Why don't you like fightan games, sempai? They're fun and deep.

man that kinda stinks, now I won't be able to find people because they're too anxious and scared to matchmake normally

>>719674462
the P2P thing is just for public and private lobbies, it doesn't affect matchmaking at all

>>719674106
Yeah but if you like playing singleplayer games where you lose to a boss a bunch whats the difference between that and fighting a challenging opponent online?

>>719674740
The singleplayer boss doesn't have lag, isn't an actual person talking shit to you and has the patience for infinite rematches.

>>719673718
Powerful...

I'd let her Up B me at 50% and kill me off the top from a confirmed low risk down tilt combo.

Because the boss doesn't teabag me after a whiff punish and then disconnect when I finally start winning. There's a purity to a scripted dude in armor slapping me with a lance-no salt, no ego, just pain.

Isn’t P2P infamously dogshit? Nintendo uses it for all of their online connections and all I hear is about fervent disconnects and unbearable lag

>>719683523
yes, but lets say, the official servers aren't around anymore. In that case the game can still be played online

Fuck is this nigga talking about

>>719682956
I don't know what the fuck a "popfur" is.

My understanding is that Dan always wanted to make a platform fighter, and the characters ended up as animals because 1.) it's easy and Dan isn't exceptionally creative and 2.) it let him turn Vaporeon into Orcane without too much thought. A lot of the original art for the original RoA is distinctly not furry, not to mention fucking ugly. Orcane looked like a buff fish that eats children. Absa looked like a thing that comes out of the woods to abduct them. It became way more furry over time because the designs got more refined and marketable.

I will say that Dan is based for turning his human wife into a retarded, feral raccoon that doesn't wear clothes for... some reason. And also maining her.

>>719683269
I recognise you child. Glad you live peacefully in Petit Mona after defeating the Tarascus.

>>719682956
>popfurs
Are we supposed to know what this means??

>>719683523
Nah, or at least, it generally won't matter under these circumstances. P2P/Listen Servers just means that hosting duties are handed off to the players instead of a neutral server, and it feels less reliable because the average player often isn't set up to have the most reliable hosting connection like a dedicated server would. This isn't as much of a concern for fighting games though because
1) You generally only have 2-4 people instead of an 8-24 player lobby
2) Netcode for other games usually runs off the logic of "whatever the server thinks is the truth will be the truth," so a laggy host causes a lot of lag and rubberbanding as the connected players are constantly "corrected" to whatever the hosting player's server figures out, whereas Fighting Game Netcode usually double checks with both players on what the game state should have been before continuing (or will roll back the game state to correct that mistake)

>>719695654
Heavyweight characters being overpowered in this game is a serious concern.

>>719696010
they’ve confirmed that they won’t be doing any guests in the roster, but that they will be sourcing characters for legendary skins from outside of the franchise. echo fighters basically

>>719696049
The heavies arent OP. The problem is theres SO FUCKING MANY OF THEM AND THERES 2 MORE OF THEM ON THE FUCKING WAY. They are CLEARLY characters people don't want. There are literal thousands of people waiting for an interesting character to come to rivals 2 so they can justify buying it and heavies are NOT it.

>>719696049
Also the heavies are fucking boring to play against. It's too easy to gimp (excluding kragg) and combo them. The last thing this game needs is another heavy, and we're getting 2 more of them soon

>>719696172
Heavyweights hit hard and are too fast for their class, therefore, overpowered.
also hard to kill

>>719696312
i 100% agree with you then. I actually like heavies when they function like heavies, but they don't in this game. This game fixes what WASN'T broken. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with heavies just because theyre all low tier in smash bros. That is a SMASH problem, not a heavy problem

>>719696049
I'll eat my hat if Stang0's Loxodont wins Riptide this weekend, but heavies aren't overpowered at all. They're balanced the way that heavy characters should be: their weight is both a boon and a liability. When I play heavies, I don't care that I'm taking a fat 80% worth of cock at the beginning of every stock, because I'm a big fucking character with a big fucking hurtbox. While having a big hurtbox mean that my opponents have an easier time hitting, combo'ing, and confirming kills on me, it also means that I can actually threaten them by relying on range instead of spastic speed.

Playing against heavies is fun and I don't really get the hate. If you can't kill heavies, it's a skill issue. Just fucking edgeguard them. Yes, even Kragg. You should always be edgeguarding Kragg, pillar isn't as good as people think it is unless you're hugging the wall like Zeebee.

>>719696489
Heavies are supposed to move slow.

Ultimate has 88 characters (Wow, that's a lot of characters)
>Donkey Kong
29th fastest, also has good air speed
>Bowser
22nd fastest, also has decent air speed
>Snake
Tied for 61st fastest
>Charizard
Tied for 10th fastest with Ridley, although Ridley is more of a midweight with a big hurtbox; notably, Ridley has better air speed than Charizard
>Dr. Mario
A midweight, and 81st because he's a slow piece of shit, which leaves
>Ike
>Dedede
>K. Rool
>Ganondorf
>Incineroar
as the actual slow heavies, and arguably the worst characters in the game. Notably, Robin is also this slow. But then... where are all the Bowser, Donkey Kong, Charizard, and Ridley players ruining the game in casual or competitive play? How is slow heavies being the worst characters in the game not "broken", especially when fast heavies like DK and Bowser aren't even very viable? They're B tier characters at best. For that matter, here's a short list of characters that are slower than the 4 fastest heavies in Ultimate:
>Pit, Mario, Bayonetta, Squirtle, Young Link, Lucario, Wolf

I don't even know why I'm trying to talk to you. You don't even know what you're talking about. It seems like you simply have an autistic fixation on hating heavies, have arrived at a preconceived conclusion that heavies being bad is actually good, and will ignore any information that contradicts this.

