ok, well that sounds better, I may still wait till the tekken but it sounds decent now as opposed to POS.
now my biggest concern next to wierd rules is the overpowered people/ cards in one set or the other, I don't mean latter on they'll get bigger and more obscene, I'm saying, we're sitting here talking about how it's all about having more energy than anyone else and they made a character like twelve already "When you flip an event, put it in your energy pile after it finishes. (*) At the start of Battle, you may discard an event in your energy pile to put a weapon from your discard pile into your hand."
king cards (4 cards make one character)are also money wasters.

yea, the mechanics seem a little loopy... played attacks become energy and many attacks cost energy means that the game revolves around 0 cost attacks which just leaves the game wide open to "energy screw" I did not know that you had to assemble all (or certain?) character cards with 4 cards combined, is that how you "unlock" the 2 secret character in each set? if so than I guess it is kinda cool flavor-wise... 1 other think that I am weary of is how damn broken some of the "limited 1 per deck" rares are (event:draw 2 cards, event: +10 damage) I guess I'll go read the rest of the spoiler list here in a few minutes...

yu yu hakusho did the god card thing with several characters, and it was one of the main things that ruined the game.
because: 1. each of the 4 pieces was equivalent to a UR, soyou had to blow paychecks to get the one character. and 2. the cards were vastly superior to everyone else, the thing that almost kept it in check was that it was 1 againt 5 in yu yu, but you still had 4 active powers you could use whenever, more str/def than everyone else without the help of items.
the god card in Epic Battles worries me because there's no balancing factor, and therefore they'll have to ripp something from their asses to compensate, which will @#$%^&* the game mechanics over. and don't say that they won't over power the god cards, because the point behind them is to get more money with little effort. make it real hard to obtain --->thus kids spend more to get them--->free money for score--->"who cares about game play?" score laughs.

as we get closer and closer to the realease date they seem to be revealing more broken cards, they may not be as bad as they seem, and I really don't enjoy raging on this game before I play it but I think there's just some things that have to be said. so here they are (with the exception of twelve, I already metioned him, he's the top of my list):
1.Noob Smoke's Dark Shadows Card Text: If your hand has 2 or more times the cards in your rival's hand, this attack does +15 damage. (if someone has that big of a hand they shouldn't be rewarded for it, they already have a huge hand wht more do they need?)
2.Sindel's Banshee Scream Card Text: HIT - Your rival draws 10 cards and then discards 10 random cards from his hand. (I really hope they'll do best of 3 tournaments, because with cards like these you'll be decked in under 5 min.)
3.Jade's Spear Kabob Card Text: If this is the 4th or higher attack in this combo, this attack does +15 damage. (again, you've already done 4 attacks and loads of damage, why are you being rewarded with more damage?)(there's a couple more cards like this giving you +15 with the base already being 20 so, 35 if not blocked, that's more than half a deck in one shot, I think I should take this time to note that the card insanity gives you +10 and is limit 1 per. deck...why arn't these limited?)
4.Hidden Intentions Card Text: Flip when you attack. You may link a projectile off this attack. (remember those 35 damage attacks? yeah)
there's alot of cards I'm not going to bother mentioning, like the multiple different all stops, instant or eventual but sure single card victories, but I'm tired, and there's too many, so you can look at it if you want.
the one thing I think score did correct was marketing the fan base, this will also probably get them into several law suits. take a look at the MK card "cat fight". yeah MK fans are really gonna like the sexual and gory content, MK is all about the nity grity, but what happens when a 10 year old picks up a street fighter deck and goes to play Mr. MK at his local hobby store? or if a parent sees it as just another pokemon and their little boy pulls two women cutting eachothers tops off? mommy gets mad. (don't get me wrong I like naked ladies as much as the next guy, but that pic is alittle perverted, it's not fighting, they ARE undressing eachother, and generally that draws negetive attention to stuff that no onne wants).
but with any luck that will cause score to go out of business and stop making horrible games for people to waste money on.
BTW, if that happens, kegger at my house!

well it's 6 am here, and I'm still up, why? I'm nuts. but as long as I'm concious and on the internet, I may as well say something awfull about this game (note:it's not a mean thing because it's true) the game realeases today, and ya know what? no gaming or hobby store is selling it. why you ask? score wont let them!!! this of course also means that hobby stores wont want to hold tournaments for the game because tournaments are ment for getting all the people there to buy the cards they're playing with. so it a hobby store holds a tourny for epic battles, they'll be wasting their time and effort.
that's right kids, so next time you go to your local hobby store, bring several friends who have epic battles decks, walk up to the store owner and say "hold and epic battles tournament here, and bend over!" because they will have been raped by score.
I'm going to make a prediction that this will change in a month.

question- can any personality use charater cards from any other personality? If they limit it like they do with re-Z it might at least be one way to "balance" the game 1.Noob Smoke's Dark Shadows Card Text: If your hand has 2 or more times the cards in your rival's hand, this attack does +15 damage. this card is insane, I really hope we can mix genres because this will make my ryu deck broken (ryu makes opponent discard whenever he his with a projectile) omg this would be strong even if decking your opponent wasn't how you win. you would think after all they went trough with DBZ/GT/re-Z they would know how to make a card that is not over powered... I'm thinkning that these are balanced because combos require 3-4 zero cost attacks that chain to each other so your opponent should take a little damage and save his stop-all for the big hit finisher if a hit in a combo is blocked does the combo end? in MK games you can combo into a blocking opponent but in SF games a blocked attack breaks a combo.... um yea, many of the setups are broken, like catfight and the +10 damage one.... played in discard/control deck being able to boost your attacks is obscene. I wonder if there are any cards that drain energy from a player's energy pile.... that would suck.... and yea, I fully expect hobby stores to get a piece of this action, I still can't believe it won't be sold there... I could see selling it at BBs and hobby shops and not at target and walmart, that would make sense (common sense if not buisness sense) I can't wait for the tekken cards with pics of nina and anna ummm "going at it"
