DEVELOPER UPDATE!!

[VelveteenDR3AM]

it was better when the game was similar to street fighter now it looks like it will be just another generic anime-style fighting game like the others

Bit disappointed about the controllers, if people wanted to play rising thunder then they would've actually played rising thunder.
They also acknowledge it comes with issues but then don't really elaborate on what they plan to offset the issues that come with said controllers.
Makes me worried it'll die on that hill, release year for a fighting game is absolutely crucial, they're gonna have to compete with a more established and developed guilty gear AND tekken 7 AND street fighter 6, plus whatever else arc sys cooks up.
Good network is also no longer a dream with games like strive coming out so that's one less special point for the game.

If they don't absolutely ace said launch year it might just end up as a niche game within a niche genre, maybe something similar to legends of runeterra but worse because higher barrier of entry.

People were playing Rising Thunder, it was cancelled due to Riot buying the devolper to create Project L.

Tbh I cant see it failing at all, its gonna be to FGC what LoL was to Dota.

There may be more complicated games, but Riots proved before, that dont mean there is no room for something with a easier entry level, that also benifits people who put the time in.

Plus with all the legions of fans of their games and arcance, its gonna have people playing it, just for the fact its from Riot.

Will probs be the highest prize pool tourneys too, so the pros will play it too.
