Fun Fact about the Alexander Infinite That rush throw that was used to do the infinites you saw at Frosty Faustings was, by the one of the dev's own admission, programmed to be an unblockable so that you could combo into it, and didn't think about the consequences that would transpire because of it.
Dude seriously, thank you so much for these recap videos. You put me on some obscure fighting games last year like Pocket Bravery, I bought that on Steam last year simply based off your video, never heard or it or read a review. Thanks so much for the work you put in. Cant wait to dive into this!
I think it would be hella interesting (If MK1 still continues after all) that Frost takes the name Sub - Zero and starts a civil war in the Lin Kuei, forcing the Shirai Ryu to join in.
2024 was the year I started to actively follow the FGC. Been watching all the tournaments, players and events, while also being more consistent with me learning the ins and outs of the genre. My goal this year is to lab the heck out of City of the Wolves and enter a tournament or two. Also going to try and make East Coast Throwdown.
As much as I love Heihachi and M. Bison, I’m upset that they’re being revived in Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6. These franchises need to stop living in the past and commit to the future they advertised. Or at least make them non-canon/ghosts like with Nightmare Geese. Heck, I thought Reina was made with the purpose of preserving Heihachi’s moveset and playstyle without needing to revive Heihachi over and over. By the way, this is exactly what’s still happening with William Afton from FNAF and RE’s Umbrella Corp
@ yeah, but what about the Umbrella symbols in RE8? It’s clear that RE wants to keep bringing Umbrella into the plot somehow even after the company is long gone.
@@joshuaheins4018Umbrella was started by a guy who visited the village, and those symbols became the blueprint for their logo. It wasn’t a revival so much as a backstory
@@mx.e2176 I’m saying we don’t need a backstory for Umbrella. We need a Resident Evil game that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Umbrella. No backstory, no involvement, no nothing. Why else do you think they killed them before RE4?
@@joshuaheins4018I'm not sure why Umbrella is in the conversation, regardless of their name or symbol is mentioned/referenced the company ITSELF hasn't been present, responsible for or around during the events of the modern games
38:27 I know it's supposed to be underwhelming, but that unironically would make me really happy "Imagine if Sakurai appeared on a Livestream and say 'Smash Bros is Back'..." 🥺🥺🥺
Jesus, I once believed Multiversus had the potential to be the biggest F2P platform fighter. And now? I just want the game to die. Can't believe Multiversus had the audacity to be nominated for Fighting Game of the Year 2024. Anyway, can't wait for COTW and 2XKO for this year.
I find the more mainstream games (SF6, tekken, MK, and Strive) to have parts that just kinda ruin it. But man, UNI2 is great! I feel like it's really picked up the torch after blazblue.
Man, who would have thought that we'd get a new Tekken, Street Fighter AND Mortal Kombat *in the same year*? AND new Dragonball game around the same time?? Regardless of how they turned out, that fact alone is still shocking to me...(maybe now we can get that DoA 7 back in the mix?)
amazing job with this video. I was really looking forward to it and im excited to see it next year. can't wait to try some of these games. also excited to see the under night retrospective
Personally even if 2024 was the worst year ever for fighting games I wouldn’t care that much because this was the year I first really go into the genre so I had a ton of legacy titles to dive into as well as the new seasons of Guilty Gear (my FGC gateway drug) which will always be special to me as my earliest (traditional) fighting game memories.
Also today a leaker said multiversus relaunch might die soon and season 5 is the final stretch because of the game doing poorly. Aquaman and lola bunny on their way to kill the game for good.( Those are seriously the leaked characters for the next season)
A few months ago it was announced that knock off is getting a ps5 and switch 1 version, glad to see that the failed Kickstarter didn't ruin the game's chances.
