It would have been fun without the gems but everyone would complain it's just SF4 with Tekken characters. Even with the inclusion of gems, pandora and tag teams, some people still complain that its just SF4 with Tekken characters.
I'm confident Capcom know what they are doing and it'll still be fun with gems and Pandora. They wont screw up a game people have wanted since the 90's.
When I say "they wont screw up", I mean to a normal players standards, like you and I, not the standards of the uppity fanbase that have done nothing but bitch about every new thing and say they wont buy the game when they obviously will.
If it was up to them, we'd see the exact same game brought out each time with no new mechanics or modes.
As for playing without gems, couldn't you select gems that have conditions you know you wouldn't meet? Like playing as Chun-Li and picking a gem that requires you to perform 5 grapples.
I'm sure Ono or someone said there was ways to not play with gems. I can't quite remember.
Calling it now, every match I am winning online will end in a rage quit when my Zangief speeds up or gains more strength. If the match ends, I'm betting I get negative feedback for cheating or being too aggressive. It still amuses me that people accused me of over aggressiveness in a fighting game in which I play as a wrestler.
Gems will be awesome for the people online that beat me with their gems and they'll be "for skill-less scrubs like you!" when I beat them using my gems.
I am looking forward to seeing the effect each gem has on each character and what other gems the game will have, if any.
I'm hoping it adds a bit of variety online. Fighting a Ryu with added strength, then a Ryu with added speed. It may not be a different character but it'll add some variation.
Unless someone figures out the "best" combo of gems to use and then everyone uses them. I'm trying to end this post on a positive note but I can't.
