I didn’t point out that you copy/pasted from ON to make it seem like a bad thing, I pointed it out because I wasn’t blaming you directly for posting misinformation, I was just saying it sucks because THEY posted misinformation, and then you posted it here, then people see it everywhere and take it as fact.
It’s not your fault, after all, usually this type of shit doesn’t happen, at least not on this scale. Why would people lie or greatly exaggerate the truth? I was posting info from ON as well, and now it’s going to be a huge pain in the ass; I have to test everything because I can’t trust the people that post info at ON.
Personally, from my own experience (ie not influenced by the extreme polarizing opinions on the internets), for the most part I think they changed all the right things. Yes, some people can’t figure out why so-and-so non-top tier character got something downgraded. That’s why they aren’t game designers, they can’t know the reasoning behind specific changes. Sometimes a developer changes something because they simply don’t want it to exist, it wasn’t in their original plan or it didn’t work out the way they wanted. It’s not as simple as “oh my this character wasn’t top tier and they had something taken away I DONT UNDERSTAND!”.
Chances are people have not explored the game enough to find the improvements, after all they would be harder to find, wouldn’t they? We can test the stuff we know because we know it, but the new stuff that might exist we can’t test because we don’t know what it is, so we have to experiment. Do you think anyone would have known that Duck’s Break Spiral had it’s range increased x2 if the promo video didn’t exist?
About rolls, I’m talking about A+B rolls, you know, rolls. Not tech rolls. And tech rolls are far from useless in Marvel.
About ON, I dunno, I haven’t read it in the past, but it seemed like a cool place since it’s full of players that actually post strats. Since KOFXI coming out I’ve of course been reading there more, and I’ve gotten a bad first impression over all this arrange mode stuff. A lot of the info is greatly exaggerated, speculation that got blown out of porportion, or just plain wrong.
