• Since most of the posts on this sub have either been completely just blind rants i decided to write something coherent and either see if I get down voted to all hell or actually get some constructive responses instead of just fighting games vets talking out the sides of their necks.

• My current feelings about this game are mixed because while i enjoy the game (which I've tried to tell some of these morons but they still make it seem as if I don't and I'm just gonna drop the game after awhile which idk why tf i would do that after i spent 50 dollars of my earned bucks of something i was interested in)

• There's obviously a lotta or a couple issues with the game that can't be ignored when it comes to balancing and some characters being far overtuned than others

• Take note if you comment some ol' bullshit that even seems like your saying skill issue I'm not responding because your part of what's wrong with this community and fighting games as a genre.

• The Criticisms I do have •

- The Assists are in a little bit of an odd spot for me, where it can be fine in some places, some of the things assists seem a bit silly.

- Take Atom Eve, Powerplex and Ella Mental (Maybe even Cecil but I'll get on that later) they have backwards assist inputs that allow them to use their projectiles which I don't mind but they used the boosted version at no cost which I think is a little dumb

- Most people I've seen with an atom eve on their team don't even actually use eve and just spam the wall bounce projectile she has on assist

- The same with Poweplex happens but his projectile is a bit more forgiving but you it hits you for a little bit more damage compared to Ella or Eve

- Ella Mental on the other hand has one of the most bullshit projectiles (IN MY OPINION) Because this projectile when boosted hits you multiple times, putting you in a position that leads to a mix up.

- The Cooldowns are extremely short which I'm not sure how to feel about it cause on one hand i understand but at the same time it makes block pressuring like riding a bike for anybody.

- Super Meter in this game is another thing I'm not sure about because the amount you gain is actually crazy, allowing you to continue damage with active tags when you have another bar of super

- What i wish they did with this mechanic is allow some of the defensive options to be used instead of boost bars, that's the only thing i dislike about super meter is just it never being used outside of supers like some other fighters.

- Another thing is sometimes heroic strike just feels like a waste sometimes especially if you by some grace whiff the input, i wish you could follow up after a heroic strike but y'know i guess it's supposed to not be like that

- Assist Breaking feels more detrimental than life saving as your sacrifice boost meter and 50% of the assist help that you called in for that

- I remember seeing a clip too where a dude tried to whiff punish and for some reason Conquest still had his armor 💔

- Overall i like the game but it's a lil janked sometimes and i frankly do not like the people it attracts neither but hey what do you think what criticisms do you have (and please don't let it be about rage quitting I've seen enough and I'm not tryna hear that, cause mfs act like they've never met a ragequitter before)

​

No seriously

Why are most of the people I've interacted with on this sub just blatantly condescending and toxic?

I'm genuinely starting to believe that most of these people aren't even invincible watchers or fans their straight up just fighting game vets migrating to the next game only to end up either dropping it or going back to what they were already playing.

I get having a grudge against ragequiting but it gets to a point where you go from being frustrated to just down right venomous because a dude doesn't wanna stay in a match with you

Hot Take;

But i think if a dude ragequits that fast against you or at all that says a lot about you just as much as it does them, some of y'all actually be sweating so hard in a game that takes a grain of critical thinking.

I'm gonna go ahead and use this post to go ahead and say what is up with this subreddit?

• For starters, I'm beginning to think this subreddit is the last place you should go for any advice because most people will just tell you to play the tutorial or lab, which in truth yea you have to do that with any fighting game but on top of that i don't think these same people wanna acknowledge the elephant in the room.

• This game is unbalanced and you could argue the game just came out but how does a game get launched in such a state that Conquest had an infinite that wasn't patched out until like recently.

• Take [TITLE CARD] INVINCIBLE For example, he is one of the most over-tuned and unbalanced characters in the game right now, every sweaty cornball will usually be playing invincible for about two or three key reasons i can note

• NUMBER 1; Easiest Character in the game that has a kit that you couldn't possibly do anything wrong with

• NUMBER 2; He has an Overhead that can be combo'd into my next reason

• NUMBER 3; His medium low, which is a slide that has more reach than a light attack and on top of that his special moves are so easy to abuse

• If i am feeling an absolute dread Everytime i see an Invincible in my match ups then you know he's bad, everyone plays him either their a larper or picked him because he's easy.

• Then we got Anissa, While a grounded character overall, she has by far the worst low in the game when it comes to range with several other characters having slide kicks or be like ATOM EVE who has a literal rolling PROJECTILE for a low

• On top of that she has no overheads, so you can about like two options which most of the characters, either you throw a Low to potentially throw off the opponent or you go for a Throw because most attacks in this game do not have anyway to punish a guy low blocking

----

• Now lets talk about the obvious differences between a lot of the characters who are extremely busted or just not worth playing

• I'll start with the biggest Outlier.

