The problem is they took away some of those mechanics. I'd be fine if they played like this and the game played more like the E3 build. It's clear that their lower-mid level play has affected high level play. The extra hits required to CB (allowing more chances to hold, which we see they both love to do while stunned), removing many sit down stuns until much later or just on crouching opponents, removing many 3in1s and 2in1s (making the hold more prevalent again), removing guaranteed damage/set ups (Bass' pick up just to name one), and the lack of frame advantage/safe moves (which should be in the game, especially since there is a viable sidestep) were all probably changes that resulted from their lack of understanding and/or lower level mindset approach to the game.
