Riot Games just announced that they're going to shut down 2xko by the end of this year.https://x.com/riotgames/status/2090514198162022898
it's a real shame
Didn't it just release?
more like WHO-XKO
marathon when
>>745760229When did this release wtf
The game itself is pretty mid, but I still think it could have done better if they didn't give it the world dumbest name and also launched it on steam.
>>745760229Valorant and LOL next?please shut LOL down
>>745760229More like 2 Months to EOS :D
>>745760229A surprise to absolutely nobody..There will be YouTube documentaries going into detail about how this game has always been a directionless mess and how poorly it was managed.
>>745760229lol
If only they had put in more Arcane characters
>>745760365>>745760540Released in January after like a decade of "development". Final content patch 10 months later is pretty rough but the game was pretty inevitably just going to be a money pit at this point. I'd hope that the people who do like it will still play it since it'll still be available, but modern games in general need the content treadmill to keep people interested, fighting games are one of the prime examples at this point
KWAB
>>745760296fpbp, no one can compete lelelel
>>745760229Didn't they just have an EVO Finals?>>745760374GOTEM.
post yfw riot goes bankrupt
Turns out that simply reskinning Rising Thunder won't magically make the game any good. Who could've known?
>>745760229>all that dev labor down the drainI don't give a flying fuck about metrics, just make the game FOSS
>>745760229It's not EoS if servers are still online and the game is playable.
>Riot fans bragged for years about how Project L would change the fighting game genre paradigm forever and bury Street Tekken Gear XV foreverGood good times
>>745760229i thought it was a joke fucking KWAB
>>745760229I remember saying this game has no audience in threads about it when it was still in development, i must be Nostradamus.
>>745760775they would have done well if they actually released rising thunder instead of a shitty tag fighter
That's what you deserve for don't include Annie and Karthus in the roster and for being a tagslopHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>745760797>the Street Fighter killerLmao not even SNK managed to do that
>>745760229S
>>745760828it would've had an audience if it released good chars or had good gameplay
>>745760229wtf is a 2XKO
>>745760229Was this a bigger failure than Concord? Think about it: unlike Concord, they had a big IP attached to it, Riot had to buy the Rising Thunder studio, spend 10 years in development, advertised it on all the big gaming shows, had an e-sports circuit, etc. It must have costed a shit ton and was way harder to screw up, yet they screwed up anyway.
>>745760839Fair. As mid as that game was, at least it wasn't tag shit.
>>745760229KWAB
Are they the biggest frauds in fighting game history?
>>745760229>appeal to arcane fans with shit designs>forgot that arcane fans only care about ships what did they expect?
>>745760887The chemical formula for water
The game is in a finished state like every other fighting game in their final season. Servers will remain active.
It was a bad game and ongoing development costs just to keep it somewhat popular would be astronomical.
>>745760887it's supposed to be double KO apparently, yeah it's dumb and they should have gone with a different name like league fighters
>>745760229DSP outlasted the Cannon bros?!
>only lived for a single yearWhat an insane fuckup.
Boring roster
So what killed it? Lack of profitability? Riot learning the hard way that fighting games are not main stream? It being a live service game? Changes nobody asked for driving players away? Genuinely wondering what caused it to die out so fast.
>>745760229>always online GAAS fighter Good riddance. Don't try that again.
>>745760524They're pivoting to making not!Deadlock.
>>745760229I suppose the fact that I have no idea what 2xko is would be a good indicator of why they're closing it down - whatever it is.
>>745761060they deserve the game dying for that dogshit Akali redesign alone
>>745760928what race is this?
>>745760926it was poised to actually do well if it came out 10 years ago as baby's first fighter that is more than just a joke like divekick.
>>745760928no, but they are scammersThe game they were working on prior, Stone Hearth, was a kickstarted game that they released as "1.0" abandonware
>cannon bros convince tencent / riot to pay them for ten years to piss about making a video game>they finally force the game out and then it dies within a yearBased
>take my ninja wife and turn her into zoomer looking garbageYOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE
>>745761060>four marskmenWhy
>>745760229>make tagslop instead of 1v1 like originally planned>hire friends and pay them 6 digits because muh california>spend 10 years in developmentCannon bros are fucking scammers
TENYEARSOFDEVELOPMENTFOR THIS
>>745761060They gave Akali a side shave. I hope they get bed bugs.
>>745760229White man tries to make a game better than the Japanese and failing, classic bit of game development.Here comes the part where we laugh.Ready?
>>745760928no, it's still David Sirloin Steak
>>745761164american
>>745760229But LoLfags told me riot is an epic super mega company that's super competent and great at making games?
>>745761078Making it a tag fightan instead of a more simple 1v1, plus the roster selection is absolute garbage in every shape or form
>10 years dev timeholy shit lmao
Lmao, called it.Everyone with a brain knew this shit wouldn't last a year, and it didn't even last that long.
>>745760484Funnily enough Marathon outlived 2XKO>your game died before Concord 3
>>745760229>put braum, illaoi, caitlyn, and fucking senna in the game instead of any of the biggest hitters >game dieswow i can't believe itthese are NOT the characters to carry a game if you WANT SMASH BROS SALES FIGURES
>>745760229Riot thought FGC would fall for skin FOMO like whites and asians do for valorant and league
>Invincible VS and this game both had immediate layoffs when they came out>Tokon having a rocky start and trying to win back players with patchesMaybe we can stop making tag fighters now? It clearly isnt working out and hasent been working out since after Ultimate Marvel 3.
>>745760229The Concord of fighting games
>>745760596> if they didn't give it the world dumbest name and also launched it on steamAnd if they'd pick a lane of if it is a newbie friendly game or not, if they'd had more than 8 characters in a tagslop game at launch and 90% of just Arcanetroon characters. Or Vanguard. Or predatory freemium monetization, ugly desexualized character models. Or...
>>745760928>drained MILLIONS from Riot for over a decadeIn my book they're extremely based
Yikes even COTW hasn't died yet.
>>745761352>after Ultimate Marvel 3.*after FighterZ
>>745760229and this game was supposed to save the FGC, fucking poverty niggers forever ahahhahah, such a bum genre
People can blame the executives all they like and riot executives deserve it, but how the fuck did this game take 10 years to make. Complete developer malpractice. >>745761116Dont forget the mmo coming in 2040 LMAO
>not enough champs on release>tag fighter, so niche within a nicheThe game didn't really have a flashy 'thing' about it to make seem like a good time investment for normies. Not to mention the above friction, so it was always doomed when it released. It needed to be in a more completed state and release 3 years ago to have a chance
>>745761253>White man
>lasted less than the multiversus relaunchayy lmao
Any fighting game that isn't SF, Tekken or Guilty Gear is just a money laundering scheme, honestly. Especially these licensed games.
>>745761328Many are scared of this truth nuke.
>>745761164el terror de las americanas
>>745761060>1 (ONE) attractive femaleso fucking deserved lmao
>>745760229>Buy a completed engine and start with that>Take a longer dev time than any other fighting game would ever be allowed to have>Pivot to tag fighter halfway through development for no real reason>Shill the game for years at EVO and through paid FGC personalities >Beat your chest about how your game is beginner friendly but also has massive depth (always a lie)>Launch the game with a fraction of the characters people expected in a LoL fighter >Excluded all the obvious characters people wanted and give them Braum and Illaoi>Release boring Arcane characters for DLC and more shitty supports like Senna and Thresh>Break the glass and release overpriced swimsuit skins>Game dies anywayHoly press S to spit. Imagine what another fighting game company could have done with 10 years in development for one game and a near infinite budget. Riot blew the chance of a lifetime they deserve every bit of ridicule they're rightfully gonna get for this.
