Where the fuck is the porn

A moment of silence for the previous thread, eaten by a fat jew in a fit of rage.

>>15157900

>Early access

>literally who characters

>shill OP

Why would I want to play this game over any Smash game?

>>15157900

Just wait until the icons thread is dead or you'll keep getting reports from autists

Too many Waifus in the roster

>>15157952

I won't be getting any reports, Mark is the one who gets them.

>>15157908

>starts thread with "fellow /v/edditors"

>blames the jew when his thread gets deleted

Quit making me defend Mark, you fuck.

You should have waited until the Icons thread fell off, and made a less awful OP. Suggestions for next time:

>mention that Ludosity games characters + Business Casual Man are the roster; most people have never heard of Ittle Dew or Card City Knights or Space Hunk or Princess Remedy

>use the business casual man trailer because it's by far the best one

>list the gameplay differences (one is just a Melee clone, the other is more of a spiritual successor)

You should also note that the (((smash community))) has found this game, which means they may ruin its balance by screeching on reddit or twitter about their OP character of the week.

It's a fun game, though; I'm looking forward to trying it with my casualfag friend and gradually get him into fighting games instead of Smash Bros.

>>15158551

there have been cases of that (the fucking melee community is relentless in their autism that the devs can't prevent listening to some of it) but the devs have stated in the past that they already have plans for the game, and refuse to open a suggestion channel in their (((discord))) because of such.

>>15159151

That's a pleasant surprise. I know they discovered Ruby to be way too good in the hands of a semi-competent player, so maybe the dev actually knows what he's doing and will use them as unpaid beta testers.

>>15157900

at least make an effort in shilling

>>15157900

Goddess of Explosion a best, always good to see Remar getting recognition, now dump porn and a magnet torrent link

>>15157943

>I hate original content

>the clutch mechanic actually does stuff

The developer is slowly winning over my trust. Simple, movement-friendly mechanics like this are exactly what the genre needs.

>>15159222

I actually hadn't seen her yet. I would have thought any of his reps would be Iji, but it is what it is.

>>15157954

>waifus

>plural

Please do not do this

>>15159265

If it's just the same thing as smash brothers but with "wacky and original" characters, why should I bother to play it instead of smash brothers? There's no reason for me to download and install an entirely new game when I can just play the game that has movesets and mechanics I am already more familiar with.

>>15159664

But the characters aren't original they're all from different games

>>15159664

Also, as posted already mechanics like clutch, and having strong air attacks for instance. It also makes melee tech less autistic, and adds very visible indicators that such tech is occuring, like wavedashing having blue particles instead of smoke, or teching having a sound play as well.

>>15159664

well for one i think its on the pc. ill bet if they ever implement online itll be a lot smoother than nintendos sadly mediocre online.

but what the hell kind of attitude is that? should i not play civ ever just because age of wonders is more my style?

>>15159718

the netcode is better than sm4sh, as long as your ping is steady it doesn't matter how bad your ping is. I've played with some friends in australia without any problems.

Same question I wanted to ask in the last thread: When did the Card City Nights fags go from barely noteworthy indie group to memegame company that pretends they have some kind of recognizable cast of characters and games?

The performance seems like shit.

>>15160144

I mean they've been doing that since Card City Nights. Pretty much every game they've made has some references to other ones they've made.

CCN 1-2 and Slap are some prime examples of them bringing their characters together, and are ironically some of their best work.

>>15160130

still need a robot, a skeleton, an alien, and some big tittied animu chick

Okay I've managed to miss every thread about Ludosity or any of their games since 2014 apparently. Who the is this publisher and are their games any good or are they just the usual indieshit? Someone sell me on this stuff should I bother to go play the games that all these characters come from or should I just go ahead and pirate Slap City?

>>15160183

Don't get me wrong. I know that a lot of their stuff has little crossovers and references to their other games. They're a small studio with a distinct style of humor. It's just this Slap City shit really, really feels like they are acting like they are a bigger deal than they really are. Like everyone is supposed to be like

>HELL YEAH I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AS ALL MY FAVORITE LUDOSITY CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME!!

