Not a fan of fighting games but looks good.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
It might have been fun if they weren't knock offs (although they might eventually land a collab for certain characters and/or DLC like GigaBash, that's not enough). It's not very creative visually, so much for imagination. Gameplay doesn't look like anything special or different either, just competent

Looks really cool actually, but man, it'd be SO much cooler if they had the actual rights to all the figures.

I think it's a deliberate choice since the first trailer looked so slow:Latinos and their saint seya miniatures
Seriously tho it looks cool, the idea is fun, if the balance is good game could be really fun too !
Seems a bit unreadable as it is now with all those vfx, maybe they should ease up a bit on them.
It's seems this game was actually a failed kickstarter that somehow found other way to keep going.

MVC3 gameplay with knock off toys? Looks very cool.

Looks fantastic and a fucking refreshing novel idea at that. Count me in.

I've told you a MILLION times!
Stop exaggerating!
Thats the hook, right, these are knock-offs of popular characters so they are close, but not quite, the same.
I saw He-man and Skeletor, Manzinger/Gundam possibly, and Street Sharks. Some I couldn't walk back to the inspiration.

No sure if you're being candid, they're deliberate knock offs of known established properties/franchises (Heman, TMNT, Mazinger). Hence the name.

Yeah, I didn't realized that at first.
Only after googling I realized this is in the same trend as bootlegs.

I get the idea, but it's almost impossible to find it on a Google search. I bet people visiting this thread thought that it was about knock off games in general, not this game in particular.

This looks pretty cool. For some reason I thought of Kablam! and that Action League Now show they'd have as one of the segments. If the movements were just a bit stiffer they could probably have it look just like if you were a kid play-fighting with toys back in the day, but I understand that can't be 100% done for a fighting game. Still though, they've done a great job nailing most of that feeling.
We don't really get super-weird & visually unique fighters anymore. Last one I can think of are the ClayFighter games and while those looked great (especially 63 1/3), they played terribly. I don't think this game needs to be EVO-certified or something like that, but I hope it's got a decent enough substance and they give it some strong single-player content too.
Consider me interested!
....also about the toys not being licensed: TBH I prefer that they aren't. Once you get licensing involved, it's only a matter of time before the game's shelf life sets in quickly. Dealing with rampant roster changes, ballooning of the budget, and the studio potentially facing closure if a version with licensed characters didn't perform to what the license holders would want. It'd also probably necessitate going through a bigger publisher or a publishing route that isn't self-published, so that's another company with their own targets that have to be met.
We already have too many licensed games anyway. I think part of the hook here is you're meant to imagine what the knock-offs are referencing, like how you'd imagine these toys back then were doing all the cool stuff the cartoons did when really you were just waving your arms around like a doofus.

Mmm it could be, the name of the game is knock off afterall.I'm thinking this guy is a Street Shark knock-off....
Still, not using a shark is retarded, he could have just changed the clothes.

It's knock off because I think they can't use the real name of the characters due to copy rights

Primal Rage was the closest thing released

Two things:
1) I love the artstyle and how 'lifelike' the toy characters look.
2) I can't wait for a modder to make 'Skeletor's' face look like Skeletor's. (fun fact: I asked the devs why isn't his face a skull and they told me they tried to make it non-skull-like in order to avoid a copyright claim).
