I have both City Hunter and Mr. Black, so I can test this.
But just by playing them, CH feels like it has bigger energy pool than Mr. Black. Recovery overload is faster on Mr. Black than on CH, that’s for sure.
Speed does matter, against good teams, especially with good snipers, you leap, you die, so actually being fast and running on the ground behind cover is a better option. Noone is calling you an idiot dude, we’re just having a conversation.
I’ll test the amount of plasma shots later on CH and Mr. Black.
