What you have a problem with is the meter building not the actual breaker. Characters like Kabal could build mad meter from doing ridiculous shit, which was a character/meter building problem. The actual breaker idea(use two bars) was solid.
Reduce meter gain from all sources is all I can think of.
Too many breakers? So you would rather combo after combo with no way out like MvC or something? I think building meter should be slown down just a tad, but I'm glad NRS doesn't actually listen to us about gameplay mechanics.
How about it doesn't let you break the combo unless you have the 2 bars when the combo started?
See, now that's a good idea in my opinion. I don't know how many people will agree with that or think it's ass backwards, but it's most certainly a different take on things. I'm all for that.
Regarding your first line, I think most people wanted breaker to save their asses, which is the sensible thing to do. EX moves weren't all that good.
Actually I'd like it if it was more like the BURST system in GG/P4A.
I don't play those games, so I can't make a comment, BUT you did just post a good idea about not breaking unless you already had the two bars. I like that. +1
LOL its not a bad idea as long as we don't have another Cyrax on our hands. That is up to NRS.
He just might be on to something with that idea, huh?
lol, Cyrax would like that. Starts a combo when the opponent has no bars that leads into a reset where they're like 1% away from having two bars and they can't break and they lose their first health bar. Yeah, eff that.
"How 'bout 'No' you freaky God bastard?"Make a counter breaker, if the opponent tries to break, you use 2 meters to break their break attempt.
