Yep, I went on a long rant about this in the Morbious preview thread a few weeks back. Our consensus was that we slightly preferred comments about how good a figure would be with Mole Man because that required actually reading the preview, which pointing out the belt doesn't.

It obviously does not work since you see coding in every other post so why keep doing it?

I still disagree with this on principle, but I do see why that distinction would be made. Either way, the OP (and the army he's raised here) is right, and the comments are nothin more than pointless clutter.
And spider_ham is right. There are gem posts in there that get list in the clutter.

It works when you view it as a thread. bbcode and quotes and smilies and all.
I do wish it could work in the units view itself, though.

I hate those commercials, but this is funny.

I tend to ignore any comment that references putting the UB or the IG on a figure. That's not a review. But then again, there are certain members who's reviews I look for because I respect them and value there opinions due to their longstanding contributions to this site and their ability to extrapolate beyond the...This figure sucks/ rocks comments.

I'd be fine if people just refrained from their tired and false disclaimer that "I don't usually advocate putting the belt on just anybody, but in THIS figure's case..."
How do you know it's false? Do you go to everyone's venue to check their belt usage? Are you actually a secret investigator for the anti-belt brigade?

Not gonna like, that would be kind of awesome.

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure that's a no. I don't think he's actually ko'd until the final time, so you're not scoring any points for the gauntlet until then.

Not everything. Ziran is alredy immune to both outwit and exploit weakness from his own abilities, for example.

You guys do realize that not every character gains equal benefit from the gauntlet/belt, right? A character that already has Power Cosmic doesn't gain as much from the gauntlet as a character that is vulnerable to pushing and outwit.
Similarly, some character can take better advantage of the belt than others. Using prep time to get Dracula onto +2 stats and Flurry is better than most, because it works well with his Vampiric Hunger trait and opening Charge.
Just because something is good on most characters doesn't mean it doesn't have better synergy with particular ones, and I think that's worth discussing.

I agree with the OP. In it's purest form, the Units section feedback is meant to be for the dial itself. Sure, there are ways to mention making it work better or how it would operate with another dial. But there isn't a figure in the game that wouldn't be better with the Gauntlet or Belt.
I don't know, some figures like bystandards or 20 point whatever's would get better certainly... Until they get one shorted with 4 damage... Really a waste of gauntlet potential
