Version 0.9476 UpdateBug Fixes
- If you air throw Noel while she jumps in with vine active, this can no longer cause a trade. Noel will just get thrown (as intended).
- Fixed a situation where Noel Fightning Flurry could do multiple combo hits trading against Lewis using Fist of Euphoria on wakeup.
- A "smart tip" related to punishing correctly will now correctly show up when you're the one doing the punishing, not the other way around.
System Changes
- A recent change gave Noel bonus damage if she hits with an A or B attack when her vine is active, but not hitting directly. This was intended to increase only her combo damage, but it was also making her trades hit harder. For this reason, this bonus now only takes effect if her attack lands first. Vine will no longer make her do more damage during a trade.
- Knockdowns now appear visually to advantage the attacker by +12 instead of +14. This is to bring the perceived frame advantage closer to the actual frame a advantage of a knockdown used for calculating which attack wins in a clash. That number is unchanged at +10 (or +20, as Billy). The visual change was implemented in part to fix the issue noted above with Fightning Flurry.
===
These changes will break some replays involving Noel. A temporary beta branch (access code 'breatheinbreatheout') will allow you to watch replays from this version.

[ 2024-01-06 06:14:59 CET ] [ Original post ] The 2D Fighting Game With a Twist: It's Turn-Based!

Mega Knockdown's
simultaneous turn-based gameplay system makes it a
unique, beginner-friendly fighting game experience that is easy to learn, but hard to master.
Fighting game veterans and newbies alike can jump right in to advanced level mindgames without spending a lot of time learning execution or complex inputs.
Learn fighting games, or teach them to your friends!Gameplay Highlights- Simple controls with no timing requirement
- Experience classic fighting game archetypes: the fireball-throwing martial artist, the grappler, the long-limbed poke specialist, and more!
- Jockey for position and weave in and out of range of attacks. Are you a true master of fighting game footsies? Prove it!
- Get the upper hand on your opponents with a knockdown, and press the advantage with a 'meaty attack' on their wakeup!
- Enrage and astound your friends with a well placed 'tick throw'!
- Express yourself! Do you carefully block and punish your way to victory, or do you assert dominance with a wild and aggressive gameplan?
How does it work?
Each turn, players choose a combat action and a movement action in secret. Then, both players' actions resolve simultaneously over the course of a few seconds. Predicting the opponent's actions and choosing the right counterplay is the key to victory.
The basic actions are
attacks,
blocks and
throws:

- Attacks can beat out other moves through superior range or speed. Some attacks also knock players down, restricting that player's movement and slowing their attacks next turn. This emulates the "wakeup game" seen in most fighting games.
- Blocking prevents damage from attacks, and usually puts the defender at an advantage next turn, or grants a free counter-attack ("punish") against the opponent.
- Throws can break an opponent's guard, but have short range.
The game's six characters also have unique special moves which change how they play the game.
