Hello! I made an account just for this lol, anyway feedback time. A bit of context though, I and the friend I mention are both into Smash/Melee etc. and were able to adjust to the controls and game feel quickly.
I went to a friend's house to play versus on LAN and man it was so much fun. As we both got better and learned new tricks we were constantly having fun. It feels GREAT and for those who felt the game was unresponsive at times, I understand your pain because that's how Melee felt at first, just keep at it :) We started clipping each other left and right and we'll probably make a combo video or too out of the results. We might just still be bad, but it felt like f-smash and shotgun were a little overtuned, but that's totally normal for a game in alpha and the fact that that was all that stood out to us was very impressive. We are both incredibly excited to see where this game goes and will be watching closely.
P.S. The inclusion of shinespark and speed-booster made me unbelievably happy. My only gripe is I want to use them in versus SO BAD
