There's an agility bar. New bar. Nothing to do with EX bar. It fills up
pretty quickly. There's 2 bar. You use 1 to perform run or a backdash
(spaces out quite a bit). I think this is fair. It fills up fast enough to
use it every now and then. But not enough to just spam nonstop. You use 2
to use stage interactables. So it's not a stage interactablefest like
Injustice. You have to decide if it'll be worth it to use interactables or
to just dash up to continue pressure / dash away to keep zoning.
As for variation. It's like saying Catwomen decides to do rushdown. And
Grundy decides to do "zoning" with his zombie ground grab thingy (meaning
he'll not have his armor chainthrows etc.) Catwomen will just run up to
grundy with her claw slash and ignore most of Grundy's zoning. I'm hoping
the character variation is NOT going to be rock/paper/scissors. Hope it
helps you with really bad match up, but still at the end of the day...it's
what you do. Because in MK9, i can just spam Kabal's instant air fireball
like a noob and know some combos and it'll already be hard to win against
kabal without having to learn his advance nomad dash cancels if you play
someone who has trouble with zoning.
so instead of choosing a variation and giving you instant win (because you
only keep a few moveset between variations). i'm hoping variation helps
with really bad match ups like 9-1 or 8-2 to something like 6-4 or 5-5 and
what not. because fighting games should be about what you can do as a
player. just because i know stupid spamming basic kabal shouldn't give me
instant advantage over someone who's really good with sheeva, scorpion or
sub zero (don't know which characters have issue with zoning in mk9...)
