  • At Evo Japan 2024, I got a chance to have Majin Obama (with Zerp) take on Justin Wong (with Riot's own Tom Cannon. Fair and balanced teams, I know) in 2XKO (formerly known as Project L). Can Team Obama's Ahri and Yasuo previal against Team Justin's Illaoi and Darius?

    The combos doesn't seem too heavy and the damage is pretty tame. It feels pretty balanced, fair and fun at the same time.

    @mari_am2222 6 місяців тому +1

    The opponent being able to cancel your combo in the middle takes the fun out of any fighting game. Especially in a tag fighter where the most fun is the long combos.
    The opponent can break your combo in the middle at any time. This means that in practice the combos that should be the focus of this type of game end up never being completed.

    • @naruka777
      @naruka777 6 місяців тому +2

      Combos can only be broken with Burst (Called Dynamic safe in this game). Burst is tied to a very long cooldown and usually you only really got 1 per match, maybe 2 for a long ass match. Burst is a staple of games with very strong offense and fucked up mix, especially anime fighters.
      Not only do you not have to worry about your opponent bursting if they already done it before (or if one of their character is dead), but Burst as a mechanic opens a new facet of building up combos where you introduce some "Burst Traps" in the middle of the combo. If you block the burst, you get an absolutely crazy punish (Happy birthday + Reset + your opponent doesn't have burst + Setup your own strongest starter + Mental damage done to your opponent).
      If you've never played a game with burst, let me tell you that baiting a burst is the most satisfying thing you can pull up in a fighting game. That shit feels like a combination of satisfying mechanical execution of your combo with a mix of being in your opponent's head.
      ---
      Also Burst being tied to your second character can force somebody to use burst preemptively, allowing you to read into a burst bait much more consistently than other games with burst.

      @@naruka777 I found your arguments interesting and I liked the care you took in explaining your point of view. And I think it's valid that you like this mechanic.
      My point is that this game is much more like (and I hope it is) a Marvel vs Capcom game than just another Anime Fighter. And the fact that you can focus on long combos without being interrupted is the big difference. It's no coincidence that the Capcom Versus games are the most successful Tag Fighter games.
