Crazy, you both are crazy![/sarcasm]
It's fine if you like it, but it doesn't feel right to me. I'll keep playing it though, not like I can get my money back now anyway.
I'll vouch for that.
Nevertheless, both Street Fighter X Tekken, and Tekken X Street Fighter discussion should likely go in their own thread.
Although...
I can see where you're coming from, but I don't think Tekken Xross was a concern when making SCV. Daishi the director for SCV is ad admitted fan of Street Fighter 3rd Strike, which contained/added most of the elements that are now in SCV. Somehow I think the changes were his idea and that corporate likely rolled with his little tribute because; hey, it's working well for Street Fighter 4... why not ride on Capcom's coattails?
I didn't mean all the characters play the same as each-other, I meant we'll be seeing characters played the same way across different people, button mashers aside. Example: Alpha Patsuka. Pretty much any time you see a stun, pop-up, or his A+G throw they're going to be followed up with 1A+B,B 214~3aB. Every. Time.
As for the long combos. While some characters have pulled out 17 Hit combos on me (looking at you Yoshimitsu) sometimes that's also me adding up the multiple inescapable combos repeated one after another. So it's more: "7 Hits" + "4 Hits" + "4 Hits" = "I'm trying to guard!" and "Why won't you roll out of the way of that obvious attack!?"

Viola's style (and Z.W.E.I.'s for that matter) have no place in Soulcalibur. I realize I'm talking about a game with living swords when I say this but: Soulcalibur has been more grounded in (relatively) realistic weapon-based combat than any other series. (save Bushido Blade) Magic, summoning, they aren't real they don't belong. Cervantes was already pushing it with his teleport/floating crap.
Seigfried may have used a blade as wide as he is, but he at least swung it like it had some actually weight behind it (until SCV of course when he can be used as a rush-down character with speed that would make Taki jealous.)
Plus, I have undying hate for that personalityless void of a "character" that is Amy/Viola. At least Amy used a weapon, now there's nothing redeeming about her, or her fighting style, in this game. I hope Aeon eats her alive and screaming, and not in the good way.

I'll admit. I complain a lot but it's because I'm a fan and I don't like what they've done with the series. I'm not saying "I'm right, you're wrong" just stating my point of view.
