lol yeah, I put competitive players in ' ' intentionally. I'm talking about players who go online and play ranked and want to level up but constantly complain about any character they have trouble with, without even trying to understand or learn them. I'm not talking about the players who make it in top 8's of big tournaments. The top players are the minority.
Just watch any random youtube video or twitch stream of TTT2 and you will see people talk shit about capo's, either the streamer/youtuber or multiple people in the chat or comment section. There's always been a 'lol noob' reaction to any person who plays Eddy, even going back to Tekken 3. It also doesn't help that one of the bigger Tekken youtube personalities has sort of a crusade against capo's. I strongly disagree with their mind set but that doesn't mean that those players or fans don't complain about them. Even Harada mentioned it on twitter. He responded to someone who said that they love Eddy and Christie and don't understand why they are not in T7 yet and Harada said something along the lines of: "you like them but a lot of people complain". Something like that.
And when it comes to the popularity I could have sworn I saw Christie very high up on of the official lists of most used characters on console. Obviously this is not the case for the arcades, as character usage is quite different there. I think generally most newer players or more casual fans tend to pick up the capo's more. Also, anecdotally on the lower ranks in TTT2 I always see more capo's than when I climb higher up the ranks.
