I LOVE SOULCALIBUR!!! But I don't like the things they've been stealing from other fighting games since 5. We don't need a super move power bar, it isn't capcom. We ESPECIALLY don't need that red colored move that puts you into a QTE that, without heavy research, results in random conclusions. Some standard moves, Mitsarugi being the most egregious, apply this red counter effect. It absolutely breaks the flow of a fight, adds nothing good, and is akin to being that guy who grabs too many times in a round if you spam it. These are old-school house rules that online mp kids don't get bc it's ALL about winning no matter what now. Not having a good time. Being in the room with all your opponents used to mean fighting under a certain understanding you won't spam or pull some bs. And you didn't bc you liked your friends or didn't want to get beat up yourself. Fighting games were ruined by the internet.
