>>10687489>never actually played the gameThat comment wasn't a slight against you. That's a description of the gameplay with the old system. There is no "teamwork". As soon as you use your special, the game pauses for your opening animation, the screen is cluttered with effects, any enemies you would have hit are now KO'd so you can't build meter traditionally. The only thing you can do at that point was just spam your taunt then do your special when it was your turn. All the combat mechanics didn't matter since you only needed to press taunt and special.
The game is in a far better state after the change. It's now an actual functioning beat'em up.
