Rising Thunder - new PC, UE4, Free-to-Play fighter from Seth Killian

Yes, but they could have an option to map it to two buttons as well. Most FG's already do this. It's not like they want keyboard to be the only way you play

I bet they'll do as much in the future. RT has a lot of ground to tread when it comes to usability. I long for grab just being X and A at the same time.
 
I can see how the controls might be so-so for a controller, but I think they work fantastically with a keyboard. And now, I'm picturing hardcore competitors bringing their own keyboards to EVO. :)
 
I've finally been able to level up and reach Silver Tier V. I wasn't able to get out of the Carbon Tier I because of the disconnection problems. So glad that the netcode is working really well and I have yet to experience a laggy match and this is just the Alpha! GGPO3 is the future!
 
Turns out, even when specials are reduced to one button, I'm still shocking at fighting games

I dunno. The first time I tired RT, I went in cold with Edge and a Chel player just endlessly combed me to death. Couldn't block her lows etc. I figured it out in training after that, but that was a rough introduction. Felt like Marvel.

As it is right now, RT seems more about waiting and punishing everyone who wants to hit buttons in every situation. Wakeup dp punish is king.
 
Here's two codes for anyone that wants to give it a go (all my friends already have codes or aren't interested lol)

Oh my god, I used the first one and I could claim it! Thanks! :D
 
The dmg Dauntless does is pitiful vs the rest of the cast. I just started messing around with Edge and he can pull off 30-40% combos with ease. His slide doesnt seem that unsafe either oddly enough

Pretty sure his slide is a free throw on block. Not 100% though.

Dauntless has a lot of tools that he doesn't need extreme combos, the ones he has does plenty of damage and can setup for resets.
 
I have a spare code, so anyone that quotes this post and says they want a code gets it.

But I mean, compared to chell who also has a lot of tools, but much more damaging combos it just sucks to see your health get eviscerated in 3 combos, while it takes a number for you to do the same. Almost like Im playing Yang again...
 
Dauntless feels like you need to work twice as hard to get the same results as Edge/Chel/Vlad.

Her moves are really good, but you gotta land so many hits for it to matter.

Dauntless has way superior normals than Chel, great throw setups and throw combos, and his super is like free damage. The B&Bs I use with him are also decent damage with no meter needed, what are you using?

That said he took more time to start getting wins with than Chel.

I use revolving hook, so I dont get high dmg midscreen. mid I go low strong into rush punch, or extend it after with strong, fierce, rush punch. close up ill do some lights into her dp.

Im just salty though man, dont mind me. :p

Ah ya, I could see the damage sucking with revolving unless you burn meter. I don't like it myself :( Though might change my tune if people start punishing blocked cold drills.
 
Are people using sticks with this? I'd love to but my freaking stick only has 6 buttons so I can't fit all the actions in :|

Keyboard.

WASD to move
4, 5, 6 on numpad for normals
1, 2, 3 on numpad for specials
0 on numpad for throw
spacebar for super

I know the defaults, I switched to a 360 pad because I hate using keyboard even if the controls are decent for it. Just sad I can't put throws and supers on a key combo so I can keep rocking my stick, just used to it for fighting games :|

I only use it because it makes her rush punch a bit safer. I should just switch to the other variant.
 
God damn my sodium levels for edge are hitting critical mass.

If you play Edge and you've ever lost to Talos, quit gaming forever it isn't for you.

Turned it on and found out they gave edge a fireball. Why? He was already a beast.
Now i am having an even harder time as Talos.
 
So what do you guys think the dev cycle is going to be like? Alpha till November and then public beta with a summer release to coincide with EVO? Perhaps earlier in the spring to let people get hype for EVO?
 
I mean it's not like he had a big enough advantage v talos, had to give him a ranged attack that breaks through armor kick
