What's the point of "Easy to Combo"?

[keyx...@umn.edu]

If you reduced the level of a move by 1 and removed the Easy to Combo element, it would cost exactly the same Control in a combo, and one less Control every other time you used it.  What, then, is the point of that element?  Am I missing something obvious?

[Christopher Peter]

You're not missing anything; the Element as it presently exists is mostly broken.  At L3 or higher, it does nothing at all.  It does make a difference at L2 (since there are no "L1 Special Moves") and is arguably broken good.

This actually went for a couple years before anyone pointed it out to me and I never noticed it in playtesting.

Anyway, in the 2nd edition, the Element has been re-written to be much more useful.

The one situation where I definitely see Easy to Combo at work in the source material is for things like Guy's command run or K''s Ein Trigger, aka Move Sub-Sets where the following move is determined by a single button press, as opposed to rekka-style inputs.

Oh wait, Ein Trigger uses direction+Button. My bad XD

It is possible also to emulate single-button follow-ups using the Power Up (control) Element. Since each extra Control used add +1 Damage. you can say that it adds an extra hit after the initial move. Thus ignoring combo rules and EtC element for that purpose.

True, but Guy's initial dash doesn't deal damage, and his follow-ups do very different things (a sudden stop for feinting, a slide kick, and a slow but massive jump kick)

That's true in Guy's case, but Alejo's idea is a good one for guys who just have follow-up attacks that have no "tricks" associated with them.

I like this; I think I'll include a note to this effect in the new rules.
