	His special moves obviously are all based around his speed, but outside of that fact he seems pretty much even with all the other characters. IMO, Flash should be obviously faster than every other character in the game, especially when it comes to basic movement. I hope they scale up his speed and scale down his power before the game releases. Anyone agree? -----signature----- I implore you, play Braid. Proud to be 99.4% chimp.

Are you saying that his power is already scaled, or if they scale it down more to make him faster... It would still be unfair.

	Think about Vega (or Balrog for the Japanese purists) from Street Fighter. He is unmistakably the fastest character in SFII but is certainly not overpowered because his damage is quite low. That's the direction I think they should go with Flash. Playing him should feel like a thrill ride. -----signature----- I implore you, play Braid. Proud to be 99.4% chimp.

	I've always hated the faster characters when it comes to fighting games. I'm in the middle, I like them not too fast and not too slow. I already know that I'm gonna hate fighting against Flash, so I don't think it's a good idea to make him even faster, but thats just me. -----signature----- Death Stroke was all you had to say.

Playing him should feel like a thrill ride. That sounds like something Midway did with Shujinko, which was clearly a big mistake hardly anyone liked. Let's save the unique character attributes for special moves, shall we? If there was a special move where he would move 2x faster, but deal less damage, that would be fine But demonstrating their character specific abilities in regular gameplay, nuh uh. -----signature----- Pirate skulls and bones!

	I would've been fine with Flash being a little faster while dealing lesser damage to compensate. However, upon seeing the videos and getting an idea of how fast combat is intended to be, I think this becomes more difficult to execute. With that in mind, limiting him to speed-based special attack while giving just a bit of extra speed in his normal attacks seems like the logical move rather than scaling everyone down in terms of combat swiftness.

	mkvsdc08 posted: GATechGamer posted: Anyone agree? I agree that you should shut up and stop complaining lol Merely a recommendation. I'm not actually complaining.

If there was a special move where he would move 2x faster, but deal less damage, that would be fine I'll have to agree to disagree with you there because often times, to me anyway, the MK characters are very indistinct outside of special attacks. Obviously they are very distinct when all factors are considered, but the minor differences are often so miniscule they are negligible. Batman, Flash, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, etc. all basically move at equal speeds and their basic attacks do near equal damage. There might be some differences, but they are minor. -----signature----- I implore you, play Braid. Proud to be 99.4% chimp.

	they probably kept his speed limited intentionally for the story, like Superman's powers are limited. the merger probably affected him in a similar way. or maybe he has jet lag, who knows? -----signature----- www.myspace.com/pootymackdontgetittwisted Some move away to make a way, not move away 'cuz they afraid.
