Online style usage

I've fought almost every style online, EXCEPT Raphael. It seems like I'm the only one playing Raphael online. Has anyone else noticed this strange occurence?

To make it more interesting, what styles do you guys hate to fight against online/like to fight against/like to use etc.?

I remember someone in one of the Global Colosseo lobbies complaining about the lack of Hilde players. I then fought two Hildes in a row.

Also, I can't say that I've fought many Raphaels. Maybe a couple at most. What's struck me is that I've barely fought anyone using Patroklos or Alpha Patroklos. As for styles I hate fighting online, I have hard time with Siegfried and Nightmare players, though a lot of that is my fault. I'm not good at being defensive and usually end up just setting myself up to get smacked in the head by a zweihander.

And for my own styles, I've gravitated toward mostly using Pyrrha Omega, followed by Leixia and Hilde.

I see a fair bit of Raphael but not a ton. I tend to use Mitsurugi and Hilde online and I dread any mach that is against Ezio, the character is fine but most people I play seem to just spam his crossbow.

@DarkShaper: I've played some Ezio, it's his off the ground sword moves that seem to do the most damage, the crossbow is too slow most of the time to do anything.

@Hailinel: I haven't seen Alpha Patroklos either and I've seen a couple of Patroklos but not many. A good Nightmare can make me sad, but I haven't been up against many challenging Siegfriends, granted, I only have about 37 matches played.
