I think fighting games would heavily benefit from having only single button inputs.  Another thing would be to make larger stages that can be traversed and explored.  It would also be great if there were more 3D fighting games.  Dissidia is one of only two fighting game series' I felt satisfied from; Smash Bros. being the first.

One of the key reasons for this is also to serve as a deterrent. One could indeed unblock them again, but this better serves as a preventive

method. We as humans don't have perfect control of our eyes when looking around, and it can be more difficult for some to not be

drawn in than others.

Take a simple real life scenario: Some security cameras are not even turned on. But they are there to discourage criminal actions; and they serve their purpose well in this way.

What if you want to just read an article without being bothered by comments? By blocking or hiding all main page article comments completely it will help reduce the urge to view any of the comments that may potentially agitate or annoy.

I never want to view the comments in an article, but it's generally the first thing I do. It's almost like a gambling addiction and I hate being drawn into it.

Then just don't look at them. They don't bother me. They roll right off my back.

Then good for you. But what harm does having the option to block all viewable comments on the main page articles have on anyone?

At the very least it will serve as a deterrent. I'm sure there are plenty of people that don't want to view the comments because they give them a headache. It may even convince people without accounts to make one. That is of course if GS requires someone to have an account in order to block all comments.

Pacing can also include elements on gameplay mechanics. How slow or fast the level up speed is, the rate at which you acquire increasingly more powerful and useful weapons/abilities, and even how large the travel area of a game is.

It seems to be falling on deaf ears, or in this case blind eyes too. You're welcome btw.

He typed his own in depth paragraphs about why Auro nwould win and got blown off by everyone. Seems like it would give him the right to do the same back to them. It's only fair.fs_metal

I've responded to many of his paragraphs and some of them weren't even directed at me.

I've said some of them at least twice, but here it goes again *plays that song temporarily* Mr. Cloud-looks-cooler-and-is-therefor-a-better-fighter. I'll even put pros and cons at the end of the statement to help with your little thought process:

1. Auron is much more intelligent (which WOULD help in a fight). +

2. Auron is more experienced, and is therefor a better fighter. +

3. Cloud is faster. +++ (Which obviously means Auron's slower. ---)

4. Cloud has Omnislash. +

5. Cloud has constantly proven that he's emotionally unstable except for when he's battling Seph. -

6. Cloud can only cast a fraction of the spells that Auron can, and needs Materia to do so, which physically weaken him. -

7. Auron already made the mistakes of his lifetime in his actual life, and now has very few flaws of his character. +++

8. Since I know that you'll ask for examples of #7, here you are: Can you tell me a time other than the Spherimorph visit when Auron did something because he wanted it for himself? And even then, it was also to show Tidus about Jecht.
Auron no longer allows his emotions to get in the way of his mind. He used to, (ex. how he died) but he overcame them.
Auron knows how to act, what to say, when to say it, and why he says it to the different races of Spira since he's met them all (goes along with more experience).
This has little to do with a battle, but the topic of emotions was brought up.

9. Auron has Dragon Fang, and Tornado, but more importantly, Banishing Blade. ++++++++ (even though his physical attacks are just as powerful as Limit's)

10. Auron uses his strength defensively and with strategy (++), while Cloud uses his to hack away at his enemies (-) (which in his defense, generally works).

I'll continue with the list next time you post since you'll find more bias than any reasonable person could even make up.

1. Auron is probably more intelligent, but saying he is MUCH more intelligent is not giving credit where credit is due. Cloud never does anything stupid, he keeps to himself most of the time so he's probably a critical thinker. He is always focused and never distracted, he may get annoyed if he gets taunted but that's is as far as it goes. Cloud is injected with Jenova cells which enhances everything in him, don't forget that.

2.Auron is older, but to say he is more experienced is quite a stretch. Why? Cloud was in Shinra's army, so he was constantly training. Auron was never in a combat unit, he was only a guardian with more freedom. Plus Cloud has been in far more battles than Auron story-wise, just look at the compilations of FF7: FF7, Crisis Core, DoC, and AC all show how much Cloud has been through. Since we don't know what happened in between Auron's death and his current dead state, we can only rely on Young Auron's job as a guardian for Braska and his battles with the other party members.

5.He wasn't emotional when fighting Kadaj, Loz and Yazu. He wasn't emotional in Doc, he wasn't emotional with pretty much all of the battles in FF7 except Aeris's death. The only other time he was emotional was when he first confronted Sephiroth in the reactor, which is ironically what contradicts what you said about Cloud never getting emotional when fighting Sephiroth. I believe you're confusing emotions with being serious most of the time. He's a serious dude 24/7, that doesn't mean he is emotional; so what if he doesn't smile or open to people socially.

