since no one gave a complete answer to the question !

BLOCK METER, aka GUARD GAUGE, aka GUARD BREAK METER

what is it...
in STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3, you cannot block indefinetely.
after a while of getting hit (when your METER gets to ZERO)
your character go into a GUARD CRUSHED MODE, meaning
that your character was stunned from all the hit you blocked.
once in that state, your opponent gets a free hit !

now think of what can happen if that thing was in !
i mean those things...
- the low punch thing, like TARKANX said !
- no GUARD BREAK MOVES in this game. (thou this would be nicer then GUARD GAUGE)
- against COMPUTER, i like the idea. against someone, thats what i hate the most !
- not usefull cause of the supers ! (your about to die and the opponent does his shinkuu, then you blobk it thiking i will survive, but your GUARD gets CRUSHED and you get killed cause of it)

for all those reasons, i think this wouldn't be a great idea, plus i hate the thing in SFA3, it just left out the turtling option which is the real only skill people have to survive that long cause of the lag !

overall, not so bad as an idea, but not thou good either, not in this online game anyway !