Even if that's not what they're going for, it still strikes me as odd for them to do something that is designed to pander to a hugely autistic audience like the FGC/"Smash Community"

Why would anyone play this over smash brothers when smash has a better roster? What does this game do different?

>>15160200

I mean maybe it's because of this that it striked so well, they don't bother wasting time like other smashlikes trying to get you to like or understand the characters. And to those who don't know, they have incentive to play their other games now. Same reason smash made people care about earthbound.

Like they obviously didn't expect it to get as big as it did, they were probably originally trying to pander to their core audience and try and get a couple of smash goys to buy it, but instead they got both their core and a fuckton of smashfags.

>>15160200

I think Ludosity devs are just fans of Smash, and somewhere along the line realized there's actually a demand for platform fighters, so they decided to take a stab at it themselves.

Project: M crashing and burning simply gives them a huge opening to snatch up a playerbase. It looks like it might be one of those "right time right place" deals.

>>15160130

>Coming from a casual who was used to rambunctious in-your-face fighting with friends in Smash, watching two "experienced fighter" spastics twitching 5 feet away from each other trying to bait the other into actually playing the game was dull

They're probably coming from a background of "competitive" Tr4sh, then. Movement is actually good in this game with no strings attached, which is very different from Tr4sh/Brawl; moving is almost a bad idea in those game due to skid animations and the difficulty of dashdancing/foxtrotting.

>>15160200

I think they're just trying to have fun. When MvCi died in 2017, everyone else jumped on the crossover bandwagon because they smelled blood in the water.

>>15160252

I actually bought Ittle Dew because of this game.

>>15160205

It has wavedashing. That's enough for most people.

This might end up becoming the Mortal Kombat to Smash's Street Fighter, at least in terms of popularity.

>>15160377

>This might end up becoming the Mortal Kombat to Smash's Street Fighter

I'm not saying you're a shill but holy damn you talk like one

>>15160394

I'm serious. E-celebs and normalfags are eating this fucking game up like hotcakes.

>>15157900

if the devs can allow characters from Blender/unity assets to be made /customized by fans it could be better. Literally who and what are these characters?

>>15160408

I think it just goes to show a certain group that'll eat up anything is desperate for something.

Would any fags want to play this together? I have no friends.

steamcommunity.com/id/meatfucker

>>15160453

*any of you fags, I mean.

Real, homosexual faggots need not apply.

>>15160458

What about cigarettes

>>15160422

Fishbunjin, Ruby, Ittle and Jenny Fox/Cat are from Ittle Dew, an okay-ish zeldalike that's sequel was way better.

Remedy is from Princess Remedy, a free game made for a gamejam that had it's 15 minutes of fame but some people still recognize.

Business Casual Man is an ongoing joke in the company's games, who's in pretty much all of their games as an easter egg.

Goddess of Explosions is from Hyper Princess Pitch, a fairly notable free game made by Remar, which played like Smash TV. It's made it's rounds here often enough, along with Iji, also by Remar.

>>15160356

Extensive searching gave zero results. Care to give a sauce, or at least point me in the right direction?

>>15160460

I would be friends with a smigarette.

>>15160453

>I have no friends.

The beta uprising begins, brother.

>>>/r9k/272994

>>15160408

not to say the game is bad but e celebs like to cash in on hype, hype for smash bros, and hype for what others are doing if it looks successful

>>15160477

Are you telling me Iji could be in this game at some point?

>>15159458

this

muslims out

>>15157900

The one thing that concerns me about all these party fighter/platform fighter games is how they always seem to resort to using having characters/multiple moves as references back to Smash when they could try to be more original and go further than just looking back at Smash for how a character should play (Eg: like there always being a Marth expy with a sword tipper damage mechanic in that Icons game).

>>15161899

one of the stages already has characters from Iji.

>>15162425

gotta have those obligatory smash-pioneered fighter archetypes

>>15162425

That isn't really the case for slap. Every character has something going for them and none are direct clones of anything from smash. The introduction of air strong attacks really helps make every character their own, but even then there's no characters that end up feeling like a character from melee, even those that outwardly look like they would. Ruby plays way differently than Marth for instance.

