It's really polished but yeah, I don't know if it has LEGS.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of strategy to playing it. That could develop once people gain experience though.

 

[Tendo]

Heelix my boy

 

[Benzychenz]

I dislike the whole party feel, I want to fight 1 on 1 not a three FFA or volleyball, after this hour is up I doubt i'll play the other tests over the weekend.

The game is fun, just feels like a party game somewhat to me.

Go back to the main menu and look at the name of the mode that is available.

 

[Rodin]

Volleyball is amazing😂😂

 

[Mariolee]

Moving is probably the most frustrating but once you get the hang of it this is so fun.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

You guys need to stop making definitive statements based in your first time playing the game. It's embarrassing. We can't say anything about long term viability of any of the characters or control schemes after fucking 35 mins

 

[Nocturnowl]

Just gave the game a good 30 minutes play, finished on a perfect win for that high note.

I can get behind this, I would've liked to try motion controls but I'm using the console in handheld mode as opposed to boiling up in my room throwing fists.
Really seems to have a solid basic formula down, a fighter that takes a more direct route at its core to just land your blows with the gimmicks coming into play on a simpler but much more variable scale.
Gave every character a go, the arms themselves seem like the greater variables but I may be wrong.

After Mario Kart's online being a bit of a jumble I was really surprised by how fluid the party lobby idea was in getting you in to the action with no fuss.
Volleyball had more to it than I expected, it's a nice diversion from the fights but even so, it can't come close to a hard fought matchup.

 

[Cody_D165]

I'm impressed... enjoying the game much more than I thought I would. There's some interesting stuff to be had. I don't think it's shallow at all actually as far as 1v1 goes. I'm intrigued enough to pre-order.

 

[Gila Moo]

Yeah, after testing both motion control and pro controller for a few matches I gotta go with the pro controller being way more comfortable for me to control.

 

[truestatic]

I have no concept of what I'm doing.

 

[NotLiquid]

Holy shit how's it almost already gone 40 minutes

This is way more fun than I ever expected

 

[Kade]

The modes that rely on objects like Volleyball are really bad when it lags. I don't know if it looked like this to my opponent but they were just standing back pretty much doing nothing and the ball was just flying to my side of the court and would explode mid-flight, giving them a point.

I PERFECT someone.

Yeah, I've got a couple perfects now. Game's new and I feel a lot of people don't grasp the concept of each action being a counter (grab beats block/whiff, etc.) so a lot of the players are really easy to abuse lol.

 

[Steiner]

Lol @ everyone giving advice to others to avoid the motion controls.

 

[careksims]

Kicking butt with the motion controls. Certainly will go into practice mode once this game comes out.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I can't be stopped. I just started. What's going on?

 

[trixx]

This game is really confusing to play and 3 player is hella dumb.

Also volleyball????? Wtf was that?

Man idk how can this even be played competitively? Will people be consistent? There's too little options.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I PERFECT someone.

Same.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I don't get it yet but I'm having fun trying to learn.

Welcome to anything with motion controls on this forum.

 

[Dark Ninja]

The alternate colors are really nice I hope they add a ton of them.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

For some reason, my right joycon just stopped interacting with the system. It was still on and had a good charge, but none of the inputs worked.

Spoiler

I beat someone using just my left fist.

 

[octopiggy]

Still can't figure out how to change who you're looking at with motion controls.

 

[sanstesy]

My ARMS hurt, jesus. I put too much weight behind my punches.

 

[SeanR1221]

I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Will play tomorrow and Sunday for sure. It's fun and you can easily take advantage of everyone just tossing out punches haphazardly.

 

[kuroneko0509]

already tired after 30 mins lol. I guess this game is good for some daily exercise

 

[Kicko]

Why am I not surprised there's people here struggling and hating motion controls? Never change GAF lol.

 

[Bobo Dakes]

I'd have to spend an hour plus in training mode or could just redo the tutorial over and over right now because I can't get movement down and everyone I've played online has destroyed me.

 

[Boogiepop]

Okay, is there some kind of trickery to moving properly with motion controls? I can't actually move for crap unless it clicks into non-motion and lets me use the stick. Really wish that it would just let me use the sticks and motion controls together... then again, maybe I'm doing it wrong? Same for "guard" seemingly launching grabs 90% of the time. I'm sure I'm doing something horribly off, as this doesn't feel right at all...

 

[AquaWateria]

I can't be stopped. I just started. What's going on?

Playing against noobs lol.

 

[Effect]

Don't really like switching the targets in the three way fights and the 2v2 fights are just way to chaotic. Really enjoying the 1v1 and the V-ball fights though. I haven't found motion to be a problem at all in the 1v1 fights. Going to try the controller soon though.

 

[essenn]

3 player matches are terrible. What the hell were they thinking

 

[Cody_D165]

3 player matches are terrible. What the hell were they thinking

Yeah two people just pile one guy every time

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Playing against noobs lol.

I actually had an intense match against a Ninjara.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Guys, use DASHES for movement. They're much better than walking IMO

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Change target in 1v1v1 etc is up on the d-buttons or right stick.

 

[titiklabingapat]

I'm very good as Ribbon girl. I like grabbing, apparently.

 

[RRockman]

Day -1 purchase

 

[The Giant]

My ARMS hurt, jesus. I put too much weight behind my punches.

Are you actually throwing punches or flicking your wrists like your mean't to be?

 

[foxuzamaki]

It's really polished but yeah, I don't know if it has LEGS.

Well duh, that's how this works

 

[HardRojo]

My brain is still trying to process all the information it is receiving lol. I find myself trying to move the camera somehow and turning to move my character, I'm sure it'll be much better once I'm past that. So far I like it but I don't see it being that much of a competitive game, great for mad fun though.

 

[trixx]

One thing is you need to use the joy cons vertically.

Grabs are annoying, it's very hard to react like wtf

I can only see this being exercise for me to be honest

 

[Mediking]

Really glad this reconfirmed to buy the game day one. Very fun and hype. Very happy for this new IP.

 

[1upmuffin]

2 questions

1. How do you switch targets?

2. How do you fast drop as Ribbon Girl?

Thanks!

EDIT: Found the answers in game, sorry.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

The game is suprisingly good in portable mode just using the stick to curve.

 

[-shadow-]

How do you change targets when using motion controls? I saw some people saying flick the stick but that doesn't work with motion controls.

Up button on the left joy-con. Had this problem myself also. It's a terribly placed choice.

 

[AquaWateria]

3 player matches are terrible. What the hell were they thinking

I mean its optional.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Yeah two people just pile one guy every time

And that's usually me. I'd rather have another 2 v 2 mode than 1 v 1 v 1.

 

[tootie923]

This game is a whole lot better with button inputs. Motion controls are out for me. I can't do it.

I was doing pretty well in some matches with the Pro controller. Motion controls never really work right for me.

 

[schuelma]

So I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious but cannot figure out to move to save my life. Playing motion controls.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I am liking it quite a bit, but I'm not enamoured with it yet. I actually did better with motion controls than buttons.
