form Citron (can't switch to assault mode) or a Chomper (because they need their abilities so much). In other words, Moto-X can counter Chomper and I'd probably quite like it because of that.

11: Pylon Imp looks like the funnest Imp to me, because of the explosive weaponry and high-speed mech. Plus those mines are probably a real pain for the plants.

12: Most of the beat enemy challenges, I did in BY BG. Including things like "Vanquish 15 *Class Name*", where I just went to Flag of Power. I haven't actually played Solo Play yet, I've done modes such as Story, BY BG, Flag of Power, or Multiplayer. Occasionally Ops.
