Think the last version of the game boiled down to picking one of the very obnoxious top tier characters and leveraging their stupid gameplans. Striker neutral skip and guard breaks, hitman get to 30 percent health so he can tod you from a safeish dp or just kill you slowly with his ambiguous # of hits instant overhead mixups, etc etc The new version didn't take any of that away it just added more bullshit to every character which is not a balance philosophy i care for. Dnf might be a cool game for people who like something really simple and really bullshit but that demographic is not me lol 59 minutes ago, Pair of Rooks said: Oh right that makes sense. Will do.

The game was fun out of the gate but I agree the TOD combos got tiresome. I think Brian_F put it best that long ass combos are cool in games like Hokuto No Ken and Marvel where they're difficult to pull off. The problem with DNF is everybody is doing them day 2. Ah well, in the end it probably just pushed more players back into Melty and Strive. Quote Link to comment

Re Testament maybe it's cause I can chuck plasma at the same rate of fire but full screen that unimpresses me, but her vacuum 2H seems much more obnoxious. Even then, how'd I get touched by a 2H in the first place. Seems ok. May is annoying for the first time ever, since 2S isn't a Stop That button anymore. Nago I swear has the flu or something. Every time I send him through a wall I'm like dude are you ok, do you need a Snickers or something? Quote Link to comment

Pair of Rooks Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Belated, but GGs @Shahenzan Took me this long to get back to my gaming machine. Match felt pretty even. I have a horrible backdash habit, misinputs galore, the Daisuke uppercut, and general spaghetti I need to clean up, but it was a fun fight. I dropped so many rounds I coulda won. The health nerf is definitely real. But I think I only stun dippered one 5H in all 30 games. Made about as much difference as guard crush Sacred Edge. I was wondering why you jumped so much til I saw your last Steam message. I didn't know he even had any safe jumps lol Quote Link to comment

Jocelot Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 What a wild character. Really fitting for That Man, but wow. They lost me at "Bookmark (Auto Import)". So he's actually pretty different than Nine, I wonder how often he'll be able to get the ball rolling in an actual match Quote Link to comment

BornWinner Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 VSFighting got a build of season 3 and people showing off the changes. https://x.com/pokeee627/status/1692464751303852245?s=46&t=DsbASjNidMiUKBQHEVgN7Q Here’s what I have seen so far. Burst gauge regens faster. Gold burst now gives positive meter. Positive meter now fills burst gauge. Burst is full screen. Gio has a new move that powers up her special moves and can cancel into them. Nago 6H not cancellable. I-no has a guard crush move. Chipp 6k slower startup, combos into 2k. Potemkin megafist tumbles. Leo heavy DP no longer invulnerable. Ky Stun Dipper 7 frames. Bedman? 2s2h frame traps. Also keeps errors post wall break. Quote Link to comment
