Are comeback mechanics necessary (and does the community want them)?

It is this attitude of sheer, conceited arrogance that won’t convince anyone of anything. The false dichotomy of “either X game is designed in the only way I say a game should work, or it is for morons and cardboard chewing idiots whom are infinitely beneath me.”

It’s funny though; citing the “game design for scrubs” as the game having those annoying links that require skill that, when mastered, only doubles your effectiveness, is a very odd way to define design elements supposedly marketed at simple minded, unmotivated players.

Somehow, I find it dubious that Super Turbo is the only game design in the world which inherently engenders depth or requires any “skill” or “motivation” to play. More likely that SFIV is a different game. The problem is that self-proclaimed OG White Knight players keep coming off as whining about how their skills can’t dominate people they don’t believe deserve to win, in new games.

read your own post carefully and you should realize you are proving his point

Do you know the difference between SF4 and ST?
