I find 1/2-way holds a bit...noobish/scrubby honestly. The meter concept is indeed way to counter the noob/scrub side though. I guess I prefer 4-way holds in general because I like the challenge.
To the guys complaining, you keep forgetting one thing: This is NOT the final build. Changes will be made. So chill out before things get out of hand, and mods come in and shut this thread down l0l
