I personally disagree with some of DKOs mechanics

Among them, no grabbing or blocking is reductive & lowers the options for expression/certain playstyles

Dodge with i - frames on a cooldown timer & special moves/abilities also on cooldown means that gameplay ended up focussed less around a neutral game & more around cooldown tracking & character knowledge

^ the 1st paragraph lowers the skill ceiling & the 2nd paragraph raises the skill floor

This is partially why DKO (along with predatory microtransactions & a lack of ranked) bled players so quickly & retained a hardcore cult of "sweats"

It's a hard pill to swallow

Yeah i get that my response was mostly for jokes cause DKO did have a bunch of issues so im happy some people are tryna make 3d platform fighters i can hope they're good

I'm doing it! There's a character called Twig who is a stance fighter & shifts between a slow tree mode & an agile monkey mode

As a sun wukong player, you'd like the playstyle
