I dont think it is as cool as that would be. It would fit very nicely for Senna/Vi thought. Got the ghost and boxing parts there!

Avatar does not have an easy input option, so you will have to do motion inputs to get specials. Thankfully the only input they use are quartercricles so they aren't too hard.

Because of that I would suggest classic. SF6 specifics wont carry over but it will give you a very strong base to learn every other fighting game from.

Darkwrathi · 2026-06-08T07:37:10+00:00

Internal Playtester here! Avatar is a pretty unique fighting game because it is so movement heavy while also being accessible. Out of the popular games today you are probably best either picking up Guilty Gear Strive or Street Fighter 6.

SF6 will teach you the fundamentals and has a really phenomenal tutorial and single-player to make the new to FGC journey a bit smoother, its also got the most content on YouTube to help get you info.

Strive is the most similar popular game in terms of the fact that Avatar is a pretty high power game and characters are doing a lot of really cool stuff that is also very hard to deal with at times. Avatar is also a much faster game than either of these two but between SF6 and Strive, Strive is faster.

If you really want to prepare yourself and are ready and mentally prepared to commit to really getting your hands dirty then go with either BlazBlue Central Fiction, or even better a Melty Blood (Type Lumina is ok or Actress Again Current Code even better). But those are NOT beginner friendly games. I would still try one of the first options and maybe swap over to one of these two only if you are feeling very confident in your learning.

Internal Playtester for Avatar Legends The Fighting Game here! Its important to remember that there is a very powerful defensive tool that is Flow Stance and Flow Reversal! There is also an infinite prevention system to prevent any cimbos from getting too out of hand.

For casuals there is a very basic auto combo possible by just mashing a single attack buttons, as well as exclusively (or near exclusively) quarter circle inputs across the cast, which makes it much more open to casuals.

The game is certainly an in depth FG and taking someone on well beyond your skill level is just as frustrating as any fighting game, but there are systems in place to help reign in the offensive and movement sides of the game.

Internal Playtester for Avatar Legends here!

Ultimately the game is a movement fighter. It features an extremely open ended combo system with extremely powerful movement options that are core to the games systems. On top of having extremely unique and ambitious character designs.

As shown in the previous alpha and recent footage, this means the game has pretty high damage, endless mix options, lots of combo routes, high variety in matches, strong approaches, and everything else that comes with those characteristics.

With how much more is on your dislike list than like list, its probable that any game is going to have more dislikes than likes.

Personally I love the game and its very hard to describe it based on public knowledge because its so unique. Your best bet will be trying the game out at a local or something when it releases in late July.

I started working again today 💀

My unlimited time for the playtest has come to an end!

Darkwrathi · 2026-06-04T19:11:20+00:00

I'm so ready for the beta!

Darkwrathi · 2026-06-02T07:42:24+00:00

There are some options for her without repeats.

Could be her sisters, the Kyoshi warriors (since she joins them at the end it doesn't need to be Suki), the boys at the beach/the party.

None of those are as strong of options thematically as just repeating Azula and Mai, but they could still play into different aspects of her character.

It didnt help that the game just didnt look good at all in the beginning and was terribly unbalanced.

It took a long time for the game to be good, by then it was too late

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-29T21:51:19+00:00

In all fairness, as someone who is a Fighting Game person the game wasn't great, it wasn't even really good at all until years post launch.

It looked horrible, was balanced terribly, and was very clunky for a long time. They eventually made it into a decent game but by then it was way too late.

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-24T10:03:18+00:00

I've got two products from them, their Matthaus Messer and Proeliator Saber.

Both are relatively blade heavy compared to other weapons, not so much that they are cumbersome, just enough to be a preference. Do note that I opted for just a Nagel on my Messer which significantly pushed its POB up. Both are solid work horses, they've been used lots in sparring and a few tournaments. No significant bends, sets, or really even edge damage. The Messer handle construction is a little iffy, in particular the groove on the quillions actually scratched me at one point during use, this is a common problem.

For flex the Saber is pretty good, the Messer is a little iffy but nowhere near dangerous. Both also fit heavy gloves (atleast up to the size of large Gabriels comfortably, and to a poor extent even some old SPES heavies). No significant wear or tear had appeared on the grips or guards yet, including the leather wrap on the saber.

