They removed many stances and combos from characters as well as everyone's A+K (besides Yoshi and Voldo). I like the new GI system and I like the new Just Guard system even more. I like SCV but there's no denying that they dumbed down all of the characters.
That sounds like it goes more in hand with the character's move sets than the game's mechanics. But i know what you mean, some characters really had theirs trimmed down. At least they still remain strong and effective for the most part.