>>745761078ultimately they missed the boat. the perfect time to release this game would have been during the covid era when everyone was screeching at capcom for having dogshit netcode. All they had to do was release a basic SF2 clone with good rollback, but they instead chose to spin their wheels for an entire decade, rebooting the game endlessly until it convulsed into a tag game (which casuals hate)
>>745760229An actual shame because I think the real reason it failed is due to absolute zero marketing.>TERRIBLE name>NO CROSS PROMOTION with other riot games>almost zero adsIt's like some people at Riot deliberately sabotaged it, it's like they were so pissed at the long development they decided to screw them over.
>>745761418it's pretty dead, it's only being propped up by oil money
>>745761253avatar is better than all the japanese fighters out right now desu.
>>745761164Those niggas from the future in South Park
>>745761078I think there was never a good vision of what it was supposed to be. Wanting to be a casual one-button-specials kind of game with lots of cool stuff going on like MVC3 while also having deep system mechanics and interplay + co-op 2 player gameplay that could farm viral moments. Just a giant mash of shit with the hope that the IP would carry it.
>>745760229When's tokon?
>>745761046our guy Felipe was right about the cannonball brothers!!?
>>745761078how about not giving it the worst name in gaming history?
>>745761324As I've already said in this thread, there's an argument 2xko WAS Concord 3. Marathon can be Concord 4 or whatever
>>745761352Seriously, I get the idea; tag fighters let them balance characters along multiple avenues (this dude is a GREAT assist so even if he’s lower tier he still has uses) but nobody wants to pick up a new game and immediately have to learn multiple characters
>>745761328>>745761492What sector would suffer the most if all whites and east asians died off overnight?
>>745760229what is 2xko
>>745761552tbf a lot of these games are more popular on consoles
>>745761531Forcing people to use Riot's launcher on PC definitely stopped people from even considering it. They gotta have their kernal level anti cheat though you know how it is.

>>745761352I don't know if tag fighters are a problem, it worked for DBFZ. I just want to know why all tag fighters decided to copy MvCI and BBTAG in adding active tag. Why copy two failures instead of just copying MvC3, MvC2 or even DBFZ? Do they hate money?
>>745760229Lythero is crying in his cuck chair after hearing this.
>>745761609Child rape
>>745760229And nothing of value was lost
I have never played a fighting game for more than an hour. Can someone explain to me what the appeal of tag fighters is?From an outside perspective, the concept just seems weird.
>>745760229Fighting games are a niche genre that only appeals to hardcore tryhard autists. It's one of the worst possible live service mass appeal games you can make. I am utterly baffled by all the new fighting games coming out and why game execs keep getting hoodwinked into making these.Of course, this game uniquely suffered from things like the terrible name but this was inevitable as long as it was a fighting game.
>>745761608Even then i see plenty of people main 1 character in tokon and the other 3 on their team are just assist bots. Nobody playing the game wants to actually engage with the tag fighter part.
LUKEGAWDS
lmao i remember when everyone was saying that pros will play it because of rito's money
>>745761805Tagslop is for autistic masochists. Unironically.
>>745760296Pathetic
clockwerk did this
>2XKO is making ALL the right choices>109k views>8 months ago>Maximilian Dood
Literally no one remembers it at this point but they bought and shut down the Rising Thunder devs to work on 2XKO a decade ago, why anyone expected anything from a concord-tier cally wally dev team is beyond me.
>>745761719>so he is now playing Deadlock. KEKLast time I opened his stream he was playing Tokon and looking miserable as the matchmaking took ages, and on his first match he had a ton of lag. Crazy how this retard saw Saudis buying the whole FGC and decided to be anti-Saudi while remaining in the FGC, rebelling against your biggest potential employer/sponsor is either a lot of courage or stupidity.
They spent WAYYYYY to much fucking time developing this and made it a retarded tag fighter What the fuck is with current fighting games trying to force tag fighting all of a sudden? Tag fighters felt more niche yet for some reason they kept getting pushed this time around
>>745761881okay but you can't call those people delusional, everyone thought riot would have a brain but they hired the worst californian fgc faggots to handle the biggest video game ip
There's literally only 2 relevant fighting series, SF & Tekken.
>>745760229
>>745761864based
lol
>>745761921>Played more Multiversus than 2XKO
imagine how much they lost on their dog shit mmo, fucking retards thinking they could branch out
>>745762008KWAB
CapGods won
>>745761352Tokon's faults are with Sony sabotaging the PC version, it's sad but not comparable to how bad the other two were managed.
>>745761352With how popular rollslop has become it surprises me that no dev has yet attempted to make a simple 3D fighter by using Froms combat as a base for it. Even From itself is trying something similar with Duskbloods and it's obvious that no one actually want what modern fightan devs are shitting out (not even the neanderthals and niggers that have been obsessed with the genre for 2 decades now), arguably not even SF6 is doing any good right now.
>>745762008HOLLY KEK
>>745761078A lot of the controversial design decisions were made during that weird period where SFV was largely perceived as bad, and there was a perception that UMVC3 (or at least the idea of UMVC3) was way more popular than it actually was as both a game people played and spectator event, but before it returned to EVO to lukewarm reception. The Cannons probably showed whatever upper management a sizzle reel of 'hype' MVC youtube clips with a bunch of views and comments and got free reign to turn it into an oppressive tag fighter and hire their friends to screw around for 10 years. The statements by Clockw0rk indicate that Riot probably had nobody on the inside that could tell they were being bullshitted by a hobbyist clique.Even Rising Thunder's original distinguishing factor, rollback netcode, had become industry standard among most of the mainstream Japanese fighters by the time 2xko came out.
>>745762008uh oh meltie.
>>745762025>>745762108
>>745760728It was also played at CEO last weekend.The game had a decent reception among tournament-level fighting game players. But that's really the only crowd that likes it. The game is just another minor fighting game among many. A handful of people prefer its tag mechanics over other tag games, but other than that no one has a reason to stick around. League players will only play League. Non-League players avoid it like the plague. It's a fighting game so the barrier to entry keeps everyone out and it offers nothing remarkable to make people want to get over that barrier.The character selection is poor, the presentation and character designs are weirdly ugly and in general the game is just nothing special. The only interesting gimmick is the fact you could play it with 2 players per side or even 2 players vs 1 player(which was even tournament legal), But really no one was gonna pick up the game just for that.
the biggest victim of all of this. How do you buy this game and studio and then make a product that is the complete opposite of what they were going for
>>745761981well i though there will be at least one tournament with prosthey didn't even do that, they had to knew that it's over
>>745760229fun gameterrible managament
2XKO needs to be studied
>>745760229So, were they going for the hyper competitive, hardcore gamer crowd?
>>745762008He was serious? Not paid? Genuine in his enthusiasm towards the game? Woah...
>>745761352sony actively sabotaged tokon with it's dogshit DRM raping performance on the PC version
I had to sit through YEARS of retards hyping this game up saying how it'll "change the fgc" and that it can't fail "it's a riot game and the Cannon brothers duuuude!" Only for it to die in less than a year. This is the best outcome possible I'm so fucking happy. Fuck Riot, fuck league, and fuck everyone who plays their dogshit
DICKO WON BIGLY
>>7457618051v1 fighters are about how individual characters match up against one another tool-wise, and how players attempt to win that fight using their understanding of the character and how their opponent responds.Tag fighters multiply this complexity by increasing the amount of characters. So there's more opportunity for interplay between them as you could field characters that are good at different things and swap as needed, but this tends to make tag fighters extremely explosive since one incorrect choice could lead to you being down an entire character (Marvel 3, BBTag)This is separate from team games like KoF or CVS where characters can't tag in, they just swap in after each one dies and you're basically playing multiple 1v1s
>>745762089The game is copying all the wrong ideas from games like Marvel Infinite so it definitely has gameplay issues not just port/performance ones.
I legit believe the League IP hurt this game more than it helped it, its legit a toxic IP at this point, everyone I know who doesn't play already play it hates it, and most of the people who do still play it also hate it
>>745761060>We have Overwatch at home
>>745760928>>74576106010 years in development, managed to get even more millions from Riot because the devs themselves decided to reset development half way through, still managed to put out garbageis there no management at Riot??
