Ok, bring interactive intros back to Strive, they're funny

[@thefreeburningspirit]

For those who don't know, all the unique intros that involve taking/dealing damage and distance advantage/disadvantage are story mode gimmicks as handicaps for certain fights to reflect the interaction the characters had before the fight started. Unique intros that keep you in default position and health exist and are the ones you see in every other match that's not from story mode.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

what I hate about IK is they spend massive budget and effort for something we see in 100 games

That's why plus r had it short and sweet

[@Se7enRemain]

@@sevianusluciano325 Stuns are decently common on certain characters. Robo Ky can stun you off of standing K in the corner. You could be at full health, but if he has meter, you're eating a 50/50 that could lead into IK

[@LucidButtonMasher]

IKs are super sick and if they work like they do in xrd where certain conditions and only certain combos will work for them, it would be good

[@DizzyTrendermen]

@@LucidButtonMasher I’d be fine if they weren’t exactly combo-able but still land able in very specific situations. Since damage is so high it wouldn’t exactly feel out of place that way imo.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

I mean in that case just make it not invuln during it so you can't cheese rounds with it

[@DizzyTrendermen]

@@LucidButtonMasher Oh, I didn’t even realize they were invuln to be honest, never been swung at while using one.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

That's why I feel like keeping it able to combo into for very very small circumstances while making it not invulnerable I think would be pretty interesting. Probably would have to pop into instant kill form before the combo anyway so it's not very common
