The Current State Of PHIGHTING! [ALPHA]

[@AphasonicTV]

Okay, I lowkey pulled 2 all nighters trying to finish this video before all of this became outdated but here are so more things I have to say: Although I think the things I've presented are PRIORITIES for the game, please do NOT pester the developers to add it. Let them take their time, to what they need or want to do. Secondly, this video was in the works for months now, because as the more I've played the game, the more I realized how much untapped potential it has left. And lastly, give me some feedback in the comment section!

[@toast207]

Man, going from a week 1 player to dropping it like a few weeks after (I liked it but on release I thought it was a bit rough, and I don’t play roblox much) to playing it again in recent months, man I like this game and I’m glad it got the attention. I absolutely LOVE Ban hammer and he became my new main after only really playing sword and subspace back when it released.

[@toast207]

Also looking at them now, what did they do to boombox and rocket??? They are pretty bad now.

[@mercenarypark]

im a mobile player, and I have to agree with everything you said. While pings and stickers are a nice feature to have, they're really finnicky, and it autoforces you to "here" ping anytime you touch the screen anywhere remotely close to the middle, which as a level 180 scythe main with over 60 mvps, you do A LOT. especially with phighters like katana or banhammer where youre flicking a lot. I'd say a decent amount of the quality of life stuff for mobile alone has been kind of a sham when it's been added, and it takes them like a few weeks to fix even the simplest things. Im glad the direction is going somewhere positive, but I kid you not when sometimes I play katana games and I check chat after the match and it's just me pinging "here" over and over again. It's not that big of a deal, but it's still annoying it feels like the devs r only trying to temporarily fix a lot of things, ik they have other priorities and things outside of just. phighting but it doesn't take that much time to correct a small error, like, this could all be fixed with a simple setting turning off the here ping with just a button press. I've been playing this game since violets vs roses and honestly ive seen very little improvement with how they handle this kinda stuff. I just wish they would test what they release a bit more before it goes out. Despite all the challenges mobile itself presents, I'm still among like a decent amount of good players, im in the middle of writing a guide, half my friends who're in crc have said my skills are genuinely impressive, and the like. It took me so much time to get to the point that I'm at. new players who're probably just playing on their iphone and join and get confused and leave are the biggest chunk of the playerbase the game is missing out on. I was lucky enough to persist when I first joined, my first ever main was subspace and this was back when the m1 button was a tiny gray circle LOL I have just learned yesterday you reload by clicking the ammo counter. I should not be learning these things this late into my time with the game. They shut off players from necessary to know features that they would otherwise have complete knowledge to, but instead they have to resort to 3rd party services like crc or the miraheze. it's not that hard to just tell mobile players in the tutorial they can do (insert feature) and whatnot. its small little changes that take menial amounts of time to fix. I really appreciate you, a creator who the devs definitely have heard of, addressing and bringing a lot of flawed things about the game to light. I really hope other creators and higher level players hop on the bandwagon aswell so the game can begin to change for the better

[@squishcat7344]

Honestly fire takes all around. I'd love seeing all of the untapped potential that you mentioned come true tbh; been only playing since Decoy Deploy Phrenzy, but I've been hooked and Crossroads Central for sure needs more representation and shoutouts in the community ;)

[@AphasonicTV]

Regarding the crate portion of the video: I need to clarify: Bux will NOT be buyable. (bux is meant to be spent on side-things) There is a pity system (You can't roll dupes, but rolling a dupe perm increases the chances of special traits on the sticker, until you get an unusual ofc) I didn't have time to mention it in the video, but this is more of a small addition than a main attraction. Bux as a currency feels very useless as of now. Getting a rare sticker early on and selling it could help you manage and found a clan or smth. Trading toxicity only gets extreme when it affects gameplay... but these are silly stickers... so... Feel free to disagree, but I keep getting the same comments, that say the same thing and I don't wanna go reply to everyone lol

[@Pobeehpo]

