Mechanics
  • Percent mechanic (More you get hit, farther you launch)
  • Normal and special attacks, with "strong" or smash attacks.
  • Familiar character types with unique move sets to set them apart
  • Removal of grabs and shield, replaced by parrying.
  • Parry and attack and your opponent is stunned, allowing you to follow up with a punish.
  • VERY combo heavy, easy to pick up yet hard to master
  • No ledges, every character has a fairly good recover move and a wall jump
  • Early alpha, yet still very fun to play with a dedicated online mode
  • Teching, aka parrying when you hit the ground off of hitstun in order to recover faster

and also shoots some stank ass bubbles i dunno man
he's jacked as hell though

i don't even own this game and i already know i'm maining the giant beetle that throws rocks

kragg's design is great but like forget

forget these names are AWFUL

like im sure the game is great the mechanics are novel and the character designs are average at worst and i appreciate that all the developers have roots in the fgc but forget

forget THAT GUY'S NAME IS forgetIN "MAYPUL" LIKE THE PHONETIC PRONUNCIATION OF "MAPLE"

im sure they had more things to worry about in development then making their characters names memorable or clever but forget

where the game lacks in creative nicknames, it makes up for with creative mechanics
forgetin' maypul i swear


this will be my main

*mix of barking and dolphin noises*

honestly i think orcane is the most fun character to play, quick and satisfying attacks and great recovery
maypul is kinda like that but i can't get a hang of her recovery

you guys should post your info so i can add you to OP


i've been following this for a while
i plan to buy it with my birthday money (if i get any)
then i'll beat y'all asses as... uh...
i have no clue who to main yet ;)


i'm gonna stream a bit of the online play this week, probably near the weekend
maybe make a forsburn guide if i feel like it

Bump, wrastor is quickly becoming my favorite char
kragg quickly becoming the worst to play against
