Ok, first you're saying this is an unreasonable trade-off (lets just assume turtle gets nerved as part of it), which a number of people here would disagree with...and we've made our reasonable points why it would benefit the game. Then you go on with the slippery slope argument.
It's a nightly build, experiment. Certainly other characters have had excessive attention paid to them, and one might have made the same argument back then, but I think that the WBR has been well organized enough to make good changes to these characters.
G&W has been touched minimally. Initially, when we didn't have move specific framespeed modification abilities, G&W was set with no ALR so that he couldn't key spam. When we got the code to modify the lag of specific moves it was an uphill battle to ask for him to have standard ALR for all his moves but his key restored back then. People just have some kind of grudge against the character, I guess.
