Please forgive me Sasuke. I'm going to try and dial back my anger here.
No hard feelings. I'll just ignore that post. Just don't get so emotional from now on
I just don't get it. I don't understand what's the appeal of publicly defacing the game and art that the team has carefully crafted? This feature has plagued fighting games like a disease. Mortal Kombat will feature this trolling crap next mark my words.
What's so great about this?
Well, if done right costumization gives you a great amount of options to make your character look unique without losing his traits. After 2 years of looking at the same getup over and over again the characters look kind of boring to me, so I want to bring in my own ideas. That's why people were asking for new defaults in T7. People were tired of looking at the same Xiaoyu outfit for 10 years.
Tekken 6 costumization was great and had a great amount of items that were unique to a character. TTT2 made the mistake and gave every character the same generic items, yet people still arranged some interesting stuff out of that.
I don't really know why one would be completely against costumization. People have interesting ideas and defaults are not a sacred thing that is going to be ruined by people touching it. If they limit the amount of troll outfits and neon colors, fewer people will "publicly deface the game", don't you think?
