>>738438078If you're OP, you should've chosen a different picture before making the thread.
It’s looks like every other mediocre licensed fighting game. How do people keep falling for these?
>>738437707man is invincible really so lacking in waifus that this is what they have to go with. that's really sad
>>738438134All of waifu characters either get blacked or cheat, or get fat, or get abortions, so yeah pretty slim options
>>738438134Waifus are not Robert Kirkman Creator of the Walking Dead 's primary motivation when writing a show. It's famous voice actors
>>738438201The main character's wife does all of those if you consider the blue alien black.
>>738438259>>738438134This, If you read his interviews the idea of collabing with Bruce Campbell in a voicebooth makes him hornier than any woman could
>>738437707>very easy to get into>it's Killer Instinct: The Tag Fighter (ft. Invincible)>online has been buttery smooth>like the character progression system for getting colors and titles, also incentivizes using more than your main team>movement gets cuhrazy fast once you get past the scrub ranks>some retards online clearly haven't done the tutorial, so you can land piss easy TODs since they never break combos>I like how it looks and while there's a lot of blood, it isn't gore porn like MK >There are some unique characters, but a lot of the cast is a bit too similar in how they fight imo>Character designs for the most part are very bland, not the fault of the devs, but still it applies>a lot of costume DLC already that's stupid expensive>story mode is really short, but I personally don't care about that>only offline thing I think the game is lacking is that it really should have some kind of character specific tutorials or at least combo trials that go into what certain moves can do with their movesetsI like it fine enough. Like a 8/10 right now, but it could easily go up to an 8.5 or 9 depending on the future updates.Don't know shit about Invincible, but Dupli-Kate is best girl for me so far.
>>738438121>>738438121desperate losers in their mid~late twenties trying to recapture the adrenaline rush of being good at vidya. they aren't. never will be. but in their heads "the next one will be my game."it never is.also niggers and browns that couldnt do sports
>>738438358She dates the Immortal because he's old and can keep up with multiple clones during sexthats about the most influential she's been in the comics
>>738437795supernovax
>>738438121Most licensed fighting games are anime arena brawlers that suck ass. Invincible VS is a proper fighting game that plays like killer Instinct (Same devs) but it's in a weird spot of being too sweaty for the casual Invicible fan who might be interested. A side scrolling beat-em up Turtles in Time might have been a better fit.
>>738438121most mediocre licensed fighters are shit like xenoverse and Naruto Ultimate whatever. They only exist to have a big set of cinematic supers ripped from the show and arent actually made to be played competitively. This game does even if it is a bit expensive
>>738437795https://imgur.com/gallery/RoS7nY6
post team(s)>>738438358>a lot of the cast is a bit too similar in how they fight imoThat's why I gravitated towards the characters that I've been using so far (except Battle Beast, I just think he's cool). Tried out guys like Allen, Mark, Nolan, etc. at first and I couldn't find a single thing that made them stand out from each other. It's like if SF made a game where 75% of the roster was different flavors of Ryu.The remaining 25% is cool, but online I just keep seeing the same characters that play the same.
>>738438358Dupli-whore worst girl in Invincible.
Why did they give the asian the biggest ass?
>>738437707Seems good. I don't want to say it's perfectly balanced and designed and all high level play will be excellent for 100 years, but it's about what I expected. It plays a bit like Marvel 3, to the point I would just do shit that would work in Marvel 3 and it worked here no problem. There's more of a focus on defense and mind games, a bit like Killer Instinct 2013 but it doesn't have a guy yell COMBO BREAKERRRRRRRR because someone dared to do two moves in sequence. It's basically what I want to see out of licensed fighting games.
>>738438719There's also what >>738438358 said about the looks.Like, I don't know shit about this franchise. But I love fighting games and am always ready to look at new ones. But when I see character designs like >>738438901, this doesn't look like a quality product to me. It looks like a fledgling C-tier City of Heroes-alike promo shot, and I say nah, that's bound to reflect the quality of the game.You gotta put in effort all-around or all you're getting is existant fans. And if you put those off too, you done fucked up in toto.
>>738438901I think its mainly got to do with the short dev time. It was announced within a year of its release and the studio Quarter Up wasn't even incorporated until a month after the games announcement. Devs arent keen on saying when development started, But it really could not have been more than 2 years, maybe even less. Worst case scenario they've been working on the game for longer in house but not as legitimate employees, just a collection of nameless contractors that Kirkman could pay for in pennies.
