I'm curious to see if they rework the system as well. I feel that since SF4's smashing success a lot of the other fighting games have received some inspiration. I just hope they speed up this one a little. DoA4 felt too slow, imo.
That is true it was a little slowed down it felt.
and really if its faster it would make the counters harder I'd think

Wait, first you say being able to change things later does not stop changes in the present, then you say you didn't expect anything? 😕You said you didn't expect any changes at this point so why not make a comparison later just in case there are? At this point, you've barely seen anything from the game and you're already comparing it? That's like comparing the two characters (Hayabusa and Hayate) in this game to the entire roster of DOA4, even though we know there's gonna be more characters revealed later.
I wasn't talking specifically to you. I was talking about many people already making up their minds about the game when all we got is the first and (so far) only footage of it. You said you felt it was lacking but the thing is, that's for every game with early footage of it. Was it really that surprising that it didn't show much?
We will also make comparisons later. That doesn't stop the comparison now. The gameplay looked like DOA4. I'm not sure how to make this any clearer.
If that wasn't specifically at me, fine. Again, this isn't surprise. I merely pointed out the shortcomings I saw and my hopes for the future. Noone made up their minds about anything. Many of us just want to see changes.

Wonder if they will add a comeback mechanic. Fighters nowadays have them.

I agree. Many games are reading SF4's success manual. Soul Calibur revamped their Soul Guage to resemble the super meter type stuff you see in 2D fighters. It'll be interesting to see a mainstream 3D fighter do that. I wouldn't mind if DOA took a stab at it.

They need to be toned down...somehow, without messing with the game's flow.

I wouldn't want them to get rid of them, i like that the game is counter base.d they just need to add more depth to the system or make them harder imo
I think reducing the counter window should be the first step though.

My fav. was DOA2...priority moves be damned Styletime uhuhI used Ein biscuits
Fighting Ein was so scary back then. You were just playing defensively, hoping Ein wouldn't smash your attack back into your face with his stupid kick. It stuffed nearly everything except Tengu's broken kicks and maybe Ayane's back punch.

Yes. There is no contradiction there.
It doesn't quite flow. There would have been no point in bringing up SCV's changes if you didn't expect any changes here.

That doesn't mean it's not too early to make the comparisons, since you're basically comparing a full game to a beta. We know it looks like it plays like DOA4 but there's hardly anything else to expect at this point.

Like I said a few times already, this is the "pre-alpha" stage of the game. We all want to see changes but we know not expect them in this footage. You say it had "shortcomings" but whatever shortcomings it has is not a big deal, is all I'm saying.

Yes. Yes, it means exactly that. If something looks like something else, we can point it out. You introduced "expectations" into this and projected it onto us.
Cool. If you don't consider shortcomings a big deal, you shouldn't make such....a big deal about it. The fact that they exist is reason to highlight them in a thread about the game for those of us so inclined. Can we finally drop this?

So who is going to be the bigger man and drop it?

I guess I keep getting pulled because it seems like such a simple concept to me. If BroSmash doesn't want to talk about shortcomings, he doesn't have to participate. He should have left it at "Well, I'll wait for more information before I jump onboard with you guys." Noone has a problem with that. Instead, he says "You guys have no right to discuss this in a discussion about the game."
I know. Just let him have the last word so we can get on with the discussion.
I want at least 3 new characters, and please no more ninjas. I wouldn't mind more exotic characters like capcom's Oro and Dhalsim.