Gonna watch it right now thorgi. Anyway thanks for a entertainment for 2024. BTW i got some suggestions for 2025 onwards. because some suggestions i wrote actually foreshadows (star gladiator retrospactive) here some suggestions for videos I would really like to see you do, some of them are from last year but some of them new: Retrospective: Tekken (waited for this one for the entire of 2024) EVO (do it like scott the woz e3 videos, around evo time cover one previous evo tournament) Dissidia Final Fantasy Tobal & Ehrgeiz (a DreamFactory retrospective) Virtua Fighter Arcana Heart Capcom VS SNK Star Gladiator ClayFighters Urban Reign Soul Calibur Persona 4 Arena Waku Waku 7 Power Instinct Let’s Make A Sequel: Power Instinct Revival (with some characters and mechanics from Groove On Fight) The King of Fighters 16 Fate/unlimited codes 2 Bloody Roar 5 Soul Calibur 7 The King Of Fighters Maximum Impact 3 The Last Blade 3 Urban Reign 2 Dead or Alive 7 The Rumble Fish 3 BlazBlue Sequel Digimon Rumble Arena Sequel Virtua Fighter 6 (we got an announcement but you can do something similar with what you did with Street Fighter 6) Build the Roster: Image Comics Vs Capcom (Invincible still popular so its a good idea to do it) Street Fighter X Tekken 2 (a sequal to the capcom version, now with sf5/6, tekken 7/tag 2/8 fighters included) Arc System Works: Dragon Ball X One Piece (something similar to Dragon Ball Extreme Butoden and One Piece Great Pirate Colosseum crossover feature but with Fighterz gameplay) Fighting Megamix 2 Namco Fighting All Stars Sonic Showdown (there is a fangame but i want to see you take on this) Injustice: Mortals and Gods Kombating United (my horrible name for mk vs dc 2) Tekken X Virtua Fighter Capcom Vs Namco (not project x zone or street fighter x tekken, just any franchise of capcom and namco fighting each other and without bandai) Neo Geo Battle Colosseum 2 Tekken Tag Tournament 3 (tag 2 was overstretched with characters so it’s would be interesting to see who’s cut) God of War Fighting Game Tecmo vs Arc System Works KI vs MK Def Jam Revival (reboot of the def jam wrestling games from ps2/gamecube but with more modern rappers) Rock Bands Fighting Game (Not a spin off of rock band but something similar to def jam fight for ny but with rock stars) SNK Heroine 2 Metal Slug Fighting Game The Witcher Fighting Game (Granblue Fantasy and DNF got few so why not The Witcher?) Marvel Super Heroes Revival (similar to the X-Men BTR)
I hope you will push through with the idea of "Top Franchises That Need a Fighting Game". I often have that idea everytime I watch a good action anime (but not the arena type fighting game that gets abused for those that already have one). I am also thinking of the anime series that deserve BETTER fighting games like MHA, Kenichi, and Baki.
This video has encouraged me to finally buy in that new Rage of the Dragons re-release, but I’m also absolutely going to use this as an encouraging stepping stone to try and get into Under Night and Melty Blood, and maybe pick up back where I left off with Guilty Gear Strive esp. with those upcoming dlc stuff and that new anime 💕
Have you spoken about that Pokemon fangame Close Combat? I'm not too familiar with it, but I know that it's populated entirely by Fighting Type Pokemon, and that they recently revealed a new fighter, being Mega Lopunny. (Apologies if you've mentioned it before and I just missed it)
I saw comparison videos on SVC Chaos that shows censorship cos some pixels just won't fly for 'the modern audience'. Would love to hear your take on that!
