It’s a new game made from the ground up with crossplay, new models, attacks, supers, meter system and defense options.

The other things you mentioned, “positioning, timing and improvisation” are all infinitely more important in every fighting game when compared to combos. Long complex combos don’t matter if you can’t land a hit.

If the only combo you know is a 3-hit combo that does 20% HP, and your opponent has a 15-hit combo that does 70% HP, then you just need to hit the opponent 5 times while avoiding getting hit 2 times. If your spacing, reactions, and adaptation are much better than your opponent’s, you can win consistently.

Of course there’s always gonna be different variables when it comes to stuff like specific game knowledge, but that’s usually not as much a skill issue as it is a knowledge check. In the end, stronger fundamentals will always reward you more in the long-run.

Fantastic game. If anyone is interested, you can download the original concept version of the game that the dev made for a Game Jam. It kinda acts like a free 20 min demo for the full version. You can find the download link here.

I have complete faith that Aka is going shut this ship down pretty quickly next chapter but goddamn doing this cliffhanger and then taking a break is such a troll move.

Any OnK conversation is gonna be insufferable for the next two weeks. This stuff leaked since like Friday and it’s already been awful.

I know it sounds dumb, and it is. It’s just dumb in the best possible way. This manga is just absolutely insane.

It’ll be interesting to see how people react to this series. A ton of people will likely write it off immediately based on the premise alone, but man this series is just so much fun. I hope the anime adapts it well.
