On one hand, it's a necessary step to ensure that a fighting game is perfectly balanced and no overpowered characters end up dominating tournaments.

On the other hand, it is the bane of a fighting game player's existence. A hard nerf can end up castrating an entire character from dominant force to near uselessness. This can be bad news to some, especially if you prefer to main a single character.
