The scoop on the new ratio system in CvS2

[Force]

I was talking to someone who played the game at E3 today, and this is the info I got. You still get 4 ratio points to distribute, and you can assign ratios to each character you select. For instance a ratio 3 king and a ratio 1 terry for a team. However, you are limited to 3 characters per team, so no more of the the 4 R1 cheesyness. Other interesting bits of info was that the game uses 6 attack buttons instead of 4 and R1 characters were weakened a lot...I'll post more info if I come across it...

VERY interesting... so you are FORCED to only have 3 members on your team. And it does use 6 buttons!

Still, adjustable ratios are my cup of tea... feel the force of R4 Dan Hibiki and shiver in FEAR!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0">

Just kidding, of course... hee hee hee.

You have to wonder if the extra moves are taking up more animation, and that's why they turn it down to three per team, but big deal! Three is fine with me.

You can't have any more then 3 characters per team, but you aren't forced into that number. You can also have a 2 or 1 man team as well.

what do you mean the r1 were weakened a lot.
you mean they are weakened NOW, with this new
system (meaning ANY character picked as a r1
would be weaker than normal) or do you
mean the classic r1's were weakened (blanka,king,yuri etc..)
just wondering.

I think that sounds very good.

Watch out... Here comes Ratio 4 Rugal! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

This should help Yuri as well (Ratio 1 wasn't very kind to her in CvS 1).

IMO, the Flexible Ratio system will fix a major gripe. Hopefully the Groove Point system will be fine-tuned. WTF does it give you Ds for some of the normal attacks?

[Soul Dragon]

I HATED the Groove point system myself...it took the fun out of fighting, if you worried about such things. It looks like they have taken the system out entirely in CvS2, tho. I wont miss it.

But the new ratio system is GREAT! No four man teams, I can have a proper Ryo/Yuri team or a Ratio 4 Zangief!! Can't wait!
