Love the game? Hate the game? Love the systems? Hate the systems? Hate the fact that a character you love isn't in the game? Want to tell everyone how much you hate the Gem system?
Then feel free to do it here and here only. Enough derailing threads with pointless complaining.

-I remember when people were fearing this game was gonna be SF4+some Tekken guys.
-A lot of the anti-Gem sentiment really is just "change is bad" and fearing deviation from a formula, and this sentiment itself isn't new, especially to fighting games. "Infinite assists and 4 attack buttons? NOT MY MARVEL."
-That said, Capcom is really, really messing up if they're dolling out anything other than cosmetic effect Gems as paid DLC.
-However, what I CAN see them doing is using the League of Legends model, which allows one to either earn points toward buying their stat-up items (runes) via simply playing the game (which itself is free, I still haven't paid a dime) OR spending the money to unlock whatever runes they need. Both ways take from the same pool of runes. In fact, the more I dwell on it, the more I think this is what they'll do. But, speculation.
-Juri Han and Vega/Claw CONFIRM ALREADY. Also, put in Bryan Fury.
-I'd rather get Hyper Street Fighter X Tekken 1-and-1/2 years or 2 years from now than anymore paid DLC, especially if Capcom keeps to their practice of cutting the MSRP for such a future edition.

- The (bad) overhaul in the chaining system - something that didn't bothered anyone, save some elitist players who will not even play the game in the first place;
- Horrible horrible background music lol;
- Tekken characters being handled in a fashion that isn't even close to their real counterparts (with Raven and Julia being the worst offenders);
- A poor roster design overall. Exepct for Poison, Rolento and Hugo, all of the characters are the mainstream casual ones;
- Kuma purposely being the worst character in the game;
- That stupid and obnoxious "X the Line" series - offending the Tekken player-base was really necessary, Capcom?
~There's even more things that I could add, but I'll limit myself with these.

Though maybe you meant to say Heroes & Heralds from UMvC3.
Then we get into the real question of how good Gems will be for the health of the game. Heroes & Heralds is going in as a separate mode with the notion of very little, if no balance. This allows them to go crazy with the effects, but also means that some card combinations. will crop up as ridiculous unless steps are taken to limit them.
However, as Ono pushes it and you admit, Gems are being made with a competitive environment in mind. They very well may add a pleasurable layer of strategy and depth to the game. They will be balanced with competitive gaming in mind.
The real problems people seem to be having with Gems are acquisition methods and plain not liking them in concept as a preference. The latter is all well and fine an opinion to hold, nothing wrong with it; some will like it, some won't, as goes most anything else in gaming. The former problem is much more worrisome. Could be time consuming. Gaming gods forbid they go "pay to win" with the stat changing gems. Or maybe we're being worry-warts and only cosmetic gems will be priced, while any stat-affecting gems are either in-game or free DLC. Who knows. I'm optimistic on the concept of Gems, but stil lin wait and see mode on how they're executed.
Either way though, I do not look forward to watching people pick their bling in tourneys.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeThe worst of them being the gem system that is now confirmed to be implemented in a way that can't be disabled. Are you kidding me!? I'm no elitist by any means but the fact that some guy can just add a gem to help him block is absurd. I get it, the game has to be beginner friendly and what not but why isn't the option to turn that shit off there? Is it because they don't want their stupid idea to go to waste? Oh yeah let's not forget some gems will come as lovely dlc.
The game is also aesthetically displeasing, it's so dark and grungy. All of the street fighter characters look like they got memberships to L.A.TAN. I won't talk about the character roster since that's all preference but I will shed a tear for my girl Makoto, you will be missed.
Anyway I'm done I know I'll still buy the game regardless if it's a pile of shit or not because that's what everyone will be playing sadly.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeThe only thing that I'm worried about is the pay to win model that could ensue from DLC gems. Still, right now we don't know for sure if those pre order gem packs are DLC exclusive or early unlocks (like 3SO had for Gill and dip switches), or if there are DLC exclusive gems at all in the game.

