Here's hoping the next title, whenever it occurs, improves upon the mobility options. Armor is fun and all that, but I'd prefer more tools to help me approach folks than just that and jump ins. If they dabble in either KoF dodge rolls or standard projectile cancelling though it'll be a nightmare to rebalance the whole cast and would require a major overhaul of movesets. In the long run it'd be a whole new game if they did that alone. Feels like there should be a better way though than that. Plus it adds the issue that the easier it is to approach the higher the likelihood of long combos and vortexes. Wakeups would need even more options....
See, this is why folks really need to play a lot of games IMO. You start to realize that each game is its own beast and you can't just "mix and match" parts from games together. It all starts with the movement then flows into how that effects combo length and the whole Oki scene. Expanding on the footsies of Injustice is something I dream of them doing, but know is something so fundamentally designed into the current product that any sort of additions outside of moves with startup projectile invincibility would be very damaging to the balance of returning movesets and meta.
Cancels would be something i'd like to see worked in at meter cost though. You'd just have to put meter scaling on combos that utilize them to prevent net positive meter build per cancel combo.
siiiiiiigh...its late and I'm designing fighting game systems again. Time for bed.