>>745762214it's a shop you dingus
>>7457618374v4 is so fucking stupid
>>745761060>sample size this miniscule>still managed to sneak in two niggers
Riot screwed over the 2XKO fanbase by cancelling the 2XKO without even allowing users to buy the battlepass like they said they would in April 2026 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>745761452It took 10 years because they kept rebooting or retooling it, it’s like the fighting game equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever
>>745761060>no jax, j4, wukong, garen, kat, ryze, udyr, rengar, kha'zix, zed, shen, poppy, gp and many more>waste slots on arcane slop and shit like tresh, his bitch and fucking lux to try and get some players
>>745760229>have the absolute WORST balance in the history of fighting games >EOS in less than a year despite spending godly amounts of money on shilling it talk about KEK
>>745760887It's a 2v2 game. If you kill with a Happy Birthday(comboing both enemy characters at once), the game calls it a 2XKO.
>>745760229Bro, streamers were pimping this like 2 weeks ago......
Go woke, go broke.
>>745762371tokon is next
Holy fucking shit my sides.How do you let this fucking shit happen?
>>745762257Infinite's biggest gameplay issue was the stones not being balanced but those arent in Tokon. Right now Spidey and Storm are SSS tier but not unbeatable.

>>745761947Yep. And it's all performative as fuck caring so much about some random Saudi reporter or cheap immigrant labor. Bitch please America literally killed millions in the past 2 decades. These FGC fags need to know their place in the world. You can't be moralfagging about another country's problems when your own country is making chaos every week.
>>745761631Two times knockout? Which is kind of retarded because you get one knockout per boxing match or a technical knockout after three knockdowns. I mean, could two dudes knock each other out at the same time? Sure but why would you name your fighting game that when fighting gamers want to win their matches, not draw?

>>745762253What if they made it so that the round ends when one character gets ko'd? That way you'd never be forced to play 2v1.
>>745760229LoL is only popular in asian countries with a bunch of autists playing some poorly balanced e-sport game. No one enjoys playing a game for an hour and losing because of some mismatch or garbage jungle shenanigans. They aren't interested in fighting games.They SHOULD have made a super normie friendly fighting game. Instead they went after an even more insular autistic e-sport community : the FGC.Hey guys I got a great idea let's>make all female characters safe horny>make another garbage e-sport fighting game with 50/50 hit confirms, infinite combos and tags>spend 10 years making some super small roster
dont worry guys GhostCrawler will save the company with the new super MMO
Why was there no female Yordles?
remember when every subhuman was saying that f2p was the way to go for fighters

Hilarious, I pray it causes immense seething and coping from low IQ fags who are into this type of gay ass shit.
>>745762683Tag/team games don't have round resets like 1v1 fighters, the whole match is decided by who kills the other guy's entire team. In tournaments they just play more matches if the game is that fast. People have won comebacks after being down multiple characters, that's part of why Marvel 3 was so beloved to watch despite how people bemoan comeback mechanics in fighting games. X-Factor meant you were never really out of the game since if you saved it almost any character could become an immense threat because it gave you a stronger boost if you had less characters left, and if you used it earlier you could confirm a kill on one of your opponent's characters, or even 2 if you hit the assist at the same time. Despite this, "anchor" characters who are strong when they have a lot of meter are also part of the team building strategy of tag games, so taking them out by just making you lose if any character goes down would feel like shit. Marvel Tokon does one health bar shared between every character I think but I'm not sure how people feel about that in practice, it's pretty early in the game's life
>>745762706Ghostcrawler quit a few years ago and the independent game he was working on was cancelled because Netease or whatever chink company it is decided to stop the cashflow.
>>745762816>>745762902KWAB
>>745760229I thought it was still in development. The fuck?
>>745761078The game design lacked vision, the roster seemed to lack many fan favorites, f2p model backfired
Now valve should make a real fighting game after baiting then with the fake one
>>745762726I think being f2p was among the least of 2XKO's problems, if it even rated amongst them at all.
>>745762008das rite, faggot
>>745760887Honestly that dumb name is part of the reason it failed
>>745763216>fgg>playing fighting games
>>745761060>Almost 1/4 of the roster is marksmen >Marksmen with heavy zoning tools>Missing obvious fighter choices like Lee Sin or Jax >Not even a hype champ like Lux>Puts fucking Senna into a TAG FIGHTER without her husband to tag out withFrom both a fanservice and fightan role aspect this roster is trash. At least the Teemo design is pretty fuckable.
>>745763123I KNEEL>>745762901>I liked PS All Starsi bought the game day one and it was genuinely awful. Somehow managed to make a smash clone with none of the aspects that make smash clones fun
>>745761328>for valorant and leagueIt's obvious it was the lack of discord kittens and healsluts.
>>745763234the mmo is already dead, that's why ghostcrawler left years ago
>>745760609no but lol classic is possible
>>745760797please post some screencaps i want a laugh
I know like nothing about this game but lemme guess they tried appealing more to people that watched the gay netflix show instead of people that actually liked the original game and characters
>>745763216tell me you've never been to /fgg/ without telling me you've never been to /fgg/
>>745763337Valve can barely even support one game. Deadlock isn't even out of beta yet and they're already bored with it.
>>745760229>censored designs>arcane shit in the game>shitty monetization>shittier balancedeserved
Lmao, I remember a couple of years ago some fags were saying that this and the mmo were going take over their respective genres. How the hell did riotfags get so delusional? Did Valo not immediately make them think that riot was the next kingmaker?
>>745760229BUT IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
>>745763123its genuinely the only good modern fighter.
>>745763098I dont really care one way or another. Theres literally 0 money in the FGC otherwise so idc if people sellout. But it is blood money and everyone knows it so i dont like when the people taking it try to white wash it. Eventually this money will run dry just like how all the dumb venture capital money did before the esports bubble burst
>>745761164lightskin niggas
>>745763536this game was so shit but damn I kinda miss smacking the fuck outta people with harleyabsence makes the fart go yonder or whatever
>>745760229Yeah, fuck all of them for what they did to Akali's design.>didn't even release the K/DA skins on launchA bunch of fucking RETARDS.
>>745763536Beta 1 was the most fun I've had with any platform fighter
>>745761060>trying to appeal to arcanefags as if they would ever touch a fighting gameAt least get a champion from each region for fucks sake
>>745763478>instead of people that actually liked the original gameleague players are subhuman and don't even like their own game, and league players were never going to stick around for a fighting game; especially one that masquerades as a party game with ez inputs while simultaneously trying to be a tag-fighter esports game
>>745763536I think this actually lived longer.
>>745763379going f2p is 100% a huge part of the reason why its dead already. f2p needs a critical mass of players that keep putting money in. it also requires a constant stream of content being pushed out which is way harder for a fighter than it is for other genres.>>745763478yes actually.
>>745760229Deserved for disrespecting Garen. Try a better roster next time, losers.
>>745761710Katarina was in the earliest demos too, it's fucking ridiculous
anyone knows how much the skins/cosmetics cost?
>>745763430It was my coping mechanism for brawl having unplayable online and i did get the platinum in All Stars cause it was easy too.
>>745763528The only successful game they made that wasnt league was tft. And they just fired the lead dev for that game. They are trying to transition TFT to unreal engine and its a fucking disaster. Riot as a company is fucking incompetent
>>745760229they didn't even bother to make a "play 12 matches of 2xko and get a shitty skin for free" type of advertisement to lol playersthey are super kikes and deserve the wrost
>>7457635362xko was stillbornthis was like a flaming crib death
2xk o7
>>745761352this shit would have crashed and burned if it was a 1v1, same for all those other games. people need to face the idea that its fighting games that are dying off in general and only things like street fighter can survive due to jap loyalty.
>>745760229Shouldn't have made a fighting game. The genre is captured by Capcom to the point that other games are only given a chance when Street Fighter is doing poorly. As much as people complain about SF6, it has a grip on the FGC to the point they would rather quit fighting games than try anything else.
