This game is broken

[IM THE HERO]

I've played almost 400 matches on ps4 and I'm gonna tell you now that this game is horrible . Most of the mechanics are just completely broken.

Supports are busted and are pretty much used a crutches. Supports come back waaaaay too quickly, sometimes at ridiculous speeds with some characters. Muscular and shigaraki have to be the most busted supports in the game. Supports do guard damage and some of them can be used to get guaranteed guard breaks, like WTF.

Zoners (and Bakugo) are broken and dominate the game. Grabs have huge hitboxes with busted tracking. Wall combat is buggy and can be abused by some characters. Sometimes you'll be sent flying across the stage and back to the wall because of the stage randomly flipping over when on a wall. Idk if this is a bug or not, but when I'm attacked while blocking on a wall, my guard is instantly broken.

This game needs more stages with big open areas with no walls AND no stage outs. Some characters need huge nerfs (Jiro, Todoroki, Dabi, Bakugo) others need buffs. There are some other characters with broken attacks, Like Froppy's aerials, Momo's flashbangs and canon, and Toga's knife's and transform grab (if you use them together).

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the ranking system is garbage. I had about 2000 points yesterday and ended up fighting the #1 Toga player who has about 11,000 points, which was really exciting, but ended up being disappointing and a wake up call because all she did wad spam her knifes and her transform grab. When she landed her grab, she would just spam my supports all at once and rush me. She then hit me with a 50% combo using shigaraki, (which by the way she got back 5 seconds after he was recalled) and then repeated the same ♥♥♥♥. So disappointed to see people like this at the top.

Overall, this game deserves a 4/10. No content, broken combat, and a horrible ranking system. This game needs a update ASAP. If I missed anything or you disagree with anything I said, feel free to reply. Other than that, I'm uninstalling this game, its community and gameplay is horrible. Play this game only with friends.

No, if youre within the range of the hitbox, you'll get grabbed. Doesnt matter if you dash. You can very easily dodge it though if you dash fast enough a little after the animation. I still think range should be toned down a bit. like I said there's no dead zone.

Yes, Bakugo's has way to much tracking and range. It's as bad as SS Deku slide tracking. Yes you can attack him but if he has supports up your counter will pretty much be tossed in the trash. That's why I said supports are crutches. They can make up for any of your mistakes.

If you dodge Froppy's aerial grab and try to punish her, she can just use one of her aerials to get you off. Her aerial game is REALLY good. Her ranged attacks are actually pretty strong and do lots of damage. She can also use supports to cover for her too.

I tested Aizawas grab and it only worked if i was exactly on the enemy with it. Again Bakugos doesnt have that much range (try using Togas Y that's long range). Instead of a normal attack you can do an unblockable to so you dont get hit from his supports

Eeeeh, I've been playing with a friend who's a Aizawa main and trust me, there's a hitbox. You can kinda see it because most of the time his scarf bends a little.

The unblockable after depends on the character. Since Bakugo is technically in the air, if you use a unblockable he will most likely get sent flying backwards from a previous attack before the attack is executed. Todoroki's aerial unblockable is really good for this situation and other characters that can follow up with a unblockable after their basic.

I actually agree with that. Togas Y has really good range BUT very slow so it's easy to dodge. If we're talking about close range, the tracking it crazy and will most likely hit you if you try to dash. Togas double dagger Y combo is very annoying and it takes to much work to punish for something so easy to pull off.

Soo true, I love this game, and want it to be good soo badly, but the state of the game atm is bad. My friends even quit playing the game so I'm kinda alone now lol. Really hope they fix these problems so my friends will come back and play.

Your mistake was expecting a balanced fighting game from an arena fighter. These are the definition of "casual" fighting games and are always broken as hell.

Yeah i agree with some of them like Toga being broken and annoying (But it's very much possible to get good enough to bet her) and kinda small aernas.

You know against toga if she transform you just have to jump to dodge the supports, if she anticipate it, do a perfect block or yellow attack, this character is really horrible to play against if they just run away and throw theyr ♥♥♥♥ but it's not really strong since if you know how to counter it you can do some perfect without much problems

[AugenExil]

Man i"'ll tell you something, in ALL fighting games there will be spammers and broken characters or people. They can play horrible and u can get mad, BUT when u learn how to fight, how to predict their moves, creating a STYLE that is not trivial, people won't be able to read your game easily and neither u will fall in their traps. If u are talking about time then I MUST have "arguments" (as you say) because I've player all Narutos and particularly in the last one (NSUNS4) I played more than 2000h and more than 7000 matches online and with practice and time u learn how to react. Also I say this cos the mechanica are really similar, indeed Storm has more glitches and broken characters, but still u can counter them, u just must think of a way. I hope u consider this as a suggestion and not so arrogant as I could read of ur last replies, cos I understand why many people could get annoyed with u. Just keep it cool man

Yeah, I agree, shes annoying but not as strong as the top tiers. You're right.

