Gems are dumb, but we've been running without them anyway since that's tournament standard.

Once Blanka comes out for real though, its all Rolento Blanka. Team Rolls Around-the-clock.
I agree for the most part; I do love how they presented this game. I didn't think the Tekken characters would translate too well, but Capcom really did do an excellent job with them.

I don't mind the gems being tournament banned due to the fact they would take forever to setup. Although if Capcom's tournament patch enabled a way for them to be easily accessed through USB or whatnot, I would be perfectly fine with that. I really like the dimension they add to the game. But like I said, it's not too big of a deal to me; I'm fine both ways. The game is too good not to play.
