Pros/Cons of Rapid Beat?

[HYPO-CRETIN]

Personally I don't like using Auto Combo in any game so I turn it off. But I am curious what pros or drawbacks there are to turning on Rapid Beat, other than making controls kinda janky.

Do they scale the damage down if Rabid Beat is used, like in KoF?
Do you lose access to any another mechanics?
Is it the same damage, and thus a "no point in not using it" situation?

Thanks for the help. Personally I think the classic full input style is more fun, but that's just taste. RB doesn't feel too broken when I play against it, so I'm guessing its nerfed somehow.

Rapid Beat includes a unique attack in the middle that for some characters (especially Saber and Ushiwakamaru) can be a pretty useful tool. Turning it off entirely probably isn't a great idea, but if you don't like the normal input method for it, you can set it to A+B at the character select.

I don't know if Rapid Beat hurts scaling, but Rapid Beat 2 is apparently used as filler in some optimal combos for some characters.

Okay, cool that is useful info. Many thanks my dude, I'm gonna try the A+B mode
