I did. That was the exception to the "mostly single button presses" thing. However, that then leads into another issue the game has, which is that the scaling is ridiculous.

i think its like pretty close to sf4's rules: it just subtracts 10% per move i think?

The grappler's SPD barely does any more damage than a basic throw :effort:

pretty sure you can tech it too? or special throws can tech regular throws. talos aa grab can actually tech a ground throw, somehow.

they should show cooldowns right after you use a move for the first time in a match but hide them otherwise

cooldowns dont change, so once someone uses a special move, you are just internalizing the cooldown timer. the only thing not showing the cooldowns does is hide what the persons loadout is until they use it, and there arent even icons that tell you that anyway.

basically, the intent as far as i can tell is to hide what the other person has set up to create sort of a metagame/information baiting situation, but since the special moves are so similar and not very powerful, i dont see this happening.

its supposed to be sort of like how in a card game, lets say hearthstone, you see the guy is a warlock, so you might think its zoolock, or handlock, but you can't assume until they make a couple of actions. but unfortunately this has the side effect of also causing you to play to as many options as possible in most cases, which is a restrained, less action oriented style of play, which makes the game slower.

if they want to go for a metagame heavy thing, they need more varied special moves, and it should still show the cooldowns after you use a move for the first time, same with kinect stuff.

Man, I sure am glad they've done nothing but give Edge more options since launch. Because that's what he was always lacking.

actually thats what the game needs because its boring hth
