This would be dumb cause you could just bust out fireballs and other special moves all day long. How are generic thugs supposed to compete with that? If they made it so you could only use special moves after filling up a meter, ala Final Fight 3, that would also be dumb and not true to the SF series.

It's not a direct parallel but Tekken Force mode from Tekken 3 was kind of like that. The special moves have problems when you can face 2 directions as well. Try to do the normal half circle would turn your character around.

I guess it's worth looking into.
