This game desperately needs free camera control.

[Zuko]

I hope it's planned for the future and it isn't planned to stay the way it is. As it is, the camera control in this game isn't great. The main problem is that there are a lot of places in this game where you can end up with blind fights that drag out.

A good example is on the truck stage. If you're inside of a truck with someone, fighting them becomes 100% luck. You can't see at all. The only sort of visual you get is if you toggle floating names, which isn't a whole lot to go by. Every now and then the slowly rotating camera might give you a visual on the characters inside for a couple of seconds, and then it's back to blindly mashing buttons. Postitions that would otherwise bring a fun level of strategy end up suffering as a result.

With that said, I really hope that one day we'll be able to have full control of the camera rotation.

Not necessarily. The lack of camera control could have to do with some maps not having anything behind the camera. Let's take the Billboard for example. You've got the billboard, and then in the background you have scenery for the ground below. But if you turned the camera around the other way, it would probably be a black void with no level. Being able to fully rotate the camera could require a more complete map, which would take time.

There already is camera control. Not sure what the default controls are but mine is set to the left/right of the d-pad. Currently there is only 3 angles for every stage, except for Trucks that has the rotating camera. If you press it once in the opposite direction that the camera is moving it will go in a neutral position where the camera stops rotating, then once in a direction to move it that way, then again to speed it up. The controls for the stages with 3 angles is only temporary, they will eventually get better camera support.

I'm aware of the current camera control. I'm talking full free control. It still isn't great as it is. I'm glad to hear that there are plans to address it.

Lmao, good joke

Full control is NOT planned. They are going to be using the right stick and presumably mouse, maybe, for aiming your punches, grabs and such, and as such we'll only probably be getting controls like we have for trucks now, perhaps something better, but no such FULL control.

[Smollik]

agree

[Not LlamaLover]

yup

i think there should be full control only on certain stages, like trucks.

Yes, in the very least, trucks really needs full camera control. It probably wouldn't hurt with blimp either and would probably even leviate a lot of the problems a lot of people have with that map.
