"Why haven't fighting games died yet?"
I wrote about the unique strengths of the fighting game genre that have allowed fighting games to survive multiple generations of evolution intact, and why you didn't fall in love with a product. Warning: This is a long one.

Haha, can't reveal too much yet. But I do want to emphasize his more frog-like aspects. Take that how you will.
My friend just really loves frogs, so I had to put one in, and that was that!

I'll try to give an answer unrelated to what I'm trying to prove with HF:
Air footsies! I feel like only Melty Blood and Arcana Heart (supposedly, I haven't played it) really tried to emphasize this aspect of neutral. Up-backing in tag games doesn't count.

Anyway, I have my own thoughts about the article going around, but I do think people are making dangerous sweeping conclusions based on past failures.
"It's not that complicated" - it kind of is! Lots of factors play into whether a game does well or not.

Working on profile cards! Use your unlocked icons, plates, and titles. I also want to let you set certain stats on the bottom, like in Apex.

Apologies, I think for now I'm going to try editing something myself - too many specific cuts I want that I'd just end up being overcontrolling. I like your work though!

Agree, wish I could add alternate modes sooner but unfortunately just making the fighting part is a ton of work ๐

I still think this game is for sickos, but getting better at movement is such a dopamine rush

Learning Melee by playing doubles with friends
I would have never picked this game up on my own, even 1v1, but learning it this way and slowly improving, hoooly shit...
I get it...

Did pretty ok in my first Rev2sday! (beginner bracket) Guess I'm not complete ass.
Things to improve: gotta confirm damage better when I get big hits, and finally learn a safejump lol
