Any news about this?
do you think it has any chance of being good?
Who would you want to be in it?

It will be mediocre and forgettable just like Rising Thunder.
Elise and Fortune
Tyler Campbell
it'll be mediocre but propped up by paid advertising, huge tournament pots, and updates over the course of many years
Bentley Moore
no but it would be cool if riot used worlds to announce to new shit like valve does with the international
no idea
my boy
Gavin Young
it will be just another sonicfox fighter
Austin Roberts
You didn't hear this from me, but apparently development is not going well.
They're still arguing about what mechanics they want to put it and Riot just wants this shit out the door.
Jaxson Martin
how fucking hard is it to make a street fighter 2 clone in the year of our lord 2020
no one ever liked any mechanic that wasn't in sf2 anyway
Ryan Hill
I HEARD DEVELOPMENT IS NOT GOING WELL, THIS GUYTOLD ME ON 4CHANNEL DOT ORG

>no one ever liked any mechanic that wasn't in sf2 anyway
Do you seriously think that?
Believe what you will. Just don't be surprised when the game turns out to be a mess.
Like SFV they want to get the game out and THEN fix it.
Daniel Ward

It's objective truth
Joseph Flores
That should be obvious to anyone. It's fucking Riot games, they've thrived off of Games As A Service for over a decade on a single game.
They should do it Blazblue style. A few simple universal mechanics, routine gatling normals, then every character has some preposterous one of a kind gimmick mechanics. It already looked like they were trending that way anyway with unique UI elements for some characters in the teaser they showed off.
Gabriel Richardson
probably dead
at least they won't have guys from the league balance team
toplaners/junglers were made for this game, just imagine people just kicking the shit out of eachother

theres one guy on reddit.com

it depends on how much theyre looking at the failures in other fighters and what theyre gonna set as their default controls and how they want competitive to go
if they actually have the money to make online play the default for their game beating out the competition in netplay thats already beating out the failing fighter market since all the competition is made for play on the same system and covid killed all that
if they can cement themselves as the only viable online fighter theyre pretty much set
if they cant then they have to make a game thats good enough to compete with SFV and mk11 and playable on consoles and keep it updated
riots got a lot of money I think they can do one of those
Evan Parker
>good
Maybe at first but I don't trust them not to micromanage the meta hard. I'm just hopeful they do the infrastructure right and give other fighting game devs a kick in the ass on things like rollback, crossplay, downtime etc.

>do you think it has any chance of being good?
No, but I fully expect a large number of suspicious posters insisting it saved the fighting games genre and anyone who doesn't want to hear about it is a shitposter.
Noah Powell
>if they can cement themselves as the only viable online fighter theyre pretty much set
this is guaranteed basically. They have the creator of GGPO as the lead dev and riot literally owns internet cables in the ground all across the world for league and valorant, it will literally be impossible for other fighters to compete
Caleb Butler
no
good? idk, but it will be super popular, f2p with waifu skins for an established ip with potentially good netcode and matchmaking will be an easy sell
stupid sexy vlad
Christian Phillips
This game will be huge and /vpol/ will seethe for months
About time someone made a fighting game that isn't a yearly $60+DLCs cash grab
Logan Jenkins
i wish
all it needs is good online and the riot and lol brand name will do the rest of the work whether or not the mechanics are any good
nidalee and lee sin are my 1st and 2nd favorites. as long at least one of them is in the base game then i'll be happy
Andrew Sullivan
roster
Joshua Smith
It's gonna kill every single fighting game because it will have specific servers for it no p2p shit
Julian Murphy
They hired Clockw0rk for it so it should have pretty good mechanics. The Cannons will guarantee it has good netcode too. Too bad I don't give a shit about LoL.
Hudson Reyes
This does not seem to be entirely based on popularity? What criteria did you use?
Noah King
Servers do nothing for fighting games. Adding in an extra hop between you and your opponent only adds latency. You also don't need a central authority because if one players starts hacking the match will just desync. You could connect both players over p2p and to a server to monitor for rage-quits or something though I suppose.
Adrian Watson
I doubt the roster will be over 20 starting. I am interested to see how successful a F2P, crossplat, fighting game with good netcode could do audience-wise.

This is never coming out and if it does, it's going to be a bigger train wreck than RT.
Aaron Cruz
pffft, ur wrong kid. there's at least 8 seconds of gameplay footage if you trawl multiple trailers.
Zachary Ward
I liked Rising Thunder
Ayden Peterson
Gimme Udyr Riot dont pussy out, you’re reworking him next year anyway. It’ll be perfect timing
