Interesting presentation so far, thanks for sharing.
Idea's I liked- (I'll keep a list as I go through)
tap-to-set vs scroll-and-choose for control settings: It's something so obvious yet so many devs miss it. Just embarassing.
delay-to-pause- another good idea. You have to hold pause for half a second in versus mode in order to pause. Makes accidental pauses almost non-existent.
18 minutes in... still can't figure out how to use the presentation tech,...uuuuggghhh
Option to have stages automatically random select between rematches- a feature Injustice needs badly.
Match replays- definitely a must-have nowadays
Use GGPO- this netcode is proven, and really good. At this point it might as well be an industry standard.
"If you're game is going to be a broken pile of junk when people find out about it eventually, it's always a broken pile of junk even before they know about it." - argument against not including data like frame data and hitbox display. This is good, I remember the Tekken creator said they wanted to keep frame data a secret just to keep players from supposedly "exploiting" it by knowing too much.
Hitboxes while in hit-stun should be the same as standing-idle hitboxes to prevent dumb whiffs. YES!!!! (F*-ing Batgirl...)
Unblockable's shouldn't be still unblockable if the opponent is in blockstun (Great idea. This would have prevented Cyrax's dumb resets!)
Do not allow more than 1 thing to hit a character per frame (this would also prevent alot of broken resets, particularly high/low unblockables)
Allow jumping character's hitbox to go slightly below the floor when they do a jumping attack so it is not impossible to do a jump attack on low hitbox characters (would prevent Mileenas and Sonya's D4's from becoming ridiculously hard to jump-punch on)
Always allow sloppy-DP motions. One solution he says is to put in a hard limit where only one extra motion is allowed. Still allows for sloppy inputs, however players have a work-around to give them more precision.
"Automatically getting hit more, as a penalty for getting hit alot, is stupid"- this is a good indictment of Street Fighter 4's stun system.
And my FAVORITES:
"NEVER REQUIRE THE PLAYER TO HIT THREE BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME FOR ANYTHING EVER."
"THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO MAKE A CHARACTER USE A HALF-CIRCLE MOTION FOR AN ATTACK."
"DOUBLE QUARTER CIRCLE IS NOT NECESSARY, STAHP."
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT. THANK YOU!!!