>>15162679

Funny enough I think this is a direct result of Slap City using only established characters instead of OC's. I think Smash benefitted greatly from this as well. When you take a character that already exists from other games and think about the things they do in the context of a platform fighter, you can end up with some very creative movesets.

Compare to Icons, who had nothing to draw from. They end up just aping established conventions instead of thinking about interesting ways for characters to exploit the mechanics of the genre.

>>15162425

I think that's more the case of Icons being a soulless Chinese knockoff than a real problem with the genre.

>>15160342

I liked Ittle Dew when I got it in a bundle, so I might get this game.

>>15162425

To be fair, every fighting game uses character archetypes that were more or less established by Street Fighter such as the shoto-clone, the grappler, the charge character, etc. So Platform Fighters using archetypes established by Smash isn't the problem, being soulless and uninspired is.

Most Smash clones seem to treat characters strictly as functions and don't even try to make their characters unique or interesting. Rivals of Aether characters are pretty much just random animal plus nature element while Icons are shitty Chinese knock-offs of Smash characters and focus-group tested bullshit that exists simply to hit diversity quotas. They end up being forgettable for the most part which is a pretty good argument against Combofiend's "Characters are just functions" PR bullshit for MvCI.

That said, even if Slap City has unique characters from previously established games (that no-one has ever played), I'm not really sold on them. Several of them seem to have that post-modern "ironic shittyness" to them instead of trying to make good "earnest" characters, which frankly, I'm fucking sick of seeing. No one has any passion anymore and just disguise laziness and a lack of talent behind "lol it's supposed to be shit" memes.

>>15163054

>Several of them seem to have that post-modern "ironic shittyness" to them instead of trying to make good "earnest" characters

Other than Business Casual Man they don't play this off as "look at how ironically shitty we are", I think this is more consequence of the style they decided to make their models in, than anything else.

Before I tried Ittle Dew I thought it was just an ironic "WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T ZELDA" thing but they don't play it like that, they don't wink to the camera in pretty much any of their games. Ludo isn't a company who hides their shittiness in irony, and once you see through that you realize their games are actually fun.

the game should have more characters, I think

aren't there only 8?

>>15163513

7 right now, only 8 are planned. They've said they're thinking about more now that they're more comfortable with the game, though.

>>15163523

they should have at least 12

so does anyone have a magnet that has working netplay? I'd check igg but they fuck unity games up.

>>15164298

bump, how does netplay emulation even work for steam games? SmartSteamEmu?

>>15160520

Tejina Senpai, no clue what chapter

>>15157900

> superior melee

If I wanted superior Melee then I would just play Melee.

>>15168363

you could at least pay attention to the posts in the thread before saying something stupid

>>15168451

Oh no but I get it, this is another autistic indie party brawler trying to cash-in on Melee autism.

>>15168465

This isn't Icons, anon. Slap is at least attempting something new instead of blindly copying melee tech and mechanics to try to appease a niche that only wants melee.

This looks like it was made by a 2D animator desperately trying to get 2D model ideas to conform to a 3D engine. The motions look awkward, as if the models themselves start and stop too soon. It's almost as if the models skip a bunch of frames here and there. This doesn't really complement the apparent floaty physics from the demo video posted.

How is this becoming popular again?

>>15168603

After quick research it is easy to see that the creators of this subpar game basically just got a bunch of YouTube streamers to shill the everliving fuck out of it.

Nothing to see here. Only bad games are shilled.

>>15168625

You're mixing causality, the youtube streamers are shilling it because with sm5sh's announcement they have a void that they can fill with "SMASH BROS KILLER?" trash.

The devs haven't approached anyone, slap city was a ghosttown until like 5-6 months ago.

>>15168603

are you being disingenuous? smash bros hype.

>>15157900

>No alien

>No Robot

>No ghost

>No big boobed animu grill

shit game

>>15168625

>M2K, Westballz, and Mang0

>YouTube shills

Fuck off.

Also friendly reminder: Ittle Dew 1 is amazing but Ittle Dew 2 fucked up and made all the puzzles boring in the interest of nonlinearity. Don't buy it. Also play Iji, it's the best freeware game I've ever played.

