I didn't play the game before the "execute" action was changed to the X button, But, I can say, now, it's the most frustrating issue in the game. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a viable counter to an opponent simply spamming the x button until you're up against a wall and stomping your face in.
I like the sound of your original idea for the execute function. A longer animation would certainly add some much needed risk. I feel there needs to be some difficulty involved to get an opponent into a situation in which they can be executed. Even if an extended animation adds risk, that's only useful if there are more than two players in the game, or left alive. If it is easy, but only risky due to length, that will mean, as soon as the match is down to two players, the winner will be the first to spam an execution. I also think the execution should be a deliberate action, having it on the X button makes it something that just happens kind of passively.
Awesome game though, my friends and I stayed up until about 4:00 after about a hundred "OK, this is the last round's". Finally, someone said "OK if anyone gets a complete shutout, we will quit". We all agreed that was unlikely. The very next tournament, the one who had suggest the idea (and had also been losing most of the time) completely shut us out. There was much shouting. Certainly a rare, memorable gaming moment. If you are looking for testers for updated versions... count me in!
