and really they should just let Marvel 3 rock, infinites and all. I mean it's Marvel.
This is the excuse I keep hearing, and I can never understand why trying to uphold the legacy of a bad game (Purely from a design standpoint) is a free pass to let a potentially great fighting game never reach that potential. You're too concerned with making it "Marvel" than you are making it "good." This purist bullcrap is half the reason TvC never took off (The other half was that it was a Wii game) and why Marvel 3 probably won't ever reach its potential. The selling point, even back when Vanilla was about to launch, was how crazy and unfair the game is. Balance? Nobody's balanced, that's what makes it balanced. At least, that's their version of it.
I'm sorry, but I'm just really sick of this attitude that just because it's a follow up to Marvel 2, it's alright if it makes the same mistakes. Unless you wouldn't mind if SFIV brought back random damage and stun values again.
