Kayane's Hands-on Impressions of SC5

This thread went wild with 'this and that' about Just Guard. Just Guard is a terrible idea too simple for such a high reward vs. Just Guard is going to make the game fun and exciting.
Just give the game a chance people! If we keep putting pessimistic arguments over constructive criticism nothing will be done but bickering.
Have a little confidence in Daishi and Namco and make your statements count! Besides there's a Just Guard concerns/discussion thread if you want to go more in depth... This is about the blog right?
 
I don't think GI costing meter is a big deal. How often do people (successfully) GI in a regular match? GIs are, like, a 2 frame window (something like that), so it's a relatively big risk that's been regulated to strictly punishing highly predictable behaviors. Unless you're fighting an idiot, theres not gonna be a whole-lotta GIs going on in a match anyway. Alot of times there are better ways to punish anyway (duck->launch, sidestep, autoGI, etc). That's probably not gonna change with any newer Calibur

I also think JGs are going to be a much lesser deal than people think. Unless JGing gives you something crazy like 20 frames of added advantage, the chance to actually USING JGs to punish are probably not going to happen very often; and only to punish specific moves. You can still block if done early? So what? Even more reason to go for it. That's no different from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and that game was awesome
 
My friend, don't assume I'm pointing out to you. I respect your opinion. :)

emm...suuuure.....

Anyways, GI and JG need to be reconsider, the input command for GI is just stupid, and it also consumes soul gauge... so why in tha F hell would I want to waste bar if i can just JG, makes no sense, on the other hand if!!!! doing a GI gives you the frame advantage that a JGI did on SCIV then is worth doing it...in any case if the final product is as bad as the demo I'm just gonna do many many many low attacks :)

good thing they are open to suggestions cause without fans input this can only end bad...(close beta is needed)
