Here's another fighting game that is out for PC right now and is coming to consoles later this year. Fantasy Strike is a 2D fighting game which tries to simplify the mechanics while still giving a surprising level of depth. There are 3 attack buttons, A B and C. There are no fireball motions, so each attack button has a neutral, forward, back, and jumping version. A is your normal attack, B and C are different special attacks. There is also no crouching or dashing. No crouching means that blocking is simply holding back, with no high or low mix ups to worry about. While it may seem that these changes would make the game rather simplistic, there are still moves with invincibility, advantage/disadvantage on block, chip damage, combos, crossups when jumping, etc. Throws and Supers also have their own button, and it's possible to use either the traditional up direction for jumping or even have a jump button.
While I haven't tried this yet, I've listened to videos on Youtube and while the sound isn't at the same standards as Injustice 2 for example everything is in stereo and sounds quite good. I'll probably get it this weekend and will let you know more of my thoughts once I've played it.
You can get it for $20 at https://store.steampowered.com/app/3905 … sy_Strike/ and while it lists as in Early Access, the game should be fully released very shortly. Here is a video of some people running through the game's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xiz5PXcdFo
I'll be back with my thoughts once I've bought and played it some.
