No thanks

It's pretty easy to play compared to most fighting games. Even Shovel Boy is in it!!

I already bought it at full price.
I don't regret it, I like Saizensen's work and want them to do well.

Not that I'm expecting much but is there anything substantial to do outside of versus mode? Unique endings for each character at least? I really want to play as Kawase in a fighting game but I know I'm not going to get any matches on such a dead niche fighter like this.

Why the fuck does Kawase have knives?

Is she going to cut up Curly's belly

Did you forget that she's a sushi chef?

why are fighting games so prone to dying? i'd be willing to give them more of a shot if they had an actual playerbase.

Dead playerbase and no reason to get it over DBFighterZ or Guilty Gear.
Even Power Rangers is better.

Summer Kawase has the deepest lore.

I have all those games already. I just like playing different fighting games.

Is this a coomer game

Is Bazooka any good solo?
UK was just fine without a story.

Damn, Kawase looks like THAT?

That's just what Solange looks like.

I wish. Those huge tatangas are as lewd as the game gets sadly. Just visit the Sankaku booru.

It’s a fighting game. Of course it is

Not enough filler content to keep people's attention. I think a battle pass idea would be a potentially good idea to keep people on the grind even if it sounds money-grubby.

what a sloot

There is a story mode and unique endings for characters, but for the most part it's a barebones arcade port. If you're not interested in the mechanics SSZ's bringing to the table, or want significant single player content, then you're not going to dig it.

That said, $5 is way less of a risk than $40, so even if you try it and it doesn't click, you're not going to be out of much cash. I think the systems are neat, but it suffers from a recursive lack of popularity, you can only get matches if you lurk the game's discord.

Unless you're a particular kind of autistic they just get boring fast.

Noko is highly attractive and it legit the first time in a long time that a video game character got me going without any outside fanart/porn. She presses my buttons perfectly.

Fighting games have one thing to do in them when it comes to the multiplayer component: Fight another person. That's it. Think about all the modes and missions and extra shit you can do in any other multiplayer game that keeps you coming back, for most fighting games, NONE of that is in there. For most people, they'll play a fighting game and yeah it could be fun for a little while, but there's nothing in there to motivate them to keep playing, so they go do something else. Then each time they come back there's less and less people, meaning matches take longer and longer to find until eventually you just give up on the game.

Unless fighting games adopt player retention methods other genres do, they'll never be mainstream big population games. Only the most popular/famous ones will have steady playerbases.

But then it starts to become a party game, not a fighting game.

That's his fucking point. Fighting games die quickly because they are extremely one-note games. They are and always will be a niche product. There is no way for them to keep being the same types of games while increasing their longevity in any significant way.

You can do both things. Anyway, I don't really advocate fighting games becoming party games, I just don't know how else to fix the problem of low player numbers. I think it's more likely people just have to come to terms with the fact that their favorite genre is niche and won't always have a gigantic playerbase. Fighting games just don't appeal to that many people.

Sounds good enough to pick up for $5, it's a huge discount.

I want to get this because I love Umihara Kawase, but I'm not very interested in fighting games and I don't know anyone who will play it with me.
Is Bazooka any good?

It's cheap as shit bro, I'd get it just to stab other characters in the dick with Kawase.