12:55 oh boy hotel elephant… I HEAVILY disagree with the rework being better, I really liked the old maps aesthetic and I did think that it definitely needed a lot of obstacles and props removed but not to this extent, the interior of the map is fine but right when you get outside that’s when my hate for this rework comes in. First off, there is almost NO PROTECTION in the middle except for the little things you can go under on the sides, heck it looks like it was just never finished! also, the roof tops on across of the hotel elephant building on the other side of the map just work like conveyors WITH NO INDICATIONS THAT THEY ARE CONVEYORS, that push you into the moving crates that INSTANTLY KILL YOU, if you’re hyperlaser trying to find a sniping spot or a class looking for cover you’ll just get pushed into a moving crate and DIE! also in my opinion the outside of the map just looks genuinely worse, I miss alot of the detail and props, I think if I were to make a rework for hotel elephant I would just remove most the annoying parts like the really thin wood planks in the pool or the metal poles keeping the wooden planks going to the conveyor up ect ect, but this rework just removes EVERYTHING! they absolutely butchered this map in my opinion, also this might be a me thing but the map just feels too big in a way, like when you get on the middle conveyor it’s just so wide and there’s no cover either making you extremely vulnerable as certain classes. In short the map is way to empty and has poor design in certain spots, and in my opinion way less fun. Definitely a way worse version of the original to me.

I don't think it's THAT bad, but honestly I respect it

I honestly wanna clear some things here: 1. I've just started playing the game, only for a day and lemme say it is a great game! The only actual ISSUES i have with the game is that my computer isn't that powerful so whenever someone or the game just starts putting some cool ass stuff my computer starts lagging and i can't play the game properly causing me to die easily. 2. My first time playing the game i chose Rocket, and i feel like i may main him, he's pretty comfortable to play atleast for me. (considering i have played Arsenal before.) 3. Im gonna be honest, i don't feel like the community is that bad! YET, because on my first gameplay i just said "yea im lvl 3" and the people in the server just started complimenting me OUT OF NOWHERE saying stuff like: "WHAT, YOU'RE NOT LEVEL 3 LIL BRO" "nahhhh you're too good at the game" "bro is pro and disguising as noob 💀", which..golly, this community is pretty darn supporting to newbies! Finally, 4. If im being honest, I'm not that experienced yet to say i have any complains, since im not the type of person to get mad at multiplayer games, but i might start playing more often! Honestly, i'd give Phighting! a 8/10, it could use some more tweaking.

While this might be a bit farther away from possibility, I think I would like to see some form of a campaign mode for the game, whether it’s one overarching story or smaller personalized stories for each character. Not only would this be able to give newer players something else to help them learn the characters (aside from the selection screen and youtube tutorials), but it could also give some more insight onto character lore and could also help more with the story overall. The only problems I could really see from this (aside from the need to create a whole bunch of new things such as varying NPC enemies), is that it would be harder to connect things together in an overarching story and it would be difficult to make personalized campaigns for some of the characters (such as the supports for example). Regardless, I feel like this could be really good for the game as it would give new players a way to learn a character through more means with interactions and could give more content to older players through PvE and more lore for those interested.

[@Devilspade]

YOOOO this video is so good? love your editing and you have great commentary

[@peavuh]

ok so i generally agree with the points in this video except for two which are ranked matchmaking and the crate system so first ranked would in my opinion not fit very well due to phighting being a very casual game, and also due to balancing issues thus leading to a meta and possible toxicity if one does not follow said meta (for example if you pick skate instead of bio) and overall your progress being dependant on your team means many people would start to act toxic due to them losing elo becase of bad luck then theres the crate system which imo could be better without trading because depending on the pity system some stickers could be much harder to get than others and thus if you get one and people see it they will start begging for it which is very annoying and another note is that i enjoyed the badges giving you stickers (feels like you had to work for em) something something i aint readin allat /j

I started playing this game in August this yr and I've been seeing boombox as alright. I kinda just adapt to things after playing for a while. I decided to main boombox and the only reason why I didnt think he needed a buff was because people said he's balanced. Your video mad me to wake up to reality and realize how bad boombox actually is. I hate missing a phinisher by a few pixels even tho it looks like it clearly hit my teammate. I didn't even know he had 20% boost instead of 15%, I thought it was always like that. I feel like they should also buff m2 by increasing the max dmg from 15 to 20 cuz the max charge m1 already does 14. They should also make the shield given to him 10 per charge instead of 5

[@toffeecoffeeeYT]

I'm a new skate main and I mostly agree with everything you said about him in this video but also. funny trick noise go bllbllui and trigger silly dopamine I don't care that he's harder to learn or more complicated than other phighters, I have fun playing him and I'm sticking with him no matter what (plus I think my years and years of playing hard platformers translates surprisingly well into doing tricks and stuff as skate) legitimately only said any of this because I saw skateboard. I see skate mentioned, I comment. I'm so normal.

