Don't mess with me...I got GUNS! RANGER - DNF Duel Beta Online Matches

[@Aikrehn]

Ranger is one of those characters, where even if he ended up being the worst, there'd still be tons of people playing him purely for how cool his moves look.

[@nicolasvillasecaali7662]

Forget the moves, have you seen the amount of swagger this guy oozes? People will main him for that alone, the rest of good things will just boost that number.

[@RevilloPhoenix]

Well, also, Ranger is the noob stomper for sure. If you don't know how to handle him, he can zone people for days with just normal shots, for that, a lot of beginners will pick him up to own other beginners.

[@thehellionrevisited2704]

Honestly IRL I enjoy guns, and revolvers even more so, plus I main Ranger in DFO so that's a plus.

24:11 you can even see the lighting of the gunfire on dragon knight while she's near the guns. Good detail.

17:18 I didn't know max was a driller!

[@RoaringTide]

Was just watching the VOD of this session. Dragon Knight was being called OP, and she definitely seems good (as does everyone on the roster in their own ways, frankly), but that Rycroft guy also just looked like a really solid DK player.

[@Gailardia_Galan]

I use Dragon Knight and I think she is very good but honestly, I think Crusader is WAY more OP than her tbh.

[@peupater7414]

As a Dragon Knight main, I think she's decently fair, just dont jump into her projectile and you're good. Also, don't get caught off guard by her forward skill, that shit's huge.

[@kingdess0]

Donkey Kong?

[@samuraispartan7000]

Based on what I’ve seen, Crusader is really the only one that deserves the title of “OP.” Most people I played against struggled to get past his heavy attack spam. His medium attack/wall special combo string is pretty absurd. With full meter, you can get 70-80% damage within like 5 seconds.

[@OrderedAffairs]

Dragon knight is well rounded and in no way overpowered, I can name three characters better than her pretty easily, Crusader is hands down the best character in the open beta with Kunoichi likely right behind him. Me being a dragon knight player saying this

[@projectkaitk1258]

Seeing max having this much fun warms my heart, I'm glad this game just decided to come out of nowhere and be this amazing 😆👌

[@LandofBrickForests]

Yeah, it's been quite a enjoyable ride keeping track of everything that has been revealed with the out of nowhere situation for this game. Definitely a rare experience for the marketing style taken for a fighting game.

[@knavenformed9436]

My god I've never actually done frame-by-frame analysis of a fighting game's footage before but seeing Ranger's playstyle revolve around guns, but needing precision and build up forward momentum to brawl is so cool to see. There's this and the other type of gun character like Deadshotg in IJ2

[@duggyfresh8899]

Ranger and Striker are definitely my favorite characters. Learned real fast though that inquisitor is definitely a hard match for Ranger. If she dashes through a normal and gets close you basically almost lose the round if they flame wheel

[@authurstretchygreenthing8464]

It's gonna need more tweaking than that, but I've seen things like RWBY and P4 get crossed over with BlazBlue, and this same publisher made another fighter based off a really good mobile game, so to be honest? I can see it. We just gotta yell loud enough.

You should be doing neutral special during those strings instead of forward as your finisher, just thought I would let you know. Can't wait for this game!

[@lhemi52]

I love this game so far, but does anyone else feel this game would benefit from increased walk speed in the entire cast and increased sprint speed in a few of them? As someone who played a lot of Grappler, it felt like hell having to try to get in against literally anything with a disjoint as his sprint was just so chunky

[@user-ux4gu2lh8c]

[@vulgarl9695]

MAX long time Dfoer here just some combo tips based on the base game. As ranger when you knock someone away try to combo with steep slide (the blue foot launcher where you slide) Also if you use wild shot (shooting 360) while the opponent is right above you it should juggle instead of knock back. As for the windmill rising combo (the one where you spin kick em in the air.) Use basic attacks until you get to the ground. Then do whatever (try grab I'm not sure but it might work like Bbq from dfo a grab that works in combo.)

