The Shadows mode is really cool! I love it far more than I initially thought I would, as in my household it is sometimes hard to get the Internet completely clear as to have non-laggy online matches. With the Shadows Mode though, I can get competitive matches and (for now) is a great way for me to practice up and better learn how to play the game.
Anyway, IMO there are some options within the Shadows Mode that I think are missing, and would definitely make the Shadows experience better. One in particular that is glaring to me is there not being an option to continuously challenge Shadows one after the other.
Being able to challenge an endless line of shadows rather than having to keep on selecting them by navigating the laggy menu options would be Awesome. āShadow Survival Modeā is the closest thing we have to this currentlyā¦but that is survival mode. I think an endless line of ābest of 3ā Shadow matches would be fun too, as it would better simulate online ranked where after a match in that mode you just have to chose āsearchā and wait for another match to queue up. Being able to just continuously fight opponents one after the other with little to no menu navigation would be great!
Update:
Another thing that really should be addressed, less an option, more a feature, is showing up front which shadows are within the 24 hour ācool downā period after playing them, and which Shadows are available to fight.
This ā24 hourā restriction is somewhat off putting, as I canāt say I understand fully why it is there, but if it is going to be there, maybe there should be something showing when that shadow will be available again.
Case in point:
2 days ago I got on KI really late, like at 11PM, and played for like 3-4 hours in the Shadows Lab. Cut to yesterday, when I got home from work at about 7pm, and none of the shadows that I played the previous day (Friends mostly) were availableā¦but I couldnāt tell which ones.
Besides the fact that I could challenge my friendās Shadows, the best I could do to see which ones were available was to select each one, wait for them to load, and then see which one the game would allow me to challenge.
I then went to the overall listings to find some matches, to also find that many of those too were locked due to the restriction, one after the other as I was going down the line.
FYI: I still fought a bunch of shadows in that session yesterday, I just had to go deeper into the listings, like 20 - 30 level.
Again, it is fine that there is a restriction, I just think it would do some good to show up front which Shadows were available, and also show a timer of some sort before having to select them individually in order to see when those Shadows will be available again.