I'll say that SF6 destroyed itself for me this year, all thanks to SimSim. I got the game around March, enjoyed it, and enjoyed playing on the intermediate servers. Then, they introduced a feature that killed 90% of the servers. SimSim came and everyone started playing against it exclusively, and the centre ended up being empty. I played there so I can play against players at my level, but nobody on intermediate plays against anything but SimSim, completely invalidating the existance of those servers. And 1 and 2 are full of diamond and master players, who are way out of my league. So I only really have online, which is the exact same issue, or offline
Hey Thorgi if you need any ideas for future build the rosters here are some ideas if you are interested. For a smash build the roster how about a Disney Multiversus. Since you made an X-Men build the roster how about a few others based on specific heroes like a Batman, Spider-Man (one challenge you could make for yourself is to only include three or less Spider-men so you can concentrate on the villains and side characters), or the Teen Titans that would be interesting. I remember you mentioning that you were interested in making a Star Wars build the roster one thing you can do is make it a Soul Calibur like game since their best fighting game appearance was in Soul Calibur 4 and doing this could be a good challenge to make a roster based on melee weapons and find characters that fight more than just a lightsaber. If you want to make more what if games here's a crazy one I thought of Image comics VS. Capcom. With this how about making roster for the Marvel Vs. Capcom series but instead of having Capcom fight another big superhero franchise like DC and instead have it be about another comic book franchise that was big in the 90's like Image comics. Image was massive in the 90's and I remember you used to cover comic books so this could be a chance to flex your comic book knowledge and for this you can make roster for all the games in the Marvel Vs Capcom series but instead of Marvel use Image comics character that were relevant for the time. You can even make a Image only rosters to represent X-Men COTA and Marvel Superheroes like for the X-Men one could have an Image team like Youngblood or if you don't want to torture yourself do something like Spawn or WildCats then an image crossover before you start the Capcom crossover games.
It really hurts to see Multiversus get talked about negatively. It was the first game I ever got to beta test, and that one week was so special. I never spent a penny on it, because I spent all my time unlocking everyone, getting everyone to rank 15, watching the game get shut down, and then seeing it come back. The way PFG treated people like me was great. I could do all the missions, I had all the characters, I could get the special things with the spending currency. I was having a blast... but I have to admit that people like you who didn't play too much of it when it first came out got the short end of the stick, and people getting into it for the first time didn't even get that. Sure, some of your details were incorrect and made it seem worse than it is. Some problems you had have been fixed, but that might be because you haven't played it in some time, which I hate to say it, but I get it, and it hurts. I will defend this game with my life. Playing it now, I love it, and it may be unpopular, but the controls feel far better than any Smash Bros game because it's simple to pick up, and having a keyboard rocks. I've never been more confident using a move and getting into the right position than ever before. I know how high I'll jump, I know exactly what direction I'm going in and what move I'm using (99% of the time, no game is perfect). Do I need to play more fighting games-YES. I don't buy too many games, and I've never taken the time to properly play a traditional fighter, I'm sorry. But I love this game, it feels great, and if the rumors are true, I'll make sure to enjoy every moment I can before the sun goes down... ... Also, HOLY COW, THREE HOURS OF THORGI! I'm eating good tonight.
Lmao if it was better than smash everyone would have standing for it like u did. Try PM if u haven't. Completely different from the floaty janky mess of multi vs
As much as I'm enjoying bt4 they really need to add more character's/map/content like obviously it takes time to add that but there is some stuff that should've been in the game day 1 compared to what bt2/3 have compared to sparking zero is wild 😵💫 well at least they balancing the game
Will you ever do a Marvel vs Capcom retrospective? It was painful to sit through the Street Fighter retrospective and see the MVC crossovers completely ignored
Warner brothers wanting to point their fingers at anyone but themselves. Here's an idea. If you have to shut down multivrrsus. Don't. Shut yourselves down WB. Thank you
Edit: Omg he said the thing all sparking zero "fans" needed to hear. I keep saying it too, but adding ranked to this game... Was a fucking mistake. This year was so fantastic for fighting games. I'm super happy over all that we got, and I'm just sad games like sparking zero got such hate that was undeserved all because people are picky crybabies... Like dude. The games amazing shut up. Just because your ranked match mode sucks doesn't mean the rest of the game sucks. Get that ranked brain washed idiot mentality out of your thick skull for a second and open your eyes. This is exactly what a TRUE sparking fan has ever wanted. I've loved bt3 for ages, and getting sparking zero as it was.... Was glorious. I do wish we had more capsules for offline. Timer options, dp options and the ability to use more capsules in more modes. But not having these, doesn't make the game bad... Fucking hell. Also Tekken 8 has its issues but it's so much fun. Even if.... Competitively... It's a casino game. And I see T7 as my "I want to try hard" game, and T8 as my "I wanna do crazy bullshit for fun" game.
