Kiwi makes up for it with insane rushdown even if he can’t fly. The moment your opponent runs out of flight points and has to land, you can just get in there and be all over them. Penguin has trouble catching up even on the ground. Unless you’ve gone and iced up, and it’s hard to find an opportunity to do that.
Out of the non flight birds I think Cassowary is the best though. He might be slow but damn he hits hard.
I’m the lead programmer of this project.
I was seeing the youtube video’s visits and I found this thread. It’s very cool know that some people like the game. We finished the next character, it’s a penguin. We’ll go post the gameplay video #2 with this new character in our site: http://www.bugware.net
I don’t hoping that the people were dreaming with this, but this is so good. =) This dream also is our, then we are together. I called the other members of the team in our google group for post something here in this thread.
I just got the Australian Bird DLC. Been using the Magpie a whole lot recently, no rushdown game, but his zoning is crazy. If you drop your guard at anytime prepare to eat Swoop every single time.
Kookaburra seems good, but his taunt pisses me off, why does everyone online spam that so much? [media=youtube]S0ZbykXlg6Q[/media]
Hi, I’m Yuri, one of the designers of the game, but mostly working with the gameplay fighting system. What you saw there are really air dodges. You can also execute them on the ground, but since you cannot block while on the air, dodging is the only option.
In a nutshell, CF is all about air combat. We have a combo system that only works while in the air; and because all characters are birds, we have a double jump and infinite air dashes.
We’re working on videos and ideas on how to explain the fighting mechanics, as it is an important factor when people consider buying fighting games. But it’s a pretty solid system with simple combos and numerous opportunities for linked combos, and more.
Stay tuned! =)
PS: does the tile of our game get blocked here?? I don’t want to get banned. =P