>>745761710>>745763740she was in the earliest versions of the game, this shit was restarted like 3 times
>>745761771DBFZ didn't even have rollbackif DBFZ came out on the release date of Strive with rollback it would've done even better than it already did
>>745760229Does riot really think anyone gives a fuck about the league 'universe'?
The fuck is 2XKO?Oh right, that League of Legends thing. Is that hot fox girl in it?
Maybe they should name it "League fighters" instead of whatever retard suggested this retarded name
>>745762362>treshHe is the only one of the post launch characters who lock good
>>745760229>Females are censored>Give Akali the worst hair cut ever>Costumes are censored>Arcane shilling out the fucking ass>DiesI truly hope to God they release that MMO and it crashes and burns.
>>745763628Looks like fucking cringe shit, so some push ups kid
>>745761060I've never touched Dota, or whatever game this is based off of, but these are the most boring character designs I've ever seen. Like somehow ever more soulless than modern World of Warcraft designs.
>>745760928>>745760928more like biggest winners
>>745763764>fire all the cool devs or they leave>company goes to shitMany such cases
>>745763691this kind of cope is why it flopped.there are a gorillion people who have played LeL at some point. not catering to them by refusing to add the original characters they were all exposed to was RETARDED.for most people LeL is Master Yi, Garen, Gangplank and Nasus. Not new-age browns nobody cares about or lame lesbians.
>>745761060Deserved to die for this filth.
>>745763789Do we not think Avatar will survive more than a year?
I blame air blockstun decisions
>>745760229>thinly veiled malware shits and floppeded itselfsKek
>>745763845yes, shes OP
>>745760229BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>745760637even if it was a fighting game masterpiece it would still never have met expectations. 2D fighting games are 1v1 sweatlord pvp experience for a niche audience.You can have 200k player day one and still fail horriblyEveryone knows that a big part of the success of Moba is that you are not alone and can always blame your teammates for fucking up.
>refunding ALL ingame purchases made before todayHonestly surprised they're being this generous, did they think this was such a bomb that it was necessary to refund all ingame purchases despite them all being cosmetics in fear of bad press?
>>745763691The direction of the game still confuses the fuck out of me. It's like they tried really hard to get the casual audience with the simplified inputs, the co-op tagging, and all the wrappers. Then they made a fucking tag fighter with tons of ToD combos, a few OTG options, and a roster fucked with zoners while clearly trying to push esports. I have no idea what the target demographic is and I don't think they do either.
>>745763312>I'm going to tattoo the worst fighting game name ever created on my fingers
>>745761060how is blitzcrank the only decent looking character, wtf is this artstyle. why are jinx and caitlyn censored up the ass. why does warwick look like he's from a completely different game.
>>745763716>yes actually.it really wasn't. league faggots were never going to play a fighting game to begin with.Its like making a call of duty themed bullet hell space shooter, or a DOTA themed golf game
>>745763948Whats her name again?
Let's post champions who should've been in from the very start. How the hell was this game allowed to come out without such a clear Shoto like Garen, and so few characters?
>>745763929I mean, I hope it will, but to be honest it doesn't look like it will last that long
>>745761328I liked the gameplay of 2XKO enough that I would have bought in just for the sake of highschool nostalgia when I played League of Legends, but none of the characters I actually liked are in the game. The only character I played in 2XKO is Warwick, but I'm not gonna hand over money to get a skin for him if I don't see myself spending enough time and money in the game because the characters I wanted are all freak picks like Singed and Urgot and Malphite and they're never going to actually get put in the game.
>>745763931>COTW

Weirdass furry design
>>745760229How did modern Riot even make Valorant?
>>745763918>this kind of cope is why it flopped.it flopped because league players aren't going to play a fucking fighting game, its F2P and monetized like ass, 2XKO is an awful name that doesn't even capitalize on the brand recognition, and its a fucking tag fighter (the worst kind of fighter)
now that the dust has settled, why did the fgc lose interest in tagslop?

>>745762683This is how Tekken Tag does it, in other tag fighters you have to kill the opponent's entire team to win a match
>>745764118>media that's not even fucking outAre you retarded? 2xko came out last year, flopped, then they pretended the first launch was just a beta and launched AGAIN with the console release this year.
>>745764181Yeah, Ahri, thats it.She's hot as hell.
>>745761046Yup, Riot rolled back their game.
not a single SKGfag showing up to campaign for an eternal 2XKO lmao
>>745764098yes refer to >>745761552
>>745763931You could argue cotw should be there with the whole guest character choice thing but it had a (mostly) solid releaseStrive was a mess on release though, not sure what this meme is trying to show.
>>745762008i dont see that tweet, did you make this up or did he delete it
>>745763123>YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT
i liked Ekko's corner combossucks i never landed my TOD on someone at full health in the betanever played the full release because they already fired half the staff and the writing was on the wallretard company

>>745761060Where are all the hot girls from the LoL porn I jerk off to
>>745764012Imagine it's just a small goodwill thing because it would have been a tiny number of sales. I know a few people who still play and I don't think they bought anything the skins were too expensive.
>>745764012The game was such a flop they must be refunding 200 dollars total at most.
>WE WILL HAVE ROLLBACK NETCODERemember when it was their key selling point when they announced the game and everyone in the FGC was hyped by it? kekIt was supposed to be the biggest fighting game of all time... lmao
>>745760229Coming soon to:AVATARTOKON
>>745763427Lux was added.
>>745763931For this picture to be accurate, Avatar should be alive but begging for table scraps Oliver Twist style, 2XKO should be a stillborn fetus, Tekken 8 should be dual wielding shotguns, and CotW should be quad wielding.
>>745763931What's going on with the Avatar game I'm out of the loop
>>745762617>But whatabout

>>745764239the servers are staying up, it's just gonna be in purgatory like HotS or artifact
>>745764148Magic. Valorant been dying in all regions apart from Asia too for some reason lmao. Bugmen love Valorant. Apparently Apex Legends also has steady decline across all regions apart from Asia that keeps the game alive.
>>745760229stupid fucking name
>ten years in development>for ten months before EoS
>>745760229Next month: TOKON
>>745760229>artifact lasted longerHOLY KWAB
YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS! It was right there, Add The Yordels!
>>745764040Riven is a legitimately shocking omission. Easily should have been one of the first characters put into the game. I don't know if she polled poorly with test audiences or something but I can't wrap my head around how Braum gets into the game but not Riven.
>Tag slop>No loli or yordles Good
>>745764329It wasn't rollback they were making a big deal out of it was some routing tech to minimise ping or something. And it actually was good the netcode was probably the best in any fighting game.
>>745761060what an ugly ass roster, what were they thinking
>>745763123You can't say you won when it ain't even finished
>>745763536This was the only fighting game I've enjoyed in like 15 years. Unfortunately they ruined it.
>>745761060Out of 15 characters, a third of them are from Piltover. Four of them are from Arcane. Not a single Demacian champion, from a region that was clasically with Noxus the main region. Gee, I wonder why it failed since it catered to chicks with dicks and weird hair color people.
>>745763931It's fucking strange that despite everything strive is the only one that deserves to be next to sf6 in the>don't blow your shit smoove offcompetition. Like I thought snk would've learned something from the multiple years of shooting their own games in the legs.
saudi infinite money glitch > chinese infinite money glitch i guessother trash like city of the wolves is still kicking because of this
Be Honest anon, did you remember or had 2XKO in your radar?This just screams of someone in marketing fucking up big time
>>745760229>2xkoWhat the fuck was up with this name.
how did they not learn anything from legenda of runeterra
>>745762937woolie is enamored with 2xko and that dull looking avatar game for some reason
goodnow shut down all the other shit
>>745760887I don't remember
>>745764537when it was first announced I was super pumped, the more I heard about it the less interested I was and after I tried the beta I was completely checked out.
>>745762371Tokon is barely hanging in there. This is a blind man spitting on a crippled man.
