Today, as a slight change of pace, the combo master casts aside practicality with a nearly six-minute showcase comprised entirely of touch of death combos. The video gives several characters the spotlight, including Ash, Raiden, Mr. Karate, and plenty more.
Expect to see excessive use of both the drive meter and super meter as HD Mode strings and Max Cancels fly to deliver a series of stylish death blows.

I have worked in community as well, and the same attitude seems to apply to players who feel that developers are somehow the enemy or, at least, not to be trusted.
