Just an observation. Since this is a team based game, it would be cool if characters did their winning animations together and some had special winning animations.

It would be nice if this game's success influences the big pillars of the genre to invest in a special 2v2 tag mode for all their games. It doesnt need to be exactly like this, which might have game breaking implications for some franchises... it could be basic tag mechanics. This is something that most franchises could have today, but it just wasnt favored because of the heavy serious tryhard competitive bias that surrounds these games and their communities. Like team mode (Turn Based KOF style) for 1v1 games is something that is slowly being more pushed, but anyways its good that companies are realizing that it only helps to enhance the fun in the games. SF5 got it, GGST is getting it, etc. That is also something that most 1v1 fg franchises should have by now. I just remembered now that UMK3 had a team mode. That one was a true pioneer.

That Ekko pressure from 6:12 was nuts, almost 100 to 0 the Yas, that position swap move seems like people can get nutty with it to really extend combos, pity he dropped the meaty at the end. I love using the 2nd players assist into swap as a cross up too, Prediction: 2v2 meta will settle on using the Freestyle handshake tag for maximum flexibility and mind games.

It's really a fine tradition of RIOT GAMES that a game where you win or lose based on your strength rounds turns into a rant/blame your teammates game!

You can also play 1v2 in this game right? If so I think it would be interesting to have brackets with both solos and duos allowed

I feel like I still don't understand. Does this 2v2 mode add anything to the game over a normal assist fighter, other than it switching who is in control of the point character? I was sort of hoping they had some idea that made the game too complex to have all of the mechanics be controlled by one player if they are focusing on this. It just seems like splitting a tag fighter across two controllers. Still sounds fun to do sometimes, but it doesn't seem like something that would stay relevant unless I am missing something huge. My main problem is that it only seems to add drawbacks other than the novelty and fun factor of playing with two people. It seems like it will just be easier to drop combos without anything extra added to make up for it. Basically, what I'm trying to figure out is this: Is this mode somehow different than the 2v2 mode in Street Fighter x Tekken in some way that I'm not getting?

@ddranimestyle

Ай бұрын

I get what you mean. I wouldn't want to play UMvC3 if I needed my partner(s) to know when to use their assist in my combos. On the other hand, if we had a mechanic like BBTag/SFxT/MvC1 where you control both characters at once, that would be different if controlled by two people vs solo. Sounds hilariously unbalanced... but probably fun like SFxT scramble mode was lol

The Team thing is def top tier for multiplayer gameplay, looking forward for what it becomes

The gameplay pace is very good so far. It’ll be interesting to see new player adapt to the idea of calling assist very carefully, cos it seems like you certain characters can combo the assist character high up out of reach😭

Even now I’m itching to get my hands on it!

Ive been asking and waiting for a team fighting game for years, I always thought that Naruto clash of ninja did a good job with it and was looking forward to cerebrawl.

What the genre always lacked were actual "cooperative" modes. Ngl, It's always a struggle to get friends into the genre because, what you gonna do? Go into training mode, explain the verry basics and sandbag the following matches when playing against them? Not fun for them because they know I'm holding back but also obviously you can't go all out as well.
