    What are your thoughts on the GEM system?

    I think this game looks like a crappy flash game as you all know but the GEM system has got my interest, reminds me of the system used in Alpha 3.

    Not really sure about it - I bought Marvel vs Capcom 3 in the thought that I could play a bit differently to playing Street Fighter IV normally. But it was more button mashing and I sold it off then they release Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 - rendering my copy outdated after less than a year. Would take more convincing for me to buy Capcom games like that again.

    Yep, i made a thread about capcon getting greedy. I sold my MVC too, got bored to much lag and i hate the button layout.

    The gem system is pretty much Capcom's way of having players balance the game out for themselves.

    It's a deep system, but there won't be anything that's going to play the game for you out right. There's trade offs and conditions.

    A lot of people are probably going to shun it at first for tournaments. We'll see how it plays out. You don't have to equip gems if you don't want to even though you cannot disable them.

    ^ We just dont need retailer specific gems, like buy from Walmart for a particular gem you cant get any place else. that would be messed up, and gem DLC too.....

    Seriously, i would rather buy the capcom version, the tekken version is going to be stupid imo if it has the dumb bounce systems that give you enough time to run to the shops and back when you get caught in a combo.

    Thanks for the link. About the BOUND system in tekken, it adds a new layer of strategy to the game, I think that you will appreciate it more as you play more.

    Im hardcore tekken from PSX days, gave up after the bound system and noob combos ruined. if you like it though then play it, tekken aint for me anymore, its became a proper button bashing game, even watching tournament play is painful.
