I can't remember them saing THIS much about SD4... but eh. This SD is the only one where the preview made it seem like it's a huge turn for the series... In SD4, for example, the prviews stayed away from talking about improving areas I would have wanted them to improve.

But anyway... the main draw for me is the legends too. Hopfully they set up a cool reward systemto unlock them, and ways to make some hae comebacks in season mode.

'Here Comes the Pain' has a new producer...the guy that's been doing the previous SD! games got pushed aside or something. This guy says that TO DATE, the pinnacle in wrestling videogames is 'WWF No Mercy'. He says that the new grappling/countering/submission engine is inspired from AKI's work. And about the submission engine...it's like a tug-of-war. The guy applying the hold hits buttons to have the meter reach 'submit' and the one who's in the hold hits buttons to 'escape'. Early in the match, it's much much easier to escape...but later in the match, and you get, say, the Crossface applied to you, it's easier for your opponent to get you to submit. Anyway, it sounds really cool...You actually have some control over getting someone to tap or getting out of a submission move.
