Correction @TeamKhrisPlays , I’m THEE BEST DRESSED Fighting Game Player of ALL TIME !!! Dare anyone to contest it lol. I have been setting trends and leading the way in fashion in the FGC since I stepped in at B5 2001 & the first @EVO at EVO 2002 💯 I guess I do have an edge being a rapper, dj, stylist, & brand ambassador over the years 😂

This indie team is making a fighting game where you play as 80s/90s inspired action figures

- Air combos, launchers, EX moves and super attacks
- Rollback netcode for smooth online play
- Nostalgic stages packed with retro easter eggs

It's called Knock Off. Would you play this?