Damn Sparking Zero just makes me sad, man. For all the complaints, everyone, including me have about Tekken 8, at least it released as a finished fighting game that felt great to play and was at least very intuitive with what was happening on the screen. Meanwhile, over in Sparking Zero, everything is such a mess that it feels like the game is just fundamentally flawed from its core, to the point where I'm starting to low-key believe we all got scammed tbh. It's terribly unbalanced mechanics, paired with a clunky and unresponsive set of controls, bad netcode, no crossplay _in 2025 no less,_ and worse off, if you don't care about all that and just want to play by yourself; The single-player content is so half baked to a point where it can't even be considered a true story mode by Dragon Ball standards. For god's sake, Vegeta doesn't even get any DBS fights in his session. This game is cooked. 😭 And now they've the gail to charge that much for DLC, like damn man, I'm hyped as hell to try out Beast Gohan, but still. Have some class.
@YourAveragePlayer432 frrr, there's almost no semblance of neutral, or mind games or anything like that which doesn't involve spending a bar of your ki. And if a player decides to use said resource, the fight will eventually just devolve into a vanishing war that leaves whoever empties their ki gauge first completely screwed. That's not even going into depth on how screwed up all the counters are in this game, along with the absolute tragedy that is the sparking mode. And this isn't even digging at arena fighters for not being like traditional fgs too. Arena fighters like the Naruto storm series and even XenoVerse 2 had better and more wellt thought out mechanics that encouraged more interaction and decision-making nuance than than this.
The thing is though sparking zero is apart of the budokai tenkaichi series. Those games were notoriously unbalanced but that was the point, Every character was designed to be as accurate to their anime/manga counterparts as possible. They're less fighting games and more toy boxes for you to smash your favorite action figures together. The moment people tried to treat it like a legit fighter was the moment people forgot what the point of these games were.
@nightmarearcade2663 the most powerful fighters in the lore being super good in the game isn't the issue tho, it's when you got characters like yajirobe, DC Gero, A.16 and other lower tier characters that don't cost as much but r actually secretly really busted. That's the issue and plus the general gameplay being so much stiffer and unresponsive compared to the BT trilogy along with the unbalanced mechanics and yeah, all that stuff too makes it worse. The other bt games were not like this at all. It was unbalanced af sure, but they didn't have these low tier characters that were meant to be weak Be secretly powerful and they didn't have all these janky core mechanics there to make it said broken characters even more unbearable to fight
@SSJ_EWGF I just think the main issue was so many people trying to treat this like a legit fighter. It's way more unbalanced compared to the BT trilogy, I will admit, but being unbalanced was the whole point. So many people online are trying to treat sparking zero like a legit competitively viable fighter when it just wasn't made to be so regardless of broken characters like Yajirobe. And I think that's what's really gonna kill this game. Sparking zero was just not made to be a competitive fighter like something like street fighter, but so many people wanna try and make it into one and get frustrated when it doesn't work as such.
I’m glad there’s someone out there that knows it’s the higher ups screwing over Multiversus and not the developers. People gotta stop attacking Tony and the crew. I love the game and I hope it keeps going but from the looks of it, its days might be numbered 🫡
Fun Fact about the Alexander Infinite
That rush throw that was used to do the infinites you saw at Frosty Faustings was, by the one of the dev's own admission, programmed to be an unblockable so that you could combo into it, and didn't think about the consequences that would transpire because of it.
Thorgiween AND Yearly Recap!?
The Fighting Game Gods have blessed us!
Dude seriously, thank you so much for these recap videos. You put me on some obscure fighting games last year like Pocket Bravery, I bought that on Steam last year simply based off your video, never heard or it or read a review. Thanks so much for the work you put in. Cant wait to dive into this!
I think it would be hella interesting (If MK1 still continues after all) that Frost takes the name Sub - Zero and starts a civil war in the Lin Kuei, forcing the Shirai Ryu to join in.
2024 was the year I started to actively follow the FGC. Been watching all the tournaments, players and events, while also being more consistent with me learning the ins and outs of the genre. My goal this year is to lab the heck out of City of the Wolves and enter a tournament or two. Also going to try and make East Coast Throwdown.
i had the same thought about uni2’s release date
i was baffled
As much as I love Heihachi and M. Bison, I’m upset that they’re being revived in Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6. These franchises need to stop living in the past and commit to the future they advertised.
