Nice meeting you last night Mog. We had a good small group of people at the end of that night, and was a lot of fun!
1)The focus attack in general does not consume meter. If I am attacking, and do NOT cancel a special/normal into focus...then a player can do it all the time. If you do cancel a special(shoryu, hadoken, etc) or normal (fierce punch, low forward/whatever) then it will eat half your super meter. This meter is totally different from your Revenge Meter(big fire circle on the side).
2)I agree with charge characters and the focus attack. The only way you could take advantage of the focus attack with guile/vega for example, is by charge partitioning...and I don't even wanna get into that since I don't play charge characters.. lol.
3)I love the new system. The only thing I would change in the game for the console version, is to make Rufus slower...or deal less damage than he currently does..and make Viper and Fuerte do more damage. It sucks that 2 of the newest characters are low low tier...
Cool. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine. I know Baberific is heading over today too. Have fun!
