CCR is unique to Next Dimension! It stands for Combo Counter Reset and when triggered it resets the combo counter and damage scaling. But not gravity scaling, which is odd. CCR gives every character in the game access to insane damage and touch of deaths. It's awesome.

Would you wanna see a fan rebalance for this game to make it tournament viable or would you be down to play the vanilla. I grew up with this shit but didn't remember it being this deep. Came across your channel looking through old forums talking about how unclear it was to unlock dark phoenix. I played through the story and arcade so fuckin much for her and then had to do it all over when I lost my memory card.
@sandalwoodgrips16 күн бұрын
Yoooo I think any kind of balance would be great if this game had a competitive scene, but frankly I would miss all the absurd jank. The jank is what made me really fall in love with Next Dimension. I do play this with folks on Dolphin and PSC2 occasionally and rounds can be as one-sided as it looks when I nuke the AI, but that's part of the charm at this point. Glad you find these vids dude. Hopefully you enjoy the trip down memory lane! I've got hundreds and hundreds of videos going over every nook and cranny of this game, dig in and let me know what you think! And Dark Phoenix is just an unlock code away yo! Otherwise you gotta get a perfect on Bastion in story mode and nobody's got time for that!
@Mystic_Eddie16 күн бұрын
@sandalwoodgrips I never knew about the code, and there was a ton of misleading information on what actually unlocked her. When I got her I didn't really even know what did it. Still it's crazy comparing it to tekken 8, alot of the mechanics align. I feel like without any infinites or t.o.d it could be competitive without changing of the frames or anything too crazy.