Or at least make them non-canon/ghosts like with Nightmare Geese. Heck, I thought Reina was made with the purpose of preserving Heihachi’s moveset and playstyle without needing to revive Heihachi over and over.
By the way, this is exactly what’s still happening with William Afton from FNAF and RE’s Umbrella Corp
Umbrella hasn’t existed in Resident Evil since 3
@ yeah, but what about the Umbrella symbols in RE8? It’s clear that RE wants to keep bringing Umbrella into the plot somehow even after the company is long gone.
@@joshuaheins4018Umbrella was started by a guy who visited the village, and those symbols became the blueprint for their logo. It wasn’t a revival so much as a backstory

"Imagine if Sakurai appeared on a Livestream and say 'Smash Bros is Back'..."
🥺🥺🥺
The new mechanic in Street fighter 6 where you fight the AI composites of real people that's why I love the ghost battles in Tekken so much.
Thorgi Arcade let's goooooo!
Jesus, I once believed Multiversus had the potential to be the biggest F2P platform fighter. And now? I just want the game to die. Can't believe Multiversus had the audacity to be nominated for Fighting Game of the Year 2024.
Anyway, can't wait for COTW and 2XKO for this year.
Outstanding video Thorgi. Keep up the awesome work.
I was hoping to see another installment in this! Great video!
I find the more mainstream games (SF6, tekken, MK, and Strive) to have parts that just kinda ruin it.
But man, UNI2 is great! I feel like it's really picked up the torch after blazblue.
Hearing what you said about people screaming for Adjustments. Then you showed you're a ZANGIEF main. MA MAN! 💪
Also along with clive, anna Williams was announced as the first character for season 2 in tekken 8
Man, who would have thought that we'd get a new Tekken, Street Fighter AND Mortal Kombat *in the same year*? AND new Dragonball game around the same time?? Regardless of how they turned out, that fact alone is still shocking to me...(maybe now we can get that DoA 7 back in the mix?)
amazing job with this video. I was really looking forward to it and im excited to see it next year. can't wait to try some of these games. also excited to see the under night retrospective
When a retrospective on Mortal Kombat like now
Sayin Fighting Games were BAD in 2024 is actually clinically insane, I'm sorry.
ghostface plays like terrordrome ghostface
Can't wait for the under night retrospective. I hope you try to explain the lore and cover the differences in versions.
This was the year I got more interested in fighting games
Honestly? Videos like these make me want to face my fears and crack open Godot (the game engine).
I love all these unique fighting games
57:40 "Oh crap. That's bad." Is putting it VERY politely.
When Thorgi drops a new post all is good with the world
The Nintendo directs revealing MVC and CAP FIGHT COLLECTION 2! Max Helped keep the Dream alive and.....what a time to be alive!
24:34 Entropy Effect is awesome, I highly recommend it. It's probably the best roguelite I've ever played.
Nice! I was looking forward to this one!
Personally even if 2024 was the worst year ever for fighting games I wouldn’t care that much because this was the year I first really go into the genre so I had a ton of legacy titles to dive into as well as the new seasons of Guilty Gear (my FGC gateway drug) which will always be special to me as my earliest (traditional) fighting game memories.
Fighting the good fight to 100k subs. I’m rooting for you. 😎🤟🏾
Thank you for this. I see a couple of fighting games that have caught my attention.
Here's to 2025 Thorgi. 😊
I’ve been waiting for this video omg this made my day
14:36 I'm sorry but that Don Ramón got me 🤣🤣
I was really hoping you would bring up how the mvs devs actually made fun of people requesting characters but whatever still a wonderful video.
Also today a leaker said multiversus relaunch might die soon and season 5 is the final stretch because of the game doing poorly. Aquaman and lola bunny on their way to kill the game for good.( Those are seriously the leaked characters for the next season)
A few months ago it was announced that knock off is getting a ps5 and switch 1 version, glad to see that the failed Kickstarter didn't ruin the game's chances.
