How does being good at reversing take away from how good someone is at the game? It's a skill. The problem is too many people would just spam hitting the reversal button instead of timing it. Or they were too dumb to know not to immediately grapple but instead know to change up your timings so that you're not reversed as easily.I've read some of the comments on IGN and it's not surprising that people are pissed, the new reversal system has the people who claimed they were great at playing theses games pressed. The reversal system is going to weed out all the spammers online and actually make them have to play honest.
I do wish they'd break apart strike and grapple reverse buttons to add more of a curve to being good at reversing. I always like to start off defensive to learn my opponents move patterns and then would start to take over once I had them figured out.