[@sonictj3]

Now i wan Max to play ACTUAL Dungeon Fighter Online

[@LemonCreature]

This game's looking really cool. The characters in DFO (was browsing the site) look really awesome too, and I'd love to see them all realized as characters here. Probably an unrealistic wish considering how many of them there are lol (and that they get new ones from time to time as well). I really hope this comes to PC, I'd love to give it a whirl. That Rycroft player made Dragon Knight look super cool as well. edit: yeah they're really selling me on Dragon Knight lol.

[@nzrock1]

lol you're right about new classes continuously coming out, they just announced/showed the 5th Male Gunner class yesterday.

[@LemonCreature]

damn lol, I should go take a peak at what it may be. I'm half tempted to give the actual game (DFO) a shot, but I'm wondering how much you'd have to spend in order to play each character. I imagine you'd need quite a few character slots or something in order to do so? I know next to nothing about the game honestly, so maybe you don't need a slot per class/character? Just feel like there may be some money spending involved to play them all given it's a Free to play game with a steady stream of content/characters on offer.

[@victorokonkwo2041]

@@LemonCreature They give you 21 character slots for free by default. You won't be able to take every character to endgame without paying, but you can switch your classes once for free, and then with gold (ingame currency) until level 69. You can also try classes in advance before choosing one. So it's not as restrictive as you think it is

[@LemonCreature]

@@victorokonkwo2041 Well that sounds fair to me. I guess I'll go ahead and try it out later lol. If I end up enjoying it enough maybe I'll throw some money at it. It certainly looks like a game I'll enjoy. But thanks a lot for the info there, that sets some of my worries at ease.

[@nzrock1]

@@LemonCreature I personally haven't played in a few years, but I recall at least around 14 free slots, the rest you gotta pay or wait for them to slowly lift the free slot limit(because of new updates every year), and yeah it's 1 subclass per slot. The "p2w" part is only if you don't wanna spent a month or two getting to the newest endgame/3rd awakening. IMO, it's honestly fine just spending a few weeks getting to 2nd awakening to see how 8ing will adapt those classes to the fighting game, because DNFD is based around early game of the MMO, not late endgame.

[@Mene0]

This game looks beautiful

[@cheezypotatoes]

You can pretty reliably follow up 4S with 5MS on Ranger, and it pushes the opponent away full screen. I also watched Infiltration use 2S into 214MS which I never got to work but looks sweet.

[@DemonsFlame]

This game lived up to the hype for me personally, had even more fun in DNF than I did Strive and this was only a beta with one available mode, the full release is gonna be awesome.

[@Deathcardcodwaw]

Also day 1 for all players including pros. Very little knowledge of what to abuse and nothing mattered much for a competitive player as it's a good chance a lot of moves will be adjusted before release. GGSt felt the same. Imo you can't really judge a fighting game till a month after release. I don't see this game ever surpassing gg or dbz in terms of popularity

[@alfredcampbell4908]

Ranger needs a reason to be feared, I would say have the grande hit an opponent if caught not blocking or dashing in carelessly and then bounce off them landing closer towards ranger if blocked before exploding. Striker needs a flurry of punches that ends in an upper cut and chain into combos.

[@DaneNerro9]

Honestly, the grenade is better as is in terms of a mind game option. Not to mention it blocks projectiles and detonates anyways, caught a few Kunoichi players with the grenade while they backpedaled with aerial kunai skill.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

@@DaneNerro9 As someone who was also playing Ranger but still learning his shit, I had many a moment where I would get a combo into the grenade by accident because I'd just throw one out hoping for the best. I love it.

[@saterdei]

How to finish ground combos with ranger: spam neutral special, you can do it until you run out of MP. When to convert cancel: after forward special, when you're right over their heads, cancel into rain bullet and spam it until you're dry. You're welcome.