Honestly instead of gambling i would rather have it a shop that you can select your favorites. Commons to legendary might work with bux increasing for higher rarity.. it refreshes every 1 hour so thst it becomes new.

awesome video for an awesome video game jokes aside really great video!! Tho i do have some problems with your suggestions, such as the Strike System. Disconnecting exists and getting a strike and losing elo for something you're not even in control of kinda sucks yk. I don't have a solution either so i can't reallyyy be talkin Another thing is the Economy concept. I'm not that fond of adding something like a crate system since I don't want a chance to get the kill effect I want. I think purchasing titles, kill effects and stickers as just purchasable cosmetics would work better. Tho the trading system makes sense considering event stuff. Actually there's no other problems so I'll just give a suggestion. As a mobile player, I accidentally use my ult when im actually just tryna E or walk. So adding a Customisable Layout would be great! Well that's all, great suggestions and great video!!

[@AphasonicTV]

and abt the strike system, read the text on screen for more context, please

[@bound_5p]

Im not much for watching critique videos for stuff im fixated on but I made it here and would like to throw my 2 cents alongside stuff i've heard my friends complain about. 1. The party system ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. Anytime me and my friends, usually a group of 2-4 try to get into a game together it's almost impossible and we end up going in different servers or not playing at all. A bandaid solution I'd say is just make it so you can create new servers and not only have the chance for such. Most servers tend to fill up fast but being able to simply create your own to quickly get your friends into it may work at least for the time being, though maybe cause smaller server sizes from everybody doing it. 2. Im roughly level 100 after a year of playing, I don't play often, come on for phestivals mainly, or whenever I feel confident enough to play with others. I am absolutely garbage at the game. Hyperlaser, medkit, and subspace main. Maybe that explains it but even as an actual damage dealer of any kind I'm just horribly bad. I don't play fighting games often, not my style. I am more the equivalent of a level 20-25 give or take, and yes. Pro players joining servers to wipe out whole servers is hell and discourages me from playing. Pro servers never help, one of my friends got to play them when they were actually popular and it just was not fun for him, and clearly not for you either. This may not help me due to my level but a ranking system to fit players together based on level and change the mechanics of the game as you improve would enrich the experience and keep you playing, the gameplay loop would gain more than just the current one we have right now. 3. Updates. The phestivals always seem to be rushed and unpolished, alongside any sort of event they push out. Phestivals feel the same and for the most recent one, I didn't even bother playing for a long while and just ranked up juussttt enough to be legible for the skin (gg pirates i'm sorry I couldn't help more). I learned during one of the phestivals that.. yeah. you don't phight the other team, it's the same thing, fighting your own team and the opposing team. It may be more work to code it in to make sure the teams in servers are fair but it's still a surprise that it hasn't been done by now after so many phestivals. 4. Personal thing, but i wish previous gamemodes came back or got reworked to be a different server you can join even outside of the event. The mismatch one imo was super fun, being given a random phighter alongside other people that swapped when you died. Got to try out new phighters with other people so I didn't feel completely stupid when I kept being given slingshot a character i very much cannot use for the life of me. Decoy deploy is debatable, most of the matches are just one team gets bullied and dies a bunch, or nobody dies for 5 minutes until overtime hits. not.. fun. I was usually on the constantly dying end. 5. One thing a friend complains about is just the lack of actual updates. we hear about character reworks, dialogue changes, the crossroads update, the shop, so much stuff that we arent getting until crossroads is done which could be a few months to a few years. The gameplay loop is repetitive with no real goal to work for besides getting skins but theyre so expensive that I gave up after getting my favourites. There just is no goal. You had an idea in the video that could work but if it were to be added it would end up coming out with crossroads. Sure, the game will go into beta and will most likely feel like a whole new game, but if it really worth it if a bunch of stuff is done as QOL or to help the gameplay is coming out in a few years? Sure the game has blown up in popularity for the last few years but that can only last so long. Bit long, awesome video though, glad I stopped by to watch it. (your skateboard gameplay is terrifying)

