"Our goal was to make it so that the player could check their health bar and Burst gauge in a single glance.
As a result, however, the player could no longer look at a fixed place on the screen to check their gauge, meaning they had to search for it.
We've heard your feedback and reconsidered our own thinking, so we are planning to change the UI's movement."

I'm not sure why it took more than a conversation to realize that having your RISC meter be small and non-static in location, is counter intuitive to quick referencing. Doubly so when fighting game UI has been mostly a "solved" problem for actual decades.

In battle UI kinda. When it comes to stuff with, say, BlazBlue levels of mechanics there's definitely an issue of where to put bars/how to layer them. Menu UI, not at all.

Character specific meters and additional UI elements aren't what they flubbed though. This was basic stuff; Health bar, RISC/Guard meter, and Burst which ArcSys has already worked out the kinks with.

Also, they should bring back the miniature character that exists where the portrait location would usually be.

It's probably a mercy that they didn't go into their intended ideal for Potemkin.

I liked in BlazBlue when Tager actually managed to be mid tier because they gave him tons of good magnet tricks and they immediately nerfed him into the ground even though he wasn't dominating or anything.

It has a Steam Store page and an estimated release date of "summer". It's the only first party game being directly published on PC by Sony, other Sony published PS4-exclusives coming to PC (like Death Stranding and Beyond Two Souls) were handled by other publishers (505 Games and self-published respectively, in those two examples).

There's also rumors of a Bloodborne PC port, but those are intermingled with rumors of Bloodborne Remastered for PS5, or possibly Bloodborne 2. I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out that Bloodborne Remastered ends up being true, and that ends up being the PC release.

I wonder what's going to happen with all the announcements this year. I still somewhat suspect they were going to announce a proper modern port of mvc2 with that tournament of champions thing. I just can't imagine them playing the Dreamcast version, or even on an arcade board, in an event sponsored directly by Capcom. Plus they would need to clear the rights with Disney too right?

I also wonder if there will even be an Evo next year. They kicked wiz out but, like, he was the face of Evo for a long time. Going to be hard to get past that I'd think

It really feels like someone at ArcSys doesnt want grapplers to be good, and like, they realize they don't have to put a traditional grappler in, right? Like neither Melty nor Unist have a traditional grab game character. Kouma and Sacchin in melty use grabs but they aren't 360 commands that immediately destroy you if you guess wrong, they're just part of their combo and mixup games. Same with Mika in unist. They don't have to put in a giant guy with 2x the health of everyone else, no dash, and who does half your hp if he gets in on you to try and make up for that.

Probably the same thing that's happening with all the E3 announcements - just dribbling out by themselves over a period of months.

They still have the Cannons and Markman so there's still the community connection, and there's enough money and corporate partnerships sunk in that I suspect that the show'll go on even if it won't end with a Riki-Oh clip anymore.

It's weird cause they've done it for other franchises. Kanji in ultimax is not a traditional grappler he's just got a bunch of command grabs to pepper into his combos and a lot of gimmicks to force himself to get in on you even after he throws you.

I follow fighting game tourny streams and watch as much of EVO as I can every year and I literally could not tell you who Mr. Wiz was in a line up nor do I think I've heard him speak.
