Unfair, yes. But not uncommon. In long franchises that's one of the issues new characters almost always have to face, specially in those filled with popular characters. The fact that the plot itself is forcing comparissions between the new and old cast don't help. That way, the people who feels attached to the old cast are less receptive of the changes and stuff added by the new characters and more prone to criticism.
Force hasn't ended up yet but as stated before the bad pacing is also a problem since makes some people desperate and form their judges with what they have since they run out of patience for new material xDU.
Teana and Subaru have a good start since we saw their potential but they weren't overpowered right of the bat, we see them develope and work to obtain to achieve awesomeness xD. Still the first half of StrikerS was clumsy managed and thus bored part of the audience.
