A lot of it has to do with not being able to compete. Can you say that a person not using kara jabs against an expert kara jabber has any chance of winning? It's nearly impossible to win in that situation. Even if you know the game inside and out, if you're not using kara jabs against someone who is, you're not going to be successful.
You're right, if another fighting game had this tactic it would be nearly unplayable. But it's not in other games, it's in UMK3. And it works for UMK3. Something about the game just makes kara jabs not only work, but improve the gameplay. Maybe it's the run or universal same normals.
Maybe so, but like I said, there's less than a handful of players who kara/glitch jabs at it's full potential. It may be boring to watch, but so are games like Tekken. Once you understand how to fully utilize the jabs and how to beat them, your level will improve tremendously and you'll see all the mind games that comes with the glitch jabs.
I'm not going to spend too much more time on this. I rarely play the game anymore, and it's not like I have an offline UMK3 scene down here in GA. I just think you guys are giving up too easily. I've had millions of matches where Arion and myself are glitch/kara jabbing, and the games are intense, fun, and there's so many mind games and footsies going on it's amazing. The problem is you need 2 players using them at the same level, otherwise the player who is using them better is going to overshadow the other player every time.
