@Yagi_183 ハッピーエンド

@pink_clemonade_ @Heutnitra Locking out 75% of a character's kit behind invisible mechanics isn't fun.

[Eden @EdenRivals]

Gave Floorhug 2 another honest chance. This game is confused down to its bonemarrow. I used to clip things like this as a for-instance of how bad the game "can" be, but this shit happened every other stock. Nothing satisfying, only mystery boxes of incoherent mechanics.

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@SevenThomsen The release of Rivals 2 is the biggest ragebait of them all. What a disappointing game

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@PLUSH_WITCH Didn't even know perfect shield did anything until it was explained to me. And even then it (and all the other 50 defensive mechanics) are inferior to holding down so why bother

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@isthatvark Why is there an RNG factor that needs to be eroded in a fighting game

[Eden @EdenRivals]

I want to like this game so much, keep giving it chances and keeping tabs on updates, but after today might need to tune it out. Ran out of hopium when the only adjustment made to floorhug was some random number change from 27 > 26. It's a bad mechanic, everyone kind of knows it.

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@Ryukred It's a mystery how this game can barely scratch 600 concurrent anymore

[Eden @EdenRivals]

Legitimate question, how come everything is way slower in Rivals 2 when the game is inherently slower with the addition of shields

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@0Lightrunner0 The game has so much more defensive depth than it needs with how laggy every move is. You have already have movement, parry, shield, ledge invuln, CC, floorhug, teching, tech rolling, rolling, getup attacks, etc.

[Eden @EdenRivals]

I've been playing platfighters for 10 years, and at a high level for a few of them. Rivals 2 is the only game where me hitting someone seems to regularly get me punished. Every interaction feels like a feverdream.

I want to like Rivals 2 so bad but it just has so many issues.

どんな論争が起ころうが誰一人としてR2がR1より面白いって言わないの面白いな

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@Yagi_183 Agreed.

[Eden @EdenRivals]

@CONEY You may have won neutral multiple times at kill%, but I held down and licked my A button better gg shake my hand.

Melee needs to unironically end.

[Eden @EdenRivals]

Rivals 1 balance to a strong move:
Hey, why don't we make other moves which do the same thing just as strong in a different way? Let's be creative to keep everything feeling good.

Rivals 2 balance to a strong move:
idk add endlag lol

[Eden @EdenRivals]

Rivals 2 has a good foundation but plays like sludge.

Losing hope that the dev team improves anything. I don't like the game's direction at all.

We were told for years Clairen had to be laggy in R1 because there's no shields. Now with shields, *everyone* is just as laggy. Uh ok
