FOOTSIES Rollback Edition

You can get someone completely new to playing a functional neutral game in about 60 seconds. You can refine that neutral game forever. That's this game in a nutshell. Footsies is the perfect fighting game to dabble in. You don't need to put in serious time to get to nontrivial depth, the "real game" that can be elusive when learning a fighting game, yet there's a deep enough game for you to grind if you so choose. Execution is pretty much as simple as you could ask for yet you'll find that there are things you mess up -- whiff punishing with walk into Kick without accidentally getting Knee, doing Uppercut in place with as little movement as possible, etc. Parry is a whole thing unto itself and is probably one of the best thought-out parries in a fighting game. I always recommend this game as a fun side-game to play every so often with a friend. It plays well online and is a blast offline. I really recommend bringing this game to offline events; it's one of the best ways to get players that don't play similar fighting games to finally be able to play on relatively even footing. Footsies is a testament to just how simple a complete and enjoyable fighting game can be, and I recommend it to everyone.

this is THE game if you're looking to develop a foot fetish

Now im daigo

higher skill celling than street fighter 6

This game is pretty good on fundamentials but the inputs are bizarre coming from an actual fighting game background. eg: 5p (standing +attack) = 2k (low kick) 4p/6p (backwards/forward + attack) = 5p (standing punch) In order to play i basically had to unmap my brain to the most basic of controls before i could play what is the most boring fight game imaginable. Can't say it's worth it for how basic the game is. If you aren't already versed in fighting games than it's porbably a decent introduction. For those which have already ran the gauntlet on a proper fighting game this provides nothing of value. It's something i'd imagine would make more sense as a free webgame than a game you'd buy.

People who like this game promise that it will teach you neutral. In fact this game is ass. Controls are awkward AF. You have 5X that gives you a kick and 6X and 4X are command normals that give you a knee move. Having 4X feels horrible. If you back up and want to do a kick, the character just does a knee. The hurboxes are horrendous too. They are MASSIVELY extended on both attacks your character has for the ease of whiff punishing I assume, but it's just unintuitive.

i dont like being unable to block standing still i dont like the sf animations i dont like committing to charge i dont like charge kick being unreactable i dont like waiting after each kill i dont like the hurtbox extension on whiff i dont like limited blocking i dont like not being able to crouch block

Short review and additional information: Probably one of the simplest, if not the simplest, fighting games out there and a great way to learn solid fundamentals found in most 2D fighters. Even if you’re not interested in fighting games beyond the simplest ones, it’s still a killer party game, and you can even find tournaments for it. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☑ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☑ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10

this is a quaint little game you can play with your friends. beware, though. you can't crouch block, so it won't actually teach you footsies

I suck even at this
