Mastering the Fist of Discomfort 2 mini-game
In Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers you'll be taking on the best of the best as your team strives to reach the top of the legendary Fist of Discomfort 2 world rankings. Here are some insider tips and tricks to prepare you on your journey to becoming an FoD2 CHAMPION!
Originally conceived by designer Jason Takeshi as a fun side project to combat the monotony of his day job, Fist of Discomfort rapidly gained a huge following of devoted fans. Now the game's sequel is lighting up the world of competitive esports, with challengers from all corners of the globe battling it out to be crowned champion. Entire gaming careers are being made and shattered in the name of Fist of Discomfort!
Tournament season is here and the competition is fierce! Only the top 8 officially sponsored esports teams can be put through to compete. You'll soon find yourself pitted against some serious fighters, including members of L7, The Four Heavenly Kings, and arch rivals - Team Play-2-Win.
Typically played in teams of two, the aim is to defeat your opponents by achieving the highest score over four rounds, represented in-game by the seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. At the start of each round youll choose from one of three actions for your character to perform: Attack! Defend! Special! All moves have a specific counter, for example; Attacking will power through an opponent's Special move while a Special move can get around an enemy's Defence.
FoD2 is as much a mind game as it is a straight-up brawler. To guarantee victory one must first know how their opponent will react. FoD2 is, in a nutshell, all about anticipation. So constantly being on the attack is no use against a player that likes to play defensively.
Strategic use of an ultimate ability can also change the tide of battle. This once-per-game move is totally unavoidable, awarding a massive point bonus unless countered by another ultimate.
Another way to score bonus points is to choose a move that matches your personality! As we covered in a previous post you will develop specific personality traits based on the decisions you make throughout Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers. Whether that be quirky, steady, kindly, or gutsy, you name it, these traits will match up with certain actions and give you a particular edge in battle. Beware, your opponents also gain a personality advantage so basing your strategy on your own emotions alone may not always be the best idea!
