For me, the downside of JKA over the earlier games was the inclusion of special attacks that launch into extended animations based on button combos. For me, this destroys the feeling of being in control of the character and stringing together my own moves, it often happens by accident and unintended while I am trying to do something else. I also strongly dislike the move towards more of a "fighting game" type of control with obscure button combos to memorize over the simpler and more intuitive system of the older games. So I wonder if there was ever a way to disable this stuff, some kind of mod or config maybe?
