ok but I owned Turok

The abilities are solid (wouldn't have made it to the playoffs without energy totem) but he just doesn't get the respect he deserves. Voters seem to view 3/week Turok and 5/week Turok as basically indistinguishable. Hell, 5/week Turok lost the 1v1 against Little Mac badly, despite the fact that he's strong enough to tank gunfire and dinosaur attacks.

And since all his abilities are SOBs, they all require rostering a merc that everyone has seen get less respect than many other 5/weeks

Turok never fought in a match that mattered and was remotely even and you tried to hype the cerebral bore instead of his quad energy minigun or multi rocket launcher

I'm pretty sure about where the issue was there and it wasn't on Turok!

(and his abils being SoB doesn't really matter, especially with the energy totem. If you can't win a 5v4 it's on you, really, tbqh)

EDIT: Also the point is he has a shitload of good abilities. His battleworth could be middling and he'd still be worth for them - but it isn't middling. Trying to argue that losing a boxing match is cause for him to be bad is silly. Tifa is a literal martial artist and she lost a match against Mac. Boxing is stupid like that.
