its a bit silly but i dont understand how free crossover dlc is desperate????

like, i guess the idea is that "this dlc will make zelda/yoshi fans look at our game!" but it seems to be more for people who already own it to play through some silly things that are a little different from the normal sonic fare? i dunno

I think it's a desperate attempt to make Sonic relevant, but i forgot there are actual people who legitimately still like Sonic games. It doesn't matter if a crossover is silly as long as they make something cool with it, but this one looks really bland.

Unrelatedly: I want to like Skullgirls but this...



really puts me off fighting games in general. I love fighting games, but i hate the Marvel vs Capcom-like long-ass combo string based metagames. The whole meta is based around poking for an opportunity to land huge-ass combos that take more than 2 thirds of your lifebar and drag on for like 10 seconds; Now, i know it's cool to have flashes and shit when you do a super move but it just takes so goddamn long, specially on a game where it's so easy to make combos. There's no pace to that, once you get hit you might as well drop your controller for a while.

Compare that to the constant back and forth of Vampire Savior, it's just so much more exciting to watch and play. Instant super moves, forced knockdowns on combo finishers, it's perfect.
Then again i'm super biased and think every fighting game is inferior to VS...
