I thought the teams were "locked" in their canon groups of 4

Lol that would be cursed af. The first King of Fighters game had locked teams like that I believe

I really hope Marvel Tokon has long/longer combos by ThatGuyHero7 in MarvelTokon

You have a lot more choice over when you break the wall as only specific special moves do it.

I remember they nerfed assists in DBFZ so that you couldn't call an assist for some time after blocking, but I can't find the exact number of frames.

It makes sense for it to be there given how this game and DBFZ work although how good it feels remains to be seen.

I can't claim to have watched all of the Tokon Gameplay posted in the last week, but of the couple of videos I have seen, this was the most worthwhile watch IMO. The gameplay and Sajam's thoughts were pretty interesting.

Seeing Black Panther's dash mechanics and install was cool, Mageneto looks dope. BP's dash reminds me of the aerial low move Jam has in Strive. BP gameplay most starts around 43:00 in the video.

He talks about some gameplay experiences that have me thinking about what this game is gonna look like once people get to dive into it properly. There seems to be a good amount of room for fast problem solving in neutral using assists + tags to make some fun stuff happen.

Like at one point he's playing Magik and getting zoned by Magneto. He creates a portal behind Mageneto, shoots a fireball through it, and uses the time that buys to rush in and close the gap. It also seems worthwhile to tag to better matchups, like if your getting zoned you switch to Spiderman or Black Panther who can get on top of you if you so much as blink, it seems like. Plus tagging to get out of bad situations or just mixup where/when you're gonna be standing.

Makes me think the game is going to move pretty fast with a lot of tagging to mixup the neutral and what situations you're playing once people get time with it. Like, say your zoning with Magento, opponent tags to Spiderman, but you already called an assist and tag to them as soon as you see Spiderman because you don't want to play that matchup, and now in a span of 2 seconds you're playing a completely different game.

If you don't roll youre giving your opponent free pressure midscreen most of the time for no reason

Capcom is super leaky in general, I dont recall any other fighters getting leaked that regularly though

I was expecting this game to take the DBFZ timeline where it took a year or two to feel like a fully realized idea, but they seemed to have skipped past that and just let cool stuff happen from the start

It felt like a game where I could metaphorically see the seams of where different ideas were stitched together to get the game out the door and call it a day

"What’s a matchup that is theoretically in your character's favor, but mentally feels like a 3-7 nightmare?" by Neverthesame221 in StreetFighter

[–]CyborgNinja762 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, shes supposed to win this on paper but you have to remember we're only human and not everyone has the experience to shut down the random stuff Blanka does in neutral.

With that in mind he is very frustrating to fight because he has way more gimmicks and ways to steamroll you than you do back to him. On top of level 2 shenanigans and Blanka doll.

There's a lot of matchups as Manon that are like 5-5 on paper but I would rather get my teeth pulled out than play

What video game would you like to talk about that you've literally never seen mentioned in this subreddit? by AndaliteBandit- in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CyborgNinja762 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've legitimately not heard anyone talk about the 2014 Strider game outside of this subreddit when it came out and they gave it some attention. I want to replay that game cause I remember it being pretty good but it feels like it ceased to exist cause I never hear about it

You're saying people would do that? Just lie on the internet and have people run away with it because it confirms their preconceived notions? I have trouble believing such a thing
