In this genre you cant design a slow heavy that's still good without the character becoming cancer

To me the appeal of heavies is that theyre slow therefore weaker. The "midtier hero" in me always gravitate towards these characters because I like finding ways to outplay my opponent despite my character moving much slower than the rest of the cast. All of that is completely non-existent in this game.

And that's AFTER a major update. It's touching double-digit playcount during its slowest hours. And since it's 3D, I don't think workshop is going to help all that much.

the game will be fine. i hate this game but its clear the game will pick up traction after it become a complete game with added gametypes, items, story mode, tutorial, characters, and workshop. it only has so little players because the game was released too early and there currently isnt anything to do aside from queue ffa doubles or singles endlessly. that gets boring fast with its small cast and lack of workshop.

balance patch =/= major update. try again in 10 days when DLC 3 comes out.

workshop will explode the game's popularity even more than it did rivals 1 because having official 3D models moving around excites casual players far, far more than little spritework, even if that means there will overall be fewer workshop characters.

They nerfed Kragg's air speed, and he was the only heavy who was truly too fast. If you're getting schmoved on by Loxodont or Etalus, that's on you. They're not even fucking good, every single top tier character is a fast little fuck like Zetterburn, Ranno, Clairen, or Maypul.

It has like half a dozen different engagement bumps in reserve:
>Evo and other major tournaments
>free DLC character every 3 months
>workshop support
>story mode
>side content polled in the player survey
>console port (probably the biggest)
And it has a steady revenue stream thanks to the whales who buy the monthly bundles, tournament skins, etc. The retards who post Steam charts - but especially Steam charts for fighting games - really need to find a different doomposting strategy, because the only thing that's going to even threaten kill the game at this point is a Tekken 8 season 2 tier balance patch. The game is stable right now and it's only going to grow gradually over time.

I've never ever posted steam charts before.
But for a board that constantly makes fun of Rivals / Smash clones and dick sucks Slap City so much, that didn't even do well either.
So according to these guys' logic, this one isn't good either?

Chartposting is inherently retarded and there's nothing to be gained from engaging with it. It's probably the worst cultural practice on /v/ with the exception of schizos getting away with spamming the same fetish threads 10+ times a day.
Slap City is fun. I have no idea why RoA2 produces so much fucking seething.

To be fair, this isn't an issue if you play a fighting game to... fight. I don't boot up Street Fighter 6 and think to myself
>You know what, today I'll treat myself to a little bit of World Tour :)
The developers clearly prioritized releasing a functional fighting game rather than waiting another year to release a game that doubles as both a fighting game and a party game with all the bells and whistles they clearly couldn't afford, like Smash. And for that matter, it's not like Smash side content is worth engaging with either. Melee's adventure, event, and break the target modes were much more enjoyable than what Ultimate had to offer. And don't get me started on Smash Run being stuck on 3DS.

It feels like I am the only one who actually likes this game right now
Every Steam review is mentioning features removed from the original, but I can really only think of Abyss, the ball mode and Workshop. Workshop is coming eventually, and this game focuses on the competitive aspect specifically which it does a fine job at. The game really could've released later so it would have more initial content, but whatever my mains are in.

Slap City has no players because it's a hidden gem that went underappreciated by cattle who refused to play a platform fighter without rosterfaggotry. Its simplistic graphics are soulful.
Rivals of Aether 2 has no players because it's an embarrassing flop that only furries like, and the roster is disappointing because it's too small, too furry, and not furry enough. Its simplistic graphics are indicative that it's cheap crap not worth playing.

Learn the difference, it could save your life. Or, like, $20-30.

Every public forum for discussing RoA2 is a cesspit of midwits who bring out the soapbox every time they lose a match. If it isn't people complaining about the absence of features which are on the development roadmap, it's people complaining that their character is too weak, every other character is too strong, this or that mechanic is imbalanced... and demanding that it should all be patched NOW. That's the issue with a competitive platform fighter that's being actively patched, as opposed to Melee. People just make constant, radical demands on a whim because they think if they're vocal enough, it'll be patched. It's just this constant back-and-forth between obnoxious drama queens who either think characters are literally unbeatable or that the world is ending because their character's air friction got changed by .05 units.
None of this is to say that the game doesn't have issues. I think floorhugging needs another look, the change to Zetterburn's fireball was and still is silly, and they're going to be grappling with balancing his shine forever for that matter.

Still, releasing the game "early" was the correct choice, because it has allowed the developers to get much more meaningful feedback about the game's features, mechanics, and balance.

Surely you're aware that every MTX is purely cosmetic, can be earned with either coins (which you get a billion of by just playing the game) or Aether bucks (which you get more than you know what to do with by, again, just playing the game), and the battle passes just give you shit for free for, again (again), just playing the game.

Even if I hadn't bought one bundle, I already have more skins and palettes than I know what to do with. How does this even impact you?

they literally patched Kragg to be slower a few days ago and he feels like ass to control now. Etalus is only fast when he's sliding on ice and he's making a big commitment to do that. Loxodont feels like a hot air balloon with a good grab attached to it, you have lost your mind if you think he is too fast

It'd definitely be more work than a spritesheet but you could still probably slap a 2d sprite in there as a "3d" model.

People still do it for Brawl and that game is a piece of crap to mod for. So long as there a mere dozen or so of these sort of mod fanatics, that's enough to get normies to buy Rivals 2 for the workshop.

no one cares if every single low effort sprite character mod can't be immediately recreated in rivals 2s workshop. its not a big deal if theres only 32 custom characters instead of 1254. quality over quantity.

Regardless, the weakness of heavies isn't their speed, it's being a big body. The bigger your hurtbox, the easier it is to hit you. The easier it is to hit you, the easier it is to hit kill confirms, combo starters, stray hits in neutral, and edgeguards.

