That's the training mode I'm talking aboutI just don't think it's very helpful at all.
The training mode is absolutely terrible by fighting game standards.

Isn't this good tho? It feels like the game mechanics fundamentally rewards you for being passive but by keeping punching and being more offensive you can be rewarded with getting more rush gauges filled. This is how I try to play and so far I feel haply to get rewarded even when facing grab happy Ninjaras.
It's not a comeback mechanic though? It works and builds like a traditional super meter gauge.
You get way more meter for punching than anything else.
No problem.
I do punch first, but not to hit the opponent. I just back away and use safe single punches (with no intention of hitting the opponent) until I have Rush.
But you must keep punching!

There has to be a way to punish these quicker charcters
jts
...hate me...
Can we talk about the inability to go to the home menu while in a lobby?
Can't check the battery %, can't check who's online, can't change the screen brightness, change control settings quickly etc. No game should be allowed to do that, except in the usual quick situations (like loading screens).
Just penalize people that are AFK in a match. Not this extreme babysitting.

I'm having a much better time with it than with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, that much is for sure. It's very decent in my opinion.
I'm starting to test out aggressive, offensive play, but I still think it's super risky. When I play rushdown my goal is to corner the opponent. If I do that I basically win. Really depends on Arm configuration though.
I would agree except that I can just sit back and single punch all day to build meter. Not much you can do about it.
If it's not a comeback mechanic then I can understand. However, in most modern fighting games you super is used as a comeback mechanic.

Do ZR and LR do anything besides activating the special?
Anyone?
I'm playing in handheld mode with on-motion controls and seem to be doing pretty good. Already beat Grand Prix at 4 with one character and played a bunch of ranked.

It's very good with standard controls.
Motion is alright but I vastly prefer regular controls.
Really good imo. I am currently doing level 5 single player, and I mostly win in online matches. Manoeuvring around is easier with pro controller, but comes at the cost of more difficulty in curving punches. All in all I'd say pro controller is definitely on par with motion controls, and I personally prefer it.

Your super can be used as a comeback mechanic, but it's almost universal in fighting games (modern and old) that supers are built by playing offensively
Movement is easier but you don't have independent control of punch aiming and curvature. Still fun to play with traditional controls, but I'm only doing it in handheld mode when the situation calls for it.
My son too, four years old. I was kinda shocked to see that it's rated as PEGI 12. Wife wasn't too happy.

Is Hedlock even supposed to be beatable? I'm trying to win a single round for like 30 minutes now. That's one of the most insane difficulty spikes in recent gaming history, seriously
Why wouldn't he be beatable lol

You have to be more patient with him because of the 6 arms and super armor. Try more throws after he shoots and weapons with more curve or range
The biggest downfall of the pro controller is that you can't curve punches as well. I think every other aspect of the game is better with the pro.
That depends on what other comeback mechanics are already in place. In SF4 and SF5 supers could be used offensively because the ultra or v-trigger was your comeback mechanic. In most modern fighting games the super or equivalent technique is the comeback mechanic. Rage in Tekken, Instinct Mode in KI, etc.

If you want to be cheap when it comes to Hedlok just stay back as far as you can and toss out single punches until you have rush meter. Wait for an attack, dodge and active rush. Rinse and repeat and you should win.
Picked it up on my lunch break and played a little. SO good. Forgot how great it looks on portable. So much charm to this game, it's great. Got through a few fights of the 4th difficulty without issue. Hopefully I can continue that after work and unlock online
Has anyone had any luck with Min Min's deflects? I played her the most in the testing and I was deliberately trying to get it to work today with no luck. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it seems hard to line up a direction and their punches.

SFV isnt really a good comparison when Injustice 2 and Tekken 7 launched for the same price but with tons of single-player content.

I made a design mashing together ARMS & PUNCH-OUT! What do ya folks think?
Holy shit! This is amazing!
^THIS.
All day this!
I think it's easily the worst stage I've ever played in a modern fighting game. Although to Nintendo's credit, it lowers the skill ceiling and makes the playing field equal no matter who's playing.
Haven't yet played it. What makes it so frustrating?

I don't understand it. The enemy is to my right, I fire my right arm while aiming right and nothing fucking happens. The discs make actually landing a hit completely haphazard. Even homies have almost no effect.

best strat is to luck out and get an early life lead then run away because n o o n e c a n h i t a n y t h i n g

yes, 100%
it distills the spacing and mind games of fighting games and removes all the combos and lab time

At first I thought having the joycons be a different color than the system was dumb, but after seeing a neon and yellow colors in person I'm now totally sold on the concept.
Nope, you can dive in! Not having to learn combos and such goes a long way in this regard.
Single player content could use more meat, but if you're fine with it being light in that aspect, game is fun as hell to play with other people, whether locally or online.
