The biggest issue with Ace, or just shooter teams in general, is the lack of great subs. With Ace in particular, needing all matching orbs to get the full 3.25x boost from his Captain Ability is a bit annoying. The best way to ensure you have all matching orbs when you burst, is with legend Kizaru, provided your opponent doesn't give BLOCK orbs. Then, the best boosters either only give a 1.5x boost, like SW Franky, or don't have the greatest stats, like INT Marguerite. So basically, lack of great subs, lower tier Captain Ability, and reliance on orb luck just make him not good enough to beat late-game content anymore. Perhaps when he gets limit break and better subs become available he will be used more, but until then he just doesn't get the job done anymore. I for one have been wanting to see a brand new Ace legend that can keep up with the likes of V2 Lucci, Neko, and the other legends that get used a lot.
