Any character with Water can become a solid, cheap aggro or hybrid character. Sogetsu's discard/draw, Mika's damage pump, Dhalsim's speed pump, Wingless Aeroplane, Lunar Slash, Cluster Bomb, Fweem? The two main commital offenders, shooting cap, and battle prowess + rejection round out any Water aggro deck with enough survival and control to get out of a lot of sticky situations. That's without hitting anything past a rare (and a good one at that) and hell, 4 characters from set 11 dual-symbol Void/Water. Not to mention Remy eating 30 vitality characters whole turn 2-3.

Also, I think Tag sort of missed a transition turn of phrase, and was talking about the set 6 to set 8 era, also know as the Age of the Hammer. or when penetrating lunge wasn't banned.

I think we're seeing the slow revitalization (no pun intended) of Aggro as a whole. Not a hybrid deck that can aggro out, but the old school 20 attack, 30 foundations, 10 cards that do stuff to help kill you faster decks.

if you want solid agro, air, void, or life (i know it sucks but our life event was all agro). air is definately the best agro symbol but i think we are slowly getting agro back into the game.

oh god yes, but here's the thing. Void is also cheap, but lacks the solid attacks of water (also, I mentioned void as a tag team with water in my post), and an air aggro deck is NOT cheap. Sure you can kinda do it with Remy, but most Air aggro decks will cost you a bit of money.

What's funny about this situation is that none of these are the symbols of who I think is the best aggro character in block 3 ability-wise, Yang

yang? i think promo alex, alex4, Chun li, felicia4, taki7, talim4, and elana are all beter agro chars. i think yang is too fragile and has a poor symbol spread too be the best agro charecter.

which is why I stated ability wise. How many aggro decks have to pack answers or at least expect Rejection? or Assassination Arts? Yang has built right into him R commit 1 foundation: I don't care about Rejection. Add that to a very solid speed boost character ability, and he's good.

Unfortunately, his symbols are lame sauce. 19 vitality isn't that hard to protect though (Read: Rejection gran_risa.gif )

i actualy think he could be good off life/ fire, with leona's suport. i just wish he had air or void so you could realy agro him.
