Super DBZ is more of an 3D fighter than had 2D inputs for specials. Like Akuma in Tekken. The game suffers from Tekken 4 stage syndrome.

The Kill la Kill: IF arena fighter is the most competitive game of its type, to the point of having a competitive mod in ongoing development that makes it easier to run on weaker computers and makes the story-exclusive characters real, among other things. It's a lot closer to a normal anime airdasher in terms of speed, mechanics, and combo length than any other arena fighter, there is no split screen camera, and it only takes like three minutes to fully unlock the small roster. Kill la Kill: IF is up there with Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy as an arena fighter I can point to as proving the formula works for fun, competitive play.

Braum looks glorious! I loved that thumbnail in Max's video hahaha

The lack of anime arena knowledge hurts me so much lol No mention of Spike, Byking and the Kill La Kill struggle 😭

F. Yagami is a legend himself! TFG been around since 2001! He is the reason I got into fighting games. i'm so glad you guys got him on the podcast! Go blow up his Steve videos and go follow him on Twitch! 🤙

MVC4 4V4 😮

There was a Metal Slug character (I think Fio) in KOF2000 as a Striker as well.

Jm crafts is awesome you should have him on

Jm crafts is awesome you should have him on

42:00 as a league player for 10+ years, them being obvlious to these awesome characters is very entertaining XD Vladimir is who justin wants to name, and Samira is who Max wants in this game. Samira is extremely likely to be added in, as she would be the "dante" of this game. 43:40 The "Sentinal" of this game would be Malphite: The "biggest" scaled character in league. He's litteraly a mountain lol. Nautilus would be my best guess though, as a he is a titan goliath with an anchor, a very common pick in most metas.

I love the JWong, YIPES duo.

8ing made the very good Clash of Ninja series for Naruto on GameCube and Wii with TOMY, however the game you were think of was Ultimate Ninja which was made by CyberConnect22 and i yhink they had hands in it before they were called that. 8ing honestly couldve had hands in Ultimate Ninja too ngl it has their dna all over it but i dont know as much about this series

this was such a great episode. please give us the Yipes special before the MvC collection!

I STILL feel the OST doesn't fit with MvC2. I was there DAY ONE when we got the Naomi kit in the arcade I was managing. When it booted up, I loved the characters, the chaotic gameplay, etc. But to this very day, and I know I'm alone on this hill to die on, I still don't like the original soundtrack with MvC2 🤷🏻‍♂️

Warframe's fighting minigame can be accessed anytime but yeah it's still there

I remember the final boss thing they were talking about happened in Tekken 7 and it was fun as hell

i think a major One Piece game would be on hold until the series’ final stretch can be seen so that the dlc could contain the end.

how about an arena/anime fighters epidose? FT. GuileWinQuote

So about rosters favorites, I'll admit to getting a little salty anytime my boy Shingo Yabuki gets snubbed but really I used to get more upset about character overhauls then anything else. For instance Lin, also from KoF, was my edgelord of choice then he got basically a complete do over and was essentially a different guy. That was worse to me, at the time, then when he got cut outright. Or the way so many MvC2 characters had to be massively reworked to even function with only four buttons. There are two things that happened that made me change my tune and I'll never complain about a roster again; First - NetherRealm. Their no sacred cows approach to sequels, it turns out, is something I actually love. It really proved to me that even if you think certain characters "always" have to be there, or that characters "have to" play a certain way, well, you're wrong. It had been done on a case by case basis before, guys like Kyo or Jin Kazama for example, but NR doesn't give a F'. They'll 100% change their most iconic characters game to game. And it's fine. New game, new you. Second - Honestly this is the big one. They put Shuma Gorath in MvC3. WTF. My friends couldn't believe it. My #1 low tier, beloved, pet character, freako. I can never complain again simply because I already won. I got mine. Everything else on is just gravy. I hope you all get yours someday.

i think max is so on point with the mk community

I love fighters generation! I'm so excited for MvC collection.

That was fun, you guys should advertise this more

Where's footage of the new buster wolf?

