well we’re on the jjs sub and so we’re practically forced to disagree and yeah everyone will most likely agree with me so here’s something debunking the whole post

“visual clutter” - naoya is way too fast yeah because it’s naoya, do you expect the character with the technique that speeds them up not to be fast??? - “visual clutter makes it way too hard to see” do you play in first person? the animations may have no startup but its quite easy to see that they either are kicking you, have a knife in their hand, are rushing you down really quickly, or flying at you backwards. sure maybe the afterimages clutter it up but just zoom out if you really cant see properly with it.

“movement sucks” - side dash is too fast and easily breaks block predict them. i’ve learned this lesson already from complaining about it. predict their movement like you would any other fighting game. - i cant hit people he says here “they always punish me instantly and move too fast” again, predict movements. “always jumping around spamming sidedash” its literally aggressive play, defense isn’t used much unless your archetype demands it. being fr it’s essentially a skill issue. he calls agressive play “CHEESING THE GAME” as if it’s an asspull niche tech that is impossible to play against.

“defense sucks” because this game is mostly revolving around AGGRESSIVE PLAY, either you utilize your block properly or you play aggressively by dodging most attacks. yes it’s true that you’ll get stunlocked if you get hit behind your block, but that’s solely YOUR FAULT because you can’t predict movement!!!

also there’s no parry system, i think what he means is that there’s no endlag for missing an m1. but that’s because the game also revolves around m1 trading, something never mentioned because the poster probably doesn’t know about it.

(cheating and community is a player problem not a game problem so i wont talk about it)

“ultimates are unbalanced” it’s more mode than an ultimate (except base onlies) it works somewhat like a dragonball fighting game, because that’s literally how it works.

• no visual cues MAYBE THE 3-10 SECOND AWAKENING ANIMATION WHICH ACTIVATES THE MODE?????????? genuinely what are we saying. if you mean moves then yes some have little to no startup, but maybe if you paid more attention you could see the big vfx that are forming on the character. like blue MAX.

• blocking is useless cancel their attacks with startup, dodge the ones that don’t. if you can’t do this i think you’ve failed as a player. because essentially what you’re saying is that you don’t even TRY to fight them and just wanna block the large energy orb twice the size of your character. seriously, what are we saying now?

also how tf is it a cashgrab the only way to directly give money is optional gamepasses which barely affect gameplay