>>745761710In a grave ever since her first rework
>>745760229never heard of it they should know new IPs are meaningless serve up the millennial slop from 16 years ago that's all we want
>refunding all purchasesProbably cost more money to pay a lawyer to fight any lawsuits in court than it was to just refund the money
>>745764451Easy rekka style character but nah let's put a big body character with shield.
>>745764148take cs, add overwatch shit, add lots of colors to tickle gooks and chinks fancies
People still play fighting games?
Im one of the few that actually liked her look in this game. Im gonna miss her.
Riot MMO is next on the chopping block
>>745764542>>745760596>>745761037>>745761531they actually made a wall of text copium post about the shit namehttps://2xko.riotgames.com/en-us/news/announcements/naming-is-hard/
HAHAHAHAHA
You can still keep playing it you faggots, its not like its going away.
>>745764040Why would you not include Udyr? He's one of the most blatantly obvious stance characters in the game.
>>74576106010 fucking years
>>745764329Even in 2018 everyone besides arcsys had rollback lol. They were already selling a common feature as a big deal back then.
>>745760229Multiversus outlasted this game
>>745764687KEK
>>745761060no master yi?no udyr?no fucking LEE SIN?
>>745764261>anon encounters someone editing html for the first time
>>745764537I was interested when they first announced it years ago, then I lost most of that interest when they said it was going to be a tag game, and I completely stopped caring when they said you needed to use their shitty malware to play on PC.
>>745764537I legit thought it was still in some kind of closed early access and had stopped payin attention.
>>745764537I was just hoping Poppy and the other Yordles would be added so their models could be used for porn. Honestly, I thought the game hadn't come out yet.
Tag fighters are garbage Stop making them
Tokon is not gonna just end support when Sony has a stranglehold on the marvel IP currently.If they suddenly lost exclusive rights to it tomorrow sure.
>>745764664it's for the best, 90% of the characters / npcs would've been trans & nonbinary
>>745761418CoTW is more dead than this game, the only thing it's got going for it is some Arab investor who loves SNK, otherwise it would've hit EOS ages ago.
>>745764012Would have been funny if they just refunded it into ingame store currency for use on their other games.
>>745760229This is why I'm not excited for Riot's MMO. Valorant is the only good game they've released (and it's a cs:go clone). If they actually do something original, it will be a failure like 2xko or LoR, if they try to copy WoW or any other MMO, it will be a failure because those games rely on their name brand not the actual game design.
>>745760229KWABOTY
>>745764702Ask Riot to send you a tent to live in you fucking retard
>>745764134Did they do this to appeal to the chinks or something, I don't get why would they make his design so generic. Arcane is a cancer.
>>745764708Udyr is like the Booster of League of Legends
>>745760229For what they showed Riot basically got nothing done after the 10 year anniversary. They released Valorant and that’s about it. And now we’re coming up on the 20 year anniversary. Need new CEO.
>>745762770Tokon is free falling because Sony is sabotaging the PC version on purpose.Nowadays a lot of tournament runners do it on PC because the main FG which is SF6 runs flawlesly on PC. So the biggest chunk of FG players is on PC today.
>>745763478It's another dev once again not even remotely doing it right and adding on even more complexity and just outright ignoring casuals as a whole.
>>745764702>i quit my job to play this gameis the fgc retarded?
>>745762770do you people never learn kekyou will be lucky if tokon lives as long as 2xk0
>>745764080Isn't she DLC?
>>745760229>Fighting gameNow there's your problem.
>>745760229Ahahahahahahahaha
>>745764604No that is a blind man who had acid thrown in his face by his super rich mentally deranged boss and is slowly gaining his sight back.
>>745760229>all cosmetics bundledwhat does it mean?
>People didn't like the league of legends fighting game.No, fans hated this was the Arcane fighting game.
riftboundsisters... we're safe right?
>>745762734Battle For The Grid kind of did that. At least as long as you didn't go online until you knew what the fuck you were doing.
>>745764373Rushed out to the point it doesn't have ranked, lacks proper lobbies, most of its features are broken or buggy, three characters have unfinished animations and two of them don't even have all their supersIt's getting a pass because those who try it love the gameplay, but that's all people coming from smaller, more dedicated games like Skullgirls, CotW, KOF, Blazblue and Under Night. Casuals are instantly scared off and people playing games like SF6 refuse to touch it until it gets ranked matchmaking
>>745764510Strive shot itself repeatedly, it's just that no one cared because of goodwill and covid. Imagine a game launching like Strive nowadays:>no ranked mode>towers and lobbies are buggy as hell and will disconnect you, desync you, you won't even be able to connect in the first place, etc>game can take over 30 minutes to boot depending on where you live unless you use totsugeki.exe because the game needs to make tons of synchronous api calls to Japanese servers with tons of latency>hackerman can shut down any streamed tournament or any streamer, period>you can only pick one stage to play online as everything else lags consoles>single player is a barebones arcade mode and a movie with no gameplay>same meta for years>no costumes, which shouldn't be a big deal but consider how much SF6 players ask for costumes all the timeSeriously, imagine Avatar did any of this. Imagine if SNK released a fighting game like this.
>>745764537I was never interested in it, nor do I really follow people, but I remember how 10 years ago """people""" were excited about a new game from an existing franchise that could bring in a lot of new blood to the fighting game genre (and money, everyone wanted Riot to pump money into tournaments like Mortal Kombat/Injustice got for years, that was what they really wanted). Then Capcom/Bamco started doing million dollar tournaments and leagues for SF/Tekken and that was basically already the end for this game.As for the game itself, yeah I heard about the betas and its launch but I was never going to play it since it's a tag game.
>>745764708The game has a strange lack of melee fighters who would make sense in a fighting game and instead has a lot of characters who spam projectiles.
>>745761060>Two burly women in a single rosterAre you fucking insane?
>>745764040>Morde + Mundo tank/grapple mechanics>Riven combo heavy>Spin spin garen>Gangplank/Ashe zoners>Shen/Zed/Master Yi your Mortal Kombat NinjasTheir current roster is so pathetic it's fucking unreal. I haven't touched LoL in over a decade and seeing their temu redesigns of old characters is sad
>>745764708>Why would you not include Udyr?They named the game "2XKO", anon.
>>745761164Generic NPC in Western AAA Open-World Game
>>745764854Heh, good. Fuck PC.
>>745764854>>745762819>>745762820What's happening with Tokon?
Americans haven’t made a good game since Bioshock.
>>745764675I'm pretty sure they made more than one. That one you linked was at least the second time they tried to justify it
>>745764928I heard second season is shit. Is there a third?Also they shouldve added that bad guy from S1, he has a nice VA
>>745764537m8 I had to hear about it saving fighting games for a whole decade.
>>745764896They're launching a heavily discounted bundle that includes every DLC cosmetic for $500.
>>745762901>PS All StarsThis honestly wasn't so bad. I didn't like the way knock outs were handled but there was something there that a sequel could have improved on.
>>745764854sony is cancer but arcsys can't code for shit, be real my man
>>745765030It flopped
>>745764040HOW IS ZAC NOT IN THE GAMELITERAL STRETCHY DHALSIM MAN
Oh, the misery.
>>745764702To be fair he's making a killing on twitch but I hear he had a really good job. The fact he left it over video games will never not be funny.
>>745764040Lee Sin is the most outright fighting game champion in the entire game. How do you miss that?
>>745762371We gonna have this same thread about Tokon next year
>>745764040I find the lack of Garen personally insulting.
>>745765091The crack proved that the majority of the problem on pc is caused by the DRM. Arcsys's audio bug fix thing was much less of an impact than people are seeing on the cracked version.
>>745765109Yeah you have to be fucking stupid to do this now
>>745760229173 champions to choose from and they somehow managed to have such a pathetic not even fap worth roster, that's impressive.
