It's also a more manageable change than selectable v-skills, which would mean a total redesign for many characters (Mika appears to have a new v-skill where Nadeshiko jumps in with a chair, though).

And I prefer it over the rumored V-Cancels (basically Roman Cancels/FADCs). People think they hate Laura and Ibuki now, give them V-Cancels too and see how much you like life.
