So, I had thought this game had gotten enough buzz that a decent amount of people would be playing. Was I mistaken? Because I picked the game up today and so far I've been in like 5 matches, only 2 have been against dudes in the Carbon tier (against 1 silver and 2 legends) with an average wait time of like 5 minutes per match.

Also holy poo poo it feels like every time I make a bad read my opponent rattles off a 7+ hit combo for a third of my health.

The game's been in "alpha" for months. Of course interest would severely drop off with games coming out in Fall and actual SF having playable online. They should've released the game in at least early access on steam by now.

it doesn't really matter what they do, anyway, because RT is just a lovely alpha/tech demo of ggpo3 they threw together so they can attract an angel investor, cash out and be done with it.

I wonder if they'll actually make a League of Legends fighting game.

I think it's pretty loving hilarious. Not only was he right he was spot on.

So was this really not a passion project? I thought the guys behind it would push super hard to keep it going but welp.

RIP Rising Thunder, you had some neat ideas but your characters were boring and I never had a single smooth match.

The Rising Thunder idea I liked most was the one where you pressed a button to cancel your move and then dash forward immediately at the cost of half your meter

I liked the Greek robot man. He had a special kick that was called Spartan Kick and it was like that movie where the Spartan guy kicked the guy from Spartacus.

Does anyone have that one reddit post where a guy said that in Rising Thunder he was equal to Umehara Daigo thanks to no finger puzzle combos
