Sometimes I feel completely disconnected with the general audiences (especially regarding this fighting game genre), I prefer the very balanced approach of KOF 2002 for example, a bazillion characters but all of them have balanced move sets, even the bosses are balanced (if the player is using them, of course). But Max and many other fighting game fans enjoy the busted side of things, which is ironic considering how Max hate Vergil and Dark Phoenix. So how much broken you need to be before crossing this line so to speak? For me, I don't like busted characters at all, in any genre, it's just not fun to play with them.

It’s funny people compare this to xrd a lot when it’s actually closer to dbfz. They use very similar coloring and effects and smear frames are used more like dbfz than xrd. The result is that this game pops a bit more and feels clearer in motion than xrd was. That’s not a jab at xrd either, that was their first attempt at their now trademark art style. But this game is very decidedly better looking than xrd. It’s just no going for the pseudo realism strive aimed for with the dynamic lighting and more washed color palette.

This is still going to be a highly controversial topic for a while. While I agree there's no real reason to have motion inputs (specials don't need to be locked behind a what is technically a skill test, regardless of how simple that test may be to pass*), there is definitely a kind of joy I get from doing a complex string and watching it unfold. There are people who purposefully pick difficult characters because they enjoy the challenge, and I think that this motion-optional style, where there's a minor, but still extant benefit to using traditional circles and DPs, is a good choice moving forward. Note: I'm not saying "fireballs r hard" here. There's plenty of video essays on the feel of specials or on how genius it is that you can't block for the entire motion of a DP. What I'm getting at is that I think button specials will help draw in an audience, and once they're invested, they will be FAR more _willing_ to put in the time practicing DPs for the additional benefit. Or maybe they won't, since not everyone wants to go pro. The system in DNF is far better than any "Stylish" mode has ever been.

[@PathFinder1490]

@@SomeRandomDude821 Exactly on point. I’m trying to remember if it was UMvC who introduced simplified controls but damage output was decreased. Similar to Granblue VS where button-specific skills take longer to regenerate rather than using inputs. Learning specific inputs definitely feels more rewarding once mastered.

@@SH1NK1R01 Not really. I mean once you get used to just using the block button against crossups and fuzzy blocking against the empty jump lows that every character without a command grab has to rely on, most characters can’t really do anything to you if you just block it out. All most of them have is strike-throw, but throw gives pretty much no oki, doesn’t do much damage, and is easier for Grappler to punish than any other character because his jump heavy has the best combination of startup and downward vertical range. All this in addition to being a crossup, the single most plus jump I’m in the game, and a top tier combo starter that can lead into a hit confirmable 40% combo with hard knockdown. For characters to actually punish you doing this they have to either end their pressure early and call it out(Grappler has two great anti air moves for that situation) of stagger their pressure which then allows him to threaten his high damage reversal which has the unique privilege of granting a hard knockdown with no extra cost from any range as long as you counter a some kind of physical attack. And once the opponent starts respecting counter, you can dash block your way in and roll or yolo shoulder charge through most attempts to beat the counter with projectiles. TL;DR Respect Grappler. He’s a fucking menace whenever the person using him actually understands the RPS in this game.

>Dodge Roll >Dive kick >Spinning kick which is plus on block >Rush punch You have all these options. Use them.

[@SH1NK1R01]

Striker has literally no problem getting in. Her shoulder tackle alone completely stuffs most attacks and wall bounces for a combo. Her slide kick reaches from dumb far and is a great punish since it converts easily. Also she actually does quite a lot of damage but she is a combo reliant character, she will never win in single hit trades. She wants to get you open to start a combo and end in to pressure to chain a new combo. This is especially the case once she’s awakened. Her awakening effectively removes combo scaling and gives her almost a full tod and wall to wall carry. But again this is combo reliant and if you don’t have a bnb down for her launchers then she feels like a low damage character.

[@RavenCloak13]

@@janematthews9087 Honestly the only one of those I had problems dealing with was her divekick into light punches because it switches what it counts as when your blocking high.

Me, also using Vanguard: "I'm you but with more range and meterless 40 hit combos off a single convert." Ranger: "Bang~" This isn't even getting into how Enchantress, Mechanic and Trouble Shooter are probably going to play like.

