Is ranked still gonna be blind pick?

Yes. I still hate blind pick with a passion, though.

Exactly. Thanks for stating all of this so I don't have to.

You should, because a majority of the roster is not getting used in ranked. All because of blind picking.

That's not what I said at all. Fighter specific advantages are not exclusive. Both players have equal access to the roster.

The exclusive advantage is the ability to pick a fighter after your opponent does. That's zero-sum and unfair by definition.

But that was EARNED, and it was FAIR. Get better at picking (but that doesn't matter in this game that much).

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

By the way: I appreciate your feedback on alternative options, even though I don't agree with it because the overall stats are not the end of end alls.

What part don't you agree with?

Double confirmation does not allow this. You don't lock in and then your opponent picks. You come to an agreement. The entire roster will actually come into play.

Also, taking quotes and highlighting out statements out of context is jarring. For instance, "And say" is a figure of speech. I could of also said "Let's say". It doesn't mean I was actually saying you said it....my head hurts just typing that.

Picking fighters in a double confirmation is fair and an unearned advantage. AKA, get better at picking (not that it matters so much).

The part about splitting the filters by overall. Because overalls are not the end of end alls. :\

Edit: I have no clue how you spit up quotes. Can you just quote the whole thing.

I've got no problem with who I face, despite being crap at the game. But the one thing that needs to not happen is mirror matches. It is the worst thing about the game hands down. Can't describe how much I hate it.
