cool!

saw some nice sprawl from franklin, and some decent combinations left/right/kick that seemed to flow.

I figured out one reason that some of the striking seems strange and that's because the recieving character seems not to see the hit comming ever even when his eyes are looking straight ahead - it's like he's agreed to take a few punches and pretend he can't see them comming. It would add a lot if the fighters braced for the hits a bit (even though they might not have a chance to block them) --- adding to this thought would be a bit of a physical reaction to hitting someone flush or missing (during/afer a miss might sway a bit and move head from fear of being countered/..during a hit get a bit more amped up and big/confident)
minor complaints...seems like a fantastic first effort and better than anything i've seen from a fighting game.
