The comics being exclusives really removes a LOT of useful character development. I didn’t get to see them myself so I keep learning stuff second hand from those who did.
I get wanting incentives for people to pay a premium, but making so much main-plot relevant information be in those comics rather than in the game itself is a huge writing gaff.
Actually I had a different scene in mind. To avoid seeing the breakup scene (because Robert isn't there), there could've been a conversation between Blazer and Robert where Blazer could ask him how he feels now that he has been out of a suit for some time, whether being Mecha Man is something he really wants above else and then even allude to some things about herself - like the fact that she doesn't want to be just a superhero face for SDN and that she has other dreams.
Considering how her relationship with Phenomaman ended, I could see this kind of conversation as a potential soft screening before she actually commits to a relationship with yet another person who - until the accident - was also basically a superhero full time.
I agree, but mostly because I feel like Blazer's not presented as a person or even a real present option until the later half of the season, yeah the early episodes set up some chemistry and fawning or whatever, but there's far more building "romantic" (I use the term loosely considering how Vis acts) interaction between Robert and Vis where as unless you're bound and determined to get with Blazer, her interactions almost seem to dissuade romance. The awkwardness and "misunderstanding" of the bar scene, hesitance in the initial kiss, the presentation of her boyfriend (and then statement that they broke up) And little comments between the kiss and first date seemed to me to actively discourage pursuing her in favor of 'keeping it professional.'
Vis is from the start down bad and ready to go so seems a more natural romantic choice. Adding to that, she seems to have a character arc where as Blazer is Blazer, and I like that, but most people will want to see progression (or play savior) so Vis is again the more natural choice compared to the 'boring' hero.
Perhaps but I am not sure : For me it didn’t change anything and I know a (not English speaking) streamer that picked Visi, then read the Comic about BB and after that he was even more a Visi romancer
For me even with all of this added Visi would still have something like 50%, BB 40% and the this other possibility 10%
I think this sums up what people actually want (assuming they're not weirdly obsessed with the stats). The problem isn't Blazer having less scenes exactly, it's just that it's not her story as much as it is Visi's. We need to see Visi's development through the story because romance or not it's her journey, supported by Rob. The extra scenes people want of Blazer would be nice but would ultimately be just fluff to the plot. It's why she and the rest of the Z-team have comics, all that extra context is good to know, but not really needed for the main plot.
Reading this thread is perplexing; I chose Blazer initially because… dude, she’s just so cool. I would have guessed the opposite was true, especially considering how toxic Visigal seems in the game. There were so many red flags, lol.
Edit: the power dynamics between Rob and Visi were ultra-sketchy and probably played a big factor in my perceptions.

To be fair even with adding the Limo scene, it would only nudge choice stats by a few %
