really? even a revamp combo system? Mortal Kombat started using "ultras" with their meter management, why not SC5

Well I gotta admit, don't like the fact that they added a meter at all, but 'progress' blah blah ><

I think it just bugs me because you're taking a lot of the spirit out of the game then. There are a million games with really open systems that allow for long combos, and there are a thousand games that have flashy cinematic supers. The combos I think are actually a detriment (given that rant before, they value labtime vs actually playing others, and make the game substantially more lag-sensitive), and cinematic supers can really break the flow. SC5 essentially has supers with camera angle changes in the version we're seeing now. Making them more cutscene-y would just slow everything down.

Ouch! kind hurt to hear I'm helping taking the spirt out of the game. I'm going off from past Soul Caliburs. I'm trying to think of ideas to get people excited about SC5. If that petition for SC5 was started, we wouldn't have a SC5. SC is my favorite fighting game, and I hate the idea of them not making anymore. Don't look at it as "Ultras". Look at it as "Cooler Attack Throws" Like Mina's :3::A::+::B: :at:
 
lol sorry, no offense :p

I think I'm actually way more stuck on 'revamping the combo system' than 'making flashy supers'. The latter are probably coming anyways, its an easy way to add quick excitement.

I think the situation is different now than it was with SC4 (they seem more interested in making a real game, they learned from some of the really bad mistakes in 4, and the market is a lot friendlier to fighters in general), and they don't need to copy SF and Marvel to keep it going :p

People have written whole essays about why SC4 ran into problems, and they don't seem particularly related to 'flash'.
 
LOL yea, "Flash" isn't the best gimmick. I will just put my faith in the Fan & the creative minds behind to game to me (us) the fighter that we all want.

just as long as I can go to a tournament, and not have people pack up and leave after the SSF4 and MvC3 tourney is over, I'll be happy