>>719697110
>yeah but what about what smash does
Smash clearly didn't handle heavies correctly and fighting games do. Potemkin and Zangief should be your inspiration for creating an actual heavy thats fun to play as, not smash characters

>>719697110
It takes just one match against a kragg to notice how heavyweights are busted in this game

>>719697272
Sorry, I replied to the wrong post, it was meant for >>719696403, but anyways
>Potemkin
>Zangief
As someone who loves these characters, heavies and specifically grapplers function differently in 2D fighters because you can actually control space to achieve their win condition. There's a finite amount of stage before your opponent is cornered and forced to choose risky options that give you an opportunity to get SPD.

Platformer fighters are fundamentally about movement, and any character that cannot move well will perish. Dr. Mario and Robin are both midweight characters, but they're terrible because they're slow. But players like Leaf can at least make Robin function because he has options that can control space, mitigating the need for movement. Arcfire is good. Arcthunder is good. Big, slow, lingering hitboxes that, just like walking your opponent into the corner, force them to jump into Robin's amazing Levin sword aerials - instead of Zangief's aerial SPD, for example. Dr. Mario has nothing. Ganondorf has nothing. Dedede and K. Rool at least have excellent lingering projectiles, although they're not enough to save them from being shit.

tl;dr if you take away movement from a character in a platform fighter, you need to give them something that forces their opponent to move instead. RoA2's heavies are well-designed because they understand this concept.
>Kragg has rock and big burst options
>Loxodont has huge, disjointed hitboxes, but mediocre ground speed and terrible air speed
>Galvan will have 3 Falco dair hitboxes casually hovering around the stage
And notably, Galvan's going to be the slowest character of all. His recovery is fucking pathetically shit.

>>719697319
>It takes just one match
no shit
not because Kragg is broken, but because you get scrubkilled by a scrubkiller character. it's like complaining about K. Rool in Ultimate because you don't know how to deal with crown.

every aspect of kragg has active counterplay like every other character. take his recovery, specifically pillar, as an example:
first off, you should always challenge Kragg's recovery. no matter who you're playing, the correct option is to challenge Kragg's recovery and force him to use pillar in a suboptimal position.
>Ranno
has low air speed, so if Kragg is too far offstage he needs to threaten to break it with needles before beginning to edgeguard. if he's closer to the wall, he can drop down with any aerial to cover the up / side special 50/50 easily.
>Olympia
either directly edgeguard Kragg or use gem to extend your edgeguard. cover low recoveries by predicting and landing on pillar with an aerial or tomahawk grab.
>Maypul
sneed.
>Clairen
even a character whom you'd think can't edgeguard Kragg at all can kill him for free by threatening to break pillar with neutral special.
>Kragg
just fucking pillar, you now have two pillars to do whatever you want with.

grow out of this shit tier scrub mentality. that's the beauty of fighting games.

>>719697808
I'm not convinced real heavies can't work in platform fighters, and I don't enjoy heavies that move fast. It's not enough that galvan is slow, they should all be slow and simply have strength and hitting hard as their upsides

Why is the game's lighting and contrast so shit? Even the models in Blender's EEVEE renderer look far cleaner.

>>719672465 (OP)
looks like shit and let me guess it cost money

>>719683641
I bet you need to be logged in to use it

>>719699868
What do you mean? I'm usually a stickler for these things and RoA2 looks fine to me. The issue for me is that the stages could use some work visually.

>>719701134
Their shading model is so muddy. Nothing pops.

>>719699575
If maypul was that much bigger in-game she'd be less annoying to fight (even if her disjoints became that much larger)

5 weeks until Galvan. This guy is so destined to bottom tier

>>719672465 (OP)
>zoning violations
Is she actually a zoner? I feel like smashfags are allergic to zoning

>>719703345
She's not really a zoner. Best she can do is pester people from the other side of the stage with projectiles. But that's not her win condition like it is with real zoners like Guile.
If you want an example of a true zoner check out Ezzie from Rushdown Revolt. Her gimmick is she has a super meter that when full lets her put down a field that makes all her normals into weird projectiles including mines, slow tracking fireballs, tall arching fireballs, and a dedicated crossup ghost-swipe thing.

>>719703315
i finally understand this gif now. she has no fucking 'get off me' buttons. she has no recourse to this.

>>719703868
>I play Absa
Raped to death by feral niggers
>opponent is playing Absa
Every time I get in, she jabs, dtilts, ftilts, or wavedash grabs and suddenly I'm getting juggled by uair 3 times in a row

>>719703345
RoA2 doesn't really have a zoner, projectiles- or normals-based. Instead, they distribute zoning options to characters logically.
>Ranno
His awful air speed and his susceptibility to getting stuffed out by disjointed normals can make it difficult for him to approach. Needles don't deal a lot of damage, but they can harass and condition your opponent into making mistakes and force them to approach.
>Zetterburn
A less consistent way for Zetterburn to activate his DoT effect, trading speed for range. Again, it incentivizes Zetterburn's opponent to approach, less because of the DoT effect, more because it covers his approach and can convert into disgusting strings or extensions if you're not prepared to parry it.
>Loxodont
Meatball covers the angles he can't with his slow ground and air speed, forcing his opponent where he wants them to go.

The people who play any of these characters like pure zoners should be shot. Yes, I have played a Zetterburn who played him like a fucking zoner, it was really obnoxious and ineffective.
