People think that they can design better changes. The same people who give characters one-hit instakill no startup no recovery supers in MUGEN.
Not even that complicated. ST is a fighting game institution. Yes it has flaws, but those flaws are what give it character.
If I wanted to play a game with a fully-competitive cast, I'd play GG. If I wanted to play a game with hideous art, I'd play SC3. If I wanted to play a game where every character was neutered to complete ineffectuality, I'd play T4.
I should note that I love Sirlin, and
bought his book. And that I don't want to unleash a horrible and pointless "What is real ST?" sub-discussion.
I will buy this game day 1. Capcom will get my money, and I'll get to play ST as it has always been with (hopefully) a wide selection of online opponents. Win win for everyone.
