hey just wanted to thank you for introducing me to duels of fortune. I see great potential in the game and downloaded it

If you're looking for another obscure fighting game you should battle craze it's honestly really fun and has a pretty sizeable roster of characters each with 3 different variations to them

9:33 this mfer rocking the yoshikage kira rip

Have a look at 52BeatUp. It's got an early build on itch, but it'll likely release at some point this year with like double the roster and some new stuff added. I had a great time with it - it's got the 'roguelite progression' system from the game Points, but in a fighting game, so every round you lose lets you pick a whole aspect of your character to completely rework or new moves to access.

the game looks so damn fun though

I did notice that and in the clip where I talk about the install move, I show it off in kind of a goofy way. I probably should have mentioned it as it certainly makes things interesting. But thank you so much for your comment!!! it really means so much! Your game is super sick and if you guys work on future projects, you have to let me know.

PLEASE UPDATE THE GAME ITS BEEN A YEAR

Oh cool. I’ll consider that for the next video :)

yeah and johnson is a clone of Q from Street Fighter

the collab list dlc [which is free as well and that is pretty insane with the amount of work andrea put in] is an interesting list of other lesser known fighting games. I knew i was in for it when i saw the ultra fight da collab

One of my only regrets for this video is not properly delving into DoF as much as I should have. There were definitely some things that I unfortunately missed.

Thanks for the information!! I probably should’ve taken more time to explore DoF’s mechanics so I’m glad you explained them.

@@magariFGC I do understand the air drift thing but the game is actually fairly built around it or gives characters ways to deal with zoners or other forward moving tools as well to keep pressure on. (Annie is still one of the better characters though because of the stun grenade) but with this new update she'll probably be more easily to deal with since they'll be giving projectiles durability which means they can finally be destroyed. But in all, DoF is actually one of the better free indie games because you can tell they care about fighting games and have their way to express it.

Schwarzerblitz also seems like a good candidate for a video. There's also Ultra Fight Da ! Kyanta 2, but it's not that obscure (a bit more than 1000 reviews on Steam)

he actually has a color based on Kung Fu Man too

But about the story of how it was created, now that gets interesting. Dual souls is actually a remake of Slahers: The Power Battle, which is a mobile game that is a sequel to Dual Blades. Dual Blades is a *Turkish* indie fg released on the *gameboy advance* , and one of the 5 gba games with M rating. The game also have an Arcade, training, survival, score attack, time attack and a *combo challenge / tutorial for a gba* and *A COMMAND LIST THAT EXPLAINS ALL SPECIALS AND UNIVERSAL MECHANICHS* , something that other gba fgs such as ggx, sfa3 and tekken didnt had for the console (and even other consoles). About the gameplay most characters have simple inputs shuch as in Akatsuki, with them being quarter circles, down down, foward down and back foward (but they're not charge moves). The buttons are slash (kinda like a medium slash from sam sho, that you can do a 3 frame jab if you input foward too), big slash ( heavy slash, also grab foes if you press foward while close), kick ( a medium attack that if you input foward will be a 3 frame kick too) and the power button. The power button is special because if you tap two times you do a taunt that gains meter, and if you press power + slash you do an overhead. Also all supers are done with this button. The gimmicks of this game are pretty intersting too, let me explain. There is a parry in this game that works exactly like sf3, input foward before getting hit (that is called block, because the game calls standart blocking guarding for some reason). Recovery, the roman cancel is done by pressing both slash + big slash while perfoming a move ( and costs some meter ). The burst is called breaker and is done by pressing back + slash + big slash while taking damage (costs a full meter bar). You can dash and back dash by pressing one of the side buttons two times. Now the plot and characters are very unique in my opinion. The setting is a more *realistic take of the middle age* , but unhapply i didnt finished the arcade mode yet. The cast is composed of: Kanae and Brendan are the shotos with all the toolkit of one and command grabs. She is a samurai wanting revenge and he is an adventurer who loves danger (His motto is nothing venture nothing gain) and simps for all women in the game. Andre is a templar knight who is also a parry/ big body and maybe a grappler ( he is slow and have a follow up to his throw ). His taunt also throw a rose like dudley, and is a insanely good projectile. He fights to save his kingdom from the lizard people. Efe is an ottoman warrior and a zoner with his high low mixup of projectiles. He fights for Türkiye as far as I know. Rungard is also a zoner who cant dash but have a special teleport. He have fire, eletric and ice projectiles that give you unfair hit stun (he is a psycho who wants to destroy the world, thats it). He is based in a viking/ celtic sorcerer probaly. Shin is a rushdown zoner with the most damaging and safest projectile in the game, its insane diagonal range is impossible to jump or crouch over it. To his design he is green testament who uses crows who loves the blood of a slit throat and people screaming ☠️ (Not even The Boys have that shi ) Nagashapa is an elderly Mongolian sorceress and farmer, who give you all kind of curses like no jump, no specials and backwards controller. She uses ghosts for those attacks. And we have Jaman, one of the lizard man that attacks Andre's kingdom. He looks like a mix between an armadillo, akuma and blanca and plays exactly like those with the exception of summoning lizards for his attacks (also a 1 frame active overhead aimed at the foe). Well, that its Dual Blades for today. A lot of changes happened between Dual Blades and Dual Souls, but theyre all for better, like Ex moves, easier parry and a blowback guard cancel (Except for Kanae who lost her projectile and grab ☹️ )

