Kind of surprised that Elliana is not that great.

Now I feel a lot would dissagree with this, but I feel characters need to come out op, just so that nerfs can easily identified, meanwhile buffs cannot be so easily spotted for which moves.
But at the same time, technical characters like absa and Elliana aren't that great as a concept anyways just because any character that can be aggresive and fast can be her (which is most of the cast)

I feel she would only work agaisnt people that haven't played the game enough, easily nicked by her steam without a clue on how to di and whatnaught.

Unless people find new combos are bread and butters with her, I know she will stay in low tier forever. Mostly because her "zoning tool" can literally be just pushed away.

It would be kinda cool if you could peach float (keep the same overheating and everything). But I do appreciate how unique she feels compared to most fighters in any game, so I can see that being kinda lame.

My problem is that she doesn't really have as many bread and butters like other characters (I mostly play kragg so my B&Bs tend to be jabjab dtilt/ftilt, nair fair, etc and then I use rock for zoning). If you can get your first mine down you're usually good because you can remine as the last one explodes, but landing the first one is usually a game of dropping it out of the sky or taking a couple hits to land it.

And then her steam is just trash lmao, like sure you can probably get someone that doesn't know you can just swing at it and it goes away to ragequit but anyone that knows your steam is gone in a hit will just cut through it and you'll die. It's not a threatening zoning tool at all.
