The hit stun in this is ridiculous

"Quarter Up is a video game developer headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and a subsidiary of Skybound Games."

Ok now it makes sense

They're the former developers of Killer Instinct 2013.

I still think it's so weird that they chose this IP for this kind of game. It just.... doesn't feel like it has enough meat on the bone for it.

A dozen years later it is doubtful they have the same crop of talent. I do not think that Killer Instinct (2013) set the world on fire either. It has some interesting ideas with varying levels of execution but it lacks cohesion. I am playing it currently and my experience is very uneven.

it looks better than last time I saw it, but still not amazing...
it looks less like Mortal Kombat than I thought it would tho, and that's at least good to see. but then again, being better than the worst isn't much to brag about.

The entire team or a couple people? This game looks terrible compared to Killer Instinct.

Kind of normal for a 3v3 versus game from what I can tell. Game still needs a lot of work and balancing.

Makes sense, the sounds are very similar minus the god tier music.

Also that roster yeesh, this is so niche it'd be doomed even if it did look better

Maximillian (who had an early look at the game months before it's reveal) said that it was nearly the entire team. So maybe >90%.

You can definitely hear the KI influence in the combo callouts. This obviously needs a lot more work so we'll see how it turns out. It's not out until next year.

I was spoiled by watching Max's Tokon gameplay earlier. That was awesome.

The good news here is that they have until late next year to clean up the graphics more, since the game is rumored to be coming out winter 2026. I'm sure they will get a lot of feedback at EVO this weekend to help.

They kind of went through something similar with KI 2013. They discussed graphical changes pre-release/post-reveal with Max years ago in September of 2013 when the game released in November of 2013 and looked good.