>>738439221The problem is that's literally how characters in Invincible look. A more realistic look wouldn't fit, and a highly stylized look wouldn't either because the art in the comic book is honestly mid for large swathes of its run. Even the designs, at face value, are largely forgettable and half the roster is barely relevant to the story at all.
>>738438901The Thing is in this game?
>>738438853>shit like xenoversefuck you. Xenoverse is great because it didn't focus on pure multiplayer PvP
>>738437961Mark "don't EVER fuck with my family" Grayson:>ayo where you been at pinkskin, your girl was getting freaky on my blue dong while you was gone! c'mon eve, you know he can't fuck you like i can!>l-let's go...>oh, mark, before you go, i introduced your wife to blue Tyrone while you were gone, also your infant daughter is a MONSTER>...one issue later:>Mark's sexy tomboy rapist shows up with no other motive than to "talk" about the fact that she's pregnant with his child>he walks in on Eve chimping out and threatening to kill herKirkman is so bad at writing male-female relationships, it's unreal. Male characters are forced to apologize and act subservient for things that usually aren't their fault, while female characters are allowed to act out (on their emotions) without ever being held accountable. It's so transparently trying to avoid allegations of sexism that it wraps around to being sexist.>>738438358How big of a deal is the whole blockstrings not actually being true thing? That's what turned me off of trying the game, the idea that you can sneak supers into BnB blockstrings by mashing.
>>738439639Actually that's The Thang.
Why did this franchise blow up so hard in general? What does it do that other capeshit franchises haven't done yet?
>>73843770720 hours so far.Disappointing. It is buggy, not even janky. You can tell it was a rush job.Ellamental 214L rock has no sound effect.Stage switch doesn't even have a sound effect, let alone a response from the characters.Combos are pathetic. LM2HjMjH EX EX EX Super Tag repeat, that is, if you don't get assist countered, which can only be beaten by armor.A bunch of unnecessary slow motion that always eats your inputs.You can be hit out of ONGOING throw animations. Depending on the assist, you can even CONVERT from being thrown. Assists with multiple super armor hits.The tag counter mindgame is, at best, superficial.4/10.
>>738439221The character designs are largely taken from the comic, which was apparently popular enough to get a TV show and now a video game. They are a bit bland, partly because some characters look like legally distinct Superman, legally distinct Green Lantern or whatever. I'd still prefer that a game based off a comic book look a lot like that comic book instead of making shit up.
>>738437849Yeah. I'm the nigga.
>>738437707HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY
>>738437795There has been some fanservice.
The number one reason people I see new people try out fightan are because of the characters. Mechanics and shit and whatever doesn't get people through the door. People thinking "wow that's a cool/sexy/cute character" doesWhich is why I'm surprised they made a FG out of the franchise with the most milquetoast roster ever. If you know nothing about the series everyone just looks like bootleg superman. It's like the same issue with mvci, plays great but looks like shit so it never got its footing
>>738439006Asian women have asses. Just not nigga-big.
Is the show good?
Garbage. I could pull better costume ideas out of my ass.
>>738439767It just came out in the surge of Evil Supermen and other deconstructions of superheroes, like The Boys. It was a big thing back in the 2000s when it came to capeshit. Although it wasn't known broadly in the mainstream. Not until their adaptations for streaming.
>>738440063It's okVery flawed but also fun
>>738440018Well true. But the roster is milquetoast because the characters in the show/comic are milquetoast, at least aesthetically, and this game is targeted at fans of the material. >everyone just looks like bootleg supermanYeah that's just literally what they are lmao. The show really lives on its story (which, say what you will about that) so it's weird to me the campaign or whatever is reportedly so short.
>>738440081I'm old enough to remember Watchmen, the original "look at me I'm decooonstructing capeshit" franchise getting a big budget hollywood adaptation that was like 3 hours long.
>>738439682>Kirkman is so bad at writing male-female relationships, it's unreal.I only watched season 1 of the show but Mark's girlfriend was such a noxious cunt, was she that bad in the comics?
>>738439006So you can have your face sandwiched between the asses of multiple clones
>>738437707a.g.p. thread
>>738440063No. But I like to watch it. The animation, artstyle, humor, dialogue, etc are all shit. But the overall story is interesting IMO. The VA is good too (they blew the bank on that and that alone), but the animation is so terrible the benefit is wasted. Unless you get your rocks off to recognizing a voice out loud to your overweight dog wife.
the homos dumping his collection again
>>738439816Addendums:Characters all play the same. All of them have three special moves. Using motion inputs is a disadvantage.50% of the cast has an 8-way airdash. This is not a good thing. They all have the same animation.All moves basically function the same.Netcode is unreliable.
