This mmo doesn't play anything like Street fighter or any other fighting game. Yes there are combos, even up to 10 (depending on the class). But, it's still very much different. The closet thing is Tera.
i usually dont buy founder pack, i think its a scam buuut blade and soul's combat system sold me. ill be buying the master founder pack. there is nothing like it on the market right now.
try the game before buying a founder pack. there is a private russian server with an english patch which i'm sure you can find using google. it uses old chinese beta files but the core gameplay is the same. i tried it a while back and i'll be playing the game at release.
However do note that forcemasters are a complete boring during the leveling process as they powerhouse everything with little to no threat to themselves. Only the level 45 2 star missions I would say are unsoloable, and it's wholly because of ranged adds that attack out of unison, forcing you to block until you run out of focus, or take an unrecoverable amount of damage. However at 50 you will gain focus when you block, so that becomes less of an issue.
Forcemaster before level 45 is pretty crap at survival, which means they're pretty crap at pvp. However at 50 you gain the ability to counter melee attacks, which is imperative for fighting anyone who isn't brain dead.
so pvp is not just who has the highest damage gear, it comes down to who can outplay who. you have to know your skills and combo and your oppoent's class.

This is the truth. That last tier 1 skill is Essential for Force Masters.

I think it has even been said they are downplaying the effects of stats on gear (at least weapons) in pvp arena mode, I'm not sure myself since I haven't looked into it much but it is clearly more about player skill.
im hoping there will be an esport of blade and soul, this game's pvp is perfect for that.
In Korea that is already totally a thing http://www.twitc h.tv/ bladeandsoul/ v/25712467 (Remove spaces) action starts at about 53 minutes in after the judges talk about the competitors.