wow 😮 I’ll definitely consider it for the next video

Honestly I only thought about background audio after I published it unfortunately. But thank you for the feedback!!

@@magariFGC Keep it up, this is a good video

other people have explained that there is and I just didn’t realize

there’s going to be a sequel?????

thank you for the suggestion!!

Unfortunately the game was started almost 10 years ago and it's custom coded so it's basically impossible for it to be added due to it. It's why it's primary focus is on the single player content with mission mode and an upcoming story mode, and unlockable costumes for the entire cast.

that’s so interesting. I briefly looked at the sonic game and am considering it for the next video lol

Thank you so much for your comment!! Your game is so cool and I genuinely really like it! I’m so excited for it to be updated

i very much want to do so. it’s just a lot of work. but i fully intend to anyhow

@@magariFGC fuck yea

if no unique mechanic, just cool visuals and music would suffice

okay good to know LMAO

that's very interesting. I will be considering it for the next video!

honestly i'm super grossed out by MK and I kinda forgot it exists since I avoid it as much as I can

nah mortal kombat should have been seen. It's a huge influence to fighting games in general. Just cause you dont like the new one doesnt mean mortal kombat is bad

@@magariFGC mortal kombat is awesome. It's a celebration of 80s martial arts films and martial arts in general. Thats how it started and it really shows in the original arcade games and in the story animations, fighting animations and idle stance of mk11 and the new mk. oh my bad i just realized you might be saying ur grossed out cause of the gore lol. I thought you were being like the fgc sheep that just hate the new mk and saying ur grossed out because its "a bad fighting game"

no yeah i have no opinion on the gameplay itself. i'm just very sensitive to gore and therefore do not play it lol

@@magariFGC yeah my bad

someone else mentioned that too. i should have played that but ultimately i did not

@@magariFGC it goes wild. also i love how the protagonist is basically just order kyo from snk

i wouldn't know lmao. guilty gear is the only one i keep up with

just looked it up, I have tried a Touhou fighting game but I am not sure if it's that exact one.

have you considered guilty gear xrd rev 2

@@magariFGC arent there on steam 2 version, 1 deluxe version with additional characters?

@@magariFGC if not im gonna get that game right away

@@magariFGC oh nevermind, these are just color changes for characters. Ty so much for the rec, its probably the perfect game for me and im gonna get that one. Just in case do u know some others too? If not directly, irrelevant cus this is literally what i asked for. Ty alot ;)

@@xzarexx4543 accent core is also really good and still to this day is the preferred guilty gear entry for many, blazblue centralfiction (except for 1 or 2 dlc characters). Most Arc Sys games that are like 10+ years old don't really have DLC and still have decent communities

like what lol

@@magariFGC why is your name just the word "maybe" in italian? what's the lore?

its my favorite word! it technically doesn't just mean 'maybe' as it specifically has a positive connotation, more like 'hopefully.' (I'm a linguistics student in college and I'm also studying Italian)

​@@magariFGC so it's like "ojalá" in spanish, wich means something like "if God's willing"

@@magariFGC I KNOW IT IS, I'M ITALIAN THATS WHY I ASKED!! us italians are EXTREMELY prideful of being represented overseas it's like in our blood or something