6.Auron has NEVER, I repeat, NEVER casted a spell storyline-wise. The materia doesn't weaken Cloud, it only strengthens him in his abilities. You're going back to gameplay again.

9. Again, Auron has never used those moves outside of gameplay, therefore invalid.

10.Auron hasn't done a thing my friend except hack away fallen trees in one slice and glide down some ropes to save Yuna (of course Cloud on the other hand has sliced through building debris and a motorcyle). Cloud uses strategy pretty much everytime he fights, not just strength. Here's an example: Right before Cloud used Omnislash V5 on Sephiroth, he swung at him at the perfect angle to make Seph jump in the air SO he could use Omnislash V5.

[QUOTE="swyg"]CLOUD USES OMNISLASH IN AC! Cloud also uses Omnislash Story-wise at the very end of FF7 against SephirothIceDefenseGod

Yes, ghe uses it at the end of FFVII... if you click it. I don't know who wouldn't their first time through, but if you wait for Seph to attack you, you counter, and that kills him. Also, Cloud NEVER uses Omnislash in AC. Not once. The part you're thinking of is just multiple slashes with multiple swords.

Nope, I don't know anything about FFVII. That's how I can put up a valid argument. I guarantee I know more about the actual game FFVII more than you, you just know more about the crappy movie AC , which has little important to the story of FFVII. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Cloud is a good fighter, but stands no chance against Auron. You just can't get it through your head, Cloud as a char. is just emotionally unstable unless he's fighting Seph., who Auron is not.

Read the bold print. You're contradicting yourself left and right buddy, stop doing it and type cleaner.

Aside of that, AC completes Cloud's end of the story when he realizes he's not alone anymore in the FF7 compilation so it is very important. You wouldn't want it to be though because it hurts your side of the argument. If you're going to argue against something, it is best you know both sides of the argument before saying anything. You will be more prepared.

Me being a member of the Department of Redundancy Department has nothing to do with the fact that Auron is a better fighter than Cloud.

What the? Stop blowing off what I type dude, this has happened several times already. You only responded to the first two sentences and didn't even look at the most important paragraph right below. There are so many paragraphs of deep information I'm betting you didn't even look at.

[QUOTE="MASTERBLADEX"]tifa still was'nt present in that desolated place it was only cloud and sephiroth,and the next ff7 game can take place like 2 years later agian so yeah he will be over it.and he did kill sephiroth by himself in the battle of wills.hell,it was sephiroth who called out to him for the fight.and the ultimania say's that sephiroth had been gotten over jenova unless you written the ultimania your word means nothing.fs_metal

He only killed Sephiroth by himself once

Cloud would not have won the battle of wills without Tifas help

You cannot kill someone through a battle of wills.

If Sephiroth had gotten over Jenova, he wouldn;t have been attempting to accomplish what she originally set out do do. Consume the life on the planet and move on.

You don't even know FFVII's story;./ You have made this quite clear. Why are you even here?

Technically, Cloud has killed Sephiroth twice. Besides AC which is an indisputed kill and the "battle of the wills" which is up for debate, Cloud killed Sephiroth in the reactor core. He did this completely by himself, you can't even argue Zack being there because he didn't help Cloud kill Sephiroth one bit. Zack failed to kill Sephiroth and was beaten down BEFORE Cloud arrived, he wasn't able to interfere with Cloud and Sephiroth's confrontation. You also can't argue that Sephiroth was tired after fighting Zack, he doesn't tire in battle because of the pure concentration of Jenova cells in his body.

The best you would be able to argue on this point is that Cloud stabbed Sephiroth from behind and weakened him severly without facing in front of him. Then again Cloud was stabbed by Sephiroth right after, but Sephiroth was taken by complete suprise when Cloud overpowered him.

Let me run that by you again. Cloud, who doesn't have Jenova cells in his body right now (this is before Hojo did the experiments on Cloud and Zack) and instead is just infused with mako(which is much weaker than Jenova cells) overpowers Sephiroth, a man with Jenova cells swarming throughout his body and by all intents and purposes known as THE best warrior in the world. To argue that THAT wasn't an unbelievable display of will power is complete and utter nonsense. If you (metal) even think you can, you'd better come with info from a credible website, because this is 100% canon. Don't give me any of that "he's emo" crap either. Come prepared with verfiable data or concede.
