Pretty dang decent little indie fighting game. Aesthetic is on-point, love the flat colors and smooth animation. Reminds me of Samurai Jack. Music fits well, but I kinda wish there was more than the few minimistic tracks currently offered. Mechanics are rock-solid, emphasizing spacing (footsies galore) and cancelling out of any move using a special meter in a very similar way to a SFIV FADC. Unfortunately the community's pretty small, despite the GGPO rollback, and there's very few characters and even fewer stages. Hoping they continue work on it, I'd love to see this stylish little fighter get popular in the future.

One of the best fighting games I've ever played. The GGPO netcode allows for smooth gameplay from the East Coast to Europe (and apparently America to Korea), great balancing, awesome and tight-knit community, and somehow managed to perfectly strike the balance between easy to learn, hard to master game mechanics with the time cancel stuff. Combos are super free form with the DTC and JTC mechanics, and the juggle point system incentivizes the player to try new things in their combos. The only real gripe I have with the game at this point is that there aren't too many characters out as of May 2021, although there are more to come.



another major gripe is that i suck and gat makes me cry
