nerf in next patch

All of this to say: I'd love to have more characters playable in arcade mode, and hopefully given enough resources, we'll be able to make it happen in the best possible way, and not by cutting unsatisfying corners!

(We also tried having brawl anims with many more frames, and that sucked)

On that same topic: A+Poco's set was among the first made while we were figuring out brawls - it's stylistically a bit different as more and more things were locked as more sets were made. There is actually a v2 of their set that we couldn't use because of time! Maybe one day?

You might argue it's a nitpick and we could simply use the hit frame and add a new recovery frame to fit the rest of the sets, but there are others differences: enemy sets cannot jump or block, and their attacks are aimed "ground low and ground high" versus "ground and air" for arcade

Here's a montage of her attacks in her player set: all of them go 1 hit, 2 recov. Small, yet big difference!

Anticipation is used to show the attack that's coming and "slow" the move before it actually connects during brawls. In arcade, every hit needs to be instantaneous (recov is cut as needed)

also she was voiced by real person Megumi Nakajima who was paid fairly and is openly credited for her voice acting work for a piece of software that requires human input and creativity akin to working with any other instrument. but also gumi megpoid is real and she's my wife

anyway keep making fanart and if youve reviewed the game already go review bits & bops

we'll always be transparent about the fact that everything is resource dependent, but we want this game to be as good as you deserve it to be. we will continue to do what we can.