[@LocalNormalAccount]

I honestly love the party system and overall low level and higher level gameplay suggestions. It would make it much more worthwhile and one thing I will say: I dislike playing pro servers because we don't get the fun chaos of sword events. So the casual mode would be a blessing. One thing I do half-disagree with was the point on phestivals and teams going directly against each other. The issue is that there aren't enough players for that to happen smoothly and if one team is more popular..... the issues become clearer when there's only a handful of one team against what feels like thousands of people on the other. Phrenzies I do hope they improve on outside of being a grindfest and make it both skill-based but rewarding if you, even if not skilled, can work hard towards and be rewarded for. For how short phrenzies are, I hope they don't make it as painful, and the recent one feels like it'll be focused on teamwork against npcs rather than "get as many kills as you can and disregard your team".

[@LocalNormalAccount]

Adding onto this i hope they make team rewards more beneficial especially for support classes not made for killing (I have some vine staff one trick bias here but literally you cannot level up easily with her, she contributes to nothing but win rate in phestivals, and god forbid you play her in a phrenzy that says kills give more points. Add a healing category or team win points for phrenzies)

[@AphasonicTV]

Regarding the Phestival rework: Itwould balance out bc the more popular team would have more average players on them. It’s off winrate, popularity doesn’t affect stats anymore.

[@adams0123]

9:08 I would say their rewarding enough. Getting an edge hit on a target gives you: 5% pinisher charge, bullets and 12 damage + extra damage based on their health. That combined with how you can just spam them if you have good positioning is already really good and doesn't need that much of a buff.

[@oro8656]

personally i really do not like the idea of loot crates & trading, especially together, seeing how trading impacted other roblox games; whether it be creatures of sonaria, adopt me, etc etc. if we use those games as an example, since they both have loot crates & trading, it may cause people to trade more than playing the game (also its annoying whilst playing a game and using one of the things you bought, then someone begging for it) I propose instead, no trading system, buying the things yourself with bux in zukas shop (as probably intended by the devs) With variants of stickers, the original sticker will have to be bought first before you can buy an "upgrade" which will have either different colors, effects, voicelines, yada yada what you said in the video. Then again, I am biased against loot crates & trading lol I very much like the queue idea and the clan idea, it's fun to be in sub-communities, and its a good way to meet people also.

[@AphasonicTV]

Bux won't be buyable, so you'll have to grind to obtain things. (I forgot to mention the pity system, you wouldn't rolls the same sticker twice). I understand the concern but I think trading wouldn't hurt the game, because it's a side-thing, but the things you can obtain, should be SIDE things. People who are focused on trading can't progress without playing the game since bux WON'T be buyable.

[@Cocoagraft_33]

For Biograft balancing, while I don't think it's perfect, it's better than it was previously. He doesn't run through everyone including the usual targets when the playing field is more even (eg. scrims) because he can be hit by stuff even if it's hard. If for example a good Medkit is getting rushed by a good Biograft, it's likely the Biograft wins. However, if the Medkit lands a few good shots and an E or two, they could potentially scare off or even kill the Biograft. The main reason Biograft is seen as super unbalanced and overpowered is his ability to completely roll people with a lower skill level. While yes, that's not a good thing, it's just because of how the class is made. If the playing field is more even, Biograft can be beaten with characters slightly or majorly disadvantaged to him. By the way, the Biograft MVPs you showed were 90% likely to be an open server where a pro is just rolling randoms.

[@Mr.Candybar]

Three words skill, base matchmaking

[@celestialwaffle1491]

