This game got out of Early Access today. What's your thoughts about it. Is it any good for casual couch fighting? Any chance for being competetive online?
Please tell if you played the game or not. I had 30min demo, it seemed fun as my first smash-like game.
This game is pretty good. The community is way better than Sm4sh and Melee's, is a better game than Brawlout and Brawlhalla, good music and you can make custom colour sets. It's also good as a competitive game.
Julian Lewis
there's a demo?
Easton Thompson
On Xbox One you can play it for 30 minutes before greeted with a pay wall.
Colton Thompson
Why the fuck cant I use Ori in abyss mode?
Nicholas Evans
Its an amazing game,but not really that good for casual in my opinion .More geared towards competitive.
Logan Peterson
I was really hype for it, have had it for a few months in early access, but I can't get into it. I can't even put my finger on why.
It's good on paper. I like the characters and the gameplay is fun enough, but the game is never as fun as I think it's going to be. It never feels satisfying to do things in this game.
Plus it really bothers me how there's no shield, just rolls and dodges
Adrian Watson
I'll buy it today on Xbone before the playerbase dies.
Isaiah Perry
Will they add an arcade mode separate from the story mode?
Chase Gutierrez
I think I have the same issue as you. I'll play it for a bit and then go back to Melee because Rivals isn't as satisfying. That said it isn't a bad game at all.
Cooper Baker
They haven't made the ability modifiers for Ori. Who knows if they will ever will.
Andrew Taylor
the tower of heaven remix is fucking great
Camden Clark
Is it just me or do normals feels stubby?
Landon Edwards
My problem with it is that it tries to be casual but still competitive without making too much of a push in either direction. There isn't nearly enough depth to the game for competitive players to stick with it and it's too hard to casuals to play. It also has no real character. Why play as random bird when you can play as Mario? None of the characters, even with their "stories" feel like characters with anything behind them.
Jace Harris
Story mode was a pretty big dud I agree, especially with all that set up.
Joseph Morris
What else could they do to help give more casual content?
Alexander Martinez
Etalus' air grab is the most satisfying shit ever.
Joshua Bell
fat titty bitches
Jaxson Barnes
It's not adding casual content that's the problem. The game itself is too difficult for casual players to get into.
Nathaniel Wright
Add more to Abyss mode. Crazier stages.
Dominic Mitchell
It's the only smash game my normie friends like to play.
Landon Cook
Just learned about this game today and grabbed it. Really enjoying the movesets for each character. They are all unique and take full advantage of smash's movement (which is the best part of those games imo). For example the beetle man's up-special and the bird's jet stream make you think about edgeguarding and spacing in more interesting ways than just spamming projectiles
Melee is my favorite smash by far, but I never really got into the competitive scene because it seemed like a stupid way to spend my time. This is a no-brainer for anyone in a similar boat
Luis Scott
Really? For my friends + numerous other players can't get into it. And the ones that can think it's way too boring.
Ryder White

Sebastian Reyes
what's with all these furshit smash clones
Anthony Gonzalez
I don't get it either, one of them claims to hate the main games.
Jaxson Cook
It's easier to design would be my guess. Lazy but it works.
David Kelly
Hopefully they add an adventure/sse mode somewhere down the line. But for what it is, the story mode is a fun extended tutorial with some charming flavor text, can't bash it too hard
Charles Thompson
Played it. Game is boring, fempie. Refunded.
Joshua Robinson
I don't find it particularly tough to play. It takes a bit of time to get used to but I find it much easier to get into compared to something like Melee.
Aaron Wright
I felt like they could.have used abyss mode challenges as special rules instead of just basic fights. A little more story would be appreciated too.
Logan Allen
>ori costs 5 fucking dollars Dropped
Isaac Rodriguez
Didn't furries get attracted to smash through characters like Fox and Lucario? Seems like the go-to genre for them now other than Sonic-alikes and platformers.
Parker Watson
Game feels stiff as fuck. Doing combos is neat, but outside of combos the game slowly puts me to sleep. Shit game.
Connor Adams
Some of the movesets are too similar to existing Smash characters, such as Zetterburn being 99% Wolf. But I love the idea that every character has some form of stage control.
David Cook
the no 4 player free for all mode really killed this game for me. I have a lot of friends who are into smash and smashclones but we prefer the hectic free for alls
Jack Lewis
I've been playing it for a long time already. The game is surprisingly good and the controls are tight. The removal of grabs, shields, and edge grabbing make the game more focused on movement and combos than your traditional platform fighting game
Jacob Moore
You're right about Zetterburn, but as far as I can tell he's the only straight copy. The other characters have a decent mix of smash-like moves and their own gimmicks. I wish there was a character like Orcane in smash, the teleporting mechanic is great
Jace Thompson
To expand on this guys point. The community for this game is super helpful. The Discord Server for the game has all the pros in it and a lot of useful tech and advice. You can get a mentor there to help you get better at a character. Also when you play online it actually feels like people are trying to help each other get better instead of just stomping on you if you're the worse player
Hudson Baker
When is Ranno coming?
Nathan Roberts
>This game got out of Early Access today.
What? It's been out of EA for a good while now.
Mason Long
WHO TOP 500 HERE
Carter Baker
I'm top 500 for Absa in Abyss mode if that counts
Chase Bell
ez
Henry Phillips
Abyss mode is so disappointing, I'm always for more single player or co-op modes, but you have to earn so much currency to get the character upgrade slots. Plus, when it's always the same challenges in the exact same order every time, it's hard to get invested in it when it's simply no more than an endless grind
Ryan Long
Man. You can just edit the text file in the install path and unlock everything for yourself even custom color 2
Jayden Foster
Will they auto ban you from online if you do that?
