I will be honest, I always found the juggle between brave and damage a little much. NT manages to regulate that somewhat with brave attacks doing some damage, but if I want an arena fighter... I will sooner play Gundam than Dissidia.

Ok, as someone that has been around an following the FGC/Smash almost 20 years now. I have the immense pleasure of telling you that it’s not nearly as bad as you make it to be.

If anything, I get the feeling that you are mistaking passion for malice but that is another topic that I will not get into.

On the topic...…

Ohhhh.... ok that hurt. I mean really, do we want X-factor again?

The problem being, as Angelic rightly points out, with eSports being a thing and with mad cash on the line... that muddles the equation quite a bit.
You know how it is, some just want to get that cash quick... and this infinite can be a money maker if you just let something this simple rock.

It’s a massive problem.

True, which is what really killed them over the years. For something like that they were shooting for a distinct realism (which is the only word that I have for it, so bare with me) to sprites which required more detail.

To be honest, I am not so convinced that 2D sprite work would have come out more expensive. I think…

Maybe, but there is a more likely reason to that.
If you have you ever worked in a manufacturing company, you know that they have their own set of checks for products. It was likely caught in that QA check and they adjusted the procress on their end of it while Nintendo figure out a quick solution to the issue for…

It would be called a Manufacturing Error... because that is what it really is. An error in how the Joy-con was manufactured that left it with an unprotected antenna.

If you care to look at the article, the reporter when out an bought another Left joy-con from Amazon and took a look at the “guts” to see if anything…

Ok, Ian... this is pretty insignificant due to the details of SFV. Basically, once you hit 1hp in SFV, you can’t be chipped out by any special move in the game. The only way you can kill someone on the defensive (chipping out) is to use a Critical Art (the super) or hit them clean. There is NO in-between with SFV…
