Funny how Tokon interest just obliterated itself overnight. Riot must've invoked the darkest of magic to give their game a chance against other tag fighters.
2xko looks fun but i wont be installing (more) spyware on my pc just so i can try it. ill play it if it comes out on console. also fuck 4chan capcha
posting my wife so everytime you open this thread for the next year you will have to see her
>>1960017Have they even marketed it past the original teaser?
>>1960314They had a beta, and it's odd; it's not like reception was good or bad or mixed, people just do not seem to care at all.
Viper soon.>>1960972They didn't put out a lot of codes for the beta and only had six of the reveal's eight characters playable, tells me it'll be a late-2026 title. That said it looks like a genuinely fresh take on tag fighters as opposed to the vast majority being MvC-adjacent (whether that's MvC2/3-style or having some flavor of Active Tag, or both). The movement is very fluid, the combo system is the most reasonable of the "combo limit meter" variants I've seen since meter usage doesn't add to it and assists reduce it, and each character seems to have a strong gameplay identity so far. For as much as I liked DBFZ throughout almost all of its patches, I think Tokon has a stronger basis mechanically.
Traditional Fightan Defense>blockstrings and mixups/crossups>use defensive tools or perceive gaps to escape pressure, but fear frame traps>turtling is intensive and rewarding, but getting hit is a flat punishmentPlatform Fighter Defense>runaway and directional influence>avoid all you can, fuck up combos with DI if you do get hit>game remains always active, but defense before getting hit is a bit shallow/lameIs there any games that would be better to have one instead of the other, or a potential fusion like Yomi Hustle
>>1961222DI in a traditional game would effectively force weight-dependent combos from older anime games into every confirm ever (or turning bad DI into a miniature HnK Basketball combo), though I suppose midscreen option of eating some damage or DI-ing closer to the corner might be something. In effect it'd be like air teching without escaping hitstun, or the MK11 combo breaker in multiple directions minus the armor; perhaps tying that to a resource could make things interesting, but the ENTIRE combo and oki system would likely need to accommodate it.Pretty sure some indie platform fighters have incorporated 2D fighter defense where block direction matters and you can poke holes in offensive strings.
>>1961222I've thought about that kind of thing before. I think it would take a ton of work to tune everything but there's nothing inherently unworkable about DI in traditional games.>>1962227well, the thing people disliked about weight and hitbox specific combos from old games is being forced to learn five different routes to combo the whole cast, and getting way better return on certain characters vs other fucking with matchups. That wouldn't really apply to DI, because every character would use it the same wayBut yeah you'd absolutely need to design the entire combo game around it. I don't think you'd need to go all the way to a smash like thing or some kind of KI hardcoded RPS thing, if I were going to do it it would be kinda like air tech crossed with melty reduce, you hold a direction and tap a button in time with the hit and you wiggle a little in that direction, I think Smash calls that Smash DI if you're moving your character directly rather than just changing the launch angle. In a freeform enough combo system you could account for that on the fly, like it's already pretty common to use different combinations of air normals in an air combo to adjust relative heights, if they're too low you do j.AAAC>dj>j.BC>airthrow instead of j.BC BC etc, and different routes work at different spacings on the ground already so if they're DIing away you can do your long range confirm even if you're close.Traditional hitstun decay and stuff would still work fine to limit combo length even if they DI like crap, but as long as you designed everything well enough and playtested the shit out of it I think it could be really cool.
Ingrid is still going to be a character in sf6 btw, this is not a dream
>>1964086At first I dreaded it but with the new design I have faith they'll salvage her into something actually worthwhile. Better than Karin at least.
>>1964086i cant believe im forced to buy slime sharter 6 just for her next year...

Question in regards to Smash ultimate.Are Phantom Footstools frame 1? I want to check on some Helikick confirms on Brawler but I don't know if I'm being cucked by the 4 frames of invincibility.
>>1980005whats so funny about sussus amogus
blazblue is on steam sale go get it its bestes game ever
>>1982973I'm going to go play bbtag badly. Oh I also already have BBCF
>>1982979bbtag isnt that bad to be honest aside from the dlc jewery
>>1982986I love bbtag. I'm just bad at fighters
i have bbtag in my steam library but never got to play it against a human being what is the meta like
>>1983622Play as RWBY characters or the Senran girl (or Adachi for some reason) and you'll win with little effort. Mori's vision.
>>1984154sounds like asswhy crossover with rwby of all fucking things bbtag could be bb vs gg game or some shit
>>1983622The balance is good enough that you can play anyone without it really feeling bad. Maybe some characters who want some kind of assist synergy might not feel as good, but I can't even think of a single case of that. Even in tourneys the meta characters get btfo'd fine enough. There are standout choices if you just want filler/low effort, but nothing so powerful it fucks up the game. This is coming from a hyper casual for fighters in general>>1984217Daisuke said no to bbXgg
fatal fury 2 is on steam now
>>1985627Real Bout 2 specifically. Love that game, it's my favorite SNK fighter outside of the SamSho series (mostly because I've never "clicked" with KOF). That said, the QoL and playable Alfred aren't quite worth $20 to me compared to Fightcade.
>>1985680why didnt snk do like fighting collection like capcom does? im not paying 20 for one rom
what's with all the smurfs in SF6? i bought the game recently and i've seen at least 5 people these past few days, with hundreds of hours in the game and a bunch of diamond/master characters who are somehow placed in low gold.i thought the game placed you in plat no matter what if your rank is high enough? other than that the game's been fun tho.
>>1985680So what's the spice with Real Bout 2. I tried Real Bout 1 a while back and I found it hard to get into. The lane switching thing seemed cool but I couldn't find my way into the combo system or anything.
>>1990909its more like guys in master ranks trying other characters so they have to start from shitter ranks in their placement matches
>>1960267you cucks are so weird man
