I don't give a SHIT that they are reusing assets. Fuck, developers do it all the time. Injustice 2 is a mishmash of reused assets applied to new characters. I'm not going in expecting brand new animations because at the end of the day, I just want the game to come out.
SF5 took the time and effort to reanimate pretty much everything, and no one appreciated it.
T7 reuses 90% of its animations, and people claim it's the greatest looking current FG.
So, I say, Capcom, reduce, reuse, recycle all day. Don't try to be a hero.
(P.S. Those Alex animations from TvC are just sitting around waiting to be used...just sayin'.)
