Official Soulcalibur V Post-EVO 2012 Rule Changes!

Not gonna lie, I haven't been a fan of Jaxel in the past, but I have to go ahead and say job well done here. He did a small amount of research on the topic, talked to a few random tourney-level pals about some changes, and put something together to improve this game. So, he didn't get it quite right, and people came down hard on him. HARD.

But what happened? People like Sluch posted up facts about damages and combos not being that much different with multiple backthrows in them, others posted about C2B not being a true infinite and pretty hard to do anyways. The key here is that Jaxel listened to these facts and made the changes, despite people flaming him personally. That's called doing what's right, or being the bigger man, or having integrity, etc. Props on that because in a lot of communities mr-leader-dude sticks with whatever he said first no matter how wrong it is because of pride and stubbornness (WCMaxi).

Lastly, OOFMATIC: No. There is no point to deleting this shit and pretending it never happened. If this thread isn't proof of why we need open discussion then I don't know what is. And since I never miss an opportunity to flame ShenOu for being the dogshit irresponsible retard that he is: how would you guys have liked it if the thread got closed down and removed whenever someone tried to post why not to ban repeat C2Bs or viola backthrow->combo->backthrow? Cuz that's what happened in SC4 with ShenOu, anytime a discussion came up about Hilde there was this clown to shut it all down like we were about to say "Voldemort".

Be happy the community was allowed to speak freely about important matters this time around.
