Exactly.
I'm hoping and expecting 1.3 to bring a lot more diversity to the game. So far, it's looking good, at least I think so. I know a lot of people don't agree with me on this.
Like you said, with everyone using the same tactics, it comes down to turning and aiming, and to me, that's not a fun, skill-based way of playing. I want tactics, offensive and defensive strategies like blocking and counter-attacks, a deeper combo system, all kinds of things, and 1.3 is looking to deliver on most of that.
