I never even said Little Mac was broken.
I said it was laughable how people think Luma is broken yet do not put the same criticism towards Little Mac's signature mechanics. Because if you really think Rosalina being broken is a logical conclusion for the sole reason of "Luma can attack and punish punishers, etc", then you should be applying that criticism to Little Mac tenfold.
The things you guys are complaining about with Luma are literally just Luma mitigating some of SoRo's weaknesses. Little Mac, on the other hand, has mechanics that bring him from strength to strength to strength.
For example, Rosalina is easy to hit (in theory) because she's big. So Luma is able to either take hits for her, or hit opponents away from her when they have her locked in a jab combo, grab, etc.
This is a case of "Weakness to Strength".
Little Mac, however, is not easy to hit. He is small, crouches when running (thus reducing his hurtbox), and Side B gives him invincibility frames on the ground. He is also really fast (while Rosalina's running speed is only slightly above average). Oh, and he has a counter. He has literally no excuse to get hit, especially from slow, hard hitting attacks.
Yet, despite that, he has Super Armour that allows him to shrug off pretty much any attack, which THEN allows him to get a huge bonus to his Power Meter due to it being built up through both taking AND dealing damage, which THEN grants him access to a shield ignoring OHKO move. So he has the tools to EASILY avoid being hit, yet still has mechanics that reward him for being hit anyway.
This is a case of "Strength to Strength to Strength to Strength".
Your logic behind Rosalina being broken is very flawed, but if you choose to believe it isn't, then by logic, you should believe it applies tenfold to Little Mac.
If you don't, you are clearly just biased against Rosalina in some capacity.
