Played some Fantasy stroke today for the first time in a year or so. Funnily enough it resets you to the bottom tier of ranked mode if you don't play the game for long enough. Felt like I was smurfing or something, since there are a lot of apparent beginners to fighting games at that level.

Hoping for Happy Chaos because I want to know what they'll do with him, but I'll take Jamuel Kuradoberi.

People in the replies saying Testament and I sure hope not.

In case people weren't aware there was datamined info for the other characters when the game launched and Goldlewis and Jack-O were on the list.

If you're curious, the other 3 were Jam, Happy Chaos, and Asuka (That Man). This sentence also spoilered to add mystery.

That game usually puts you vs bots in the bottom tier of Ranked mode. You gotta move up to start getting put against more actual players.

That makes sense. I do remember there being bots in Bronze when ranked was dead in the pre-F2P days. I'm not 100% sure that I saw any, but they might as well have been bots for how badly some of them played.

Funnily enough while I was winstreaking past Silver I saw players ragequit on me four times in a row.






This game has possibly the lowest baseline level of player skill I've seen in any fighting game that's been out for longer than two weeks. It's really weird. I still haven't lost a ranked match.

Did Fantasy Strike came out on a new platform recently? Because I'm surprised you're finding any matches what so ever.

I've been in contact with the original dataminers and that info now a bit old. It's believed the last 3 chars are baiken, slayer, and happy chaos.

Jam and Asuka don't have anything pointing to playability just that they happen to be in the files. Baiken and slayer have direct win quotes/interactions with the other playable roster as far as data mining goes.

*edit*

Nothing is ever guaranteed though. We will find out soon enough

Same. Although now I’m torn on who I want it to be, because Jam also owns.

I guess Happy Chaos could also hypothetically own.

You know I just peeked at the player numbers on Steam and it is definitely not very populated on PC. It seemed like most of my matches were from Switch players though.

red bull kumite is always kinda silly and "cringe" but I think everyone is in on the joke, it's just weird with no crowd

i kinda missed that vibe tho, online events are boring