>>738440319You sure it ain't the marketing team?
>>738440338thats what I said
>>738437707troonfaces
>>738440338Is there a difference?
>>738440390One gets paid.
>>738439767The first season was legitimately pretty good. Good opening hook, decent worldbuilding in the middle, and great finale. Every season afterwards has just been coasting on people remembering the first season with rose tinted glasses. At this point I think the series is being kept alive by dejected anime nerds who love discussing power levels.
>>738440414They are both faggots.
>>738440319
>>738440357>>738440434A paycheck makes a difference.
I've only watched videos of this game but the supers don't look impactful at all. Also this thing where supers are 30 second long cinematics instead of how SF2 or SF3 handled them are mega cancer from a pacing standpoint.
>>738440586>Also this thing where supers are 30 second long cinematicshave you not played a fighting game in the past decade? this is how they all are now because it's basic casual bait, flashy supers
>>738439767It's written by the same cuck that wrote TWD, so it has that same kind of "characters actually die sometimes" suspense along with a healthy dose of mystery baiting. Related, but also has the gore element. And idk how effective this actually is at growing viewership but the voice cast is full of mainstream actor-actors. For example JK Simmons plays Not-Superman #1, Walton Goggins plays Glowie Man. They're honestly great, but is anyone picking up the show for that? idk. Or Steven Chen playing the main character, I think the guy's good but he's not exactly an A-list actor. Then obviously, marketing. The memes kept it relevant during season 1 for a hot minute.
I feel like a major part of what makes western capeshit come off so cringe even compared to manga and anime is how afraid it is to be silly. Like the more you try to take yourself seriously all the time the more difficult it becomes to do so continuously. Dispatch was a step in the right direction but still nowhere near enough.
>>738440905Invincible is definitely not afraid to be silly
>>738440156It amuses me to no end that the author is salty at audiences liking Rorschach as a sympathetic flawed hero despite his intent of writing him as a rigid chud coded hypocrite. He really didn't anticipate how Rorschach's last stand would be interpreted by readers as heroic and redeeming.
Is this worth pirating just to play the singleplayer for a few hours?
>>738439639He's Mr. "Blocking is gay, I'm just going to armor through your shit.">How big of a deal is the whole blockstrings not actually being true thing?It's possible, but I've never seen anyone do it so far since you need to be able to react to a LM combo at you only have like a 1 frame window to mash out the level 3 (level 1s just end up trading from what I've seen). Also it's just LMH that isn't a true string for some characters, for the characters I use at least, stuff like MH is a true blockstring and then tag assists on top of that can make almost anything safe.>>738440323>Using motion inputs is a disadvantage.I haven't had an issue winning matches with motion controls. Been playing fighting games with motions for so long that trying to use modern controls in any of them fucks with my head.
>>738439682Whew, glad I never touched that garbageWhy's western comics so full of cuckoldry slop anyway
>>738441085second part was meant for >>738439682
>>738440905>is how afraid it is to be silly.Aren't comics known to be silly in their premises often? They just take it in earnest? I feel like when it comes to film adaptations they're more embarassed by the inherent siliness. So they try to make it more cool be it in terms of character designs applying that "tacticool" aesthetic that's everywhere in the MCU for instance. >Dispatch was a step in the right direction but still nowhere near enough.While it was far from innovative. It's strange how captivated I was by Dispatch overall.
>>738440905Invincible tries to be silly all the time. It's just fucking regular-cartoon-level humor in a cartoon aimed at ""adults"", and perpetually falls flat. I agree they could be sillier, but western audiences clearly can't handle Japan's smoke there. >guy eats alien snack everyone else finds disgusting>little girl tries one to show the audience how bored she is listening to some guy talk>Hey that's actually pretty good!>I know, right????>picture related
>>738441085I do like how the blood effects look. On an unrelated note, I have no idea why they added the jobber on the right to the game. He does literally nothing in the comics except kill his own wife and child in the most telegraphed way possible.
>>738440905Comics have a long tradition of sequestering themselves off by western genre classifications though. IE: if you want "comedy", your whole comic is gonna be like that, all the time, what it's all about. There's not going to be a plethora of comics that are "comedy but we can explore some drama here and there."Traditionally, most of the ones that are, are inspired by anime/manga or outright ripping them off wholesale anyway, like ninja high school.
