Nah Saki's not cheating, she's just like Dhalsim if you didn't make her annoying and terrible. Using her M charge and comboing with grenades and H charge and lazer at long range can cause some serious damage, but many characters have ways to get through it.
New impressions from Mirai:
Frank West is interesting, in a good way. Lots of his attacks can setup for fun stuff but it relies in an awful lot of advanced planning. And there's something appropriate about doing the Real Mega Buster super against MegaMan Volnut.
Zero is love. He's pretty much straight from Mega Man X4, and they keep making him more awesome. His gun charges, Rekouken seems super risky but its a great combo finisher, and he's got lots of movement powers.
Gold Lightan is a pretty hefty powerhouse since he takes up two character slots, and I like how he's still grabbable by lots of the counter-attacks and grapple moves, Frank's command throw for example. I don't like the two-part super-finisher but I guess someone had to have it.
PTX-041 is actually kind of funny, in a strange way, he's very shooty but his guns fall off if you use them too much. Lots of his melee attacks rule.
Mega Man at first was impossible to figure out, but gets a lot better when you realize that his heavy attack is his blaster, and L-Button is also Heavy, and it charges. I still can't make left or right of his combos though, since he's basically got the three buttons and their fierce versions.
I love the story. I'm going to write such a review for this game. The goofy way that Capcom just threw their hands up and went, "Oh fuck it, there's no way we can make this game possibly be anything other than ridiculous." So Ryu shorukens a Chryatis in the Lost Planet arctic environment. In a karate gi. Viewtiful Joe goes back to the normal world and sees toys for Casshern and Yatterman. Frank West takes a picture of the Tatsunoko characters and shows it to Jessie back in the Willamette Mall. It's so delightfully goofy.
Kajin's pretty mean, kinda slow but he's powerful and has both a counterattack and a superarmor attack.
