Judging from the video her attacks are really slow, you could speed them up a little more so they can transition smoother. And she's pretty overpowered, you could lower the damage she gives.

They're slow on purpose so that if you get hit by her then you deserve the life she takes.

I could lower the damage she gives but that's kind of the point of the character.

But O-Ren is suppose to be fast, an assassin attacks with fast swift attacks and her being slow and powerful doesn't really fit her at all, on top of that it just makes her unbalanced and not fun to go against

Being terribly blunt here:

Spoiler: feedback (click to see content)

- there's no consistency in regards to sprite style; while I can accept it for the Guilty Gear characters, why did you use
Ken and Akuma's SFIII sprites
Kyo's KOF spriteset
when there are CvS sprites for all them?
Try to use similar sprite sets when possible.

- Are all of the intros going to be like this. Guy/girl gets teleported/moves to Japan, talks to Ryu, starts the battle because of a prophecy... why?
To me it looks like you didn't think about the plot, it just sounds like an excuse for this compilation (I'll return to this later).
I mean, what's the cause of the tournament? Do they really have to fight? Can't they just work together? What's the purpose of it all? What is with this prophecy? I just know that Oro predicted it, but there's nothing else...

I would have thought of this: different people get teleported in different places and an unknown guy (it could be a silhouette) explains what's happening; it could also be the mid-boss, the henchman of the final boss, who thought about doing all of this.

Ken's intro at the end of his presentation:
"Ken is rich, famous and married" why did you need to point it out? It has no impact on the story, since it's only a war.
The rest is okay, I would have written it like this:
"Ken is the United States martial arts champion and Ryu's best friend. One day, Ryu told him to come at Suzaku Temple for a training session, to prepare for..."

and then the dialogue would go like this: Ryu explained everything he knows and Ken resumes the dicussion with:
- Ken: "A war? Fighters from other realities... What the heck?"
- Ryu: "Yes, Oro told me about this prophecy and it seems like it's going to happen soon. I'm actually excited at the idea of fighting new opponents, but first we need to prepare for this, that's why I called you for a training match. This place looks safe for now. So, shall we start?"
- Ken: "Yeah, let's start sparring!"
or something (I just wrote some random stuff)

- Speaking of the intros,
Jin's intro is awfully animated, the sprites are so misaligned and in the end it looks like it repeats itself too.
About the others, the misalignment is still there; I mean, even when they should stay in place, they slide on the floor, they move around (and I'm not talking about changing sprites); there needs to be more animation.

- The game just looks like a compilation; I won't argue the fact that you edited the characters, but the edits you have made are so little they're unnoticeable.
Like I said before, you need consistency, but I don't see it: SFIII characters by GM, Chun Li by Jmorphman, that Kof Kyo... they seem to play like the original releases... You need to edit them much much more.

And now talking about O Ren.
O Ren is... simply put, too overpowered, or maybe it is a beta/alpha character... nothing I could consider version 0.75 though, more like 0.25.
- CLSNs are terrible; they are either too big, or too many or they aren't even there (eg: walking forward and walking backwards: 2 or 3 frames out of 10 have CLSNs, the rest don't have them); there's also a lot of infinite priority instances for her attacks;
- the animations are very very slow; if she's an assassin, why is she so slow?
You should make her faster (not too fast though) and revert the data values to normal:
attack = 800 ? Really? 100 is enough;
life = 250 ? Instead of that put her life at 1000 and reduce her defence;
- talking about animations, "b" should hit more than once yet that doesn't happen;
- misaligned hitsparks;
- debug flood during the intro and the ending (because there aren't the required anims for the changeanims.
(Ctrl + D for debugging, the debug flood is the list of messages and errors that appears on the top left corner)
- Hadoukens?

as it is right now, if I wanted to win against an enemy, I would just spam "a" (and "c" too) since they deal a lot of damage and they're fast enough; and walk half of the time because I know I'm almost invincible. When I'm far away I only spam the medium hadouken (and maybe the hadouken super, since it kiils the enemy quite easily).
But relying on that tactic wears off after a while, and that's not fun.
This feedback is not meant to make the character more accurate (I don't know if your character is accurate to her backstory) but it's meant to make her more fun to play as. So what you need to do is to make her balanced, make her animations faster and attacks that make sense, also add the correct animations for the intros and endings and fix her CLSN boxes.
