I've been looking at videos that have been coming out, and... I'm not too crazy about the game. A lot of the characters don't move like I expect them to. It seems like they picked the wrong people to do the mocapping... There's no power. You don't see that smooth, full-body movement, the weight shifting, hip-turning explosiveness. It's very "floaty".
(Funny thing, Akira doesn't have that problem. The baji practitioner they got for him does it quite well, but I suppose AM2 can afford to do that.)
but they can't afford new voice recordings for this game???
Also, most of the fighters are women, and not particularly violent, malicious ones, so my suspension of disbelief fades in and out.
Seriously, Hitomi saying a cute little "osu!" after a combo... reminds you that it's a game. A game from Japan, at that.
(I believe the technical term is that it "breaks immersion".)
But!big butt!
I am pretty sure I am saying all of this drivel because I have just been watching terrible players! I know it takes masters of the craft to
make a game look good!
Youtube is full of garbage! And I can't find a video thread on FSD! And the Media section of the website isn't poppin' right now!
So! If you find some exciting gameplay with strong players, please post it in the thread!
I won't allow Youtube mashers to color my experiences with this game any longer!
I'm gonna go over to
PeacefulJay's stream now and see if there's anything good...
