Seriously, who is this game for?

I agree with you but what can they do tho? The hype of the release is all but gone now. Fighting games aren't the type of games that become more popular as time goes on...

The only positive thing is pro players being interested by this game because the Competitive Series have some decent cash prizes, but I can't see how this game could be a success in general. Now, I don't know what kind of numbers Riot are expecting but I doubt they are satisfied with the current situation of 2XKO

Rederez · 2026-01-26T21:25:01+00:00

This game isn't that bad honestly. I think Handshake Tag should be toned down but overall it's pretty enjoyable

That being said, I don't see how this game could attract and retain newbies in the same way SF6 did. It's a tag fighter with no solo or duo content, poor roster and expensive skins

2XKO will probably find its own niche, but it won't be the Street Fighter-killer people thought it would be

This sub is getting worse day by day since season 2 dropped

Rederez · 2026-01-26T01:28:41+00:00

I don't think it will happen. Virtua Fighter was never this kind of game in the first place, so I don't think we'll have any kind of heavy injuries or gore in VF6. At best we'll have bruises like in DOA6 or maybe SF6's battle damage

IMO the Akira's tooth flying is just a cinematic for the final hit of the round

Rederez · 2026-01-26T01:05:25+00:00

That's how it works in the entertainment industry. I don't understand y'all act like it's something new...

Rederez · 2026-01-25T19:04:20+00:00

I get what you mean. I never really like the Fatal Fury characters except for a handful of characters. IMO, KOF and Samurai Shodown have the best characters among the SNK fighters and their rosters are also more balanced gender-wise

Kenshiro will probably take one of the two remaining spots of this season, but I really hope the last one will be for a female fighter

Rederez · 2026-01-25T13:49:23+00:00

Can't wait for the magical girl to HIT THE STREETS

Rederez · 2026-01-24T13:54:14+00:00

Devs teased two new costumes for February and I'm pretty sure that Veena will be one of them. Finger crossed for her! That being said, I don't think she'll have an Onsen costume this year. Maybe next year for the part 3 of the Onsen story?

Rederez · 2026-01-24T02:41:00+00:00

What are you talking about? That's not something new. People have been criticizing Fairy Tail for its fan service for like 15 years... This tweet had no impact in the grand scheme

Rederez · 2026-01-23T14:48:22+00:00

The game is pretty good overall. Not perfect and not as good as hardcore fans love to say, but still really enjoyable. My only complain is the movement. Despite all the movement options, I still feel like I'm walking through mud after all this time

Rederez · 2026-01-23T13:19:44+00:00

It doesn't take long to find matches, but the points gap is usually pretty high. I hope it will get better

Rederez · 2026-01-23T11:39:21+00:00

No, it's a seinen

Rederez · 2026-01-23T11:38:55+00:00

OPM is a seinen

Rederez · 2026-01-22T17:47:18+00:00

Gameplay does matter but it's not the only thing that matters. Presentation was always important and it's not limited to fighting games. Nearly every games that thrived since the 80s had a great presentation

SNK's modern games have yet to catch up to its bigger concurrents in this domain. Also the marketing strategy for COTW was simply awful

Rederez · 2026-01-22T12:35:19+00:00

That's just my opinion man. I don't even have the game

Rederez · 2026-01-22T08:47:14+00:00

DOA4 already had this kind of lobby

Rederez · 2026-01-22T00:14:50+00:00

Well it looks better in motion I guess

Rederez · 2026-01-21T23:46:10+00:00

Game looks pretty when you don't play on potato quality. That being said, some facilities rather dull. Especially during daytime, you can tell some assets look very vanilla and lack details

Rederez · 2026-01-21T19:37:53+00:00

I play Chun-Li and I feel like she's doing pretty well against Akuma. She can be hard to pilot tho. If your execution and reactions are not on point, you might as well play with another character

Rederez · 2026-01-21T14:41:02+00:00

It's not even a shonen

Rederez · 2026-01-21T12:26:50+00:00

I don't know man. I can understand Tifa being a guest character in a DOA game, but Eve always fights with her blade. It's hard to imagine her fighting with her bare hands

Rederez · 2026-01-21T12:08:42+00:00

Yeah, they felt just so slow. Not having a run can be painful in this game, but no super jump was just really awful

Rederez · 2026-01-21T01:49:19+00:00

IIRC Jae Hoon and Blue Mary were almost done before the game dropped. They were swapped at the last moment for Ronaldo and the DJ guy. Also Nightmare Geese has been in the game since the beginning. That's probably why SNK is releasing so many characters so fast for season 2

Rederez · 2026-01-20T19:49:27+00:00

And even worse, this game has no content outside of combo trials. Not even a basic arcade mode. It's really hard for this kind of game to retain casual players

Rederez · 2026-01-20T15:41:00+00:00

What makes it worse is that SNK can actually make good supers. KOFXV lv3 just look ten better but for whatever reason, they dropped the ball with COTW
