I knew you were there, but didn't know darxide was. I'm at the front of the line hoping I dig the new game - just reading that article put me off a little in that one aspect. I think fighters 'health' should be flowing and organic, so that it could increase during a round - even if I'm unaware of the real code etc...the hope is that it doesn't seem like you have a finite amount of 'health' and that it is constantly being drained by punches until you go down (and usually get up w/ a fixed amount of new 'health')
