@ryangarza5513 It's looks perfectly fine for a game developed by a small indie studio heck 1 guy right ....The Music is Fire , The Stages are cool and interactive , The Announcer is sick and the hit effect sounds OP so what are you gamers complaining about? I don't get it 😕
@wolvertox311 and it does from what I can see and I'm surely not listening to these nobody reviewers telling me what games to buy and play ....I will determine for myself if It plays well for me ..thank you very much
Dam It's almost there, characters and animations are pretty decent, but some backgrounds, story portraits, background characters look rough. A sequel could be fix most issues.
Respectfully I will wait for a sale. I remember this being announced so long ago. Waiting so long plus coming out now during so many others releases like Sparking Zero specifically. I will support just not at this moment.
I do like the character designs! Reminds me of Chaos Code. Definitely still picking this up. To curious to not play it myself! Thanx for the review though! Always reapect the opinions of Noisey Pixel! No rollback is definitely a problem.
wow this finally came out. I do love the character designs. I dont really agree with your lack of theme with the designs as other fighters even well known fighters have weirdo designs in it as well that stand out. Just look at street fighter. I do see myself getting it down the line. It kind of came out at the wrong time.
@NoisyPixelNews True gamers and fighting games fans in particular that have been waiting for this game since it's announcement in 2018 think this game is coming out just in time for the holidays. I personally will dip 3 times into this hidden gem 💎 of a game : I pre ordered both the Switch and PS4 physical version and I just paid for pre downloaded the the digital switch version and I'm happy to do so by putting my money down for this indie game to support the devs that will continue to give of interesting innovative games and one last thing " Nothing can break my heart 🎶🎵💜 " 😍
@@KahL1One This review is the worst review ever and all he did was bash the game and didn't highlight anything cool about the game ...I mean he literally said the music isn't memorable or something and that announcer is annoying ....I dead and I will never ever watch any games reviews coming form this tuber 🙄
You have to walk before you run. I feel that all the right things are there for this game to be successful. I'm a lover of Fighting games and this looks like it has potential. The fact that it was developed by a small team in Rare Breed is also taken into account. I think it looks great. Can't wait to play it
It's $40 so don't complain if it doesn't meet your standard. That's the same price as the Capcom Fighting Collection and $10 less than the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection.
I feel like I've played this game 10x already under SNK. This looks generic and about 25yrs out of date. At least get up to 3rd Strike standards, people. I'll wait until it hits a lower price maybe unless I see something different from the other hundreds of old fighting games
Had this game comes out before Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Strive, and KOFXIII: Global Match then I would definitely buy it for Switch but as it is now and coming out at a time when these fighting games as well as the superior Capcom Fighting Collections of games already had their mark it's really difficult for me to recommend getting this especially for that $40 price tag when you could just get the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection for just $50.
I'm sure ThirdStrike got a lot of the similar criticisms this reviewer laid out when it came out. I'm definetely going to pick this up when it comes out! (also i actually like the announcers voice this review is tripping!)
Third Strike and Street Fighter III as a whole was going to be a whole new fighting game. It was going to be the first Street Fighter game without Ryu and Ken then fans outcry and they were added back in. The original SFIII was going to have only 10 fighters: Alex, Dudley, Elena, Ibuki, Necro, Oro, Sean, Hugo, Yun, and Yang. When Ryu and Ken were added back, Hugo was cut and Yang became a palette swap. In SFIII 2nd Impact Hugo was finally added back in and Yang became his own character.
It's a solid review. However, comparing every game to the "fighting game elite" is unnecessary, since those companies have had years to perfect their craft. Everything else seems reasonable. Ultimately, the success of this title will hinge entirely on its fan base.