• MONSTER GIRL •

Pros

- Has a lot of moves with armor allowing her to not be interrupted frequently unless the armor is broken

- Her supers are pretty strong damage wise i can't exactly tell if characters do different damage or take different damage (which I'll get into)

Cons

- Has the worst dash out of any character , so instead of dashing to start doing a light combo or anything else, you do your air attacks, making you punishable.

- Cannot wave dash either

- Takes up half the screen (which is irrelevant but I'm still including it)

- Monster Girl is the least played character in the entire game and seeing one is extremely rare.

- Now lets start with;

• LUCAN •

Pros

- A move where he can belly flop on you, which means the hotbox of the move is his entire body, this move is also barely punishable

- If I'm correct he also has a grab that breaks through block but i might be wrong, it's the only grab that can't seem to combo with anything and usually is a starter hit? The one where he breaks your back

- A grappler with the ability to hover

- Lengths better than monster girl because he's a viltrumite, meaning he chain boosted air dashes

Cons

- Cannot dash on the ground

- Doesn't really have much to talk about outside of the hover, belly flop and the grabs.

So this right here. . .

• Is what i think about these two, their both grapplers but one excels at it better than the other.

• Some characters feel godlike to play, others feel like your playing handicapped.

• The biggest outliers for being extremely overtuned is;

- Invincible

- Atom Eve

- Battle Beast

- Titan

- Conquest

- Cecil (but then again if your losing to a zoning PlayStyle i think that's on you)

- Rex

• Another thing i do not like is the defense options because push block gets used not much by anybody unless your in the corner, Active Tags and Counter Tags and Feints are a complete mind game to deal with which decides whether or not you're gonna lose a good chunk of your health bar.

• Other characters are completely MID or just downright feel as useful as Vidor on thraxa or Oli****ver during the first battle with thragg.

- I use this post as a way to simply just address the problems in this game becaus people would rather call your complaints skill issues, glaze the game and then ignore it's problems and most of the playerbase are either new gens, invincible fans or fighting game veteran migrates who jump from game to game when the last one they played got boring.

- I'm not expecting the game to be perfect, but I'm not gonna blindly say this game is good either and ignore the complete and utter bullshittery that happens in the gameplay that makes people either feel like they couldn't do anything or absolutely cheated

• but i have one more mini elephant to address.

Is it just me or does it seem like Dupli-Kate takes more damage or than any other character? Or is the damage just that high?

• But please let me know below what criticisms you have of the game and your opinions I'll either read or them or not be able to because I'm not on reddit 24/7 like (SOME) individuals

​

• I was lowkey thinking about this for a bit and came to the conclusion, hey wouldn't it be cool if they added Donald to the game, i mean if Cecil can make the roster I don't see why Donald couldn't

• So here's a unique take on what i think Donald's Specials and Supers would be like;

• DONALD FERGUSON •

(Disclaimer: I tried my best to utilize anything Donald had done both in the comics and in the show, any criticisms or ideas i would love to hear)

- Striker/Rushdown

• Unique Traits;

- Donald given the rockets in his legs allow him to air dash and similarly to other flying type fighters can do boosted dashes in the air

- A little obscure fact but i imagine if Donald were added as he's damage the android endoskeleton underneath his skin slowly begins to be revealed.

• Forward Special; GDA Soldier; Rocket

- Fires a rocket that sends the opponent flying upon contact with them

- The Boosted Variant allows Donald to wall bounce the opponent

• Back Special; Kinetic Forcefield

- Donald calls a GDA Soldier to put up a kinetic shield in front of him absorbing any projectiles that try to hit Donald

- The Boosted Variant allows him to deflect the projectiles back at the opponent or if let go instantly will let Donald instantly send the opponent airborne

• Down Special; Body Spin

- Allows Donald to spin his body in a 360 degree angle repeatedly hitting the opponent

- The Boosted Variant will spin while walking forward extending the move and then overheads the opponent ground bouncing them

• SUPER 1; Firing Squad

"Open Fire!"

- Donald signals a GDA firing squad to do rapid damage at the opponent from range, if the player presses the analog stick upwards the firing squad launches the opponent into the armir with their firing.

• SUPER 2; GDA Brutality

"I'll show you what i am."

- Donald repeatedly beats down on the opponent before grabbing them with both hands and shocking them with electrical energy

• ULTIMATE; AN HONOR

"It's been an honor working with you sir.."

- Donald activates a self destruction sequence and beats down the opponent before latching onto them and exploding himself along with the Opponent

- When Donald does this there's a chance he'll survive the blast but be left with little health but most likely will die along with the opponent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• This is just my idea of something for Donald, I'd love to hear any ideas for him or even what you would change about him!

Since nobody really likes the idea of guest fighters coming to this game This'll be the second post and the last post I'll be doing talking about this and this is a Guest Fighter i don't think anyone on this sub reddit can disagree with me on

So ladies and gentleman i would like to write a letter to Robert Kirkman himself.

Dear Robert Kirkman,

Add Rick Grimes Pretty Please.
