Well my gripe was really just towards SF4's Ultra that can ONLY be charged through getting damaged, afaik other popular games haven't really done that. An offensively or over-time charged meter for special moves could be considered a reward for playing well or living longer, but I only see Revenge as a reward for getting beaten up.
Not to say that I see it as a bad game because of that though, I can still appreciate the skill and technical ability in the other parts of the game that make it good. And yeah, that's a badass comeback. The Ken really did deserve that win for parrying so perfectly and following up with the precise offense to win.
I gotta lovingly point out though, Melee hasn't died out, on the contrary it's starting to pull in more players (namely those who started out in Brawl), especially here in NC. Just two weeks ago I went to a tourny in Greensboro and alot of the big names showed up including alot of new competition. A growing NC team, Dr.PP and Lozr nearly beat M2K and ChuDat in teams finals, was probably the most hype sets of the night. The TO still hasn't uploaded all the videos online yet, but if I find the team finals later I might post them here just because.
Somebody did put up some crowd reactions though, lol.
