@@LeonMassey Explain more about this "02 rollback announcement", please. I screwed around with KoF 13 a little while ago and found it fun, but haven't been able to play against anyone because of the netcode, playerbase, and my tendency to graze from game to game rather than really sink my teeth into them. I think I have a few of the earlier KoF games, but they run on some sort of horrible NeoGeo or arcade machine emulator program that makes me press buttons to put more coins in, has awkward controls, and won't let me rebind the buttons I use. Of the fighting games I have, I'm mostly screwing around in Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, or playing some Soul Calibur 6.

[@LeonMassey]

@@Thalanox So KOF02 on steam is getting rollback, so the netcode is getting way better. The emulation is actually really good it's just the networking before was DOGGY DOO DOO but that's getting fixed now. The player base will most likely still be players who are REALLY good, but because of rollback there's going to be an influx of players who are also not stellar (THAT'S ME) so if you go on the discord for games it should be ok even if you're not too deep into it already.

Imagine the dev's trying to explain and balance a meterless move that's +37 in this day and age

[@cryesix128]

It still uses resources, Order-Sol's Charge meter. Getting to Level 3 Charge while trying to not get hit by your opponent would be hard unless you're standing full screen far away. Furthermore, it will drain all that resource if you just charged barely at Level 3 although Action Charging does alleviate this somewhat by giving some Charge to get to Level 2 quick unless you have more charge than just hitting Level 3. Comboing off it will net you near to 200 damage for damage scaling with the Order-Sol's hardest hitting meterless combo.

[@remixtheidiot5771]

Story wise ken and ryu being clones makes sense as well since both of them were trained by the same teachers so of course they would have a similar moveset.

[@AlluMan96]

This wasn't something I had ever thought about seriously until recently. It was always just easy to brush off and laugh at clone characters just being a developer's cheat day, but it was in Guilty Gear, where I finally realized how much I appreciate having a personality swap for a moveset. Sometimes in a fighting game, there is a character that literally reaches out to you. The playstyle, the mechanics, the menalities those former two emphasize and reward, it's like the character was made to be an exension of you within the game. Sometimes, that character is Jam Kuradoberi and you cry. There have been alot of trials and tribulations in me getting into Guilty Gear, but this step was the one that was the most painful for me. I probably could have had a much easier time getting into the game had I just played Jam from the word go, but I can't lie to myself. I don't like her ear-piercing voice, I don't like her dumb ass, I just don't like Jam as a character and therefore, didn't really feel like playing her. I eventually found sanctuary in Chipp and while you could aruge that it's taught me to pay more attention to my mix-up game, but I can't help but wish that Jam's playstyle was on another character. It made me realize the appreciation I have for Ken Masters in particular. I may have not played a whole bunch of Street Fighter, but whenever I did, I'd usually gravitate towards Ken. Not just because he has the safe accessibility of a shoto clone with a more aggressive edge, but because he's everything Ryu is but cooler in my eyes. He has the same "honorable fighter" about him with the distinction of not being a complete stick of butter. His cockiness, the flare, he's the reason why if ever a fighting game has someone with the standard shoto moveset, he's the guy I tend to learn the game with. I just never took the time to imagine a world, where I only had the choice of playing Ryu. Much like with Jam in Guilty, it might have caused me to lose out on a potential playstyle to enjoy because I just can't gel with the character.

[@PetroklosZDM]

super ironic that Smash Ultimate calling Clones "Echoes" makes much more sense for current Fighting Games, as they echo the base character's design but aren't the same, yet all of its "Echo" characters are near or exact clones, woops.

it might sound dumb, but i really love "clone" characters using moveset from older versions that were scraped in newer versions of the base char stuff like gouken air tatsu going in a straight line (like ryu in sf2 champion edition), "kusanagi" having kyo 1995 moveset (+ some left over from kyo rejected design) or red arcueid with melty blood vanilla arcueid teleports. older GG used to have a EX version based on gg1 moveset, those are pretty nice too

[@slosh7072]

[@ScoutOW2]

The reason why Ryu's hurricane kick knocks down but Ken's doesnt is primarily cause Ken is more of a rushdown, so youd want to use it to get in close to follow up with another move. Ryu's kncokdown means he has time to dash back or setup the next attack for waking opponent (which if Ryu or Ken, has a invisible waking shoyuken so can be risky) Its funny how the smallest of changes can effect the complete playstyle of the character

Another interesting subject for the topic would be when similar characters are in a "spectrum" like ryu, evil ryu/kage and akuma

This was something I've been thinking about though spread over several games, like looking at grapplers and seeing how they vary from game to game and what changes they make to accommodate the system changes even though they're characters with the same philosophy behind their creation.

