Everytime I hear balance, I die a little inside. They're more interested in winning than having fun. Even beating them with a lower tier character like Peach will cause them to call Shenanigans. You can't win with them, they're boring bitter people who are only measured by their online accomplishments.
I can't believe you think that that making balance tweaks is unnecessary. I don't see how it's wrong for someone wanting characters to be better. You must don't play with Viper in SF4 her worst match ups have to be Zangief and E.. Honda. In these match ups Zangief doesn'tgnearly have to work nearly as hard as Viper to win. If he can knock Viper down he can win pretty easily by standing over her and doing pile drivers or lariats. Not much Viper can do in that situation. Her choices are waking up with a block if you expect a lariat or do a BK if you expect him to pile drive. Neither of these are reliable options as there's only a 50% chance of you being correct.

Basically the fight consists of her just trying to keep Zangief as far away from her as possible and punishing him when he smurfs up. Viper smurfs up a couple of times and it's looking grim for her. That fight isn't any fun.

Peach being low tier first for me, thought everyone in Smash had a fair chance of winning, minus the ol' Jig.