>>745764448Made for starchild's cock
>>745760679>modern gamesAll games are like that, people eventually stop playing any new or old game too because there was no new content, they already experienced everything the game had to offer. They may play again years later but outside of that only a few turbo autists will be playing it>b-but chess or somethingYes, only a few turbo autists play it as an actual hobby
>>745765091How do you explain it being even worse than Arc Sys other PC ports?
>>745762726I hope that trend of f2p shit dies and dies fast. Fucking poison tactic for game
>>745765184>not even fap worthAhri's right there
how?!??!!they added all the tranny dyke characters from arctranny: the hit neflix show!!and SENNA!! everyone loves SENNA!!! ?!????
>>745764862You had people leaving their jobs at Google to go get throw looped all day long because Capcom waved around a million dollars.
>>745760229get fucked riot
>>745763287I genuinely hated the shared bar in Tokon, but it’s on top of a lot of issues I have with the game. 4 characters per team feels pointless, the amount of cutscenes mid fight, assist spam due to low CD.
>>745764040Annie is the most obvious puppet inclusion character of all time
>>745760729Aren't LoL and Valorant bussin?
>>745762726yes and they were wrong back then and they are still wrong
>it doesn’t NEED to have a big roster>it doesn’t NEED to have more non-human/loli/non-arcane characters>it doesn’t NEED to have a good name>it doesn’t NEED need to have mote singleplayer stuff>it doesn’t NEED to be 1vs1 instead of tagslop>it doest care if they fired 80% of the dev team, fighting games can live with a few people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIa01qunlmMThat sucks, at least they got this kickass song from Polyphia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjSb2gqaPVY
I cant believe Blaz Blue is about to make a return and be more successful than a League fighting game...
>>745765269they are good now, not at releasethis guy explained it already >>745764957
>>745761060>2 normal looking characters.>2 cool robot/skeleton dudes.>2 Furries.>The rest are women or diversity.wow, and this failed?
>>745765329>But whatabout street fighter
Apologize
>>745765329nephew is the biggest retard ever yes its true, and has zero tournament results from it to show. Can't say I blame him the game is so random and spastic its hard to say consistent.
>>745764040Even of they had to do only new characters, could't they have at least put in an actual fighter like Sett?
>make game that draws a small niche but dedicated player base>get surprised when they have a small niche and somewhat dedicated player base
>>745765030sony forced in analrape DRM that makes it run terribly on NASA computers.people instantly cracked it and got a 20frames boost.
>>745765293Something about how she looks in the game just feels off so I just can't do it
https://www.twitch tv/sajamIT'S UP
>add Akali>change her design and hide her dragon tattooIt's like every brain in that studio was working without any direction, lol
https://www.twitch.tv/sajam hes live
should have made that smash clone they originally wanted
>>745765415>kickassthis song fucking sucks, it's generic "esports video game" shit
>>745765415>Polyphia
>>745765456
>>745760229Can we use the corpses of 2XKO and Multiversus to resurrect Rumbleverse, pretty please?
>>745764215He posted the tattoo in 2024. He had to have played the 11 day alpha test and decided the game was good enough to tattoo on his fingers just from that
>>745765456never doubted you my queen
Rising Thunder sends its regards
>>745760229shills were still claiming the game was good and alive a 2 days ago lmao
Is (was) this seriously the roster?
>>745765524wouldve died the same waymaybe even faster
>>745765590>we want the arcane audienceand they got it, lmao
>>745764862>>745765109I hope he's just trying to be funny on twitter. Because I remember him saying on stream that he quit but still did consulting for his old company, so it's not like he is as retarded as Nephew. I also remember him saying that he quit for CotW and EWC at first, and maybe 2xko later. It's not like it was just 2xko.
>>745765293And that art style managed to kill her sex appeal, that takes effort.
But I thought 2XKO is here to stay???Legendary fighting game youtuber would never lie to me!
>>745764702>>745764835>>745764862he's not being serious you fucking retardsdiaphone is making a killing on twitch and youtube
>>745764523Do the Saudis just like City Of The Wolves?
>>745765387league is dying at RAPID pace
I mean the game had one million problems but the name itself was so bad. Why "two ecks kay oh". What a dumb fuckass name
>>745765590>10 years and 10s of millions of dollars gets you this kino
>>745765463nephew never said he quit explicitly. he was very likely laid off during the global tech sector pruning that Elon pioneered with twitter.
>>745760229Dota Allstars forum sends their regards
>>745765590Damn, 12 whole characters? What SNES game is this?
>>745760229That's unfortunate. I don't play fighting games often but this one actually looked nice. Most look like dogshit and appeal to nogs.
>>745765590>Arcane: The fighting game ft. The Usual suspectsSo glad this shit flopped
>>745765685>DOOD w/ Geoff in the thumbnailmy fucking sides
>>745761564It too is on life support numbers, what with it being effectively in early access.
>>745765483Oh, that would explain why all the people posting videos of the game are on console when they'd usually be on PC. What a fuck.
>>745765387Lol no
>>745765293And she looks like shit.
>>745765709>"I’ll die on the hill that Lethal Tempo was not it, though."
>>745765719>me when I lie
>>745765693yeah one of the oil princes is a huge fighting game fan and just throws money at some of these projects (of course with return in mind but still)
>The one chance to get another model of Tristana, Lulu, Poppy and Vex>All we get is TeemoFucking why
>>745765745Morello are you okay?
>>745765709It's like Double Knockout, 2x KO, because it's 2 v2 fighter. It's a fucking dogshit name, bizarrely generic as well.
>>745761060holy fucking woke lmaogood riddance hopefully the whole company goes bankrupt
>>74576559012 is a fine number for free roster, now show us how many fighters you are able to buy
>>745764760I don't know if the models would have been good for it but it would have been something for the game's credit.
>>745765456He was right. Again. Like always.Yet, no one will apologize and will keep bullying and shitting on him.
>>745765709shooters have the concord-like saganow fighting games will have the KO-like saga
>>745760229They really don't know how to make videogames.
>instead of a good fighting game make a shit tag fighter with long gay ass comboexactly how it was always going to end
>>745765853But that's the thing, it's NOT double knockout. It's deliberately pronounced two ecks kay oh instead of double knockout, which would have also been bad but not as bad. They legitimately chose the worst option possible
>>745765825Count your blessings. Look at all the other females on the rooster as a reference, shit would've been a monkeys paw.
>>745760928Most of the official trailers had more footage of these two clowns than the actual game. 2XKO was just a vehicle for them to get their name out there as big boy devs.
>>745765096With how it was hyped and still is being hyped I was thinking it had made some waves by now.
>>745765787yeah it runs like ass on PC so all the console players are turning off cross play because its messing with online matches when one side cant keep up. and even if it does run on your machine well arbitrarily you will still get matched with people who cant run it well.its a disaster.
>>745765887>>>/vt/ranny
>>745765823Why did he do this
>>745762770>posts a worse game with a playerbase of marvelsoysrope
Don't care about the game.But they did commission a Spiritbox song, and that was cool of them.
>>745763458LoL classic is already a thing. I actually think it might be going on right now or at least it was a month ago or so. it's a timed event thing, probably.
>>745765524Would have died too. There are very few people who play Smash for its gameplay.
>>745765507they even kept this pose, so she points her covered back at the camera.clueless retards were in charge
Riot put so much stock into Arcane they downgraded Viktor to sickly twink, sank 2XKO and then proceeded to fuck up season 2 of Arcane anyway.Is there anything they can do right?
>>745765590Ilaoit is so ugly I hate her in lol and everywhere else.
>>745765685>Max's chat constantly asking him and his friends on stream "Which one of these fighting games will actually survive?">They all respond with "you have multiple cakes to pick from stop saying that">You do not in fact have multiple cakes to pick from cause fighting games are a niche unsustainable genre
>Development hell for almost 10 years>Supposed to be a traditional 1v1 game but scrapped in favor of a tag fighter>Hundreds of characters to choose from but only less than a dozen characters at launch>Shit microtransactions >Half of the roster is based on Arcane>Couldn't get Arcanefags to play itReminder they still have other shitty projects that are stuck in development hell. A LoL MMO, A LoL ARPG, and a Destiny inspired looter shooter sit in Valorant's universe.
