Fighting Spirit is way too nerfed now. Literally can't get anything good in Versus Matches

They nerfed the charge rate for Fighting Spirit way too much. Used to be that by the time the first Konpaku is struck, both parties would have enough FS to Awaken, sometimes even earlier than that, and even then you'd have to drag the fight out to Reawaken.

But now it's just abysmal. It's at the point where I cut off half of my opponent's Konpaku's and neither of us has enough Fighting Spirit to even Awaken. Sublimation and Reawakening practically becomes impossible, because the fight is over by the time we have enough FS.

And I understand that there's orbs and talismans to boost Fighting Spirit Gauge, but that only applies to Story Mode and Mission Mode. You can't equip orbs and talismans in Offline Versus Mode. Hell just earlier I had a casual Shikai Ichigo VS Renji fight on CPU Level 4 difficulty, and by the time I even awakened into Ichigo's Bankai, Renji was down to his last 3 Konpaku so it was basically over in less than a minute from there. I want to drag fights out more, go through multiple transformations, really get to simulate certain fights properly.

At this point they absolutely need to introduce an option to select the awakening state of your character before entering the fight, because if you wanna re-enact a good Ichigo VS Ulquiorra fight, tough luck. If the CPU is too low, you'll kill Ulquiorra long before he'll get to go into Segunda Etapa. If CPU is too high, he'll kill you before you even get to Sublimation. You basically never get to play Reawakened Characters outside of just messing around in Training, or in Missions (and even there you have to force it a bit, and if you force it too much you then lose the fight cause Reawakenings are only given 2 Konpaku's)

I understand the Reawakenings are OP, so maybe don't allow them to be selectable in Online Mode so the fight is fair (or introduce some system where if you start the battle reawakened they're not as powerful as they'd be if you worked your way up to them), but for Offline Mode we definitely need an option to either start the fight Awakened and work our way up to Reawakening faster, or just start the fight Reawakened and go all out for fun.
