Blade Strangers - Every Super Move

[@Bowl-0f-Soup]

I like how most of the roster is so obscure most people don’t even know it’s an Indie Crossover fighting game, and just think it has a few indie guest characters

[@gwynjustice6664]

It’s funny you mention that because I for real saw solange and said to my self “…wait code of princess?”

[@goldskarr]

Well shovel knight, cave story, Isaac, gunvolt, they're all relatively popular as far as indies go. Umihara Kawase's games go back pretty far as well if I recall correctly. Anba looks like the dude from LA Mulana which I remember as a sort of rage game from the early KZbin days. I guess the one shown right after Gunvolt was someone from 2 or 3 because I don't remember her from the first one. Really the only one i don't recognize in any way (I know code of princess is also relatively obscure but the first four characters shown are from said game) is Piaa, who the hell even is that?

[@vonakakkola]

i was suspecting this until you gave me confirm that they're only crossover characters

[@magoo2133]

Admittedly, until I read the description, I thought this was completely fake. Now I wanna see other videos on this and learn more.

[@DoctorBadvibes]

@@magoo2133 I honestly had no idea what it was until I grabbed it on a Steam sale. It's pretty fun. I'll probably put a few more videos up. I have Isaac's story mode up so far.

[@kingbash6466]

Love how absolutely massive Shovel Knight is in this game. What makes it even funnier is that Shield Knight is almost twice his size, which means she would be a behemoth compared to every other character here.

[@ivanmegafanboy1981]

The Umihara Kawase games are characterized by the people as a cutesy puzzle game for wholesome people, so I am amazed that they would give her a bikini skin. Oh, she stabbing peeople to death? Ye, don't know where that came from.

[@-AirKat-]

The fact that the summer skin is an evil form is even more wild, but hey, it confused me enough to try Umihara Kawase & try to figure out what’s going on (I still don’t understand, but had fun).

[@Osmarsan_VR]

@@-AirKat-umihara kawase is not a cute puzzle game, it’s more of a bizarre platformer with hook mechanics, Kawase is part of my childhood and her Time Attack Speedruns might not be too famous but all are amazing to watch, She is a wandering chef as far as I remember, Enjoy the games as much as you want man :) I always wish theres a new entry in her saga.

[@SinaelDOverom]

That's part of her backstory which is rather dark, especially for cutesy platformer.

[@christopherchasteen4990]

And Quote has the most intricate combo.

[@Edzward]

WTAF!?!? I did not expect to see Umihara Kawase in a fighting game, even less she being a Iori Yagami level psycho! 🤯

[@DoctorBadvibes]

@@Edzward I had no idea who Kawase was … I assumed she was some horror game or something. Then I googled and was like wtf!

[@Neetso]

Yep, seeing her out of all people here was the reason I clicked on this video, lol.

[@therighttrousers343]

Like the slow beats and heavy hitstop, and how the supers build off of previous versions. Sometimes I look at a super and think "are you sure you had to stop there?" And apparently these guys thought the same thing, especially with Quote, Quote just lays in and keeps going and does his level best to provide a very good answer to that question. Also Kayase crouching over and knifing the enemy a lot is a beautiful thing, love that kind of brutality. One day we'll have a meter burn super to keep thumping the other guy in the ribs and stomach with an exacto.