>>745765696Is it though? Like i'm a Dotard and even i wouldn't make that claim. It does suffer like Dota did with the fact that the chinese only want to play mobile gacha now and the community might be shriking sure, but i would say its still far from dying
>>745765954Probably thinks he's employable again if things go south, funny enough the tech sector is in an even worse state than 2024 LMAO
>>745765685With youtubers you either have negative nancy trannies and toxic positivity fags (like Max). There's very few that try to actually report neutral facts.
>>745765997>just spend $60 + season pass on the game with month life span goyi hate streamers worst thing to ever happen to games
>>745762770Tokon is already dying thoughEven Maxishillion couldnt keep up the facade
>>745765685CHINDER CHANDER
>>745765937Because it's an over complicated variation of Double Knockout. Two EX, as 2x, two times, Kay Oh, as in Knock out, K.O. It feels like the spent a lot of time over thinking the title instead of just calling it League Fighterz or some shit like that.
>>745765824Fucking weird. But hell, I guess that explains why it's still going then.
I've been waiting for this day for years.
>>745765785If they're smart with that Paramount money, they can stretch out development for at least a few years
>>745766007>tag fighterslop>comboslop>trying to be the next marvel a game no one under the age of 40 plays anymoreFighting game devs are some of the biggest retards making games.
>>745762770But who is killing Tokon? Rivals? Or is it a suicide?
>>745765545I dunno man, I just like most stuff Timmy Hendrix puts out.>>745765546https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3o-l1LVNgwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5NoQg8LdDkcome on bro. come oooooonnn
>>745765997Well Max can't admit that fighting games are dying or unsustainable now can heDouble edged sword of becoming one of those oft coveted 'influencers'. You have positive and negative influence on the industry, often in ways you can't predict.
Damn and here I was with ALL OF MY MONEY waiting to spend on this game ready to drop FAT BAGS OF CARTOONISHLY LARGE SACKS OF MONEY on to spend it on FEMALE YORDLES AND ALL OF THERE COSMETICS. Looks like I a SINGLE STRAIGHT CIS MALE GAMER WITH A TON OF DISPOSABLE INCOME will have to continue to hoard ALL OF HIS MONEY untill a game desides to add SHORTSTACK FEMALES INTO THEIR GAMES.OOOOOOAH MY WALLET IS SO HEAVY
>>745766076One month is more than what a single player game usually lasts, and those are also $60 + season pass
>>745766174Being a tag fighting game and generic arcslop #316 is killing tokon
>>745765693The game is literally owned by an oil prince
>>745765951I didn't think Sony could so deliberately sabotage a release on another console like that but it explains a lot now.
>>745765994>ruined king rpg>170+ champs to choose from>they add her out of 6 playable characters to choose from>game is unmoddableREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>745764373a bunch of stuff not gameplay related, ie the game is great
You are not MvC3 That game sucks but is a fun kind of shittyYour tag garbage will not succeed
>>745765056>I heard second season is shit.Correct.>Is there a third?They won't make it anymore, it's too expensive.
>>745766141I'm just glad we got some Capcom fighting game collections before the entire industry craters. It's nice to have 'official' releases of shit like MvC and Project Justice
>Check the characters they release since last I played and the roadmap>foid>foid>foid>thresh>foid>foidMore like 2XChromosomes
>>745766223I don't need anyone else for a single player game to be good, i can return to it anytime and it will be just as good. I don't need to deal with the same 200 no lifers who only play that one game after a month making the single player game hell to casually enjoy.the value for money is massively different.
>>745765994She's their ultimate diversity pick burly brown chick with no sex appeal and no market appeal. Which of course is why Riot sticks her into everything.
>>745766223Bloodborne costed 60 and is better than 90% of fighting games released the past decade
>>745766372nothing wrong with releasing girls. Problem is the girls the guys would download the game for are the designs Western developers are going to design. I immediately bought Samurai Shodown the moment I found out about her DLC. This design simply is impossible for the West redesign, she's too cute.
>>745766261You can notice that there was an overlap between their rosters, and which was replaced by the arcanization.
>have FGC members design a video game>dies not even a year after release
2XKO? More like 2XAAAAACK
deserved for what they did to akali
>>745766496>No sex appeal>The giant buff woman that can summon tentaclesOh my sweet summer child
>>745766682happens every time
>>745765994>>745766496Damn, y'all weren't lyinWho likes this ugly bitch
>>745766682Seems to be a pattern there.
>>745766372Waifus sell, League knows this, 2xko versions just look lame and sexless.
>>745766748We all know who this character was made for
>>745763931I'm surprised Strive has survived as long as it has
>>745766682maybe the top 1% of player base actually have no idea how to make a game enjoyable to play and only can make shit for autistic fags to enjoy.
>>745762106Congrats, you've just reinvented the arena fighter. The absolute worst genre out there.
>>745766249Sony is the publisher of the game. Thats why there is also no xbox version.When SFV was forced out unfinished it was also because Sony pushed them.Just a shit company.
>>745766709Muscule mommy fags are both a loud and broke minority.
soooo....... when will the avatar fighting game die?
>>745766920its alive?
>>745766682Nothing designed for "top players" will ever be good
>>745760229Not surpised in the slightest.Anyone that has any faith in Riot is either new or a retard.
>>745765594>>745765975platform fighters have more inherent casual appeal
>>745766846you dont have to be broadly intelligent to be good at a video gamemost of the time its probably mutually exclusive
>>745764329It was a selling point at the time but development went on for so long that more games actually ended up implementing it and it wasn't special anymore
>>745766709its a male bodybuilder in a wig.all the redditors fawning over something like that are doing it performatively.
>>745764617Sales were THAT bad, huh?
>>745766920Give it another month before it drops to around 300-500 on steamBut people will continue coping by saying console is thriving despite having no actual numbers
>>745764384>In order to more clearly telegraph to players the important parts, we rigged up a system of spotlights and yellow paint to demonstrate where players were supposed to go in order to progress through the level, and instantly our playtest numbers shot through the roof. (Well, figuratively; the Courtyard is open-air, of course.) Next week, we came in to find all the paint and lights were gone by His decree; he told us that he “hated that hand-holding bullshit in modern games.” We ended up having to streamline the levels themselves into basically straight corridors, which made for a far less engaging experience overall. (Fortunately, I don’t think He reads Game Developer Magazine.)Too bad there aren't more based executives like this. I like how these devs were only able to think of yellow paint and straight corridors, they seem very intelligent.
>>745766958I don't know, I don't play fighting games, I just want a normal avatar game :(
>>745766709Even the musclefags don't like her dude.
>>745766960it was designed for babies though.
>>745766979Did that card game of theirs die too? Still haven't seen it hit shelves at any of my locals but I know it came out a while back already.
>>745764451They were banking on Arcane and arcanefags to play the game. Almost half the roster at launch are based from the show
>>745764537Yes, but then it took too long to come out and I didn't want to use the Riot launcher
>>745761060Being a furry is great because our degenerate shit is so weird it flies under the radar. I don't think our characters will ever have to deal with censorship or deliberately being made less sexy. Boy do I feel fucking bad for normies though as every fucking hoe here is chopped. Even an easy slam dunk like Ahri got a yeye ass haircut.
>>745766846I'd say this was the only success story, but we all know how it played out.
>>745764675>It should have been called LeaGUE [of] Fight-3rz:TEEMO-[XD].imagine being this mad and butthurt over chosing the most shitty name possible. its like whatever elon musk and grimes named their kid lmao
fighting games are a meme and it's not a coincidence the only ones thriving are grandfathered inthe genre has little inherent appeal, all the things it supposedly does well are done better in other genres.
>>745767075That game survived in peoples minds because porn if you look at the player base no one actually plays it or ever played it that much
>>745767046the one that was a videogame ended development, then they released one with physical cards and idk how it's performing.
