it would be easy to assume yay is their win condition, but the more i watch optic the more I notice is that if Victor has an off day Optic will most likely lose
The only ppl in NA that are really better at his role than him are Zekken(arguable), Jawgemo(not really the same since he doesn't play kayo), Nismo and Xeppaa all of which I'm not sure would actually be better for Optic, it's just a hard role for them to ever change.
Victor was better than Zellsis in Stage 1 in pretty much every stat and actually played in stage 2 Zellsis is good but he hasn't outperformed victor in a while
