"I’m alright with most of the balance changes, though the Vega and Juri nerfs seem a little excessive (particularly the return of 1F links for Vega, which seems unfair, and Juri’s damage nerfs on her j.HP and cr.HP). A universal walk speed boost (even slightly) would be great as well. If those could be looked into, that would be awesome. Outside of that, I’d say let it rock.
As such, I’ll list some aesthetic changes I think could help.
Please find any way you can to allow quick combos to be disabled without needing to buy the Combo Editor. That’s one of the only “silly” things remaining in the game, in my opinion. It hasn’t affected me personally, but it’s one of those things that just looks “goofy” when it happens.
A Player Match option online with the ability to immediately rematch would be phenomenal, similar to the UMvC3 setup.
A few things as far as aesthetics go: I think, would help though. For gem selection on the vs. screen, there could be some sort of mini-description for them. I know that seems like a very minor thing, but what it would do is help out those who aren’t certain what their gem set is, or even have one, to choose something basic at the very least.
Actually, anything that could help to make the gem selection process easer would be a big help. I’m a fan of the what the system is trying to do (and I honestly wasn’t at ll in the beginning), but the selection process could be made more user-friendly, I think. A “Tournament Set” might be a good idea as well, but I imagine that would be hard to implement without a ton of input as to what that set would be.
I don’t know how possible this is, but a couple more stages (2-3) using some of the alternate tracks (Bison/Juri and Jin/Xiaoyu tracks) would be awesome.
Finally, is it possible to force a standard colors option on opponents? Again, this hasn’t bothered me for the most part (outside of the really… let’s just call them “annoying people” that like to color everything radioactive purple), but it could temper a lot of people’s issues playing people online, as that is a very common complaint.
Other than that, there isn’t too much that 2013 hasn’t addressed already that I can think of. I’m looking forward to it and I’m glad that the game wasn’t just dropped off the face of the Earth after its very rocky start."
