There's an actual arcade version in Japan, I wonder how it handles items.

I was wondering this too and SNK says an arcade patch is coming to consoles next week that adds stick compatibility and the Million Arthur character, so clear that up before I slander the game too much.

I played a few matches online and literally the only thing that differentiates the characters to me right now is the range of their jumping heavy attack and their super move. Once I just stopped using special moves or any combos over like those initial few hits you can easily altogether I was winning consistently because the only thing that matters is landing as many super moves as possible and you can do that more often.

bad fighting games are a tradition for the genre and deserve to be celebrated and played

when people got together irl to play fighters instead of online, bad fighting games were commonly played for fun. I can't imagine anything that would suck the fun out of a game like snk heroines more than not playing it with your crew in person

UNIST is much like Melty Blood in the sense where it has a bunch of bullshit systems with weird names but picking up and playing the game is actually pretty intuitive and everything feels good and snappy.
Also the GRD system mostly rewards whoever happens to be playing the best, so for newcomers you can just boil it down to "if you play better you get this aura and then you can use it up to do a roman cancel"

I hate playing games online in general - this was the first time I played a game online since the week KoF XIV came out - but we played plenty in person yesterday and it wasn't much of an improvement. :D

I mean the game isn't zero fun or anything but we're never going to drop the same amount of fun-with-bad-games-amount-of-time on this like we would with the legendary bad fighting games of yore. But I do like how, contrary to my fears, they actually did remember who the characters are and their special moves have little cartoony effects based on their profiles in the King of Fighters games and stuff.

It's because the story is that they've all been abducted by Kukri and he's forcing them into these battles in skimpy outfits with the victor being able to walk away free from his dungeon. Everybody can unlock their classic outfits and their portrait stops blushing if you use those

You've got cause and effect reversed. The story is that they've all been abducted by Kukri and he's forcing them into these battles in skimpy outfits with the victor being able to walk away free from his dungeon because SNK wanted to give them skimpy outfits and "kyaaa i'm so embarassed" portraits.

I get what you're saying and I'm completely open to being wrong about this game but Heroines is missing so much basic poo poo in the name of "accessibility" that I don't think it even has the potential to be fun in that way, it's just boring, and the decisions they made in the name of casual players are some "indie dev thinks he can Solve Fighting Games" bullshit that you wouldn't expect from SNK of all companies.

I will temper all that by saying my experience is limited to two hours' play on Switch where I already kinda didn't give a gently caress and it ran poorly to boot so I wasn't feeling generous.

If there's anything there, it'll probably come from being able to toss items from different directions, but I really do feel like the potential for goofy bullshit will plateau very quickly.

~As for dreams, she has enough and more to spare~
i saw an item in snk heroines that heavily pixelizes the screen for a little bit, and i guess the intended gameplay function of that would be to pop it and make your mixups unclear, but. there's no crouching. there's no lows. there's no overheads. the only kind of attack you can do besides punching the other lady is a throw, and it doesn't pixelize it to the point where you can't see someone getting close to you. why

I think that article might be reaching a little and Ono's probably not as divorced from fighting games as people think.

I don't think it matters because Capcom's not going to make non-SF fighting games anytime soon anyway.

death is certain
keep yr cool
it means that any fighting games are likely going to be very different or not exist at all.

basically ono probably wont be the one asking people above him to greenlight the budget for a fighting game, it will be the monster hunter dude. if a fighting game gets greenlit, its probably still gonna be made by ono. because of that i imagine the circumstances of what gets greenlit will change.

what it comes down to is probably they want the monster hunter guy in charge because he has a better idea of what actually resonates with consumers and would sell... ono probably approved marvel infinite lol

The point he's making is that there are "bad" games and actually bad games and people are way too uptight about the former.

Capcom really just needs to put their fighting game division on ice for a few years or something, Nobody needs to play SFV now that Namco-Bandai, ArcSys, and even SNK are making nice stuff. SFV is just an unfun money pit but hey maybe the MonHun guy will carry over some of his eternal wisdom and tell them to just make everything free.

Big damage stuff is cool but there's literally no way to mix somebody up. You either block or you throw, so if somebody jumps, you block, because there's no such thing as overheads or lows. It's not fun in the way classically weird am hosed up FGs are fun, it's just toothless and odd.

If a fighting game had characters that feel as varied and unique as the monster hunter weapons I'm in. Granted weapon balance in a pve game is a different beast from fighting game character balance, but just making them fun to play in a vacuum may be enough.
