I suppose we don’t have any real idea yet as to the scope of the upcoming update so I’m not quite sure what’s safe to ask for and what’s way too pie in the sky.
I think it’s safe to assume that we’re not getting any new mechanics like flip out or stagger. I doubt this is a full on rebalance patch like they prior to season 3 (for example).
But what would you like to see? Any nerfs or buffs for your character or others? Any frame adjustments, new moves or changes to how moves work or how instinct work for anyone?
I kinda doubt we’re getting a 4th season or extra modes or the rest of the characters ultimates or anything like that. If they do wind up putting that level of stuff out, then great. I’ll be happy to be surprised.
Kim : it would be amazing to buff Kim’s dragons. I know it’s not gonna happen, but it would be nice if the dragons allowed for more pressure or potentially more defensive options… perhaps if her dragons had one hit of armor- even in instinct. I know that is obviously OP but Agnes already has that.
If not that then above to her dragon katas. Chip in instinct or better range.
NERF: Oman- I think, omens air dashes shouldn’t be free. Maybe they eat a little bit of Shadowmere or some thing
Nerf rash: throw damage, the amount of corner carry rash gets is ridiculous. Combo going off of wicked tongue is retarded
Fulgore: visible teleports, does he need that throw range REALLY? Slow him down a tad maybe
Aria: make her not so plus on all of her normal
Orchid: I think orchid, could use some thing different maybe
Spinal: is a degenerate & anybody that plays spinal is a degenerate also. You get nothing.
Eagle: make it so rash can’t permanently delete his arrows. Some better zoning pressure maybe rather than just corner blender
Ah I haven’t seen that! Just looked it up and saved it for the next time I hit the treadmill, thanks! Do you have anything he didn’t mention, especially as it pertains to Sadira? Just curious.
Like, why a singleplayer mode of all things needs to be online at all times is not only restrictive but also very unnecessary, plus for preservation sake it would mean the mode itself would be inaccessible if servers were to ever shut down. (Rumbleverse, anyone?)
Having it offline enabled via “Quality of Life” would be greatly appreciated.
Same with allowing us to changing our profile title cards as well viewing the “Extras” feature again while offline.
Before Definitive Edition, it was possible to change cards and view everything when offline, including in-game unlockables like Concept Art and character endings. But now, for some arbitrarily reason its locked out if the game doesnt connect. Preventing people from using it as originally intended.
Iron Galaxy or Microsoft should seriously consider removing the online requirements from both the Xbox and Steam version so we can access them freely even if servers disconnect.
(Which where I live, happens more often than you’d think.)
Also I am aware of the ‘Shadows’ feature, so if they were to alter the DRM somehow, that part might be difficult for Shadow Lords, seeing its based souly on users uploading their own Ai…
However, for the following content listed below, they SHOULD be fully functional if either Xbox One or Steam isnt connected online. Period.
Customizing Profile Cards/as well Viewing Them
Extras section, like viewing concept art, endings, etc
Customizing Character Acessories
Shadow Lords (Main Campaign, but perhaps a slight workaround to get Eyedol’s missions working. IDK, Im not a dev so I cant say how it would work.)
Plus allowing players to unlock Gargos’ “Astral Plane” stage again, while their console is offline.
When it comes to “Things I hope they fix”, these are the big ones that come to mind.
Yeah, with the exception of the Kim stuff. I posted what I could remember. I think Kim should get us some thing a little bit more than the Hitbox improvement.
I actually thought the shadow Lords was pretty fun. And I actually found the shadows to be pretty useful, especially for warming up from what I understand. It was a pretty revolutionary concept. It would be nice if they flushed the story mode out a little bit more.
Regaurding the reboot is concerned, I actually really liked it for the most part. Had a small roster at launch, but over time they did spice it up with a few returning faces.
Plus of all guest characters, Warden was one just I adored. Although admittedly I was disappointed knowing he wasnt an original character designed by SNK, as a medieval knight sounds perfect for the world of Sam Sho.
MY ONLY GRIPES, Netcode at launch was pretty bad on PS4. My matches either lagged like crazy or nobody would ever show up, least on my end. I am aware of the recent rollback update a few months ago that dropped, but I have yet to try it out sadly. Cant say much for the Switch or Steam ports either.
That, plus everyone from the original Samurai Showdown has returned… EXCEPT Gen-An. Which as a guy who likes weird characters in fighting gams, that was pretty sad knowing he was the only one got left behind. Not even as a dlc fighter, which surprises me.
Which kinda sucks, as of all the characters from the first game, he was the one fighter I wanted to see return the most!