The mortal kombat 1 updates ending after t-000 hasn't been fully confirmed yet. (But it probably will become real knowing how modern day wb is)
You forgot to mention that they laid off the Nick All Star Brawl 2 devs when Iroh dropped
Gonna watch it right now thorgi.
Anyway thanks for a entertainment for 2024.
BTW i got some suggestions for 2025 onwards.
because some suggestions i wrote actually foreshadows (star gladiator retrospactive) here some suggestions for videos I would really like to see you do, some of them are from last year but some of them new:
Retrospective:
Tekken (waited for this one for the entire of 2024)

Street Fighter X Tekken 2 (a sequal to the capcom version, now with sf5/6, tekken 7/tag 2/8 fighters included)
Arc System Works: Dragon Ball X One Piece (something similar to Dragon Ball Extreme Butoden and One Piece Great Pirate Colosseum crossover feature but with Fighterz gameplay)
Fighting Megamix 2
Namco Fighting All Stars
Sonic Showdown (there is a fangame but i want to see you take on this)
Injustice: Mortals and Gods Kombating United (my horrible name for mk vs dc 2)
Tekken X Virtua Fighter
Capcom Vs Namco (not project x zone or street fighter x tekken, just any franchise of capcom and namco fighting each other and without bandai)
Neo Geo Battle Colosseum 2
Tekken Tag Tournament 3 (tag 2 was overstretched with characters so it’s would be interesting to see who’s cut)
God of War Fighting Game
Tecmo vs Arc System Works
KI vs MK
Def Jam Revival (reboot of the def jam wrestling games from ps2/gamecube but with more modern rappers)
Rock Bands Fighting Game (Not a spin off of rock band but something similar to def jam fight for ny but with rock stars)
SNK Heroine 2
Metal Slug Fighting Game
The Witcher Fighting Game (Granblue Fantasy and DNF got few so why not The Witcher?)
Marvel Super Heroes Revival (similar to the X-Men BTR)
Well I'm pretty sure Noctis is why we got Victor so sure! Clive is good, can't wait to get Clovery Daniels in Tekken 9!
Ah thorgi my goat what's up

Multiversus lacked one core concept… A BASE ROSTER

Ok, hear me out, what if, creepypasta build the roster?
Yooooooo Aaron how you doin
Is there a list of all the games shown in the video? I want to check some indies out and I don't want to watch 3h video again.

For the love of god, play Rivals 2 or something.
Preach, I love this game too 🫡
I was super excited for Rivals of Aether 2, Now I just need the console version in a couple years so I play on hardware that can manage it.
Who would like to see Arc System Works remake Masters of Teras Kasi??😉
As much as I'm enjoying bt4 they really need to add more character's/map/content like obviously it takes time to add that but there is some stuff that should've been in the game day 1 compared to what bt2/3 have compared to sparking zero is wild 😵💫 well at least they balancing the game
47:07 ain’t no way you’re blaming the player base that had valid criticism of the game for that clusterfuck of a patch 😂
I miss blazblue
Will you ever do a Marvel vs Capcom retrospective? It was painful to sit through the Street Fighter retrospective and see the MVC crossovers completely ignored
when that's Thorgi Direct for 2025 coming?
He’s not doing one
@@StickBreightley NO! 😭😭

Warner brothers wanting to point their fingers at anyone but themselves. Here's an idea. If you have to shut down multivrrsus. Don't. Shut yourselves down WB. Thank you
2:34:37 Yep yep yep. MK fans and at this point, I think NRS themselves don't even know what they want.
Edit: Omg he said the thing all sparking zero "fans" needed to hear. I keep saying it too, but adding ranked to this game... Was a fucking mistake.
This year was so fantastic for fighting games. I'm super happy over all that we got, and I'm just sad games like sparking zero got such hate that was undeserved all because people are picky crybabies... Like dude. The games amazing shut up. Just because your ranked match mode sucks doesn't mean the rest of the game sucks. Get that ranked brain washed idiot mentality out of your thick skull for a second and open your eyes. This is exactly what a TRUE sparking fan has ever wanted. I've loved bt3 for ages, and getting sparking zero as it was.... Was glorious. I do wish we had more capsules for offline. Timer options, dp options and the ability to use more capsules in more modes. But not having these, doesn't make the game bad... Fucking hell. Also Tekken 8 has its issues but it's so much fun. Even if.... Competitively... It's a casino game. And I see T7 as my "I want to try hard" game, and T8 as my "I wanna do crazy bullshit for fun" game.