>>738438885DON'T OP-
>>738439762fucking jej
>>738440785The issue with hollywood celebrity voice actors, besides them eating up a huge part of the budget, is that you can almost always tell that they are just phoning it in. They still see video games as silly little things for children and manchildren.
>>738441164that's fucking dire if you're saying japs have a better sense of humor
>>738440785>They're honestly great, but is anyone picking up the show for that?Honestly, Glowie Man is one of the only things that kept me watching the show. He's also better in the show than he is in the comics (I read them after).
>>738440905the problem with invincible is that it's bland. Everything outside of Mark and his immediate relationships are extremely underdeveloped, which makes the world and all the random characters feel fake. That wouldn't be a problem except that Invincible constantly flip flops between treating its side characters like Great Value versions of real superheroes and trying to take them seriously.
>>738437940Incontinentia Buttocks
>>738440785>Walton Goggins plays Glowie Man.Wait, really? I had no idea.
>>738440992Sometimes when lefty authors try to dunk on chuds by exaggerating or strawmanning an idea or a character they do so in such a manner that it loops back around to being cool or interesting once again, completely unintentionally.
>>738441221Yes. JK Simmons does a great job, and personally I like Walton Goggins in here but he's pretty one-note so I can see criticism, or the potential of him phoning it in. But for most of the other characters voiced by big actors, I don't even realize that it's a known face playing them. It's usually driveby-level quality so you don't even think to ID the voice. Jon Hamm taking a taco bell order just sounds like a dude taking your taco bell order.
>>738441181>He does literally nothing in the comics/showthat's most of the cast lol since Invincible is very focused on Mark and the people immediately around him.It's not like Marvel where every character has had at least a couple of runs that flesh out their character (before they get rebooted again).>>738441270This is why there are so many of those Invincible spinoff comics now. I think the cast could grow to become much better, but it's going to take years.
>>738441226I didn't say that. I said their animation gets sillier.But you've been taking the shitpost threads too seriously if you think what you said is wrong. Just an easy example: Takeshi's Castle vs Wipeout. If you're laughing more at Wipeout there's something wrong with you.Yeah, MXC but that was on fuckin Spike. We had to dub over it for US viewers to know it was funny. Granted MXC is kino.
>>738441408I think there was an interview or something when the first God of War reboot came out where Christopher Judge said that for live-action actors video games are typically something that you do once you are sort of washed up in 3D acting but still have enough residual star power to make people go "isn't he voiced by that guy from that show/movie, you know..."
>>738441728>pushing unsolicited gay shit>character voiced by Zachary Quinto in the futureShalom, nigga
>>738441484eh I don't think any character in the invincible comic is interesting enough to warrant a spinoff except for maybe Cecil, and he's dead. Other than the characters, the whole situation on Earth is just weird and power scaling is just nonsensical. Like the whole Doc Seismic situation where he fluctuates between being a joke and being an end-of-the-world level threat. The comic I think Invincible is closest to spiritually is Dragonball (Z) and even that does better on that front I think.
>>738441850Is it really gay shit when it's mainly yumes clammoring for it?
>>738441706MXC needed to happen because while takeshi's castle had some absolute gold in it, they had to edit down HOURS of footage for every episode to squeeze out 20 minutes of content, and some of that was just voice over improv
>>738441913>The comic I think Invincible is closest to spiritually is Dragonball (Z) and even that does better on that front I think.My main problem with DBZ (and just comics/manga in general, I don't really fuck with them for a reason) is that characters that aren't the MC usually aren't allowed to do anything cool in the main plot more than once or twice before the power level scaling of the villains turns the entire side cast into irrelevant jobbers. So while someone like Tien has a bigger moveset to pull from for a fighting game character, that's only from maybe 2-3 fights in the entire series and he spends the rest of the time being a complete non-factor.I don't think most of the Invincible characters are that interesting either, but spinoff material could make them more interesting. Give them something to sink their teeth into because they're not contributing shit to the threats that Invincible is dealing with.
>>738437707Shit game, thank God tag fighters are dying after Tokon.
>>738442026It was an improvement. But US's attempt at making an original "silly game show" continues to be an embarrassing imitation.
>>738441916Yes. (Period) End of discussion.
>>738439897Kys faggot
>>738439006I know nothing about Invincible. Do they ever make a joke about about her ability's sexual utility?
