I still think there are a few problems that Team Ninja hasn't even made apparent as issues with their plethora of changes, edits and fixes that still warrant discussion. Let's compile a list together? It's late, but I have a few small things that irritate me:
1. Replays
I think the biggest issue with replays correlates to the lack of descriptions. If I download a replay, I can't see who played as who. I recently went back to my replays and I have over 20 of them and it takes sheer memory to remember what matches were mine, which ones mattered, and who fought who if I downloaded multiple replays in a single go from the leader board.
It's nice that people that aren't in the top 100 have more options for uploading now, but the lack of descriptions kind of suck.
2. Screenshots
This feature really isn't my dish, but I've captured some pretty cool photos, and I think it really sucks that there isn't a "next" option. I have to back out of the photo and select another one, and wait for the photos to load again. It's a pretty sluggish feature that could use some fine-tuning if you're not converting or uploading to your PC.
3. No Online Tag (co-op), No Tag Survival
Honestly, tag mode isn't really my forte either, but I hear a lot of people complaining about this one. Did Team Ninja ever really explain why they couldn't add this to the game? My only guess is lag, but then again Tag Survival is missing as well (but fuck that mode).
4. Power-Blows in survival
Not only do I kinda hate survival, but power-blows only extend that hate. So not only am I forced to play the most boring, biggest walled map in the game... if I get smashed with a PB ONCE facing ONE of my hundred opponents I'll be extremely lucky to survive. I think that power-blows should be removed from survival. Then again I'd be even happier if they just removed survival so I wouldn't ever have to think about it again. XD
5. No DLC Compatibility Packs
This has been a huge deal since the release of the first DLC pack. I can't see the outfit you paid 100 points for, and you can't see my fiend ass looking Ryu if you didn't bother to buy it.
I don't see why compatibility packs can't be released. With a 400 a pack price tag, it should most definitely be included. I don't like most of the DLC, so I'm kinda thankful I don't have to see it, but what a low-blow to the people that paid that kind of money for those recolors and costume swaps.
Post-Patch Issues (please do no patter on about character buffs or nerfs in this particular thread as they are being detailed enough in others)
I have only played around with the patch twice on my friends PS3, and I like most of the gameplay changes even being an Alpha player, but I do not like:
1. Accept/Decline on Ranked matches
This was a horrible idea that isn't completely Team Ninja's fault because it was highly requested, much to my fear as a higher rank (which doesn't mean shit) and an Alpha player. The connection status is something I can understand, but it's online, what do you expect? If you play RANKED matches you are testing your skills by fight a random player online. When you can see someone's rank or name, it's now encouraged to back out of the fight if you don't want to fight them. If you play ranked, you deserve to fight that S+ because you took the risk.
It's not fair to the players who actually give a fuck, and if this feature stays, I'll probably dismiss myself from all ranked activity.
What's your beef? And how can you contribute to save Team Ninja from another 40 grand patch? Which would require them to listen as well...
