So nerfing every character = improved gameplay? Adding a lorry full of joke characters = fun?
They added absolutely nothing in Bleach 2nd to warrant a sequel. It was at most a 200 point DLC.
Okay, diminishing returns. Welcome to fighting game sequels, I guess. Let me flip this around: Why on earth would anybody pick broken as hell Bleach 1st over 2nd? Have you forgotten how unfun it was to play against Kenpachi, Uryu, Aizen, and Yachiru players in 1st? Or the completely bare bones wi-fi interface? Infinite combos galore? "Disappointing" is one thing, but to say 2nd wasn't at the very least an improvement is flat-out crazy.
Joke characters never bothered me because I don't care about the source material. At the very least, every character from the first game returned, just about everything was properly balanced, and at least a handful of perfectly usable characters were added, more than what gets added in a new installment of most mainstream fighters. Just because there were 8 or so joke characters added
in addition to other more substantial improvements shouldn't detract from the overall package.
Anyway
Is there a better scan for this preview? You'd think that the people who post these to the Internet first would at least try to make them readable.
