I think it's the speed, to be honest. My reactions aren't the best. The match usually ends up being crazy no matter who wins, though.

Stream seems balanced around the YOLO gem, kinda fitting honestly LOL
He's too slow with too shitty a hit box otherwise x.x/

When none of the two have full meter I think the match is close to equal, but when they get Kickfactor...oh man it's just too much.
Of the two, I'd say Kick does better. At the beginning of the round, I literally can't do anything other than kickback that won't get me hit on reaction.

Hm, maybe I should try to be more offensive in that match then. I'm usually content to sit back and let the other player make mistakes instead of trying to gain ground and pressure.

Lost three matches and 102 points. Guess I'm done for the day.

I reached 380 and really wanted 400. My hubris was my downfall.
Steam and PSN.
Apologies in advance if there are any matches I won't be able to make because I'm organizing a Divekick tournament of my own.
I would wanna see in the future maybe Gootecks and Mike Ross characters or even a fusion of both, Fchamp as either a giant pelican or a guy in a pelican suit, Uncle Valle as he is but the joke would be everyone refers to him as being super old and wanting to take it easy on him, Daigo as Diego Umahriguez aka El Bestia or have him being portrayed as a super advanced robot, terminator style and Chris G as a super anime drawn character with big eyes and sparkle trails when he dive kicks.

I'm gonna be making a thread later tonight for the Divekick tournament. If things go well, and if everyone agrees, then we can probably start as early as Friday afternoon.
Don't go quoting this post though. Save it for the thread.

Kenny and MarkMan, win or lose, it's awesome playing as both. Finding Spirit Bullet setups and building that kickbox are too much fun (the feint is amazing too). Both force me to think about the entire roster and item list as well.

I wanted to see Sp00ky as Stream's warden.
This is the story of my life... well, the last two days of it.

Who's the best counter pick for S. Kill? Trying to use Matkman in this matchup is a pain for me. I admit I could be done something wrong with Markman though.
Real tip: Against Baz, choose anyone but s-kill or stream and you shouldn't have a problem. Rush him down and intercept any angled kicks. This will destroy most Baz players.
Keits has said he has a lot of ideas for characters. I bet "Bryan Davis" mentioned in the credits is their first addition if IG get the opportunity.

My biggest complaint is that the matchmaking takes way too long to find a new opponent. I just got fraud ed twice, too. Ugh. I have to stop thinking so much about the meter.

Dive = up
Kick = upback
Air special = directly above opponent
Parry = perfectly placed for a headshot
Baz vs Baz is probably the stupidest thing I've ever played.
Here's the match up:
If you go in against a meter building baz you're dead because the wall of lightning.
So it turns into a cold war between two baz's with meter gems getting Kick Factor at the same time.
I had 6 double kos before frauding the guy because he wanted to go in.

I like Kung against him. The low angle means parries aren't a risk and you can cover a lot of distance so Seth won't get the chance to build meter safely (and that's pretty much all he can do). Just rush him down careful to space so you won't be hit by a low Divekick and will be able to react and punish a high one. If he lands a head shot things get rough for you though, he'll be able to build enough meter to get a special off by the time you recover from a dizzy and that's bad news.

Yep. Just had this happen. I'm finding that I'm not very good at this game.

Loving the game so far.
Maybe already asked but, is a bigger lobby system n the works with spectator mode?
Thats the only thing that that would make this perfect.

It'd also be nice if ranked match ups didn't take so long to find players. Not really sure how you could handle that.
How's it selling so far?
Also, if I may make a suggestion, I think it'd be nice if you didn't lose points so quickly. I end up fighting a lot of people who just have 0 points.
I got the idea from seeing so many Bazzes get kick factor and just immediately throw out a horizontal kick.
Started counter picking with a style gem and I've been getting great results! You can only really it dodge once by doing that but hey, one less free kill.

Anyone on psn?
1.) for the vast majority of players, this isn't happening. I find matches super fast on all three platforms, as do most players. We are investigating why this is happening to some players, but putting your ps3/vita on DMZ in your router settings may help you.
2.) I dont know!
3.) This is how ELO ratings systems work. If you have lots of points, and lose to someone with few, you lose a lot of points. If they beat you, they gain a ton. On their end, they lose very little if you beat them. Many games use a very similar system.

fuckin' called it, man
I was so ready to buy this until I saw it was $10. Maaaaan.
I was looking at this before it launched and there was no price, so I assumed it was free. that's probably why I'm disappointed. gonna have to meditate on this one...
You were expecting this to be free?

I don't have any problems connecting to matches on steam, though my vita seems to take a long time to find any matches (doesn't happen with any of my other vita games)
Not tried out the PS3 version yet, I'll check it out tomorrow
Played a lot more matches today and still having a blast. Feel free to add me on steam (veggy7)

One day of skipped lunch in the US wont hurt you...
Or if you smoke, tell someone to go half on a gram with you. Bam 10 bucks lol
I was sorta on the fence and I took the plunge. Super happy with my choice. Games freakin awesome
Please add a way to Invite players in Lobby for Steam.
Also you have to implement a Blind Pick system for online Ranked play (no need for Unranked play). Too much counter pick shenanigans going on or waiting until the last second to fast pick a character. The worst is Jefailey vs Shoals gem selection because the Jefailey player has to wait until the Shoals player to pick a gem because if she picks YOLO then Jefailey has to pick YOLO too. In fact that match up overall is pretty stupid, you have to look at the hit box of Foot Dive AND the ginormous head of Jefailey... it's way too big and too much of a drawback for the benefit it gives you.
not originally, but when I went to the steam page there was no price listed. and you'll have to excuse me but a first glance at the game doesn't scream 'this should cost money'.
not saying anything about the game itself, nor am I aiming to offend you, but as a first impression vibe that doesn't seem too far fetched.
yeah I'm damn tempted.. It's just a mix of time plus me being frugal as shit. I love supporting indies though and this doesn't look like a 40 hour RPG so I think I could probably wing it.
We'll keep investigating.
We definitely want to add blind pick to ranked. I might even adjust how YOLO gem works.
As for steam invites, we'll look into that, but for now just coordinate. Message your friend that you are hosting a private lobby, have him search for a private lobby and join yours.
No YOLO gem works fine as intended, it's just that one particular match up that is kinda stupid. The YOLO gem just compounds the issue, even if they pick the standard gems it's a match up that is heavily in Shoals favor. A Shoals can be down 0-4 rounds and can EASILY come back 5 rounds to win, it's not even a rare situation although most of the time Shoal wins anyway. It's just the whole issue of the Foot Dive hit box interacting with Jefailey's giant head along with his limited mobility, the options become very limited for Jefailey and one head shot basically means game over for him.
For Steam invite you can invite someone to Divekick by using the chat option of Steam (click the arrow, select "Invite to Game").
