Be honest, the only fighting games which are really balanced are those who completely nerf characters to all hell, or those where each and every character is the same.

That's why there are character tiers in fighting games. And it's not really all that difficult. All you have to do is stick to high end Boss Monsters like the FHK, Alice (all introduced, maybe even the first as a bonus character), Beelzebub, Lilith and Lilim (treated like Juni and Juli), maybe the Queen Harpy, Cirq Du Croix (faught separately, although Titania might need some work), Frederika and Chrome, La Croix, Kraken, Poseidoness, Sphinx, Orochi, etc.

Then of course there's the angels: Luka, Lucifina, Micaela, Ilias, Promestein, Eden, some of the less... gimmicky looking Angels (and yes, even the massive NOPEs), maybe even the Angel Army where they take you on Mook style.

If you want, you can even have Marcellus and Lazarus in their primes along with Merlin and Karen.

I'd say that's a big enough roster of characters to choose from, and I haven't even named most of them.
