Wow, seriously? How is fighting them 'dumb'? Because they don't play by the same rule book as most every other character in the game?
Y'know, not every character has to fit your playstyle. There's plenty of characters I hate playing as, yet I'm still glad that they are there. Variety is important for a fighting game. People hate Eddy and Voldo for the same reason I like them (and Elena) - they're unpredictable. You accuse Elena of having weird hitboxes - that's the whole point. Using that to your advantage can make her a far more deadly character than a more linear character.
You need to open your eyes and lay off the haterade.
Because they move unnaturally and respond well to simply mashing buttons.
There's a difference between being unpredictable and having completely unnatural movements that don't make any physical sense. If you have to resort to that to get variety, then you're a poor designer, that's all there is to it. Otherwise you can just make this and call it variety: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBn5wMnqVSY
I love how "you're just a hater" is the new copout for when you don't have anything constructive to say and just want to play the victim.
