This game is pretty good. The community is way better than Sm4sh and Melee's, is a better game than Brawlout and Brawlhalla, good music and you can make custom colour sets. It's also good as a competitive game.

there's a demo?

>>388035890
On Xbox One you can play it for 30 minutes before greeted with a pay wall.

Why the fuck cant I use Ori in abyss mode?

>>388035723
Its an amazing game,but not really that good for casual in my opinion .More geared towards competitive.

>>388035723
I was really hype for it, have had it for a few months in early access, but I can't get into it. I can't even put my finger on why.

It's good on paper. I like the characters and the gameplay is fun enough, but the game is never as fun as I think it's going to be. It never feels satisfying to do things in this game.

Plus it really bothers me how there's no shield, just rolls and dodges

>>388035723
I'll buy it today on Xbone before the playerbase dies.

Will they add an arcade mode separate from the story mode?

>>388037392
I think I have the same issue as you. I'll play it for a bit and then go back to Melee because Rivals isn't as satisfying. That said it isn't a bad game at all.

>>388036581
They haven't made the ability modifiers for Ori. Who knows if they will ever will.

>>388035723
the tower of heaven remix is fucking great

Is it just me or do normals feels stubby?

>>388035723
My problem with it is that it tries to be casual but still competitive without making too much of a push in either direction. There isn't nearly enough depth to the game for competitive players to stick with it and it's too hard to casuals to play. It also has no real character. Why play as random bird when you can play as Mario? None of the characters, even with their "stories" feel like characters with anything behind them.

>>388038759
Story mode was a pretty big dud I agree, especially with all that set up.

>>388038759
What else could they do to help give more casual content?

Etalus' air grab is the most satisfying shit ever.

>>388039648
fat titty bitches

>>388039648
It's not adding casual content that's the problem. The game itself is too difficult for casual players to get into.

>>388039648
Add more to Abyss mode. Crazier stages.

>>388040012
It's the only smash game my normie friends like to play.

Just learned about this game today and grabbed it. Really enjoying the movesets for each character. They are all unique and take full advantage of smash's movement (which is the best part of those games imo). For example the beetle man's up-special and the bird's jet stream make you think about edgeguarding and spacing in more interesting ways than just spamming projectiles

Melee is my favorite smash by far, but I never really got into the competitive scene because it seemed like a stupid way to spend my time. This is a no-brainer for anyone in a similar boat

>>388040195
Really? For my friends + numerous other players can't get into it. And the ones that can think it's way too boring.

>>388039648
items

what's with all these furshit smash clones

>>388040329
I don't get it either, one of them claims to hate the main games.

>>388040706
It's easier to design would be my guess. Lazy but it works.

>>388038943
Hopefully they add an adventure/sse mode somewhere down the line. But for what it is, the story mode is a fun extended tutorial with some charming flavor text, can't bash it too hard

>>388035723
Played it. Game is boring, fempie.
Refunded.

>>388040012
I don't find it particularly tough to play. It takes a bit of time to get used to but I find it much easier to get into compared to something like Melee.

>>388041067
I felt like they could.have used abyss mode challenges as special rules instead of just basic fights. A little more story would be appreciated too.

>ori costs 5 fucking dollars
Dropped

>>388040706
Didn't furries get attracted to smash through characters like Fox and Lucario? Seems like the go-to genre for them now other than Sonic-alikes and platformers.

Game feels stiff as fuck. Doing combos is neat, but outside of combos the game slowly puts me to sleep. Shit game.

>>388040204
Some of the movesets are too similar to existing Smash characters, such as Zetterburn being 99% Wolf. But I love the idea that every character has some form of stage control.

the no 4 player free for all mode really killed this game for me. I have a lot of friends who are into smash and smashclones but we prefer the hectic free for alls

>>388035723
I've been playing it for a long time already. The game is surprisingly good and the controls are tight. The removal of grabs, shields, and edge grabbing make the game more focused on movement and combos than your traditional platform fighting game

>>388041839
You're right about Zetterburn, but as far as I can tell he's the only straight copy. The other characters have a decent mix of smash-like moves and their own gimmicks. I wish there was a character like Orcane in smash, the teleporting mechanic is great

>>388035876
To expand on this guys point. The community for this game is super helpful. The Discord Server for the game has all the pros in it and a lot of useful tech and advice. You can get a mentor there to help you get better at a character. Also when you play online it actually feels like people are trying to help each other get better instead of just stomping on you if you're the worse player

When is Ranno coming?

>>388035723
>This game got out of Early Access today.

What? It's been out of EA for a good while now.

I'm top 500 for Absa in Abyss mode if that counts

ez

Abyss mode is so disappointing, I'm always for more single player or co-op modes, but you have to earn so much currency to get the character upgrade slots. Plus, when it's always the same challenges in the exact same order every time, it's hard to get invested in it when it's simply no more than an endless grind

>>388044483
Man. You can just edit the text file in the install path and unlock everything for yourself even custom color 2

>>388045341
Will they auto ban you from online if you do that?