Fair, but I do think it is worth noting as modern releases are basically always expected to have Rollback and ideally have crossplay since the single player offerings rarely have legs and local multiplayer is sadly niche. It is a really competitive market from all sides... "Elites" on sale, cheaper indies, classic games for free, classic games in collections... We will see if the game rises like Sonic the Fighters or ends up a curiosity for JMCrofts in the next decade, but Frosty Faustings may be a preview even if it may get patches or improve.
@@thelastgogeta It can be confidently asserted that the majority of the funds allocated for this project were directed towards the artistic elements. This is not to imply that fans should exercise leniency in their expectations. Rather, it is a matter of whether individuals appreciate the work that’s been done to place their trust in the developer. It’ll be a high hill to climb for sure. Going to buy it even if I don’t play it just because I know how it is
It's always good to have more fighting game variety. I know Blazing Strike was kinda in development hell and they even struggled promoting the game, but I'm still rooting for it. An indie dev made a third strike inspired fighter with an interesting combo system, hell yes. Whether the game can compete with SF6 or T8 isn't what we should worry about. Those games are guaranteed a large player base even if they were bad. And we have more resources to find players who play similar games. The main priority should be refining this type of game that died after SF4.
I'll pass. i dont like the graphics. I dont understand why developers are making games that look like games from past eras instead of using the grapical capabilities of the next gen consoles.
More companies need to go back to 2D tbh. These companies nowadays are cheap and lazy. They don’t take risk now. Part of being a successful business is taking risk . I’ll get this game when it comes down in price
Ehg ill probably get before the year closes, this review said alot but then not enough all at once, spent entireky too much time talking about the story (which few concern themselves with deeply in the fighting game space), i wouldve like to hear about character balancing and also, testing the netcode is a requirement for a fighter. If we know how the game plays between players, and how well or unwell the character balancing is. Wed know whether its a buy or not. Themain things i got from this were, story's not too good, we didn't try online, good mechanics...thx however
Basically no review of a fighting game prerelease is going to have a solid grasp of balance beyond a low level presumably against a few other journalists, friends or AI. It was a bit surface level on competitive stuff, but wouldn't stand a chance of saying anything helpful even if we had a beta or demo to preview some of the balance.
@@mikejames4910 An hour may be enough to find an infinite if something is really wrong or you pick the right character, but good luck finding out what neutral is supposed to look like or who has the strongest infinite potential or knowing about how matchups affect this. EventHubs of all places did find one infinite but it was a really simple one (Heavy Punch links into itself with the shoto Shinsuke). Is the infinite worth a ban? Hard to tell especially when the game has Rush Parry (a meter based combo breaker) and we haven't had real competition.
@@mikejames4910 Bullshit. Ultra Street Fighter 4 pros had Elena as a C-Tier character early in the game's life, and she was Top 2 by the end of the game's life.
If Pixels fail you - just add more, why people so obsessed with 3D... if woke devs can't do shit on UE5, just use shitload of pixels for more beautiful 2D image
It's unfortunate this game has no trail or demo. The game looks pretty unpolished and like a super dated MUGEN game. I was excited for it until I saw gameplay and the jankyness of it.
Oh wow, that art alone already has me interested! I'll definitely give this a shot once it launches on Steam.
This game has been in development hell for like 6 years I think. Sad that it’s not looking as great as it could have…

Vanguard Princess was made by 1 person and is like 100 times more quality.
Why not play a snippet of the announcer?
I like when they complain/compliment the music and then don't bother to play a clip.
Dam It's almost there, characters and animations are pretty decent, but some backgrounds, story portraits, background characters look rough.

Now that they are with aksys.....a sequel really put up there with the greats
The animations are horrendous 😂😂😂😂

Spark Zero not a classic traditional 2D/3D fighter, it's more casual bait. This is definitely for the hardcore 2D sprite lovers.
just don't buy it period. This is a bad game that is not worth anyone's money

Is it possible to turn off that filter ?
There are options for a CRT, Colour TV and HDTV. If you want it to be unfiltered, HDTV is probably the one for you.
What is name of that intro song?
It has potential but needs more time to "sharpen the sword"
