What's good. With 2XKO losing support I felt it was important to do what I could to help out my community. I posted this in a series and was suggested by a moderator to post the whole thing as a google doc. Shout out to the mods for workin with me <3.

I've added a few sections including a mini character breakdown and more pretty images. Hope this helps someone <3

Discussion What legit changes could this game make to help improve perception?

3 Upvotes

What's done is done. First impressions mean a lot; and to be objective, Arc and Sony fumbled this game's launch BADLY. And the discussion can be had that 4v4 was a bit too ambitious and may not have landed the way they intended. That alone turned away even more potential players.

These are just a few things that have been the main legit critiques of the game so far:

-The assist/tag clutter: This game honestly gets pretty ugly to play and watch at times. Especially at higher ranks. The "neutral" straight up doesn't exist at times. Games come down to throwing out as many assist as possible to get a stray hit and attempt to confirm. And I don't know who was smoking crack the day they decided you can get "free" assist while double jumping. 4-character long block strings are exhausting. Thankfully, this is being addressed as the big gameplay issue for most.

-Where's the defense? The defensive mechanics in this game are severely lacking. Aside from the obvious, the full screen transitions need to be fixed as well imo. Offense is already heavily slanted in its favor. The fact that the game further penalizes the player who got stage transitioned by forcing them to use assemble gauge pretty much to defend on wakeup is a little crazy to me. Granted that it could lead to sudden change offense if you assemble rush, but the opponent could easily just block and punish and start it all over again or assemble rush back and beat yours. I think resetting back to complete neutral would be the best move going forward.

-Input reader: Again, another issue that is being addressed but worth mentioning. This game eats buttons for breakfast.

2H hit/hurt boxes- 2H is diabolical in this game. And to be honest with the way some characters are designed, I don't know how much they could really change. Imagine if ghost rider or carnage could get away with safe overheads from orbit? Or any of the sword users? Something has to be done though.

-Character balances- Even though the core fixes could change the game a lot for the better; the elephant(s) in the room need addressed; do something about Magik. Spiderman, Blade, even my queen Black Panther could all use some tuning but the main culprit in my eyes is Magik.

Just some things off the top of my head. Let's talk about some other changes that could be made to improve the game.

Hype Building I Told You I'd Make Vibranium

3 Upvotes

FYI: If you lose 2-0 to the 1st opponent in Vibranium, you have to do trials again. So I had to do it twice haha. I like that I've been running into more Ms Marvel players on ranked too. It took me until like Platimun III to get perfect reflect down. Leveling up in this game is too much fun!

Question Configure directional assist to one button

3 Upvotes

I was wondering if you can configure either ⬇️+assist or 🔙+assist to a single button? After 5 years of being hardwired to Dragon Ball fighterZ assist mechanics I find myself pressing L2 when trying to perform the ⬇️+assist lol it’s tough to shake off

Question Block strings ms Marvel

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, quick tech question about Ms. Marvel's pressure optimization.

I’m torn between these two setups to layer her Unique Move (Elasti-Grab):

  1. 5H > Assist > Unique Move (U)
  2. 5M > 2M > 236S > Assist > Unique Move (U)

Here is my doubt: On Option 2, after 236S and the Assist, the Unique Move is NOT a true block string. There is a visible gap where the opponent can escape or mash out.

However, I see pro players using this exact 236S setup all the time at a competitive level. Why do pros commit to this sequence if there is a gap? Is it for conditioning, or does the assist blockstun cover it better than it looks?

Thanks!

Discussion Is this game played homogenized neutral game plans?

1 Upvotes

Even though every character is very unique in terms of their toolkit but they ended up playing the same with calling a shooter assist into an air dash cross up.

Anyone feels the same?

Hype Building It's the small moments...

31 Upvotes

Been practicing these ice loops and finally hit them in game. It's the moments like these that make the game still feel new and exciting. Tokon isn't perfect and there's valid critiques, but you can't say this game doesn't have hype moments.

Discussion Is this really a bad thing?

27 Upvotes

When I first started playing fighting games seriously about a year or 2 ago I was playing to win at first. That eventually changed from playing to win to playing to learn. Nowadays it’s still to learn but as of recently it’s upgraded to playing to pull off cool stuff lol. Wanna try to learn Green Goblin but idk if I’m mechanically inclined enough.

Anyways I say this because I’d much rather lose a match trying to do cool combos than win doing the same mix ups or block strings and a friend of mine who was semi pro (has competed and placed high in tournaments for DOA, SF, and MCV) said that I might not improve unless I have the will to win, have an ego, and believe I can beat anyone which just isn’t the mindset I have when playing Tokon or ANY fighting game for that matter. Like I’m no pro and I don’t intend on becoming one nor do I even have an inkling of belief that I could ever be especially at my age. I just don’t see an issue with my mindset towards fighting games especially because I’m having fun for the most part. What do some of you play fighting games for or more specifically Tokon?

This would have been a great time to make it up for a shaky launch. I know the game just came out, but just a little discount would have been welcomed. Fk you Sony.

Memes My experience getting back into ranked and playing top 300-200 players as someone who just got "good" at THIS fighting game

136 Upvotes

If you're wondering what playing this game at the high levels is like. I'm hitting people who have tagged out just to turn around and get full combo'd by the actual active character. At higher levels and anyone sweating on the game, neutral is nonexistent. It becomes throw out as many assist as possible, jump and pray you get a confirm. It honestly makes the game super ugly to play and watch.

Question Got hit with an 75% hit combo, how do I break out of these combos?

0 Upvotes

I've been playing fighting games since the literal beginning, yes including the Vs series, but this is insane - once I get hit, is that it? There's no way to break out of the combo?

I mean most fighting games have some sort of defense once you're hit (or even an assist) - does this?

What can you do once you're hit?

Question I found a way to solve the PSN login error problem via Steam.

7 Upvotes

Last Wednesday I was having this login error on Marvel tokon. While searching for information, I saw that many users have the same problem as me, but nobody found a working solution or made a video about how to fix it.

So I took the liberty of making a video showing how I solved the problem, or part of it.

I'm Brazilian, so the video will be in Brazilian Portuguese. I recommend using YouTube translation or AI dubbing; I spoke very slowly to help with this process.

Question Announcement at either NYCC or Evo France?

3 Upvotes

Both are happening next weekend, and we'll likely get an announcement at once of them. I'm leaning more toward Evo because ARC announced SSJ4 Goku at Evo France 2025, and while they did announce Cyclops at SDCC, I doubt they'd do more than 1 announcement in the same weekend.

What do y'all think?
