An interesting switch in defining a meta.
It’s clear that there has been a fundamental shift in how CG cultivates the meta. Before these last two GLs, it was almost a given that the new hard to get characters would replace the previous meta ...

I don't understand, Xagen.
Isn't SEE ripping through JML & Rey? I understand that SEE can't beat SLKR, but that doesn't mean he isn't part of a crosslinked meta. Even if all 3 other GLs can beat him, he can beat 2 of the 3 other GLs, which means that when you're getting your 2 GLs (minimum) to make sure you can rotate through them to get the right one in the right fight so you can climb Arena ranks, SEE is one viable option. It seems to me that if you had JML & SEE you could pick your team and beat any of the 4 GLs at your whim, no SLKR needed.
That doesn't mean that SLKR isn't the best (he is) or that JML + SEE is the best choice when picking only 2 (I don't know which two form the best pair, but it would have to include SLKR in my opinion), but SEE is still able to rip through JML & Rey, and for that reason he must be considered part of the current crosslinked meta.