>>745767023You were removed from the muscle mommy committee last week, RickStop speaking for us
So, right now, the only relevant fighting games in the next few years are-Street Fighter 6-Marvel Tokon-City of the Wolves-Tekken 8Everything else is dead/almost dead.And the only upcoming one is Virtua Figher.
>>745767180>marvel tokonlol
>>745766682Ah ah gotta be specific and mention how it was GG, mvc and bbtag fans(and couple dnf duel fans)
>>745767136Fighting games need to learn how to make good single player content, the games need to be enjoyable to play without ever touching pvp.There i saved the dying genre
>>745765907they got lucky with leagueeverything else they do is garbageand tbf they made league garbage now too
But really why no female Yordle
>>745761805tag fighters are sort of like playing a custom character to a certain degree. you play your character plus two special moves of your choosing. the addition of tag/dhc/snapbacks adds another layer of strategy and makes labbing the game very fun & rewarding.in terms of actual gameplay? tag is basically like freebasing fighting game mechanics and every match is a crack den nightmare but there's a reason people wind up in those crack dens
>>745767180Man even then Tekken 8 screwed the pooch so hard with their retarded balancing and patches
>>745767180>Tokon>CotW>TekkenYou literally only listed one relevant game
>>745767180tokon is the same game as 2xko but with 3 assists, making it worse
>>745767180Tokon isnt doing too hot itself right now brotherYoure already reaching avatars playercount
>>745767228It did enough to be alive for 4~5 years (the 10 years content was a fucking lie from the start, lol)
>>745767180You forgot strive which is somehow doing better than every non SF or Tekken game released after it
>>745767180Tokkon, COTW, and possibly Tekken 8 will be dying off soon as well.
>>745767237>dnf duelWhat the fuck happened with that? I remember there being a lot of hype for that during its betas and then nothing once if finally came out.
>>745767180tokon will be a dead in a few months
>>745766007>looter shooter sit in Valorant's universe.oh noit's horizon all over again
>>745767180>Tokonhe thinks he's one of us lmao
>>745767321Will Sony unfuck the game before it's too late or will they let it death spiral and move on?
remember when arc fighting games were something to be hyped about? now they just feel like a CoD game that releases every 6 months
>>745766052it is dying
>>745767321>Tokon isnt doing too hot500K is their usual numbers.
>>745767168It's doing alright right now, but 2XKO failing is proof Riot will kill it if it dips below their expected profit margin for even a single set. Don't expect it to be around for the long haul.
>>745767180SF6 is falling off outside of JapanTokon is already decliningCotW is kept alive by Saudi money but doesn't even have the same reach as KOFTekken 8 is the most hated game in the series, likely the last Tekken as directors and lead devs are leaving one after another, and only played because all the other 3D alternatives are dead or years away
>>745767423If it aint fixed by now while all eyes are on it then it looks pretty grim
>>745767439thank you for the very elaborate answer
>>745767180There's also DOA7! That's sure to be a big hit right?
>>745767332People deluded themselves into thinking it'd be decent because 8ing was making it but forgot it was 8ings 1st fighting game in almost a decade after umvc3 and ignored how it had worse movement and defense options than strive.
>>745766372Thresh literally ruined LoL's balance forever.
this game played like absolute shit and the control scheme was fucking retarded. like seriously i think everyone shilling this game was just in it for the potential riot prize pool and had no actual love for the game. just playing it felt so bad.
>>745766682esportfags have killed more games than woke ever could
>>745767180>And the only upcoming one is Virtua Figher.can't wait for the saudi overlords to put my boys ronaldo and dj garnacho in it!
>>745767441You added two zeros by mistake
>>745767483What went wrong with Tekken 8? Last one i played was Tekken 4
>>745766747>happens every timesf6 is designed by a famous milia player
Harada must be relieved that he gets to burn saudi money to make any kind of experimental fighting game slop he wants without any concerns.
>>745763012Yeah, but she's their favourite h1b flavour.
>>745767592
>>745767239I'd play a singleplayer fighting game with a gauntlet of unique and incredibly hard bosses. You could even market it as the dark souls of fighting games.
>>745767180>city of the wolves
>>745767152>>745767075skullgirls still outlived 2xko though, and continues to see tournament play to this day
>>745767637Capcom has decades of tard wrangling experience.Stop trying to suck eceleb cock zoomie subhuman.
>>745767452That's what I figured. Fighting games and cars games always seem like some of the fastest games to die when things go south sales wise.
>>745767520it was a pleasure
>>745760229And these guys are (supposedly) making an MMO btw.
>>745767180Amended list for you'The only relevant fighting games for the next few years are>SF6>Tekken>Virtua FigherNot necessarily for merit, but bc they're some of the oldest and most recognizable IPs in the genre. SF and Tekken both have serious problems. It's the same reason why Capcom had tournaments for CVS and MVCII/III - because people remember themRunners up for a low chance of survival:>COTW>AvatarConfirmed Dead/Dying>Tokon>2XKO>DBFZ (had a good run tho)
>>745767696>SellsHow many people are still playing it though?
>>745767282Too sexy
>>745767734>tournament playwho cares
>>745767761they aren't
>>745767239kys
>>745763826No, they think that if they force-feed it long enough people will accept it.
>>745767517I'll be honest, this was the first time I even heard Sony was doing this shit. Is it largely talked about by people that Sony fucked this game and keeps doing it? I'm guessing all the bigger YouTube fags knew to keep quite if they want to keep their Sony deals or potential for deals, but even smaller time didn't seem to mention it once.
>>745767895enjoy RTS 2.0
>>745767951kys
>>745767802>>COTW>survivingthat shits dead already anon
>>745764329their actual super sekret big brain idea was>what if rollback but also servers?and FUCKING SEGA beat them to the punch with that
in retrospect, it really is funny how many "serious fighting game people" treated this as the second coming of christ and the next big thing off of nothing but the fact it was made by riotand then you get this shit with a name no person looking to sell a product could possible come up with that dies in like what, a little over a year?
>>745760729they discovered how to print cardboard into money like half a year ago (riftbound)they also got an mmo in the oven but that will either bankrupt them or usher in a new golden age
>>745766682They don't understand how to make a game "fun", they can only make it "competitive".SF6 was huge because it was made to be fun first, so much that most competitors bitch and moan about the mechanics, and Capcom doesn't give a shit.
>>745768031I stuck it in low chance of survival for name recognition alone - which is all these fighting games have going for them rn.
>SF6>fun
>>745764040Brand would have been an obvious fireball spam character.
>>745762286my apologies, I don't go on twitter.
>>745767802Virtua Fighter isn't a strong franchise in the west.Tokon will have a 3 years run easily.
>>745767951anon most fighting games don't even get the same level of activity as rts games
2 X K Ohonestly what were they thinking with this nameI'm not expecting gold (though truly great video game names exist) but this is.... among the worst names I've ever heard.
>>745765456We never doubted him
>>745767239True.
>>745765456How does he keep doing it?
>>745767951Very funny post considering you could take any of one of the numerous popular RTS games and they'd have more players than multiple fighting games put together.
>>745768338Virtua Fighter is still recognizable across the globe and has 5 titles across multiple console generations, plus arcade releases.That plus its very different style of gameplay will make it an easy choice for people burnt out on slime fighter 6>Tokon will have 3 years run easyDon't make me laugh dude. People were immediately tuning out of the tournament stream bc it was so fucking boring
>>745767239The most fun i had in fighting games was playing the top down RPG mode in MK:A i believe and customizing my character and finding new pieces of armor and shit.I want good SP content in fighting games so bad
>>745767239The amount of side content and single player offerings in NRS games are half the reason they have a rep for casual games. Hell SF6's campaign was a great idea and probably helped it get half as much reach as its name. Fighting games do do it, but more wouldn't hurt. RTS sure as hell died because of 1V1 MP only barebones packages.
