MECHANICS
What this game has:
Chains
Tag system
Tech rolls
Launchers
3 stock super bar - EX moves and tag cancels use 1 and supers take 2 bars.
Chargeable specials (seem to be a different way to do ex/supers without meter)
Tekken characters can do their own unique strings with the first 4 buttons
So far I’m digging the mechanics. I’m not liking the floaty jumps though. It looks like there’s no Ultras (good!), and I like the 3 Stock Super Bar. Hard to say if it revolves around chains as much as SF4 because in this game it looks like you can combo however you want. Hopefully THE NETCODE WILL BE GOOD.
I too like the lack of ultras, but what im not liking is the reports of meterless supers. I’m not sure if i read it right but it seems like you do a hadoken motion then hold down the punch and it charges for 3 levels then releases it for 0 meter. Seems a little cheap to me but then again I haven’t played it yet. Excited to see more!
Supermoves only require 2 cells of the meter, so I assume those team ultras will be the move that takes all 3 cells. By now they are probably altered a bit.