>>388045396
No I've been playing online with it. I'm sure it's there so tourney organizers can unlock everything easily for everyone

>>388045341
Yes, I know you can cheat in almost any game. If you have to cheat to make it fun, it's poor design

>>388045819
It's not cheating? It's literally unlocking cosmetics. You still have to learn to play the game. I mean you can unlock the abyss mode power ups but does anyone play that mode even?

I'm going to buy it solely because there's a playable frog. I don't know jack shit about it aside from that.
More games need playable frogs.

>>388045951
I was complaining about abyss mode specifically, but thanks for being an obnoxious prick about it without reading the posts

>>388035723

the graphics and sound design turn me off

>>388046124
Damn you're a delicate little flower. No one was being a prick to you I was literally replying to your post. I'm sorry little guy. Is this tone better for you? Hmm? I'll put on the kiddie gloves for you.

>>388043217
This. By far the best design in the game and they aren't even playable yet.

Awesomenauts has 2 frogs

I'm surprised by all the good opinions on the game and even the fanbase when this suppose to attract the furries. And 4chan hates furries

>>388046618
Furries don't like games that take time to learn well. This is really just people who wanted a different alternative to Smash in the platform fighters genre. The community is really into the numbers behind the game

>>388046618
Honestly in my opinion, this looks like it has a lot more effort put into then most of the other Smash clones.

>>388046742
That's not true. This game is 100% furry bait. The character roster is literally fursonas.

>>388047000
I personally have not seen one furry online or in the Discord even. You can always tell furies by their screennames

>>388047000
And that's a problem why?

>>388037392
It feels unfinished. No shield, no grab, no edge grab just feels bad. Also there's loads of fast character but nothing to replace my Jiggly or Ganon.

>>388046037
frog just got announced and probably wont be released for at least a couple months, sorry to burst your bubble dude

that said it is fun af, as a fan of smashlikes i enjoy it a lot. i would absolutely get it now while it's on sale

>>388046037
Wait, which character is a frog?

>>388047000
So they're all just going to be generic human characters? I don't understand people like you honestly. Anything with animals is furry bait to you guys.

The promise of a playable frog eventually is good enough, to be honest.

ONE JOB

How do I stop being bad?

>>388047323
>Nothing to replace Ganon
>Etalus
???

>>388047938
He plays nothing like Ganon, Ganon was so smooth to control and this fucking bear is just garbage.

>>388047661
>no argument
damage control? I honestly don't give a fuck about them. They can yiff in hell but you people are retarded for screaming "REEEEEEEEE FURRYBAIT REEEEEEEEE" everytime you see and animal in a game.

Is it me or are the edges really close in compared to smash?

>>388048637
There are no ledges. Idk why a game would look to take away depth but whatever.

>>388048190
clearly Lylat wars was furbait? BANJO KAZOOIE? furbait? conkera bad furday? well, its basically right there in the title. don't get me started on Altered beast.....

>>388048745
edges, not ledges. i meant the death zones.

>>388042315
There are no free for alls? Man that sucks. It's usually the funnest way for me to play. Oh well, I'm still getting it purely because Ori is in it now.

>>388042315
>>388050298
Don't believe that anon he doesn't know what he is talking about. I play 4 player FFA all the time with buddies.

>>388045543
That's what tourney mode in the settings are for.

>>388050536
Does Tournament mode work for the DLC characters as well?

Don't hate on the bear you slut.

>>388050815
The combos look so cool. It's too bad outside of combos, the game is complete shit.

>>388050641
It unlocks all free stages and characters.

>>388051043
Whats so bad about it?

>>388051186
movement sucks dick. Making it the worse smash clone.

>>388046037
Brawlout is also a smash clone with a frog, too bad it just went off sale

>>388035876
>>388043107
Doods, if you wanna shill your game just be upfront about it. No one's gonna get angry.

>>388051428
While it's definitely not the strongest feature, I haven't really heard or experienced tons of problems with it. What's so terrible about it?

>>388051626
>No one's gonna get angry.
First day here?

>>388051626
>Anytime someone posts something positive about a game it's considered shilling.
Can this meme die already?

>the obvious shilling in this thread

It's 2 people in here talking about how "great" the game is. The reality is, this game sucks ass.

Is it just me, or does the game feel really shallow? I played the beta awhile back and never touched the game again and I realize that it's because it's lack of defensive options. It feels like once somebody has the offensive, you're fucked and you can't do much about it other than counter which is way less reliable than a regular shield. I liked what they tried to do, but the game ends up being too offensive and feels to have just as much depth as Sm4sh. It's a shame cause I really like the new characters like Orca, Maypul, and Forsburn plus the new frog character.

What controller is it made to be played on? Gamecube?

What about a frog that says "Feels good man" and "Feels bad man"

>>388051985
Nice opinions man, I really like how you backed up your points with logic and reasoning.

>>388052049
Anything with two sticks. A lot of crossover from smash community uses GC controllers though.
