Ivy's A+B+K is a worthless garbage. Not only it's so slow and vertical, but it doesn't have any tracking at all, it doesn't hit grounded opponent, doesn't give anything guaranteed on hit, doesn't have any evasion properties...

By the way, Suirad, is every A+B+K in the game -16 on block?
 
I would say most of them are pretty bad, except maybe algols since its a high payoff TJ move with auto backstep and a couple of them that cover a lot of distance like taki/LM. Ivy's does seem particularly bad though even amongst the others...

All the one's I've tested have been -16, but I havent tried all of them.

They gave certain quick match AI's personalities, per say. It usually coincides with the title you earn for beating them. The umbrella spamming Setsuka for example, has the title "Reckless Fool" because of how unsafe she is.

Yeah noticed that the play style of each AI are intentionally different. I read from the official Japanese page that some of those AI are actually based on the testers and developers of Project Soul. (HiyaD, KillerGreg, Phoson etc)

They should have binned this and spent the money developing SC 5....any word yet?

Most Fighting Games tend to go through tons of reversion before changing to a new sequel number. Street Fighter II (turbo, Champion edition etc), Tekken 5 (5.1,DR etc). SC4 is no exception. As a business, its a way to milk the franchise which is good because the more money Bamco get out of this franchise, the more chance we may see a sequel.
 
Odd technical property I noticed:

If you use the system's standby feature, where you quickly flick the power switch instead of holding it to fully power down, you can see an odd process with the glowing effects in SCBD. The easiest way to see this effect is to use Nightmare's A+B explosion to get into soul charged state. Send the system into standby while Nightmare is glowing, and you'll see the glow effect disappear from the scene a second before the system turns off.
 
Just a tidbit that's not particularly useful or anything; I'm not sure if it works for all NCs (Haven't really felt like testing it =P), but if you block the first part of an NC AA or BB, you can let go of block and the second hit will be blocked automatically.
