Hilde, Maxi, Tira and Voldo Confirmed for SC5!

That is clearly not the case. Of course balance is important and never just thrown under the bus to make something unique. All I can say this time is that mistakes of SC4 will not be repeated. Please pay careful attention to the interviews that come from Gamescom.

I see. I'll look forward to those, then.

I'm still waiting for the day WC Maxi comes back to the US and dominates at Evo. Before my time sadly.

Yes, Americans, especially as of late, are becoming data obsessed. There is a huge emphasis on frame data and risk/reward. MK9 is the only recent game that has diverged from this where you see people trying to play simply by reading opponents. It began in the latter days of SC2 and most of SC3, where frame data was brought up every other discussion, mainly due to the high safety play. Ironically, if you look a the "old school" players from SC2, they didn't obsess anywhere near over frame data as players do now, even though SC2 probably was the most turtle friendly SC of all. I just don't get it. After -20, does it really matter if a move is -21?

I thought Maxi dies in SC3 ?

I wouldn't say it matters then again I probably don't play this game enough to were my timing would be that dead on. I try my best to read my opponent and act accordingly however again due to the fact that I'm an utter failure at timing. *and Worse that Failure online* I hardly parry or GI so I get my tail handed to me quite a bit. All in all frame data doesn't play a huge role for me. (unless your talking Amy then you she how ridiculous that mess is.)

I agree, SC4 I refused to look up frame data just for the fact that it made the game more fun to play. I hope that this game has more to do with accurate countering and guarding then it does with frame advantages. When people speak frames, its a killjoy in a few ways.
