Really appreciate the higher rank content. I started playing this game because of you and the low ranks haven't been teaching me much but the UA-cam videos like this help me understand more.
I'm loving your FS content! Do you think it might be a good idea to diplay your ping? So people can see how well the net code holds up even if you run into a bad connection.

I really like that game. I started to play it because of you, good job. But i must say Geiger is really annyoing and I REALLY hate that panda and both grappler.
I've never heard of this game before so boy am I confused The cell shading on the characters looks alright but everything is so.... budget. Like to a distracting degree. Is this based on anything?
Yeah, it's a very indie project. It's based on Yomi, which is a card game that tried to replicate Street Fighter (literally: Sirlin, the creator, approached Capcom to make it a licensed product, but when they said no, he invented the Fantasy Strike roster). Fantasy Strike is the fighting game of the card game simulating another fighting game, and I suspect there wasn't a lot of money involved, and the character designs weren't super great to begin with. It grows on you tho, especially while in combat. Something about the moment the camera approaches makes the cell shading look worse than while in movement. Card game is pretty good too, there are quite a few card games simulating fighting games and Yomi is still probably the best one, followed by Battlecon.
I think all Sirlin Games are connected I hope the Characters seen in those games make it here. Like the chronal races Geiger's made contact with! Or the anarchist so he wrecks that smug Quince! I vote for DeGrey! Or whoever he trusts... XD
Steam, PS4, and Switch. Console versions are a little rough right now due to some bugs that snuck in, but the devs are working on getting those patched out. Unfortunately that can take a few weeks for approval.
@@theblazingace3537 It's very hard to to get a top 10 rank in this game. It can actually be pretty brutal and demoralizing just like in other fighting games.
Its really fun to watch you play because you're using characters that I sometimes struggle fighting against. Especially Arg. But what really turns me salty is Lum... Fuck that panda. Seriously.
@@Aelf1239 i really doubt you did an actual TOD on ROOK. He has the highest health in the game. I think the most onimaru can do in AN ACTUAL combo is probably 6 health. You might have gotten a perfect on rook, but no TOD.
@@michaelmccoy1794 It was an unlikely scenario that will never happen in a real battle, but it was something like this: droids were summoned, Rook was near the wall jumping and did that moai-like drop. I had whiffed the first B special but hit the B follow-up as counter hit, so Rook wall bounced. I was able to hit B and B follow-up due to the droids keeping him in the air. I dont remember the right order (everything happened fast), but i think the B follow-up was the last hit. Every B hit was 2 damage and the droids did the other 2. 5 hits, 8 damage. I was playing on ps4 but i always forget the share function (new ps4 user here), a mistake i regret.

im just sad that their is only 2 rushdown type characters an grappler yet 4 zoners 🤔 Edit: btw I do not hate this game or anything negative I fucking love it fuck graphics it's mechanic, gameplay an netcode I love with cool characters. This is just my opinion on what I find funny. Some hate zoners but it makes some gameplay more fun just saying.
I do respect your opinion but that is what the “Wild Card” is kinda for. Wild card characters possess a mix between those play styles while still retaining their own gameplan and style.
Sigh......this game is like Street Fighter 2. No disrespect intended at all by this but....if you don't understand the rules of that one game, you won't do well in this game. Stop throwing out random jabs like that is footsies. Calculate your attacks and your pressure and gauge your opponent. That one fight against that guy that is high ranked....you could have won but you kept just throwing out stuff for the sake of having stuff on the screen. You will never get a good player to make a mistake like that. Notice how calm and patient his play was....he picked you apart a body blow at a time. You counter that by counter poking and then wait on his reaction. Don't always give in because you think it's your turn because it could be a setup to get you to drop your guard. Sorry for the rant....I have played fighting games for far too long....I don't understand the mindset behind certain decisions is all. In any case, GGs to you. I do enjoy watching now...even though I am critical.
Aww Jeez it’s essentially babies first fighting game. The creators said there’s either really simple games like dropkick or really complex fighting games like streetfighter , tekken etc. I was just thinking of how this game would be perfect to get my sibling into fighting games
FYI the rank 5 player is from Poland, so it goes to show how good the netcode is in this game.
@@HapHazardouss03 What about the connection? Netcode can't magically make ping due to distance less.
