As to HD, countless match vids out there (and personal experiences) where one is leading by a mile and yet at the end gets tagged by one light attack (usually cr.B into s.B) and its over. Yes you can avoid special moves, jumpins etc. but how long can you avoid not getting tagged by a single light attack? How easily will you see it coming?
The Drive Cancel system is the balanced version of HD imo, they should have just left it at that.
its just because the HD have the auto dash thing
In 2002/ 2002um high damage combos existed but they were hard to do
actually to be able to do a good combo u must be really experienced in the game and very good at execution
If HD scares people because its easy to connect then its better to make it like the old system where u have to dash after pressing BC and connect to a combo and also the meter time wont allow you to do more than 4/5 cancels
I believe KOF02UM is the best KOF of all time and really wishing for an HD remake.