I'm sorry, I think you are cool, but everything you said would "fix the game" in the gameplay loop section made me really upset. TLDR, all the changes you mentioned benefit only people who play all the time, ignoring the casual and mid-level audience. Clan systems are always toxic in games, even without rewards or monetization. You are pretty much forced to join one because "why would you not" and when you do, there's a toxic culture of play or be kicked. Mobile games don't use these because it's a good system, they use it to encourage people no-lifeing a game. If you want a team name, keep it to the discord and others who are in the community enough to care. Any economy system is a bad idea. Skins are cool right now because you work really hard to get one specific skin you are happy about, and everything else is goal-oriented, which is a great departure from the lame typical way to unlock stuff, which is crates. Gambling is never fun, if you want something you should be able to just earn it. Also, adding recolors and rarities encourages mindless grinding for a "rare" which sucks. There's no reason for stickers like that to exist other than flexing, which is really really stupid, especially when your 0.1% rare stucker has no practical application in a game just because the art represents something dumb. Trading only makes this worse, as now people are going to argue about rarity and try to scam people for dumb stickers. Also kill effects wouldn't work due to already existing kill effects for phinishers and stuff? Plus kill effects would make an already chaotic game even harder to read, along with taking away a lot of creative choices the devs can make with the visuals. I think a ranked mode would be great, but forcing people to play hours and hours of the lame casual mode before getting to ranked obviously wouldn't work, and isn't fun. Plus, adding 2 separate ranked queues is redundant and basically useless. Elo was literally invented to separate the level 1000s from the new players, so we don't need any extra fixes. Also locking out character swaps may or may not make this game more overly tryhard, and have people complaining a lot about players picking bad comps, but that would need testing, I suppose. There are good points you made, like fixing the friend system, map design, and balancing. But man, all the changes you mentioned here were either just scummy mobile game tactics you think might be cool, or just personally benefit you and the small minority of players on your skill level. Phighing is perfect for the current Roblox audience, easy to pick up and play, not lame monitization or time wasing measures, and good gameplay that isn't affected by grinding too hard (aside from skill, but I agree we need some sort of pro queue). I think you should be more careful about making points like this in the future, as to not laser focus on only things you would like. Changes like these would affect everyone, and a lot of times it's for the worse. I respect you a lot, and think you are good at making videos, but maybe put a bit more time into research for ideas like these in the future. I can elaborate on anything in the replies if you want, I bet a few things were unclear.

[@MewmiNyan]

another thing about open servers for some reason if there's more than one sweaty player they always get put on the same team as the other sweaty player. when the community was still small-ish like a year ago i had a lot more fun playing bc ngl i think most ppl who played at that point have been consistently playing already but since phighting has become more popular whenever i play it's just a stomp fest and i'm not even that good but yeah it's not fun for both sides. unless u like torturing noobies for some reason.

[@sippycupslid5170]

Entry 3 & 4 explained my frustrations w the game, Imagine yourself as an honor student that is around school 9+ hours + more hours on schoolworks Mon-Sat. Then after waiting and wanting to play the game, you do so with your friends on Sunday only to leave out of frustration because of a biograft main. This happend to me weeks ago but I could not leave that scenario out in my head when I play phighting now. Everytime i join an open especially if im with friends i just pray that theres no pro player that instantly manipulates on which team wins and whos the mvp. The fun of playing this game ofc is the thrill, you may not know whos gonna win during a close match and the round gets more chaotic and chaotic, its ecstatically thrilling. Why do pro players even had to go scrimming anyway right? So if one is on open servers, that charm immediately shatters. If you try to halt the pro player its hopeless.. I love phighting specifically for the thrills however thats my biggest issue with the game rn. I hope the devs could focus of its skill based matchmaking and attempt to fix it even just a small bandaid.

i genuinely feel like Skateboard as a concept is just impossible to get in a state everyone likes without a radical (haha) rework, because skate is so hard to play mechanically and when a skateboard is good he’s SO, SO OBNOXIOUS to try to deal with in a sense that even if he was “balanced” noone in this exchange would have fun (the skateboard is sweating their ass off, the victim can’t do anything) skateboard’s skill… Sheer cliff is ridiculous so noone is ever gonna agree on how good he is oh my god i’ve been so upset about scythe crits for ages, for THE LONGEST TIME the way scythe crits worked it WOULDN’T EVEN DEAL MORE DAMAGE if the enemy was low enough which SUUUCKED to play i agree to lower standard damage and buff crits Lol boombox yeah he sucks both in balance and to play i hope they get rid of his metronome gimmick it’s a cool concept but it feels terrible to play my philosophy on the open server issue is just server hop if i’m not having fun? if there’s a level 900 aphelion biograft pubstomping i just find a different server my only issue with the open-casual-ranked idea you have is that i feel like phighting doesn’t consistently get enough players to sustain that (but maybe this would start fixing that! i dunno. i’m also a person who never plays phighting outside of events haha) i kinda disagree with tradable rare/special cosmetic effects, even if they’re cosmetics it’s gonna attract a really annoying side to the game’s community (since you mentioned it as an example before, see Dungeon Quest donguses who dont actually play the game and are only there to partake in the economy they’ve accidentally created, where theyve somehow simulated the consolidation of wealth in capitalism in roblox) but whi knows how itd turn out in this specific style Mix-Up Madness had an abysmal system but Decoy Deploy was a bit better, though I will say the feel of Decoy Deploy mightve been improved by the fact that the bottom 50% of the ranks were completely filled out by people who played one game and never again (i think hard setting the threshold midway through was really good)

