Okay but Icons was straight up trying to be Melee and the characters were expys. RushRev went in a bold new direction and re-re-redesigned the movesets. So it is the appropriate reference if the Slippi dev wants his game to completely supplant Melee.
Side note: I loved how chaotic and aimless RushRev's updates were. There would always be several surprise reworks or added functions every couple months. But this guy wants the complete opposite. "We're never going to update our characters! Huzzah!" This mindset is what happens when you have no experience balancing a competitive game + you worship a game that is not a fucking broken mess by sheer luck. Imagine how he'd react to a wave of negative Steam reviews after a Genesis top 8 is all one character.
If Fluid Games' untitled project is the next Icons: Combat Arena, then Combo Devils is the next Rushdown Revolt! Exciting times for a platform fighter fan.
