It’s so hard to tell how to block in this game. Apparently anything that hits mid you have to block high, but a lot of mid stuff looks like it should be blocked low. Reminds me of my hate for tekken. I’m loving Kang at the moment.
I was telling a friend that this game actually feels like a 3d fighter on a 2d plane.
Offcast had a stream going last night, about an hour of replays are up on his YouTube channel now: YouTube - Offcasts’s Channel
Because it is lol. I think I read some where that they are using MK vs DC engine.
That’s what we are doing. 2v2 but with 4 players. It is such a fun mode.
And yes, it does feel like a 3D game. Almost Tekken/VF in a way.
I wish blood could be turned down or off. It’s really silly when you spend more than 2 minutes in training mode and your character looks like someone dropped a bucket of paint on their head.
You can hit the back/select button to reset training.
I dislike Tekken and kinda lukewarm about VF. For some reason, despite MK feeling similar, I love the game to death. I’m…conflicted.
yeah, im not liking “shadow clone jutsu” at all. because hes almost tailor-made to zone ,his combos suck and are pretty slow. and considering alot of his projectiles are very unsafe he could easily get pressured and beat on pretty hard.
the guy im really liking though is smoke. jabs hit very fast, has the best teleport punch, has the best anti-zone move in the game. like if your strategy is to spam fireballs he will push your shit in. his combos are good to so i think im gonna main him and cage ( also really fast character and cant go wrong with the best x-ray in the game).
Yeah, Im loving stryker and I had no intention of using him seeing as I hate him but his zoning and screen control are so good. I already got 2 ragequits against me for zoning.
Game is dope. Been playing Sonya and Ermac. Like them both I think I’ll pick up Smoke as well.
That new [media=youtube]JMpSxoEIgfQ&feature=channel_video_title"[/media] gave me some new ideas! I feel bad for thinking his combo potential was lacking.
Time to hit training mode.
EDIT: I was thinking of starting a character thread for him here. Is that a bad idea, or…?
Stryker is just okay at zoning. You can easily dash duck his guns and grenades to gain ground. If you want annoying zoning trying Kitana lol
But yeah, Stryker is pretty awesome. I’m going to mess around with him and Ermac to decide my secondary. Maybe Reptile… ugh so many cool characters.
Only played 2 people but it seems the same so far, 1 random and 1 from ny.
This game is absurdly fun. Even my friends who don’t like fighting games love it and been able to get some 4-player action going.
Unfortunately online is so bad IMO that I know i’ll keep bugging them to play, lol.

IMO, his regular costume looks better. They just gave him a shirt 
I’m (obviously) liking Cyrax so far. Quan Chi is pretty fun to play too.
edit: Appears to be CPU AI related
You will have to test against a human. I am getting the sense the auto block is not functioning correctly in training mode, lots of stuff popping up like this.
Go for it if your willing to keep it updated, I say.