FINALLY SOMEONE IS PHITHING

[@Cocoagraft_33]

Since my previous comment on this disappeared, let me reiterate : Biograft isn’t hugely unbalanced. Honestly, he's actually quite balanced. There are 2 big issues that make him seem extremely overpowered. For one, especially in opens, he usually dominates because Biograft specializes in exploiting skill gaps. He can manuever around characters requiring aim, and he can deal quick burst damage to unaware players. This means that to newer players, Biograft seems like an unstoppable force because they don't have the skills to fight him. For another, mostly everyone, including people in pro servers, don't stick together, which is the #1 Top Biograft counter. By doing this simple maneuver, someone in your group is bound to hit a rushing Biograft, or multiple of you. This completely stops Biograft in their tracks, and is likely to slow them enough to be killed. Basically, what I'm saying is that Biograft is good at exploiting bad coordination and skill gaps, which plague basically everywhere but scrims, which puts on a look of being overpowered, even if he isn't.

[@hannahelliott1551]

As a newish players (I started literally the minute they added privates v mermaids.) I chose to main SlingShot, so aiming is not only a struggle..but if I go in an open, I get absolutely destroyed by pro slings or other pros. I’m not sure if I’m learning but I’m pushing forward, I do hope they add better severs it really hard to get past 7th on the mvp list thing… (oh yeah, and I got harassed by a bh for being new.)

The whole point of Phrenzies is to be individual. Yes, there are teams still in the game, but it's intended as a test of skill. Also, they did have a grindable requirement, although they didn't specify it because they didn't plan on it originally. Also there has been a Phrenzy queue? It's an entirely different set of servers.

[@wateryboi7476]

This might be because i'm a Shuri main, but calling Banhammer "Fine" is wild💀 When your counterplay is literally "Don't even fuck with him" it is gut wrenching when you see a Banhammer fly at you at mach speed. Being serious though, I generally agree with your arguments about balancing (especially bio Jesus Christ Subspace put that thing on a leash), I find myself honestly ignoring Skate whenever he's onboard; either because my aim sucks or because there just not that much of a threat (Oh how quickly I will get humbled/raptured by a pro skate main for saying that). Everything in the "Gameplay Loop" section: YES. I want to say I've been playing this game for a few months now and I will still get completely destroyed by players who have been playing this game for 1+ year. It definitely sucks but unless the devs do something to fix that you just kind of need to thug it out. A handsome video all around 👍

[@Cocoagraft_33]

I respectfully disagree about the Biograft balancing opinion. Tis a matter of skill and grouping up with your nonexistent team, because I ate them.

[@PickIeJuice]

Apha what do you think about heal tether? I feel it’s just really useful for the little effort to maintain it, just put it on a tank and forget, but I don’t know what I would do about changing it since everything else about coil is greay

[@AphasonicTV]

healing is kinda weird bc it's a tether that's only really effective when you're the only healer. it's kinda weird.

Phighter mastery is confirmed getting added tho dunno when

[@SuraNoGrass]

i personally think that a lot of points are a bit.. extra Though not wrong, in my personal opinion a majority of the points can be put onto the fact that PHIGHTING IS IN IT’S ALPHA FORM!!!!!!!! Yeah, this game isn’t finished, which will show in the game’s quality. The balancing bit also feels a bit off, the only reason biograft is strong is because people just don’t learn to pay attention to it. It’s just a class that’s good at punishing rather than just a class that’s OP. But that’s a bit too specific of a point isn’t it? Regardless, a lot of the points you’re making are things that are planned regardless, and mentioning these with implications of reform is to say the least, pointless! These changes are coming ANYWAY. One thing i do wish to add something though, and even tho i don’t think you’ll recognise the name: Do not become the LuckyHD of Phighting. Don’t put too much of these negative opinions into your videos cuz that’s just a recipe for people to dislike you and i’d hate for you to go down that path. It’s unhealthy for both you AND the developers (but like i don’t think you’d do that, anyway, so don’t worry!) In case there’s any questions on my opinion go ahead and ask, just felt like sharing this fr