>>738437795>Any good animations yetnot yet, just like the ass animation of the cartoon itself
>>738442940Yes, at least twice.
>>738442923Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
>>738438201Truly peak America.
>>738441147Ironic capeshit works out really well until they get high on their own farts and start becoming what they parodied, either that or the irony goes into full loop. Dispatch is heading off that way with the promise of more chapters, when they could be doing another stories with their estabilished universe.Their story is over, now it's just becoming a matter of milking content like most capeshit does.
>>738439897>>738440107>>738440267>>738440450>>738441398>>738441252>>738441728Mazel-tov rabbi, fuck you
>>738443117I get the feeling that Season 2 is going to be really crappy. Like Season 1 was solid but it got fluffed up way too much for reasons not inherent to the game itself, like the waifu factor which western games haven't done in at least a decade and being 7 out of 10 when most western games are happy if they don't bomb critically and commercially immediately.
>>738438201Shrinking Rae hasn't done any of that.So far.
>>738443336Not that anon but I am wary of what season 2 will bring as well. Considering AdHoc is pretty much Telltale in all but name. I feel like they're going to repeat the same mistakes when it came to their following games. Choices not really mattering, railroading, poor writing. Even for Dispatch while I enjoyed it. It definitely had the same trappings Telltale games once did "x will remember that" and what have you. There's also the fact the director and the other devs don't really understand how it's such a success. So it might be a lightning in the bottle situation, a fluke. If worse comes to worse.
I saw character called Titan and he is literally niggerized The Thing
>>738443657I'm looking forward to the fanart, at the very least lol. Blazer best girl.
>>738438453die tranny faggot
>>738443767>I'm looking forward to the fanartNot to sound redundant but for season 2? Either way the fanbase has been at work all around. A lot of talent just brimming.
>>738443752The Thing is made of rocks, Titan just has rock armor that he can turn off, if they were the same you wouldn't be able to tell he was black.Titan is also a reluctant crook turned crime boss and not an astronaut turned superhero, the only thing he has in common with Thing as people is that they both love their families.
>>738443320
>>738439478>>738439831I don't know. If you're intent on "maximum true to comic look 1:1", then yeah, there's no helping it. But FFS, they couldn't spruce them up any at all?I'm not even talking adding belts and bells and whatever the fuck. I'm looking at how goddamn flat those designs are, and how all 6(even the Thing wannabe) have the fucking 1000-yard stare\ going on. Add some accentuation to the muscle definition. Flesh rocky's stone out more. That beast guy is the best looking one there, and even he seems to have no shading/highlighting at all.
>>738443431>so farShe's never doing that period loln her story is over and unless she pulls an Immortal and shows up after the Dinosaurus nuking to help rescue a few survivors she's not coming back to the story
>>738443336an 8/10 western story game is always much more enjoyable to me than a 10/10 classic jrpg because of the weird, stiff writing and the cultural barrier that can never really be bridged
>>738444338This is the most niggerslurping goylembabble I've heard in so few words.
>>738446751Was there something in the buzzword babble were meant to take away from that or...?
>>738441181Hes one of the only ones who killed a mark variant, and has a fairly unique power. Invincible doesn't really have a lot of interesting characters with unique abilities. Right now its kind of just the viltrumite show.
>>738442940In the comic, that's her entire personality
>>738445570I like japanese games exactly because they are different and weird. It's fun to explore different cultures like that.
>>738448747Now show me the women upskirts
>>738437707I want naruto shippuden style game where you can destroy cities instead of fighting like mortal kombat styleIt's pointless for Invincible verse
>>738448919You gotta pay extra for that.
>>738437707I watched Lirik play through the story and found it very fun and well paced.I am not playing fighting games anymore though unless somehow Soul Calibur gets a real sequel with all the best of old games and modern standards.
Button masher casuals' wet dream.
Invincible is dumbest character in this game. The best mobility and everything is safe.
>>738437707This better be futa
>>738437707it's kusoge with awful neutral, but i like it because its Tag KI which was always super smooth feeling and fun combos. just a shame it doesn't have all the features of that game like shadow AI. KI was kind of ahead of it's time i feel like it'd do better if it came out in today's bigger market compared to back then.i don't give a shit about the IP, i'd probably like the aesthetic and characters more if it was almost anything else, but they've grown on me quickly. battle beast's pose after an Ultimate is the best shit ever. >>738438901i'm usually on Anissa / Cecil / +1. i also like the big bodies/grapplers of Beast, Monster girl, Lucan, or Conquest.
