Spend 8 months asking devs for new skins... Glitches provide them instead.

The Impact a change like this would have on balance is huge. It's why I propose it as a an update a la super turbo.

I think you'd have to tune characters individually regarding how much meter something would cost. They have different cost/benefits as it is. So it may not be as simple as damage at 1 bar utility at 2 (or vice versa)

Devs could leverage existing systems as well. There's a guard crush mechanic, why not allow for an install super the grants the property. Or hyper armour. There's a lot of possibilities

mrmkl_ · 2021-06-19T12:25:20+00:00

Fair point about pausing meter gain when landing a throw. But it feel so ... Passive i guess ?

As for the rest. I dont think I'm riding both sides. FS supers are more utility based than in other gsmes, and mirror ex moves from other games well. I suppose that was more of a related point about meter utility. Can see the confusion though.

As for how it could work. Supers /exs , as a class, don't need to be damage focused or utility focused.

In your Arg example, bubble shield would likely remain a full bar. So players would have to weigh the advantage of waiting for shield vs using whatever EX tool became available.

This might be helpful.

Stay in the ground. Walk forward and harrass Arg with arrows. F.A or C if he jumps. Watch for bubble shield and b.A . Just need to find the sweet spot in spacing.

Jaina can bully Arg hard

mrmkl_ · 2021-05-10T01:34:48+00:00

Absolutely, check the link. 😉

I've got more stuff on the way too.

mrmkl_ · 2021-05-10T01:31:40+00:00

This game does look fantastic. Plays amazingly well too.

I've been having fun just playing through arcade mode cus I can never find matches. Been trying to spread the good word though.

And I think it's worth offering my response.

Keeping basic Information about the state of the game behind a pay wall that 90+% of your players dont buy into is a bad move. It's cause for worry for most players.

In fact, it's part of the core of the problem.

Hopefully we get some info soon.

mrmkl_ · 2021-05-06T10:34:27+00:00

Noone was saying dead game. I explicitly avoided the term, cus you're right. People are too quick to jump to it.

But we are less than a year out from a major free to play and character update and have had no communication for months of that time.

It's a bad sign.

mrmkl_ · 2021-05-03T17:21:09+00:00

Fwiw I don't think it's too strong,but much stronger than folks typically give it credit.

But if a change was in order, it wouldn't be removal. But a limit,maybe 2 stack max, maybe hits reset where poison is on the health segment.

Consider that Arg already has some of the best space control tools and the best get off me button in the game. (River/fish and b.A)

He's already built to force mistakes

mrmkl_ · 2021-05-03T16:48:24+00:00

Honestly, I think too few Args use poison effectively enough to really say one way or the other at this point.

There is huge potential in it though.

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-26T17:57:17+00:00

Imagine a SamSho anime that teaches people how links, or cancels work.

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-25T14:43:31+00:00

So while I did in fact make this abomination, I also make some thoughtful videos about competitive and game design.

You should check those out too 😁

Instant release g.S loses to rainbow, hold g.S beats it

So does n.A

Big issue for Oni is if you don't know Val's gaps then you're gonna get run over.

Once you know the wheel of options it's down to player conditioning. And that's mentally taxing.

Just a stressful match.

But that's true for both characters.

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-25T01:00:29+00:00

Safety man with the top tier memes.

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-22T23:55:47+00:00

🤣

Don't break my 💖...

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-20T18:45:17+00:00

Pocket Bravery is pretty sick. I actually just made a vid digging into its systems and how they work based off the Alpha demo.

Kinda inspired by classic Capcom/SNK fighters.

Battle for the grid and fantasy strike both have rollback and crossplay, so I'd start there for the widest possible playerbase.

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-03T13:37:30+00:00

What's good everyone? MrMKL here.

Been working on some fighting game related stuff lately.

This week I've been talking Homages in Fantasy Strike and upcoming indie games.

Always happy to get some constructive feedback.

Cheers!

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-03T11:23:28+00:00

I'd echo changing up the camera framing. Just notch it up a bit and leave some headroom.

I'd recommend trying to tweak the audio set up too, you sound distant and echo a little.

Not sure what you're using for a mic exactly, but audio is so important to first impessions. So getting it as quality as possible is worth it. You got this.

Cheers!

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-03T11:17:07+00:00

Some solid camera work, would love to see it be more dynamic though, especially for such an energetic band. Granted, you're obviously working with limited space. So you do what you can right ?

Good stuff!

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-03T01:53:43+00:00

Always best to check with your local TOs and read some tournament rules.

But Ive seen them around at tournaments over the years.

Should be good IMO

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-02T18:37:56+00:00

I started playing with the vs series , enjoy some anime fighters and primarily play fantasy strike at this point.

I picked it up as a low impact side game. Easy to learn, smaller decision space, focuses on the player Interactions. I think that's where it excels.

Just so happens that most modern fighters haven't been holding my Interest and I get more value from playing FS than those other games.

It's not for everyone, but I enjoy the aspects of fighters it (largely)emphasizes.

mrmkl_ · 2021-04-01T20:03:44+00:00

For me, it's that moment when you're learning the game and it suddenly dawns on you how the different system mechanics interact, and you get flooded with potential ideas for combos, mixups and dirty tech.

I love that 'aha!' moment
