/Opinion. Simply because I enjoy watching it.
You're right, it's an opinion. However, KI (the new one) reminds me of other games I don't find exciting.
Single hits do no real damage...
Tengu isn't ever the first person I'd agree with, but he has a point (though I don't know if he was referring to 1, 2, or XB1). Having effective single-hit moves are important; I don't see that with the new game.
Also, health values are too high. Even the most damaging combos are about 65% of a lifebar, on average are about 30%, and the RPS combo breaker system (while better than previous games) reduces it further. From what I've seen, matches are about 60 (game) seconds on average; compared to Injustice (which I'm also not fond of for different reasons), that's quite a bit. Finally, I've heard quite a bit of people say the same thing about toning up the damage.
I've watched more than a few matches... I just don't think it's a good spectator game (at it's current state).
