+ Longer Guard Power Gauge length (so it's harder to get Guard Crushed).<br /> | |||
+ All attacks, excluding Super Combos, do more damage.<br /> | |||
- No air block.<br /> | |||
- No ground recovery roll.<br /> | |||
- No Alpha Counters.<br /> | |||
- No Taunting (except for Dan)<br /> | |||
- X-ISM characters have only one predetermined Super Combo.<br /> | |||
- They take slightly more damage from attacks (blocked or not).<br /> | |||
</big> | |||
===A-ISM=== | ===A-ISM=== | ||
<big> | |||
+ Air blocking.<br /> | |||
+ Both ground and air recoveries<br /> | |||
+ Alpha Counters (these cost 1 level of SC power and 1 notch of your Guard Power Gauge)<br /> | |||
+ Taunting (once per round only, excluding Dan).<br /> | |||
+ SC gauge charges up faster than X-ISM's SC gauge.<br /> | |||
+ Access to all Super Combos (excluding Dhalsim).<br /> | |||
- Damage per hit is average (less than in X-ISM).<br /> | |||
- Guard Power Gauge size depends on character (certain characters are easy to Guard Crush).<br /> | |||
</big> | |||
===V-ISM=== | ===V-ISM=== | ||
<big> | |||
+ Air blocking.<br /> | |||
+ Both ground and air recoveries.<br /> | |||
+ Alpha Counters (these cost 50% of a full OC gauge and drain 1 notch from your Guard Power Gauge).<br /> | |||
+ Taunting (once per round only, excluding Dan).<br /> | |||
+ Determine which range of attacks you'll use (far or close), by leaving the controller neutral or holding it back when you press Punch or Kick (Does not apply to all characters).<br /> | |||
+ OC gauge also charges very quickly.<br /> | |||
+ Use Original Combos instead of Super Combos.<br /> | |||
- Damage per hit is lower than in any other mode.<br /> | |||
- It costs half an OC gauge to use an Alpha Counter.<br /> | |||