[@joshuagumbs5046]

I played striker exclusively for this beta for this reason actually. I figured I’d challenge myself by playing her and now I main her. Striker is one of those “keep me out while u can, cause if u don’t and I start cookin, u don’t get to play for the rest of the game” type characters. The shoulder charge alone goes not only projectiles, but projectile based moves as well. This actually includes ALL off Ghostblades ghost attacks for some reason. Divekick is a move your opponents are forced to respect cause they either have to avoid it, know for sure it’s coming and counter, or sit and block which is a scary thing to do when Strikers 2s is a combo starter. Her uppercut dp can actually be used as a combo starter counter because using another special b4 u leave the ground cancels the jump part and leads into said special, meaning that you essentially have an invincible combo starter. At this point Striker has more than enough ability to get in, it’s just question of where….

I’m not just saying this because I had a bad experience but because it once looked like my opponent should have hit me with one (I’m referring to the cinematic move that takes place in a barren wasteland) but I instead got the upper hand, I believe if anything my move should have passed through them even though they whiffed it and I did not get hit ( I think that would be considered us staying in or going back into neutral?) but yeah an ultimate leaves you completely open. I think my reason for talking about this can boil down to the fact that there isn’t any clashes between two attacks, as seen in the video ( I also slowed down the playback speed of the video to see if I was correct) where Ghostblade’s 3 hit heavy attack’s third slash was in motion but Hitman’s half screen slash was also in motion, where instead of neither party getting hurt Ghostblade lost and got hit giving Hitman the upper hand at the time of impact.

[@bruhder5854]

Both are good. Ghost blade has some fatal drawbacks for how good he is though. He has no quick counter/opener like a dp or anything so you really have to commit yourself.

Everyone in this game is completely capable of destroying you same like in strive …

[@thesavagemonster2910]

Does anyone know if this is coming out on Steam, assuming Arc systems is making it? If so, would it be later in the year compared to a Playstation release?

[@GTmaster09]

Yup, PC version is coming to Steam at the same as the other versions

if everything is busted then it becomes a matter of skill and knowledge and thats what fighting games should be about

[@Splatter5524]

It feels like they should make the block button lock you in a direction and have it so you need to repress the button to block on the other side.

[@HunterForHire422]

I agree.

[@ano2101]

That would defeat the purpose of a block button

[@phabiorules]

I disagree. The way it currently works is that you can use the block button, but your guard gage will be depleted faster than holding back. If you have to press it again everytime they switch direction, why wouldn't people just hold back instead?

[@Splatter5524]

@@phabiorules I completely forgot about that mechanic... thanks for the reminder

[@Splatter5524]

After seeing some replies I would replace the suggestion with just adding a perfect block function if they lack it right now. I can't think of a proper caveat for the mechanic.

Striker needs a Buff, from what it looks like, every Character (except maybe Grappler) has more Range than her and also does more dmg and the only Character. And her Mobility also doesn't seem that great to make up for the lack of range.

[@Sakaki98]

I’d also add that her gap closers, 2M and 6H, have way more end lag than they should for the range they have. No reason they should leave her more vulnerable than Vanguard and Inquisitor normals 🤣

[@lobster6736]

isnt she considered top 3

[@HunterForHire422]

I'm 90% sure when people learn her in the full game people will regret saying she needs buffs.

[@pikachuattack542]

I'll be honest... I cringed quite a bit as a Striker main, seeing that one Striker not really getting the combos needed, or the hard knockdown in the corner, or the jump heavy otg oki.

That Dragon Knight player…did not get to play

[@GambitCrowe]

Can't wait for this game to come out so i can spend hours in practice then get my butt kicked online lol

[@joaov2374]

This game is cool. Hope it doesnt die quick like granblue fantasy

[@DanTheMagic8Ball]

Its crazy to me that they don't have local vs mode. 4 people passing a controller to fight randos online isn't ideal.

[@hellwashere3821]

They do. u go on Local play, free combat and than player 2 goes right or left.

[@Phlegmatic-]

Is everyone is broken then the game is balanced

[@loufiggs2947]

Why isn't everyone using ghostblade?

[@ano2101]

Cause striker

[@knox7945]

Max, you should play Dead Space, especially when the remake is coming out.

[@3P3KVisuals]

still cant find it on PS store or app on PS5/mobile. PS Store is awful. Guess I jus gotta watch Max play, smh

[@djsiddiki3430]

This game is similar to that Rurouni Kenshin game on PSP

[@TheSonofagunny]

Max be reading people like children books

[@MissHamilton421]

Come on Max, its 2022, everything has suck power. lol

[@tylerganske3788]

"Everyone is busted" - Proceeds to not lose a single match against any character; conclusion, Ghostblade is overtuned or all the other players in the video would not be in the same MMR rank when the game goes live.

[@stevemeters3090]

Sadly most things have "suck power."
