god i hope so.. that was an essentail part to fighting

i really hope so...i loved the run

God, I hope not. I never used the run feature. And when people would run at me, I usually uppercutted them.

lol good one Bezou. i found that didnt work much since anyone with half a brain would run up to you and combo. like the cpu did. but i guess it would work sometimes. Either way a run or dash of some sort would be good for deception. it would make the game faster, i know deadly alliance had the back dash thing for some ppl with some styles but that was more defensive.

I agree with the uppercut thing, lol. Man, I got blasted with that alot.

With DA I had problems getting around the arena. You just can't get to your opponent fast enough. To hell with surprise attacks :). Not to mention... you couldn't sidestep worth a crap in DA.

I prefer being able to free roam the stage, kinda like in Soul Calibur 2.

What will be nice is having the teleports back. Atleast now we can do some 'move in quick' attacks.
