Fantasy Strike - easy to execute fighting game

Yeah what Ulrik said. There were some builds where a “throw button option” was tested, but it was never the default.

Repost of twitch link of decent-level play on FS on the latest build since it got screwed up above for some reason:

Currently normal throws work exactly the same as SF2, with no dedicated whiff animations.

Also, if there’s something you don’t know, don’t assume or make up answers for yourself- Ask away, as some people have access to the latest build and can easily provide answers.

Ah, so it’s changed since what’s listed on the site then?

When the game become available or I muster the drive to become patreon I’m just going to be theory from here. Its still not looking like an appealing thing to me but that ok. IF it accomplishes its goal than bravo to the team. This is their project and I can only hope the best for them and people get an enjoyable product out of it.

I think everything at http://www.fantasystrike.com/ has always been correct, throws have always been towards or away and normal attack button - as per my original post too

The latest Patreon build (not yet on Fig, it should be much improved by the time the Fig build is released) now has a limited version of netplay! I can’t wait to try it tonight

Game Update: July 2017

–Holy cow, there is online play! Right now, it’s just quick match (fight an opponent that our matchmaking system gives you).
–The matchmaking system does take your skill into account, but does not take your connection quality to potential opponents into account yet.
–Online play does use GGPO networking technology, but is unoptimized and might have some disconnects that are our fault. We’re working on it.

Yeah I can’t see this catching on big even if it somehow makes this goal that it really doesn’t look like it’s going to make it.

Definitely would just watch people like this. The simple controls of Rising Thunder already got me not bothering and this is just, I just literally feel it’s there for people who can’t do regular fighting games. I feel games like SFV and KI already do a good enough job making fighting games simple for people while still requiring some dexterity and reactions. Generally still retaining what is a fighting game. This would just feel like the EO mode in CVS2 being made into a full on fighting game for me and that would just carry 0 interest for me.

Eh, the combo difficulty is such a tiny amount of why a game takes off or not as to be insignificant. I’m a big fan of well scaling combo difficulty, but the important things for catching on are install base, looking good, and feeling good.

No half decent fighting game player will enjoy this game for more than two days at the very most. Combos are a huge part of the enjoyment for most mid to high level players. So you essentially lost the hardcores and you most likely won’t get the casuals who only buy fighting games when it comes to the most famous franchises.

No halfway decent fighting game player would ever bother to show up at a con solely to play in a Fantasy Strike tournament.

SamSho? Bushido Blade? Hell, 90% of Kohimie Enbu is close to comboless.

The day one netcode is superb, despite being totally non-optimised and not fully matchmaking yet, I got amazingly playable matches from UK to California - unreal. I’ve never had that in another FG.

Here’s me getting bodied by a great player from Finland and Sirlin himself:

Got you, cool.

There was a discussion on the discord yesterday about the technicalities of this. One of the devs explained it “yes, on f5 of the throw, if the throw whiffed it will go into the appropriate normal move’s animation” ie: a forward or backward normal attack.

[Throwback]

What, I can play online??? That’s awesome.

This game feels amazing, even just playing training mode. So excited to play it against other people!

Jaina F+A to j.B or j.C gives her huge pushback on block and sets up at the perfect j.C distance. Can’t wait to abuse it.

In spite of the rather uninspired robot designs, Rising Thunder had a great feel to it. It felt good to land a juicy hit and dash/jump cancel combos. It had the good animations, decent effects and the right amount of hitstun+hitpause. It was simplified without dumbing down gameplay too much. And the special move variants added an interesting wrinkle to matchups. I look forward to Radiant’s LOL fighter.

This game on the other hand just looks like pure jank. I can’t really judge the gameplay until I actually play it but it seems they’ve gone too far with simplifying things. At least Rising Thunder had 3 normals and 3 specials, overheads, crouching and dashing…

Tomorrow I will be playing a friend so I’ll know for sure then, but having messed around in training mode and watched matches I’m not worried at all. The grab system is unique and all the characters have cool movement options and ways to combine their moves. There seems to be a lot of depth from what i have mucked around with.

I loved Rising Thunder’s system too.

Yep the latest July Patreon build (if you’re still backing on Patreon) has netplay included - see the link above. All Fig backers at the tiers that get it will also get an early-early-access build that will have even better netplay too when Fig concludes.

Hmm, how do I change my name?

[Ulrik]

For netplay? Edit DisplayName.txt
It’s in the same folder as the .exe

Thanks. Unfortunately my install doesn’t have that file, possibly because the only version I’ve ever downloaded is the latest. If it’s a small text file, can you paste the contents so I can make my own?
