Pretty bold statement for a developer. Hopefully they'll do whatever is best for the game as a whole. Hell, Valve teases things for TF2 and will change them as necessary all the time.
I don't even fucking care god damn. Fuck this gem mode, fuck this pandora mode (though I don't mind them being in the game).
For the love of god capcom release some new character reveals. Seriously I want to know what characters are making it in over all this other bullshit.
Though if you just announce juri ASAP you can go back to bullshitting with modes

I really hope they drop Pandora all together if they can't find a way to change it from what it is currently.
Also, "The Cross Art and Cross Assault tag attacks are viscous"
I'm sure you meant vicious.

Pretty sure every fighter has been announced other than I think one Tekken character. And all the SF characters other than Poison, Hugo, and Rolento (weird, just noticed they're all FF enemies), are just copied pasted from SF IV. 28 characters with only 3 new SF ones feels empty when SF IV itself has 39 now... but I guess they have to hold something for DLC/later versions. Assuming anyone cares enough for that to happen. I'm guessing this is going to be their first big bust after MVC3 and SF IV generally doing so well.

The recent teases for characters beg to differ.
Also Ono was teasing Asuka just the other day. Who wasn't in the previous teases.

Pandora is fine.
Gems are shit.
Why aren't you reporting on the fact that Capcom is selling skills and abilities separate from the main game, and making it so you can't turn off the abilities?
Unless they change something, or this game falls as flat as the fighting community is saying it will, expect to pay for special moves in the next fighter released by capcom.

@Free Touch to be fair thats all speculation. We have no idea yet what Gems are in game and what are preorder bonuses or what will be dlc. They still havent even announced what the Gem dlc is gonna cost if anything at all yet.
Comeback mechanics never work, they should find some other means to get casual gamers to spend their money...
Pandora mode is nothing like X-Factor. I approve of it more than the gems, but alas I will wait till after launch to judge.
I'd say, that they should just cut the Pandora and Gem system and call it a day. Silly gimmicks need to leave ASAP.
This game pretty much plays and feels like I was hoping SF4 WOULD of played like when it first released, though adding a mode in like this makes it sound like a step in the opposite direction. Why is it so hard to just focus on the gameplay and characters, instead of adding in bullshit gimmicky comeback mechanics? After playing this at PAX, I gotta say I was fucking excited to play more, but news about all these new unnecessary mechanics have me worried for how the final product will end up.
Nothing for nothing, I'm going to be one of those people who'll say "of course they'll cut it, they'll need it to make the "Ultimate" Street Fighter X Tekken that'll come out 6 months later"
Why keep in a mode being previewed now when you can add it later and make $40.

Pandora, as conceived, didn't work. It was obviously flawed. People were saying it was flawed ever since it was introduced, because you just had to wait a few seconds for your opponent to die. But only now, after this much time, is Seth Killian admitting it doesn't work?
On the other hand, Seth Killian seems to be as much or more a company yes man than a fighting game player/designer, at least in public. In that regard, admitting Pandora doesn't work may be a pretty major event.
I think people should be more concerned about the eventual quality of Street Fighter x Tekken. Capcom started with a simple idea that would work, but has since been throwing additional systems at it almost at random, overloading it with special options. All the team stuff, pandora, gems, whatever else they announce... And gems... Supposedly vital to the very core of the game, with the game balanced around them, but Capcom was showing off the game for months without even hinting at them. And pre-order DLC gems now?

I like the idea of pandora. Maybe in addition to a depleting health bar you also take damage so the opposing player doesn't have to play defensively when it's activated. Or if you activate pandora you your health bar doesn't deplete, and it becomes a one-hit kills situation.
Wow. You don't take damage in Pandora? That's something everyone can agree is broken. P1 goes into Pandora, P2 waits a second and then activates it and wins automatically. Bull.
I thought Seth was just a community liason and manager though, not having any actual weight in the administrative areas of development?
Otherwise, Pandora is indeed pretty weak-sauce as it is. It doesn't even look like people will like to use it online matchmaking, let alone in a tournament setting.

I was hoping this would turn out to be a real game. But they keep announcing all these weird Marvel-esque mechanics. Theres like five different gimmicks in this game. And none of them are particularly good.