On the topic of 2XKO, I wonder what these three would think of Samira who is basically League's Dante character. She would be a hugely cool character for a fighting game.

I refunded MK1 because it shipped so busted, and any drive I had to re-purchase it just died after that.

Thanks Matt for sharing the 1v1 question. I'm one of those who hate the kameo system and just want 1v1, along with all my acquaintances who play fighting games. We're old school MK fans who never really cared about the competitive aspect, and I believe we're part of a big chunk of the actual MK audience. Kameos are OK as a new gimmick, but we just want Mortal Kombat to be Mortal Kombat, mano a mano, one versus one like it always was. I get that it may be boring for more competitive-minded players, but that's not the case for us. Right now I'm not even considering getting season 2 of MK content, but if a 1v1 option is added, I'll pick the game back up for sure.

I’ll play the LoL fighting game if Pyke is in it

Max is laying on that MvC2 Twitch Rivals tease real thick.

Sajam Slam is the best FGC Content Model for tournaments IMO. I think Justin should do closer to that

Bleach could lean more towards 3d fighter with some Arena fighter rather than full Arena Fighter.

TOMINAGA COMING TO EVO?!?!? I'M GETTING FRONT ROW SEATS

13:02 Yes, this whole thing about cutting away from the game too early is a huge problem in Smash Ultimate. When the red kill screen flashes, it doesn't automatically mean the attack killed, but if production thinks it killed, you'll be left stuck watching the players for 5 seconds while the game is still going, and they have to cut back. The popoff meta has gone a bit too far, I'd say

Kill la Kill

Anime games: Is it a fighter? Do you hold down a button to charge your <insert anime trope like chakra>? Is it Dynasty Warriors but with <anime team>? Yeah? Always is.

Capcom already knows people like Makoto in theory. What I wonder is if Tominaga will give the SF6 crowd second thoughts about letting the demon child anywhere near them.

I was almost certain they hadnt mentioned KI this episode and boom hits me at with the KI 12 minutes left

Someone should clip Max live chicken bet and send it to City of the Wolves developers. Not because I want to see Ken in that game, I want Max to lay a fcking live chicken on stream

That Marvel 2 Twitch Rivals should have Chris Matrix and Neo commentary.

You not knowing who she's friends with is hilarious. She's gonna be just fine lol.

Also consider this: Anna was among the many hidden sub bosses in the earlier Tekken games (specifically 1 and 2) and she was a pallet swap of Nina. Just like Alex, Prototype Jack, will never precede their counterparts, Jack and Roger respectively. All that said though, some of these sub boss characters have had significant character development over time (Lee, Kuma and Panda) and I could see Anna at the very least dropping at the same time as Nina in a future game.

Thank God,ceo is leaving daytona🎉

Ceo 2024 was so good, especially BBCF grands It was also nice that i got Justin to sign my big ass star

I agree that 2XKO will have a smaller launch roster, but one thing that is worth noting is that the official website has 18 slots for characters. They could absolutely be placeholders, or even open slots for DLC though.

45:20 Yes it did! It felt like playing Street Fighter 1. But slower. It was a neat novelty to play outside of the MMO grinding and I'm glad that it's there, but nothing I'd go out of my way to play again.

Maybe 2XKO haven't announced any non-humanoids yet because they're struggling to make them look presentable in the graphical style and engine. I would LOVE Cho'Gath as a huge body character.

Slight correction on the Kill La Kill: If developer, while ArcSys did publish it, it was actually dev’d by A+ Games. We technically still have yet to see what ArcSys proper could do in the arena fighter space.

Zed will be Max's character.

I really hope that they reveal Vi or Jinx at Evo. Arcane Season Two is coming soon and what better way to get everyone hyped than to put the two main characters in 2XKO.

I was pretty salty about no playable Heihachi. lol

Hilarious ya'll talked about Sleet Fighter! I'm a huge Dota fan so them putting that in as a little easter egg game mode made me laugh. Also made it so I can chuckle (all in fun) and be like "Look at Riot following in Dota's footsteps again!" haha