This reminds me of the "echo fighter" situation. For the first several smash games, characters that had similar movesets to others were often written off as clone characters and wasted slots. However, when they were given an official title in ultimate, suddenly everyone wanted more of them. It's amazing how a simple rebranding can change public perception so much.

[@Ali-fs7ze]

In old games (like Super Turbo) it was more than just time saving, it was also about the memory. Most sprites you see in old arcade games aren't even one sprite, they're a composite of multiple smaller sprites, and every single line of data is taking up precious space on your megabytes large memory. So if you can make a new character or move by taking already existing sprites in the game (like the shoto body) and changing one sprite (the one that makes up the head) you're basically hitting two pixies with one fireball.

[@ArmageddonD11]

5:30 jokes on you, i guessed 11!

[@bbobjs]

Good video. Particularly with in the context of Guilty Gear I think a big part of the reason the clone characters (Order Sol and Robo Ky) are so distinct from their original is because the game already contains an outlet for variant expressions of all the characters; although most EX versions aren't particularly well balanced it still provides means of cheaply doubling the cast for casuals, a space to dump unused assets (some of which were added to the base characters in later versions) and several interesting 'what if' concepts (what if Venom wasn't a charge character). I wish more games would include this feature, even if it's never balanced.

When you asked to put my finger on the scale, I placed it off the scale to the right as a joke, so I win. Edit: thanks for the heart. Also, _the concept of a move that plus terrifies me._ Edit 2: I'm referring to the 37 for the terrifying, tho the 11 also spooks me.

Another thing about clones is that they allow a player to try a different playstyle without having to learn a completely new moveset. Take Ryu and Ken, one's based more on zoning, the other on explosive offense. Yet because they basically share the same moves, it's easier for someone to move from one to the other, than say switching from Ryu to try Chun Li.

I often see you on my recommendation and I don't regret watching any of these,always had a good time listening,might as well give a follow right now that aside,I honestly think an analysis on the beauty of Boss Characters like Akuma,Nine The Phantom(Blazblue) ,Elizabeth (P4 Arena) or more characters like them that CANONICALLY are the strongest would make a good subject I'm charmed quite easily by Boss Characters,whatever their tiers are ,many others do and I'm sure an analysis from you would easily show us "all" the dephts of Boss Character Gameplay,what makes them so complex,so dumb,so risky or unplayable and how are they so scary at first sight That would give many other reasons to like them I have no clue if anyone has already done this,but in either way Different analysis and different points of views on them are all interresting and that's what makes fighting games analysis so good

Finally, I found a channel that talks about smash and other fighting games!

Another factor to be taken into account that's obvious but underappreciated is that a clone character can be identical and still feel differently just because it looks differently. Personal and vague example but in my head Kuma is a wild beast who attacks with no mercy while Panda is considerate creature who puts more forethought into her attacks, I'm well aware that they are equal but just their looks made me come up with a different head cannon that makes me play them differently. Just clothing or color change can do the same thing but having it as a separate character reinforces these difference in optics which can influence how a character is viewed without changing how the character works.

The FGC is one mixed bag, but at least we all like punching each other.

DBFZ has a hundred Gokus but they all play differently and that is amazing. A Base Goku main can look at UI mains and just call them apes. SSJ Goku mains wouldn't say much since those stopped existing since his 2M nerf. Gogeta and Vegito are Gokus and play entirely different from each othef despite both sharing similar J.2H moves and being both fusions. And then there's Bluku who tries to dabs on every other Goku because they got a 17 frame command grab and then UI is just the most gorilla variant of Goku there is despite being farther from it than GT Goku and then there's-
