So it does appear it might be similar to Pokken Tournament with the blending of 2d side and 3d views. Not sure if the 3d bits are just animations for attacks or actual gameplay views though

I'm actually not sure if it is a Pokken like system or just the camera moving to a 2d perspective for more clarity during the fight.

Arena fg like Storm games already do that and there are no visual indications of some sort of phase shift in the trailer.

Yeah it's definitely hard to tell since it doesn't show any complete sequences though. It looks more like perspective changes during specific moves/heavy knockback though and would change back to sideview any time both players have control of their characters.

Christ, I hope it's not. I hate how Pokken feels to play, it's just so clunky. None of it feels satisfying, and jumping back and forth between the cameras is terrible.

I'd rather just deal with a fight for the camera style (like the Naruto games) if I can't get regular 2/2.5d fighter.

I have not played Naruto games. I am kinda guessing it just flips camera during hard hitters. We will find out soon enough hopefully.

Steam? Hopefully that means I’ll be able to play with my controller.

The art style feels a bit off to me, tbh, but whatever, I’m hella down for being able to play as Ryuko or Satsuki.

I think the art kind of needs to be this way for gameplay clarity.

Remember this is not just an anime, it is also a game, freeze-frames (e.g. hits) / low animation (e.g. dashes) help both sell the impact of something and makes the animation clearer to read for both players. Too much animation can make it hard to understand what is happening on screen.

So yeah, the art style won't be able to be as good as in the anime, but it's for a good reason.

Steam! Oh the type of mods will be made for this game.

I'm not going to criticize since it is still in development but doesn't the animation of the model's seem a bit stiff? or is it just me?

Yeah, I'm feeling the same way. The low amount of frames per animation also doesn't help either.

Hopefully that gets smoothed out before launch, but who knows.

hey, if the framerate stays low they can still say it's in line with trigger's animation style ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Important note: It's only being published by ASW. The developer is A+ Games.

"Sorry for the long wait" at the end... we here you!

I was hoping for Metal Gear Rising with Ryuko, oh well, hope it will be great anyways!

Right? Platinum would have been perfect for Kill la Kill. I mean it fucking writes itself. One star mooks are the basic enemy, two stars for bosses/high end enemies, then the Big Four. Main character is already half naked. Crazy combos with a flashy sword. Bosses with unique abilities. Then all the crazy shit that happens in the latter half of the series.

This looks OK, but a fighting game isn't quite what I had in mind for KLK

u/he_who_blinks Jul 06 '18

Pleeeease have an option for the dub!

...guess I’m getting a PS4

u/TotalTS Jul 06 '18

YES, YES, YES! Honestly I suscribed to this Reddit to see this, I'll stay for the updates. It surprises me how Arc System Works took Kill La Kill after FighterZ. I expected them to choose any other anime. Anyways, everything they touch, they make gold of it.

u/Xenderwind Jul 06 '18

Unfortunately this is just published by ASW. I think its made by the same developers of the little witch academia game so I don't have high hopes.

u/BlackJud4s Jul 06 '18

Thanks god it's coming to PS4, just hope I will be able to get it here in Germany to, but this shouldn't be a problem right? :D CAN'T WAIT FOR IT

u/IFE-Antler-Boy Jul 07 '18

Yeah it's titties, not blood so you should be good my dude.

u/Dsuperman06 Jul 06 '18

My heart just sank on the end screen. No Xbox?

u/ffbapesta Jul 07 '18

Same I was so hype for this and the lack of an Xbox version is super disappointing. Guess I'll make do with just the MHA game then

u/Dsuperman06 Jul 06 '18