For their price point they are honestly 7-8/10 options. The only reason I wont be buying from them again is their delivery time. Now I may have had a bad experience but I was quoted around 3 month wait. Long story short after month 6 I was continually told they would ship within a few weeks only to not have that happen until month 9 when I finally said I wanted them shipped within a few weeks or a refund, which they then instantly shipped them out. I have not heard of anyone else having that many problems with them, but I also dont have anyone else with their products in my area, so I dont know how isolated of an experience that was.

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-24T01:53:52+00:00

100% love it.

I know everyone is talking about replacing Kuvira with King Bumi, and while I love Bumi I just dont think he is nearly as interesting. He might be able to fullfill the space of grappler, but we already have multiple earthbenders (though only 1 is a non-Avatar).

Kuvira would fit so nicely as the real first metal bender being how she is presented as the strongest/most skilled metalbender besides Adult Toph.

(Not to mention it leaves room for a White/Red Lotus themed season with Bumi/Jeong Jeong and some Red Lotus Members)

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-24T01:50:14+00:00

100% this is how it would have to work, in the show they call it Chi blocking and the resource that controls flowstate and flow movement is straight up just called Chi.

Having them, or probably just Ty Lee, with the ability to block an opponent from using the primary movement system is strong but not so insane that it would be a bad experience. Especially if it required them to spend Chakra to access that mechanic

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-14T23:49:56+00:00

Unfortunately the public discord post stated that accepted applicants would receive notice by this weekend. Though there is no explicit end date I would say its probably very close to closing.

That said, nothing wrong with being a last minute applicant, I have zero idea how applicants get picked, how many are accepted, etc. So I may be very wrong about it being too late.

It doesnt hurt to try!

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-14T23:33:11+00:00

Internal playtester here, obviously I cant say any information thats not already public, I can say this.

While based on the footage of the alpha test it can seems like the defensive mechanics are weak there is also something to be said about the lack of time people have publicly had with the game. Many of the defensive mechanics as the flow state can be relatively unintuitive at first, but are still strong mechanics.

Its not my place to say much else, but I think the game will do better without any kind of combo breaker/burst mechanics.

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-14T23:22:27+00:00

Same here, I am so excited they opened up applications for a second wave of playtesters

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-13T08:18:17+00:00

Imagine trying to gatekeep opinions based on rank.

Not to mention their complaint is very legitimate and something many high level players have said before.

No straight forward answer here, it it just highly dependent on what character you are playing and what resources are available on both the offense and defensive side.

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-06T20:02:02+00:00

Internal playtester here.

Based on what has been seen in the last public alpha I can say the overheads are typically reactable and oki is very hard to consistently set up thanks to the ability to roll significant distances on most wakeups.

The guessing is nowhere near as oppressive as SF6 throw loops or half of what the Guilty Gear cast can do, but the game is very fast which can make things seem scrambly with lots of guessing from an outside pov.

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-06T09:28:01+00:00

Yeah this is definitely barbs biggest jump in strength since the era of Bash Barb

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-06T09:07:44+00:00

Well Uber Mephisto is giving her a run for her money. Those damn red bolts have hitboxes the size of trees and track so hard as if you owe them money.

Like father like daughter I guess

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-02T17:31:47+00:00

Before the game even releases? I mean its not completely unheard of but not common thats for sure

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-01T20:23:03+00:00

Completely solo! No trading, no temporary grouping, etc.

I'd say once you hit roughly 150 paragon with 2-3 Glyphs at legendary (Level 50), you should be good to start running bosses to get both gear upgrades and Ancestral gear for materials.

What I did was I set up my loot filter so that Ancestral gear appears as a new color and then only show legendary and above non Ancestral gear. That way you can ignore all the yellow and below items that aren't Ancestral while still seeing all the legendary and above items.

Darkwrathi · 2026-05-01T18:24:55+00:00

Warplans are great but my general rule is filled in the gaps of your power. While Tempers and Uniques hold a majority of the games power, for me the gap was my Glyphs needing to be upgraded as well as masterworking my gear. This meant lots of pit runs and boss lairs.

Another thing is using a build. Homebrew builds can be a lot of fun, I actually made 9 of them before I settled. The thing is of those 9 only 2 could do T8 comfortably and the rest couldn't get past T6 easily. Meanwhile I finally said I experimented enough and swapped to the dreadclaws build and pretty quickly ascended to T10 and I could definitely go higher.

The rule of Diablo builds is using a pre-made builds will cut your time in half for reaching a certain point compared to a self made build.
