« No Need To Eliminate Option Select, Says Capcom's Seth Killian »

This was posted today on Capcom Unity's Forums. Personally, I don't consider it news but I thought that if this guy asked the question, maybe someone else out there is wondering about this as well. So, here it is.  Capcom's Seth Killian answered this one.

Question:

What does CAPCOM think about Option Selects in SFIV? Do they plan to fix this glitch?

The more people learn about it, the more it influences gameplay. IMHO, that means exploiting a glitch that can ruin gameplay balance (it artificially adds more offensive tools to already powerful chars).

So, any plans to get rid of it in SSFIV?

Seth Killian:

"Option select" is present in virtually every SF game in some fashion, and actually in almost every fighting game period (it's probably present in non-fighting games too, but I'm not thinking clearly yet this morning ).

Good balance is good balance, but option select is not necessarily something that anybody needs to aim specifically at eliminating.
