Neither of the modes are that annoying, the game would be better off without them but it's dragon rush that is just awful.
It also allows them to block, build ki through attacking (be it defended or hit), causes slight increase in states, and doesn't fatigue them once it wears out on top of the advantages Hyper Mode offers (except not doing Ultimate moves anytime you like). None of which Hyper Mode offers. In fact, Hyper Mode is generally ignored in high-level play due to it's various flaws.
None of that really makes it annoying to play against, unless you're talking competitively which is a completely different topic. Yeah, Aura Burn actually has some competitive value which I think is a point in favour for it existing if anything.
Hyper Mode is really shitty competitively, shitty to play with, and only exists to frustrate players by getting them stuck in Dragon Rush. I don't give a shit about Aura Burn vs Hyper Mode, it's all about Dragon Rush.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

It's annoying to me. And Aura Burning is still ignored in high level play.
Anyways, I think this discussion was about the AI's annoying habit of abusing said mechanics since Rocketman and you complained the AI loved to spam Dragon Rush in B3 like there's no tomorrow (that is partly untrue) even though the AI is pretty much the same with Aura Burn (especially Lazuli) only it's cheaper and much harder to avoid, and that the whole gameplay sucked simply because of Dragon Rush for opposite reasons, which I think is a bit out of line considering fighting games are made for multiplayer, unless if the core mechanics isn't that good to begin with.... or if you're this kid.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

The only thing really hardocre about Infinite World except the story mode. It's fucking long as hell.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.
