But in MK you can't do a 1 bar meter combo and completely deplete the life bar. The tag in that game is completely different than MK9 was. And inb4 Cyrax, fuck his reset.
Yeah exactly, I'm saying UMvC3 is very broken and imbalanced, but it's fun so people play it anyway (same as MvC2). Games balance themselves anyway, patches just complicate things or end up making things less balanced.
But that's another topic...
My point is that people should stop worrying about balance and "fairness" and have more fun. As long as the game doesn't have fundamental issues (like P1 advantage with hit collisions) then the rest should fall into place.
