The game is incredibly fun, and there's a ton to do in matches, but ultimately, no matter who you're playing, and how your team is built the game is *almost* always about getting them to block something on the ground and then setting for an IAD - usually off an assist - and then combo into repeat. You CAN play differently and you can def win - but at the core of it right now, the "right" way to play is blockstring - mix - combo - repeat, and we're seeing the top tier characters just continue to pull away from the rest of the cast.
Not trying to sound like the game is bad, or that there's NOTHING to the game but what I said above, for 95% of us the game isnt as simple as I make it out, and we arent playing at the level that boils away so many other options - I'm damn sure not.. but still, I feel like the patch we have looming is coming at an excellent time. I'm crossing my fingers that this patch and the new characters REALLY shake things up. I think they will.
