definitely, all figting games need a trial system so one can learn about the game engine. its such a no brainer, god only knows why mk9 didnt have them. instead i spammed away through story mode because i had no way in game to learn the characters. sure, the moves list, i hear you, but no - i dont wanna pause and press down down to get to the motherfucking combo menu. why cant i just press select to see that shit? there must be an interactive learning system to overcome the initial learning phases ESPECIALLY if youre going to force me to play characters i do not give a fuck about. why did street fighter 2 not need a trial system? because i wasnt forced to play a boring ass story mode with characters i dont like. then again, no one forced me to play story mode either - but then how do i know i like Csz or QC????????? HUH???!
