I said that's ONLY one of the reasons I don't take the game seriously. I'm actually pretty picky and have high standards when it comes to games I take seriously because I devote too much of my time to games I take seriously. I cant take them all seriously else I'll have no life.
P4A has reasonable balance, but there are some wacky characters and some characters with questionable designs. This is also one of the more gimmicky fighting games out there.
The game is fun. I love Yu. And it's also very fun to watch, and as the best style out of all the fighting games ever.
Also. I don't play Brawl lol.
I also give Aksys/Arcsys a lot of **** (in a friendly way) because pretty much all their games have questonable yet reasonable balance, with gimmicks all over the place, and are generally very deep, and only have a small, but very faithful following after the initial hype wears off and the true fans are there to stay.
EDIT: The only really negative trend i've been seeing with Aksys/Arcsys games is that it seems like each game they put out is getting more and more simple and streamlined - case and point - P4A/BB.
