Best Fighting Game. The game just crashes a lot. I wish the dev(s) would fix the crashing bugs. Other than that its a great game. Better than Ultimate. Its more modern than melee but it has a differnt fell than melee. Melee is more technical and the recovories are not as weird as in Rivals. But I like the game a lot. I think its fun even when you lose so thats good.

Excelente juego. Espero Pomme salga pronto en esta entrega.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Le jeu est cool en soit : Nerveux,fluide et les déplacements sont hyper satisfaisant ; mais le problème c'est que j'ai l'impression (a mon niveau en tout cas) bourré les boutons a trop de reward, le jeu est trop permissif comparé a un Ssb ou si tu bourres un peu trop tu comprends vite que t'as pas le droit et va te faire punir salement. Ici il y a certaine mécanique a bas % qui sont assez décevante et permettent de perdre une interaction mais d'en sortir gagnant c'est assez frustrant de jouer un mec qui appuie sur tout les boutons sans aucune reflexion de gameplay( pas de zoning, pas de phase de neutral construite ou quoi... c'est juste du bourrage de bouton)
Very fun
Um jogo de luta onde muitos personagens não têm combo, um arena fighter que é quase impossível voltar pra arena com boa parte dos personagens, esse jogo é caoticamente desbalanceado e com aspectos completamente sem sentido. Exemplo: Kragg é um personagem brutamonte, que causa muito dano, se move rápido, é extremamente fácil de jogar e consegue voltar de QUALQUER PONTO da arena, e é quase a mesma situação com todos os brutamontes. Os velozes por sua vez, quando saem para fora da arena é quase impossível voltar pois a velocidade de queda varia entre personagens , e por alguma razão IMBECÍL todos os brutamontes (que são imensos) caem lentamente e conseguem voltar facilmente pra arena, enquanto os velozes, se caírem, descem igual um foguete e é quase impossível de voltar. -Jogo pago com loja de itens, da pra obter as coisas jogando mas é muito demorado. -Aspectos que tentaram inovar mas são terrivelmente mal aplicados -Jogo mal otimizado, é um tapa na cara um jogo graficamente simples e pífio desses ter travamentos, mas é verdade, foi feito na Unreal Engine 5... EU RODO Cyberpunk2077 NO ULTRA COM RAY TRACING mas não rodo essa bomba. -Cada golpe que se erra é uma sentença de morte pois o personagem fica pensando na morte da bezerra COMPLETAMENTE IMÓVEL por durante pelo menos um segundo. Eu já joguei muitos jogos de luta em vários consoles durante a minha vida, switch, playstation, xbox, alguns até competitivamente. E posso dizer que o sistema de combate e balanceamento do jogo tem que ser jogado fora e feito de novo, tá mal feito, mal balanceado, extremamente punitivo e cheio de aspectos que não fazem sentido, eu não me lembro do Rivals 1 ser assim. Parece que a sequência deixou de ser aquele jogo marcante e divertido e virou só uma bagunça feita pra ganhar dinheiro rápido. (apesar de que o Rivals 1 tem boa parte dos personagens bloqueado por dlc) Em poucas palavras...uma experiência extremamente frustrante e completamente decepcionante. Ah é, o jogo tem grande foco no online, mas é ruim e quase não tem jogadores, sem falar que ELE CRASHA quando você tenta entrar em um lobby... não tenho nem palavras pra me expressar quanto a isso...
It reminds me to smash melee because of the wavedash, and most of the rooster is easy comparable to others for practice, it's a solid 8'5/10, the only bad thing it's that if u had played smash before, is gonna be a little bit difficult, otherwise his characters, stages, menu and mostly GOOD RANKEDS AND MATCHMAKING, makes a good game
