[Forage]

lets go back to ur ryu/spidey example. what if ryu does the destruction one, and spidey does web sling, then what? u just wasted it and got owned. and what if he used the bigger one, and spidey super jumped, once again he'd get owned and wasted it...so much for ur desperation move..i think it'd just be a waste of energy if that happened but that thing always has a possiblity of happening. but yeah it would increase the chance of a comeback.

It's not neccessarily the best move to do. It can be helpful if it's timed right, but it might work against you (as it drains all your energy).

2nd. what about the helpers? lets say someone's got juggernaut and they hit it when u use it. u'd be screwed out of that too huh?
3rd. what about akuma? how would his tenma gou zankuu get bigger? and the rd?
4th. this also has to definately apply for vips. what about rd for sakura and all? double the length, constant? increase damage? these would all make it a 1 hit kill, even with vip akuma...

As for helpers, one of the mods (relentless?) let's the super continue unless the fighter is hit by another super. So helpers wouldn't really be an issue then (that's just one possibility, maybe it'd be better if helpers did stop them). Anyways, the desperation move isn't always the best move to make. Might help, might not. As for the other supers you mentioned, the desperation can't apply to all of them (or else they'd be 1 hit kills like you said). However, RD can kill a player if there life is low enough. When you say RD for Sakura, do you mean Shun Goku Satsu? I haven't seen that myself, so I couldn't comment on that.

Restavega, if you could get someone down to more than 50% life than you, I doubt they were ever any real threat. Also, desperation factor doesn't gurantee the win, and as Zhou pointed out, it may even be a waste at times as well. Also, helpers aren't always helpful.