But what I think we all really want to know is WHY ISN'T MEGA MAN IN THE GAME CRAPCOM?!?!
Game is still kinda looking better than SF4 tbh, with the gems being a wild card.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree Likethanks for pointing that out for me about pandora i thought it was gonna be separate mode but holy crap thats lame as hell. I really liked the evo build where there was no pandora or gem system. The gem system doesnt sound to bad but i honestly dont really like it either. When i saw the video where Seth said when ryu activated these red gems and gain 40% more dmg i was like *facedesk* why!!!!! The Gem system reminds me of Marvel Super Heroes if thats the correct game that had gems in it that gave speed, power and etc.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeSome complaints are entirely legitimate. Would they end up here too? I don't think that would be right. I'm guessing this is more of a place for people to just vent?
That model is there specifically so that people are not given the impression they sell power when they essentially do (at least until you unlock your stuff). While you can only buy runes with IP, the actual (low) amount of IP you get is blatantly an incentive to buy the IP increasing boosters (which cost RP). It's not the first example of this system. Since it needs to be a grind by design to make a good amount of money, I'm not a fan. Don't give Capcom any ideas!
(Guild Wars 2's planned system is an upcoming example of this by the way, but since it would only apply to PvE I'm not concerned.) Are you talking about any people in particular? Did someone's feedback actually contribute to this decision?
Not for a long, long time. All of the games they are putting out are past glory with a new "twist". Luckily for them, the past works they are aping were really good games, so the bullshit they add doesn't necessarily mean they are bad games.
Unless you meant most companies as in videogame devs in general and not just fighting game devs.
Have you played it? I'd love to hear your thoughts about what you think is wrong with how it plays.

But because it killed the hype of several of my friends.
I was looking forward to playing this game with them..
I think it has to do with the Gem thread.
Some people actually want to discuss the system and it can be annoying for them to have people come in and go FUCK THIS SHIT GEMS SUCK CASUAL SHIT GAME RAWR RAWR RAWR
Kinda hard to discuss the system while more than half of the posts are people just ranting.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeWhile how Capcom would handle such a system is up in the air until they do it, of course, I have never once felt like the amount of IP given for playing a game of LoL (For the uninitiated: the points one gets for playing games, usable int he store to buy runes and characters) was low, especially not if I'm aiming for a rune. (Though maybe I just win too much. :3)
The key thing is that, yes, it's a grind, but it's not a grind I necessarily feel since I enjoy the game. I enjoy the game, I keep playing, I earn more IP, I buy champs and runes I want. Still haven't felt the need for a booster or skin, so still no money paid. Maybe others have felt the need to pay money for runes or IP/XP boosters or skins. Only one of those will really effect me if they're on or against my team. I still haven't felt like "Man, this guy must've spent money on all Tier 3 runes, he's killing me."
As long as the pacing of "Capcom IP" feels good, I wouldn't mind such a system.
Now that's what I'm talking about!

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI know it's off-topic but: How you feel personally about the rate of IP gain should not stop you from realizing that this is the purpose the IP boosters serve though. The reason Runes only cost IP has nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with the image of fairness. I don't really have an issue with the rate of IP gain either because the game wasn't that serious for me. If I wanted to be fully competitive day 1, then I'd be a bit pissed. Not that this is wrong or anything, it's just not as nice as it sounds.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeIt should be noted that LoL's leveling system means that even if I wanted an instantly gratified leg-up, I wouldn't get much of one, since one can only use more in quantity and more of the more powerful Runes by playing and leveling their account. Though then there's the XP booster....which then naturally takes you out of the beginner levels. At which point, it continuesto be less and less about having the most powerful Runes if you don't have the knowledge to build and play your character correctly.
The choice comes down to "Are you willing to pay the price we set for an instant gratification, or will you just play the game and get there naturally?" Players willing to pay are taken care of, players not willing to pay are taken care of as long as the rate of earning "points" is good, the company gets extra income and keeps people playing. It may not be nice, but it's practical.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI find it sort of funny that you would consider having the tools to just play the actual game of LoL (anything sub-30 is basically a different game from a competitive point of view no?) instant gratification. I guess it's just a matter of POV. But yes I agree, very practical indeed. They make shitloads.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeWell, since they didn't feel like revealing a Tekken character (much to all of our chagrins) to go with him, it would've been a lopsided demo. Inelegant.
Besides that, and probably more practically, we can pretty much tell how Rufus will play from SF4, and the questions of what Super he will have has been answered. The meat of any update to a publicly-available build of the game will definitely be coming with a set-up for Gems alongside any new characters.

But now that we know most of the details...I don't know, the fact that there are around 200 gems, how the system works, no mode with gems disabled (this is a bad thing even if it turned out to actually be a good system...why you don't want me to play the characters without powerups?) and last but not least the DLC/exclusive content thing...it just looks bad to me, but I really hope I'll be wrong in the end.

My only rant is at the prospect that gameplay stuff (ie., gems that affect stats, systems, etc.) will be paid DLC. I don't care if the extra cash and exclusive stuff is fluff like costumes, effects, accessories and so on but I don't want to have to pay extra just to be on equal footing to anyone else.