Landon James
No I've been playing online with it. I'm sure it's there so tourney organizers can unlock everything easily for everyone
Michael Barnes
Yes, I know you can cheat in almost any game. If you have to cheat to make it fun, it's poor design
Connor Evans
It's not cheating? It's literally unlocking cosmetics. You still have to learn to play the game. I mean you can unlock the abyss mode power ups but does anyone play that mode even?
Juan Cook
I'm going to buy it solely because there's a playable frog. I don't know jack shit about it aside from that. More games need playable frogs.
Zachary Lopez
I was complaining about abyss mode specifically, but thanks for being an obnoxious prick about it without reading the posts
Luis Russell
the graphics and sound design turn me off
Elijah Rivera
Damn you're a delicate little flower. No one was being a prick to you I was literally replying to your post. I'm sorry little guy. Is this tone better for you? Hmm? I'll put on the kiddie gloves for you.
Josiah Ortiz
This. By far the best design in the game and they aren't even playable yet.
Michael Edwards
Awesomenauts has 2 frogs
Ian Edwards
I'm surprised by all the good opinions on the game and even the fanbase when this suppose to attract the furries. And Sup Forums hates furries
James Wood
Furries don't like games that take time to learn well. This is really just people who wanted a different alternative to Smash in the platform fighters genre. The community is really into the numbers behind the game
Christian Adams
Honestly in my opinion, this looks like it has a lot more effort put into then most of the other Smash clones.
Cameron Miller
That's not true. This game is 100% furry bait. The character roster is literally fursonas.
Adam Turner
I personally have not seen one furry online or in the Discord even. You can always tell furies by their screennames
Nathan Richardson
And that's a problem why?
Christian Hill
It feels unfinished. No shield, no grab, no edge grab just feels bad. Also there's loads of fast character but nothing to replace my Jiggly or Ganon.
Cooper Peterson
frog just got announced and probably wont be released for at least a couple months, sorry to burst your bubble dude
that said it is fun af, as a fan of smashlikes i enjoy it a lot. i would absolutely get it now while it's on sale
Brody Diaz
Wait, which character is a frog?
Robert Peterson
So they're all just going to be generic human characters? I don't understand people like you honestly. Anything with animals is furry bait to you guys.
The promise of a playable frog eventually is good enough, to be honest.
Brandon Campbell
>Poisonous pacifist >uses venom >uses violence ONE JOB
Eli Brown
How do I stop being bad?
Michael Smith
>Nothing to replace Ganon >Etalus ???
Austin Stewart
He plays nothing like Ganon, Ganon was so smooth to control and this fucking bear is just garbage.
Ian Lewis
>no argument damage control? I honestly don't give a fuck about them. They can yiff in hell but you people are retarded for screaming "REEEEEEEEE FURRYBAIT REEEEEEEEE" everytime you see and animal in a game.
Noah James
Is it me or are the edges really close in compared to smash?
Bentley Wood
There are no ledges. Idk why a game would look to take away depth but whatever.
James Flores
clearly Lylat wars was furbait? BANJO KAZOOIE? furbait? conkera bad furday? well, its basically right there in the title. don't get me started on Altered beast.....
Colton Hill
edges, not ledges. i meant the death zones.
Parker Scott
There are no free for alls? Man that sucks. It's usually the funnest way for me to play. Oh well, I'm still getting it purely because Ori is in it now.
Tyler Jenkins
Don't believe that user he doesn't know what he is talking about. I play 4 player FFA all the time with buddies.
Leo James
That's what tourney mode in the settings are for.
Sebastian Nguyen
Does Tournament mode work for the DLC characters as well?
Oliver Phillips
Don't hate on the bear you slut.
Michael Thomas
The combos look so cool. It's too bad outside of combos, the game is complete shit.
Landon Parker
It unlocks all free stages and characters.
Julian Lopez
Whats so bad about it?
Jaxson Howard
movement sucks dick. Making it the worse smash clone.
Landon Perez
Brawlout is also a smash clone with a frog, too bad it just went off sale
Kayden Ward
Doods, if you wanna shill your game just be upfront about it. No one's gonna get angry.
Justin Murphy
While it's definitely not the strongest feature, I haven't really heard or experienced tons of problems with it. What's so terrible about it?
Christopher James
>No one's gonna get angry. First day here?
Nicholas Nelson
>Anytime someone posts something positive about a game it's considered shilling. Can this meme die already?
Anthony King
>the obvious shilling in this thread
It's 2 people in here talking about how "great" the game is. The reality is, this game sucks ass.
Chase Carter
Is it just me, or does the game feel really shallow? I played the beta awhile back and never touched the game again and I realize that it's because it's lack of defensive options. It feels like once somebody has the offensive, you're fucked and you can't do much about it other than counter which is way less reliable than a regular shield. I liked what they tried to do, but the game ends up being too offensive and feels to have just as much depth as Sm4sh. It's a shame cause I really like the new characters like Orca, Maypul, and Forsburn plus the new frog character.
Elijah Ross
What controller is it made to be played on? Gamecube?
Ryan Martinez
What about a frog that says "Feels good man" and "Feels bad man"
James Wright
Nice opinions man, I really like how you backed up your points with logic and reasoning.
Dominic Jones
Anything with two sticks. A lot of crossover from smash community uses GC controllers though.
