The auto combo complaint has never made sense to me. If you’re losing to someone only using auto combos, you’re probably not good enough for it to really matter anyways.
It will matter less as people get better.. but right now people are getting way too much mileage out of it.
"If you're getting hit why does it matter if its auto or not."
Well, in anime fighters, execution typically matters. You can close your eyes and mash with zero risk of a drop. I wonder if any of the people who think they arent dumb ever played a game like GG. Its not automatic that people are going to hit every link in a game like that once you get opened up. Combine that with zero defensive bursts... its just dumb.
Like i said it will matter less as time goes on, but no.... they arent necessary. At all.
Funny story. I was getting bodied trying to actually play, so i started looking at my phone and just mashing light while i waited for the match to end. I killed two of the dudes characters without even looking at the tv. I dont care how bad the guy was. Thats fucking dumb.
Its not nearly as bad as the utility of superdash though.. this game has a bunch of realiy cool anime style game mechanics... that they've invalidated with other noob friendly stuff.
Hey lets have an air recovery where you can recover if your opponent messes up their combo and your hitstun resets.... but also lol nevermind auto combo.
Lets have air dashes and super jumps and iad and a bunch of cool movement options... but also lol superdash tracks everything and beats all of them
