if he was the Chipp player, then lol...
I enjoyed Sirlin's article. I disagree with him regarding Accent Core, but I agree with him regarding pretty much every other point. Particularly the option select stuff. I'm not a fan of option selects in general, so the fact that Xrd teaches you them in it's tutorial/mission mode makes me wonder if Street Fighter V will do the same thing...assuming it even has a tutorial.
whats funny about that is how much he praises Reload and attack AC but RELOAD WAS RIDDLED WITH OS'. Plus they took away one of the most powerful OS' from the series in AC, but of course he didn't talk about that... I personally don't have a problem with OS' unless it becomes the main focus of your game like in SF4, but I can understand why someone wont like it but OS' are not a big deal in GG series...
