Anyways, I welcome a change away from complicated motions. However, games do need to be designed around this concept to really work. That said, any fighting game player that knows their shit can beat the ass of someone who is just spamming specials. While there is a very tiny advantage to touch screen specials (they are instantaneous instead of requiring input time), it really doesn't mean much if there is any skill gap. Spamming specials is no different than those people who spam Hadoukens to kill noobs online. The fact that you can press a button on the touch screen doesn't really change anything.

As you said, I don't think that even if I get to use 1-button shortcuts to perform any special/super move in a fighting game it would be possible to beat an EVO finalist in a single round. Hell, I probably couldn't take 10% of its health.

Anyway, I agree with OP that 1-button specials are stupid.
