I read the discussion about having EX characters for console Xrd... I'm of sitting on the fence about this.

1. I never really gave a damn about them except for facing them during survival mode.
2. They are not tourney legit.
3. I hate to remember additional moves just for a separate character version... I only remember Anji's after 8 years of play and they were just slight adjustments of his existing moves =A= (You try remembering 6 Fuujin follow ups + their properties and 3 versions of his EX overdrive.)
4. I screwed around with them before but didn't really enjoy playing. Most of them are impractical anyway.

Would the development team have enough time and resources to develop EX moves for all 15 characters? Considering they have Sin to keep them busy now.

Let's see what game modes console version would have.
- Arcade (given)
- Story
- Practice (further divided into tutorial, challenge, mission and training/ sparring)
- M.O.M
- Online
- Survival? So far this has been in every game to date, Isuka's arcade IS survival mode.

==============================================

Arcade sticks...

- They're universal. PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 all use different pads but an arcade stick setup is the same for all platforms.

Example: You play on Xbox 360 pad and you go over to a friend's place for gaming night only to realize the fellow owns a PS3. Both of you play on pad.

Example 2: You enter a tourney but forgot the system used by the organizers is different from yours.

- Buttons. Double button tapping. Button ,mapping can only be done so much on a pad.
RC: any 3 buttons.
Blitz Shield: S + HS
Burst: any button + D
Psych guard: any 2 buttons' combination that is not the above mentioned 2.

- Pad, you can't have all 5 fingers working on it. Unlike a stick 8D

- You can play in an arcade. Be it local or overseas.
