Weve updated the Fantasy Strike matchmaking servers with several fixes. These fixes are in effect right now and do not require players to download a patch (because they are all server-side fixes). Heres whats fixed: --The servers performance has been optimized, meaning it can handle more players without getting overloaded. --Fixed several problems with the matchmaking algorithm that only arose with our new much higher number of players in the queue. Its correct that if the server cant find an opponent of similar skill level for you in casual play or player of the same league in ranked play that it will then expand its search. The problem is that, ironically, when a lot of players are in the queue it was much more likely to expand the search for no good reason. Now you will (on average) find much closer skill matches than you did since our free-to-play launch. --When getting in the matchmaking queue, you will now have a minimum wait time of 7 seconds (rather than 0 seconds). This ensures the matchmaking process has a chance to run its course, rather than instantly give you an iffy skill match while other better matches just werent quite computed yet. --Fixed a bug that could give you the same opponent over and over in the matchmaking queue, even when other suitable opponents were available. --Fixed a bug that could cause the ping check with your opponents to fail. If you were the victim of this bug, you would likely get a bunch of bad 1-bar connections to opponents, even though opponents with much better connections were available. --Fixed an issue with Friend TV (for Fantasy+ members) that caused it to often wrongly claim there are 0 available replays to watch. --Fixed an issue where the server generated log files so big that it would eventually force the server to restart every few days, which then locked out matchmaking for a few minutes each time. --Fixed the visual display of the double XP bonus for Fantasy+ members. These players really have been getting double XP all along (which helps characters get to level 20 so they can wear master costumes) but the score screen has been wrongly showing non-doubled XP values. Now the displayed XP is correctly doubled.

If You’re New To Fighting Games
Designed to work great on keyboard, no need for a special controller. We’ve streamlined the genre to get you to the fun decision-making part as soon as possible. All moves are just a single button press, combos are easy, move lists are concise. We’ve cut the chaff to focus on the heart of the genre so we can show you why fighting games are awesome.If You’re a Veteran
This game is designed by an ex-Street Fighter dev and hardcore player for play in tournaments. Mixups, rushdown, zoning, and the grapplers seeming too powerful on day 1. It’s got all that. And you can play it with pretty much anyone in the fighting game community, no matter what other fighting game they play, because you can all reach basic competency in Fantasy Strike in minutes and start playing for real. Plus you can play with a joystick, gamepad, Guitar Hero controller, or whatever else you want.Bullet Points
- Excellent online play. We are not aware of better networking tech in any other fighting game, and we're sorry about how that sounds. Custom implementation of GGPO networking technology.
- One-click challenges, one-click spectating. To play a friend, go to your in-game friends list and click on the crossed swords by any name to challenge them. Or click on the eyeball to watch them play. That’s it!
- Online quick match. Just pick a character, click ready, and you're playing online.
- Arcade mode. With illustrated, voiced story intros and endings.
- Survival modes. How long can you last in these four sub-modes? Each is a rapid-fire series of opponents with no loading times between them. Opponents get stronger as you go and include Shadow Bosses.
- Daily Challenge. An endless survival mode that you can only play ONCE per day.
See how you do compared everyone else that day.
- Practice mode. Includes dynamic frame data and frame-step features.
- Local versus. Play standard 1v1 and also 3v3 team battle (each player picks 3 characters and plays a special best 3 out of 5 series).

- Spotlight Videos. Every character has their own spotlight video, a narrated tour by game director David Sirlin. Each video goes though that character's moves and what their general gameplan and strategy is about.
- Unique throw escape. To escape (normal) throws, simply let go of all your controls! You'll automatically "yomi" counter any throw attempt.
