All joking aside, I hope to see some character-matchup breakdown videos in the future. I'm talking about matchup-specific setups and such. Because the game is so simple from a mechanics standpoint, matchup strategies will be crucial here.

Steam me up.
Entering both.

I can guarantee it'll be up by this time tomorrow~
Grace Chen Time, to be exact.
Which usually translates to sometime after 4:00pm EST.
The steam codes have/are going out if you won it during the giveaway. I got mine. Thank you Dave!
I wonder if I can put it in right now...
Also I want to say this because I feel like a freeloader. I was planning on redeeming the code for PSN and purchasing on steam but I found out the TV my PS3 is hooked up to is 60hz so it's only outputting 30 fps. Divekicking at 30 is not godlike. I'm pretty sure that's how it works, I tried some 60 fps games and it didn't look like 60. If I can convince some friends to jump in with me I may pick it up on PSN later.

I'm getting really impatient, I keep checking the PSN store every ten minutes. I really wish the store updated earlier.
Same here.

Game is fun.

Trying to get your friend in a game on PC is currently not very reliable.

Thank you for this. I laughed more than I should have.
And will I get refunded $2, because I completely forgot about the discount and bought it. I suspect I won't.

First impressions after 30 minutes of playing offline on steam.
Characters:
- Dive's specials (jump cancel/fast fall and a short hop forward) are somewhat hard to utilize for a beginner. I need to get a better feel for the game (knowing when I'm in danger and when not) before I can use his specials better to dodge and punish. His lines are all god tier though. 'Imma drop you like the leftmost zero' is pretty great.
- Kick is a lot easier to grasp. His specials seem easy to work into your gameplan (an extra fast kick and ability to stun enemies if they're on the ground) and his normal kick and kickback are great too. My recommended character for beginning players.
- Redacted's kick and kickback move her veeeeery little compared to the others I've played so far, so it's hard to move around. I also had trouble getting hear walljump off. Keits, do the dive or kick gems improve her kickback range?
General stuff:
- The game moves fast.
- Two-button menus work okay, but it's annoying you can't back out of the character select screens if you accidentally picked the wrong mode to play. Since the escape button is already used in gameplay as the pause button, it would be nice if we were able to use it in menus too to back out.
- The art looks better in motion than in screenshots, especially the characters. Background stages look nice, and the short comics at the start (and prossibly end, haven't gotten there yet) are really well done.
- God damn Steam cards. Already got S-Kill!

This isn't cross buy for Vita?
Never mind, it doesn't say it on Sony's site but it put both versions in my download queue

I was until I counter-picked a Jefailey player with YOLO Shoals, I've never felt like such a piece of shit in my entire life.
LOL. Jebailey just tweeted about this, did the Jefailey player also pick YOLO?
Eh, why not. Steam.
This is everything I'd hoped it would be, and I've never been a big fighting game player. Loving Baz and Shoals at the moment but I've a lot to learn still
Anyone on steam wants to play just drop me an invite:

I can't for the life in me figure out S-Kill's teleporting though, real weird.

Steam.
Also check out this fanart by zalwelgoedgaan on the playstation forums:
It's for the fanart contest where you can win a free PSN code. Still open for submissions if you want to try for a free code. http://community.us.playstation.com...Contest-Win-a-game-download-code/m-p/41075041
On that note I'm still waiting for a Steam code that I won during the EVO stream. There's probably nothing wrong, I'm assuming codes are generated when the game goes up for sale. Turbo pls.

Psn for me, hopefully can buy it today.
I'm chaining matches atm no problem. West coast of USA if that makes any difference. PC, too.
So fun! It's exactly how I thought it would be from watching tons of streams and videos. There are NO issues with doing specials, it's not complex. Sure, it is technically more complex than just the two buttons but that doesn't mean it's actually complex. It's just one more simple thing you need to factor in.
Story mode has animatics in a nice hand drawn style for the intro/ending and text dialog between opponents sometimes (tap both buttons to skip to the next line). I like it. Online is where you'll have the most fun. Reading and being read, trying to come up with new strategies. No one is counter picking so far in unranked, just letting it ride, trying to figure out the characters/matchup or keep their streak going/trying to best you.
I did have one really laggy game, it was difficult to deal with but the vast majority of games had no lag. I wonder if it was because I was the host most of the time? From what I can tell you are the host if you start on the left side. Correct me if I'm wrong. There was an issue with one of the laggy games where the menu didn't work properly. Either I just had to accept the rematch or if I got lucky my single button press would register and I could change character/quit.
Also I seem to have the most trouble against Jefailey online. I must be terrible. :lol I have an even win/loss ratio (unranked mode). Steam version.
Great game Keits, Dave, and the rest of Iron Galaxy! This is the first fighting game I've been willing to learn since SSB. Divekick is strategy and timing, no complications.

No, he picked a normal gem. He couldn't do anything in all 5 rounds.

This game has been amazing so far, it's so fun. Also I'm having a blast using Markman.

Jefailey is hella fun though.
My Tier list:
Top Tier:
Dive
Kick
Redacted
Kung Pao
Shoals
Sensei
Random Tier:
Kenny
Markman
Bottom Tier:
Jefailey
Baz
Stream Monster
S Kill
