No you can't cancel dashes with anything.
Then just use the word bad if you like, then give me even two reasons why the reuse of your own preexisting material in you next product is bad.
I don't know about you, but when I think of a video game, I think of it as not just a game, but as an art form, just like painting a picture, writing a poetry, or directing a movie. Part of the challenge when creating art is making something fresh, being original. You just to don't reuse the same concepts over and over again, your portfolio will become stale. It's no different here.
But concepts are reused in just about every fighting game. Even then they still change it up so it looks nice, and a little bit of recycling doesn't compare to the rest of the game.
I wonder if you can plink dash in this. Instead of the normal wave dash which is crouch canceling to get rapid dashes some guys would tap heavy for folks like Haggar who have god awful wave dashes. The heavy would cancel the dash into the attack and the next dash would cancel out the attack from coming out. In some games only certain attack normals will cancel a dash and it gives those characters a plink dash. The rhythm is more piano like than down mash heavy like a wave dash and it take more timing because you might accidently throw an attack that'll get blown up if you get too excited and botch the dash cancel on it.
So, you are actually saying ten. no, lets go 20. . no fuck it, 50 reused animations in a game of thousands makes it in any way stale or not fresh and original? You are the worst art critic ever.
Thousands of animations? All Im going off of is what I see in trailers and the short game play clips. If you watch a movie trailer, or a short movie clip and noticed the director reusing same scenes, lines, etc from a previous film, are you going to say, well this is only 10 minutes of the movie 2 hour? Maybe Im just pessimistic but Im going to say, damn this is just 10 minutes of the movie and Im already seeing reused concepts. Until I see the whole game, I can only base it off what they have presented us with.
TRUTH. There's only so much you can do with martial arts before you start coming up with ludicrous stuff which has no place in a serious fighting game like Injustice..
Ahem. This is a game based on comic book characters. One of whom has mastered over 100 different martial art styles. Don't bring "serious" into this.
I mean not having crazy shit like that nun in Skullgirls.
Being a martial artist and an ex pro wrestler I will say this. There is a BIG difference between stuff that looks cool and functional martial arts. A lot of the scariest shit and most useful stuff in martial arts doesn't look flashy. However, I can tell you from my time learning to put over spots and moves for crowds in wrestling that flashy moves can easily start to blur together. Its all about loud angles, splaying out limbs wide to make moves look bigger, and angles of attack. A lot of stuff starts looking similar using that principle and comic book action USES THAT PRINCIPLE.
And this is exactly why I do not go to tournaments, or watch "pro-players". They are BORING AS HELL!
Lol. Ok. There's a strategy involved, button mashing isn't really that exciting either.
Strategy or not, it is still boring and very soporific(especially when there is a "footsies" match). And button mashing can be quite entertaining, especially when the other player tries to rush in and they keep getting hit by random attacks. You can almost feel their rage lol.
Yeah and their combos are accidental, small and any clutch hit confirm they get they drop resulting in a loss of hype to watch. Its a non stop letdown or rage at the monitor moment for me to see matches like that.
You say that, I say: rich story mode with hours and hours of cutscenes.
You say that, I say: online-practice mode and maybe even other new multiplayer modes + supposedly improved online play.
You say that, I say: cross ups, frame data and a new easy way to balance the game without forcing you to download patches.
Wooow watch out, we got someone with genius level intelligence over here!
They have presented us with TONS of 100% new material, and maybe 4 reused animations and you call them lazy. You are the worst critic ever.
Yeah you pretty much said exactly what I said lol. They copied moves but that doesnt take away from all the cool stuff they are adding.