I understand why some people are upset, but I'm not hating on the game, they have to understand this. The things i said in the main post are true, that's why in my previous replies I posted suggestions on how they can balance/fix some mechanics. If I sounded arrogant before then I apologize. People just used the "you're just bad" argument without taking the time to even read what I posted, so I just replied with my game time to show that I'm definitely not "bad" and that I put time into the game.


I've never played ninja storm so I cant say much about that. The thing is with this game zoners like Todoroki, Jiro, and Dabi dominate the game. That's why their top tier. You can counter them, yes, but it takes a lot of effort and precision to successfully counter, when the person you're versinng is only pressing one button. With the tools these characters have, they can just play super safe, and the only time you can counter them is when they get bored or make a mistake, which is very annoying. I'll give you an example, a Jiro, like all Jiro's, spam their bass ability which stuns you for a VERY long time. You can dodge them, yes, but the time it takes to do so will leave her with enough time to block or use another base attack, depending on your distance from (which is usually far because her bass attack pushes you back). If you do manage to catch her, she can just use supports. You can use a heavy attack but most of the time people will see this coming and just wait to pull out their supports. If they use their bass attack in mid air it actually pushes them backwards a lot, so if you try to punish them by aerial dashing towards them, or by attacking when their above of you, their just just gonna spam it again and stun you or hit you with a grab from the distance they get from using the bass attack. Zoners like this have way to many tools to deal with this kind of stuff and also have supports to back them up. Countering them is a chore and all they do is press 1 button. It's unbalanced. Zoners just need a nerf.

I thank you sir for giving me a good laugh!

The state of the game atm is laughable, but once you actually play for bit, it's just frustrating and boring. Well, unless you play against someone actually good and will put up a good, fun fight. Not someone who just spams fireballs and cuts the map in half with a ice wall, jumps on the opposite side, and rinse and repeats until the timers up.

Nah, it's satisfying beating spammers up. Frustrating, sometimes, but never boring. Usually you just need one hit on a spammer and then it snowballs to the point where they can't get up. Unless it's an actually knowledgable player. I don't mind getting beaten by a good Todoroki. In fact, it's pretty enjoyable too.

I think you are exaggerating, and some of the things you said are just dumb. No character can wallsplat forever, there can be only one wallsplat per combo. And if the game is boring and frustrating for you, why did you play as much as you claim you did?

Anyway, if this is not bait, go tell your complaints and suggestions to the developers, maybe they'll listen. Why did you even post it here?

I agree that it's an exaggeration, it's actually pretty fun to play against good players, no matter the game.

And secondly, maybe he posted it to get attention? Just guessing (no offense @Tokoyami)

A good Todoroki is fun to fight against sometimes, but some "good" Todoroki's just zone you out the whole game, which is not fun for most people. It feels great when you beat someone like this though, that's why I usually stick around and fight if I see a Todoroki. Nothing I've said is dumb, maybe some things are a little exaggerated, but not dumb.

What? That makes no sense, I played that much because I thought the game was amazing at first, I had no experience and didnt know what to expect. As I played more matches, however, i started to see the true colors of this game, and other people did too. I started to see the flaws. THAT'S why I stopped playing, because after playing all those matches, I started to see that this game wasn't as good as I thought, and that there are plenty of things that need to fixed in the game.

True, you're allowed one wall splat per combo. The problem I have is that it's very easy to do with some characters, and the damage from the combos you can pull off on the wall with meter is huge.
Aizawa has 2 moves that can wall splat you, guaranteed. He can just wall splat you and combo into a special on the wall. He thrives on wall splats. If they manage to catch you mid air though, when you're falling down when the map flips, he can grab you and wall splat you AGAIN.

This is just another thing I wanted add. With some characters, you're able to run to ground from the wall, and special right when your opponent falls down from the map flipping. With Tokoyami's special, since Dark shadow tracks you across the stage, you can abuse this mechanic because theirs no aerial blocking. It will hit you guaranteed. There's no point of jumping away either because dark shadow will just hunt you down.

Yeah, it's fun to play against actual good players.

I guess I somewhat want attention, I just want the developers to see this and fix at least some of the problems. If you guys have a site to were I can post this at were the developers can see it, please post it.