[@AphasonicTV]

Just saying "the game is an alpha" doesn't give any constructive feedback. that's the whole point of this video existing. These things HAVE to be said to be acknowledged. I'm rating an ALPHA product, sure, but I can't just silently wait for the devs to the read the community's mind

[@AphasonicTV]

Yeah, i know who luckyhd is, but Idrc what happens to my rep, what needs to be said WILL be said.

[@SuraNoGrass]

@ the main point of me saying that was mainly because as said, a majority of the things mentioned are already planned. They’re going to come anyways

[@amazingcris3390]

The ranked idea is something really needed and would fix lots, but why level 200? If it’s ranked you won’t fight people crazy better than you, and I find it hard to believe that you’d be able to find matches consistently if it takes so long to unlock. It should be level 100 or maybe less and casual should be 50 or 75.

[@sneakysquid6195]

i feel like medkit still needs a LITTLE bit of fine tuning? just in the sense that literally every other support would probably help your team more than anything, vinestaff is just a better version of medkit?? dont get me wrong medkit can be really good, especially with the headshots giving self heal (even though i feel like theyre kinda random sometimes, not really sure how the hitboxes work though" medkit was really good on release but now he's just kinda eh? like yeah you play him and hes fun but youre not gonna do as good as vinestaff and coil can passively heal while helping your team as a melee hes a lot more beginner friendly but the main point is always gonna be "why play medkit over vinestaff or literally any other class lmao" also feels like vinestaff has more dps than medkit if you dont account for headshots then again this is just my opinion and im like level 100~ medkit main so there is a little bias (and maybe i was just mad that you didnt say anything about medkit) HOLY SHIT THOUGH BOOMBOX IS SO BAD WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO HIM SKATE GOT HIS LEGS CHOPPED OFF AND BOOMBOX GOT ARMS AND LEGS HACKED OFF genuinely amazing game even with the balancing and such and as its still in alpha its absolutely astonishing how much is ALREADY in the game and im so glad to see actually good roblox games fighting off the stigma of roblox just being terrible or mediocre at best games, and the community around it is amazing, people are just so nice out of nowhere and its such a refreshing experience from most pvp games in general being filled to the brim with toxicity, even pro players chill asf also about the QOL, its genuinely ridiculous i dont know how they glossed over this it straight up makes them lose players which im sure isnt their main goal but like if you have people who like the game, NOT PLAYING IT because of the fucking way the servers work then you have an issue the random joins are really good though, it almost always puts me in servers i should be in which is really nice and definitely better than most games. id really like a party system where if you have like, 4-5ish people it just makes a new server? and then other people can join that server public? not sure tho

[@charlejest]

I disagree in terms of Onboard Q being his most worthless move, have you tried E Nuke? Please, I do indulge you to try the tech he has available, frogboosting, e nuking, etc.

[@charlejest]

Nonetheless I feel like Skate requires a few tweaks and he'd be fine, the newest combo that uses his ENTIRE kit deals 110+ dmg which is crazy.

[@AphasonicTV]

I e nuke all the time. But if you need a q boost stop before you dismount then firstly you can get easily punished when you stop and secondly flow combos are just 10x better imo.

[@AphasonicTV]

I know that combo, but landing it in comp is not worth the risk.

[@ihateminorities]

Phighting is Roblox’s easiest current fps/fighting game. Regardless of the class, no character in the entire game, and based off the low damage 5v5 system of the game with predominantly easy to perform attacks and movement permanently closes the skill ceiling for independent skill. Even characters like skateboard or hyperlaser have relatively easy inputs and requirements that can be easily preformed by any player of another game that takes more skill. Phighting has a low player count for this reason among others, but know games like TSB or Deepwoken with extremely high performance requirements for “good” players succeed better than Phighting for better skill ceilings and more impressive feats of skill.
