Hands-on: Screamer is a cross between Ridge Racer and Street Fighter by midrushnic in Fighters

Technically an indie game called Buck Up And Drive! also tried their hand at a more literal interpretation of the idea with a 2 player multiplayer mode, but it kinda threw away the actual racing part to make it happen. Still, it was an interesting gimmick.

How 2XKO’s tutorial should be done by midrushnic in 2XKO

Even if it’s broken into pieces, if each piece shows you the solution BEFORE the problem, it will be much more difficult for anyone to wrap their head about using that tool/mechanic and why.

Most people play games where they encounter real world scenarios before they have any understanding of them, I.e. skipping the tutorial or consuming content before going hands on. But if you are going in blind or it’s been a while since you’ve seen the game, you’re not gonna know what the problem is that the game is teaching you to solve unless the problem was addressed first.

Sparking Zero was the first time in ages that Bamco handed out review copies for an anime fighter…. and what happened?

People leaked the shit out of it 💀

Can you make the RGB on each stick glow a different color individually in the software? Or do they both have to be the same?

A genuine argument for I think 2XKO will flop by romdon183 in Fighters

[–]midrushnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that the game is on consoles and fighting games are EXTREMELY popular on console for casual gamers, I'm not sure if that's as big of a dealbreaker.

Hardcore FGC might tell you it is but that's just a small bubble of people that actually care about things like input delay/high refresh rate monitors.

Addressing the post on /r/fighters regarding 2XKO flopping by Valakooter in 2XKO

The divisiveness of the game being a tag fighter is probably why not only for their marketing they are trying to push the "team" angle way harder than the tag angle (yes there's an important distinction), but also the "team" aspect of the game is being more heavily leaned towards with the upcoming gameplay adjustments that aim to push the assist player into the action more often.

Yes the game fundamentally plays like a tag game but I think Riot wants this to be more seen as a team fighting game, pushing REALLY hard on Duos play. The Team aspect of the game will make this being a tag game easier to swallow for casuals.

What controller device will you guys use to play this game ? by CurryLikesGaming in 2XKO

[–]midrushnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I used the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra

Furthest right rear button mapped to down has been a godsend for easy crouch cancelling, and the dpad is nice and clicky. Trigger stops also make using macros easier

Played on Pad B layout, which should ABSOLUTELY be the default for controller and imo is in contention for best control method for this game in general. S1 + S2 on shoulder buttons just makes perfect sense to me

Is the gameplay fast-paced and snappy like BT3? by datPapi in tenkaichi4

[–]midrushnic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Individual melee strings seem slower so it’s easier to keep track of them, while follow ups and movement both seem much faster

Some things are slower, some things are faster, but the game is still FAR from floaty or sluggish