Damn Sparking Zero just makes me sad, man. For all the complaints, everyone, including me have about Tekken 8, at least it released as a finished fighting game that felt great to play and was at least very intuitive with what was happening on the screen.
Meanwhile, over in Sparking Zero, everything is such a mess that it feels like the game is just fundamentally flawed from its core, to the point where I'm starting to low-key believe we all got scammed tbh.
It's terribly unbalanced mechanics, paired with a clunky and unresponsive set of controls, bad netcode, no crossplay _in 2025 no less,_ and worse off, if you don't care about all that and just want to play by yourself;
The single-player content is so half baked to a point where it can't even be considered a true story mode by Dragon Ball standards.
For god's sake, Vegeta doesn't even get any DBS fights in his session. This game is cooked. 😭
And now they've the gail to charge that much for DLC, like damn man, I'm hyped as hell to try out Beast Gohan, but still.
Have some class.
Every time I play sparking zero I feel so bored. It’s one of the most un engaging fighting games I have ever played
@YourAveragePlayer432 frrr, there's almost no semblance of neutral, or mind games or anything like that which doesn't involve spending a bar of your ki.
And if a player decides to use said resource, the fight will eventually just devolve into a vanishing war that leaves whoever empties their ki gauge first completely screwed. That's not even going into depth on how screwed up all the counters are in this game, along with the absolute tragedy that is the sparking mode.
And this isn't even digging at arena fighters for not being like traditional fgs too. Arena fighters like the Naruto storm series and even XenoVerse 2 had better and more wellt thought out mechanics that encouraged more interaction and decision-making nuance than than this.
The thing is though sparking zero is apart of the budokai tenkaichi series. Those games were notoriously unbalanced but that was the point, Every character was designed to be as accurate to their anime/manga counterparts as possible. They're less fighting games and more toy boxes for you to smash your favorite action figures together. The moment people tried to treat it like a legit fighter was the moment people forgot what the point of these games were.
@nightmarearcade2663 the most powerful fighters in the lore being super good in the game isn't the issue tho, it's when you got characters like yajirobe, DC Gero, A.16 and other lower tier characters that don't cost as much but r actually secretly really busted.
That's the issue and plus the general gameplay being so much stiffer and unresponsive compared to the BT trilogy along with the unbalanced mechanics and yeah, all that stuff too makes it worse.
The other bt games were not like this at all. It was unbalanced af sure, but they didn't have these low tier characters that were meant to be weak Be secretly powerful and they didn't have all these janky core mechanics there to make it said broken characters even more unbearable to fight
@SSJ_EWGF I just think the main issue was so many people trying to treat this like a legit fighter. It's way more unbalanced compared to the BT trilogy, I will admit, but being unbalanced was the whole point. So many people online are trying to treat sparking zero like a legit competitively viable fighter when it just wasn't made to be so regardless of broken characters like Yajirobe. And I think that's what's really gonna kill this game. Sparking zero was just not made to be a competitive fighter like something like street fighter, but so many people wanna try and make it into one and get frustrated when it doesn't work as such.
Bye now.
I wanted the final Street fighter retrospective chapter pls?😢
The retrospectives are so goated that I'm sure the SF6 one it's taking a lot of time. But once it's out it'll be a banger, Thorgi always delivers
@@JoseLopez-py5fhhow can we have a retrospective for SF6?
The problem is whenever it drops it will be on a timer till it’s outdated
I think he should do the retrospective when the game is actually done
In this video, he mentions that the final part will come next month
I’m glad there’s someone out there that knows it’s the higher ups screwing over Multiversus and not the developers. People gotta stop attacking Tony and the crew. I love the game and I hope it keeps going but from the looks of it, its days might be numbered 🫡