>>15169198

>Jenny Alien skin, also Remedy is from Saturn

>Robo-goddess skin, also there will probably be a Robo-bunjin skin since that was in Ittle Dew 2

>BCM

>Goddess most likely has MILF body, but compressed into battle armor

There you go.

>>15169314

>Goddess most likely has MILF body, but compressed into battle armor

well if she is the goddess of explosions i would expect her tits to explode out when she undresses

>>15169331

this guy gets it

So how long until the inevitable Goddess nerfs? You can't hand a character that many disjointed projectiles and expect her to play fair.

>>15160453

I sent you a friend request.

>>15169865

>You can't hand a character that many disjointed projectiles and expect her to play fair.

but jenny fox exists anon

>>15169865

She probably has the safest pokes in the game. Her normals on shield knock both people back super hard, so shield grabbing her is next to impossible.

She is super fun though, and the closest thing to Ganon we'll probably get.

another bump for "seriously where's the non-pozzed torrent"

>>15169331

torpedo tits

>>15169865

I hope the don't nerf genderbent Ganon.

>>15169891

Jenny Fox is shit compared to Palutena Mk. XM

Played about an hour of it, didnt like it.

Felt very stiff and slow.

>>15174321

>stiff and slow

what character did you use? I'd say try it again and tinker with clutch a bit, as clutch as a mechanic does more than change the direction you're facing, being used as both a sprint and a "prevent fastfall" button.

>>15174321

Use your clutched land cancels dude, they let you keep your air momentum when you land from a jump.

>>15174284

nothing can beat lolis in pajamas

why is this game so much more fun to watch than melee?

>>15178685

Well there is the fact that Melee has been around for 17 years so it would have gone stale. Meanwhile, Slap City is a newer game that has characters with unique and fun movesets. It also helps that Slap City refines and adds onto the Melee tech (clutch mechanic that reverses momentum of certain moves, aerial smash attack that can also act as a 5th special move, wavedash inputs more consistent across characters, etc.)

what is the best song in the game and why is it the jungle theme which I can't fucking find anywhere

Next character is Hat kid

>>15185410

>playing slap with a fightstick

Even more dumbed down fighters for children.

Kill yourselves all of you.

>>15185490

>dumbed down

someone's mad they can't clutch

>>15185499

You are a step below nintendrones.

>>15185522

You get this booty bothered over smash threads or is this an exception?

>>15185533

I hate both crowds tbh.

>>15185555

Waste of quads. I thought you hated this game sage-kun?

>>15175619

Why do devs think you need an extra layer of execution to do something as simple as keeping your momentum? What purpose does that serve? I don't care if it's simple or easy to do, why do devs keep getting in the way of basic movement?

>>15159374

I remember a decade ago there was a concept at… was it called TIGSource? For a Smash Bros-like that would have had Iji as a playable character.

>>15185714

Because there are some situations where it is beneficial to not keep your momentum. Every extra input is there to keep character control up to the player, so they can choose how they want their character to move.

So… its actually worth getting?

>>15185760

It was called Indie Brawl and it already had Iji as playable. Too bad that it has been dead for forever.

>>15187673

Pirate it and see if you like the gameplay. Play with the cluch mechanics and other new tech and see if you like it or not.

Doesn't feel as fun to play 1v1 as Rivals does but it's way more fun for free-for-alls or just as a party game in general. I still dig though how the devs are chucking big prize pools at tiny online community run tournaments to help attract and promote competitive players.

Clutch is a cool addition too, the default smash layout has a lot of overlap so an optional button to make reverses and other tech easier is a nice touch.

>>15160190

What about all of those at the same time?

>>15190402

>get the game to decide whether to get the game

How hard is this to get into as someone who only played Brawl (and very little melee 12 years ago at someones house but i dont own a GC or the game) ? Also how active is the yuropoor community?

>>15157900

Dang, I really miss the Canterbury Scene music from Card City, I was hopin' for some more of that.

>>15190539

Don't forget air strongs. I remember there was an anon who wanted one of the jump buttons in Smash to be used for a 5th special move instead, and air strongs in Slap City feels like the closest to that concept.