Might as well post some examples of heavies dying for being heavies since I have them. Olympia's crystal dunk is basically a joke move against anyone who isn't Kragg, Loxodont, or Etalus, but it can hit them consistently without risking going low. This barely hit the right side of Kragg''s hurtbox and would have missed on a smaller character, as it usually does.

>>713305974
I don't think he's THAT bad in casual or even semi-competitive play, it's just that he's too big :^) and isn't heavy enough for his size. That and his kill options seem to be sadly limited to setting up off-stage interactions, forcing and punishing defensive errors, and random hard reads. He has a lot of good moves, honestly.

Kragg taking an insane amount of cock for pulling rock against a character who can actually punish rock pull. The nair1 to cover neutral getup would have whiffed on a smaller character, but because Kragg is a fat fuck it forces a reset and he buffers roll in to take additional cock. Mindless punish that would have ended much earlier against any smaller character.

A lot of those mods are pretty ass though with a ton of janky animations and movesets that look out of place and detract from actually playing the game. The most polished characters are from Legacy XP and there's only around 10 of those with a handful of other fairly polished customs that exist outside that modpack. There's also a few characters that are halfway decent but still need quite a bit more work to really make them on par with vanilla PM character, and a lot of these mods have been in the works for years yet very few of them actually get to a state I'd call finished. The rest of the mods that exist are barely playable or half assed backpots from Sm4sh and Ultimate with scuffed animations and character models. Meanwhile, Rivals 1 has well over 100 characters that are polished enough to fit with the base roster with some of those even being higher quality than the vanilla game. Even if the process for workshop modding is guaranteed to be much more streamlined than Brawl modding, 3D animation and modeling are pretty big hurdles to custom characters.

Keep in mind that out of the Top 3 Heavies(Red), 2 are high mobility(DK and Bowser) and the last has speedy attacks, just low mobility(Incineroar). Ridley also has high mobility.
>>713306454
>heavies can be slow, good, and respectable
Much harder to pull off in Smash with the more mobility-focused fighting system.
>the only reason it isnt happened in platform fighters is because nintendo isnt very good at balancing heavies, as a result of that you all think its impossible to do it
The balancing team is a fighting game team, you know that right? Namco.

And Loxodont is comically easy to edgeguard depending on the MU and whether he chooses to go high or low

>>713306454
Maybe, but I'm not convinced. Being slow ultimately just cuts off your access to too many options in every game state: neutral, advantage, and disadvantage. And platform fighters seem to have an issue with giving heavy characters compensatory attributes or options that counteract this effect. I am glad that they nerfed Kragg's air speed, however.
As the anon above me said, it's hard to do when movement is at the core of the game. If I were to really play devil's advocate, I'd argue that heavies can be fast and inherently have less freedom of movement than other characters.

Sakurai straight up designed him as a Heavy Swordsman first, Ike the FE character second, so he ought to count.
That being said, if 107 weight Ike count, I don't see why 106 weight Snake, Banjo and R.O.B. wouldn't, even if I do think they would be in the 'in name only' category.
The most reasonable cutoff is at Piranha Plant as the lightest heavy.

Nope. Absa's out in 10 days, and then the most likely next character is Master Cai (the crocodile with a bo staff), with a reskin of Merchant Port as his stage. The concept art for the stage was seen in the development roadmap, and he'd likely be a disjoint character, which fills out an archetype currently occupied mostly by Clairen and Forsburn.

La Reina is also relatively soon and is an earth element character, which leaves air as the only element with 3 characters (including Absa). So it's a toss-up whether the snake or the ant is after whoever's next. None of this is concrete, but it's just a rational guess based on what we know.

I guarantee RoA2 is going to have more entrants than some mainstage games, and not just Mortal Kombat. It put up pretty respectable numbers at CEO and Combo Breaker. That said, wanking the game over engagement metrics is gay as fuck. I'm happy as long as I can find lots of people to play with, which is the case for now.

Most heavies suffer more than twice the damage from combos, and they don't live twice as long even without.
They also overwhelmingly have abusable recoveries.

bro is acting like heavies being ass in Ultimate is some hot take. they're walking combo food with giant hitboxes and half the mobility of a baked potato. every time a heavy wins it's either a highlight reel or a goddamn miracle. the only thing they consistently kill is the vibe when someone picks Ganondorf in doubles.

There's really not enough "cool" skins. I'd like to see more stuff in the vein of:
>Olympia with a full gi
>Wrastor with an aviator's bomber jacket
>pre-exile Forsburn
That one event with robo-Loxodont was a step in the right direction, but we're right back to the meme skins that feel like they're from League of Legends or something. I wouldn't mind more alternate species skins either.

That's true, though. Nothing impactful costs money.

It's better now. You'd know that if you didn't refund it on release. Stay ignorant.

Things that feel like they should be safe aren't, and I can't be bothered looking up how landing lag and shield lag is different to work out how I should be playing differently, so I stopped playing pretty quickly. I might have stuck with it if the game looked like it was going to have a healthy community long term, but the community started out small and I figured it was only going to get smaller as time went on, so probably not worth my time there either unless I really felt like slumming it out with a tiny group of other sweats who won't let go. Only if the game had really clicked with me would I have decided to invest into it more

How is that insane? You're comparing an indie team with a handful of games under their belt vs a corporation with 30+ years of experience and resources. Of course the Capcom is going to have a stronger sense of style and higher standards.

do these platform fighter games really sell well enough to justify making so many? so far as i can see they peak with a few thousand then just flatline in a few months over and over

I think a lot of devs are just mad at nintendo and almost no other studios capitalizing on the genre, plus there being so few platform fighters until like the late 2010s probably helped
