So they are doing some more balancing of the gameplay. First I'm glad to hear they are making the harder to input moves easier to do on the controller. It is downright stupid that I should fight the controller while also fighting someone else. I'm not good at 360 rotations, but I can do pretty well at the actual combat. I shouldn't be punished for d-pad skills. This is a welcome change.
He also mentions a lot of tweaks to balance, namely leaving the "top" characters alone and bringing others up with some adjustments. That said, I hope they nerf Akuma a bit. Nerf him in some respect so that he's not some overpowering addition in tournament, then make it so I don't need to input that difficult button code just to pick him.
Anyway, this is really looking like the ultimate version of this eternally revised game. Seems like playing as "old" versions will still be allowed, though probably not in the ladder. Sounds good to me.
