Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising Review (Най-лошият играч)
A great fighting game for players new to fighting games as well as more experienced players, allowing the former to instantly have fun while allowing the latter to excel using fundamental fighting game skills.
Good:
- Netcode is excellent, you're not limited because of your location
- Big (32 characters) & varied cast, you'll definitely find characters that match your playstyle
- Deep game despite focusing on being accessible for new players, you'll be challenged for quite some time
- Beautiful 2D graphics, just as we expect from ArcSys games
- Great training mode
- Proper frame data out of the box
- Character guide training content (basic & advanced combos)
- Training for specific scenarios for each character
- Training for specific scenarios vs. each character
- Using a mod you can also very easily add a SF6-style frame counter bar
- Good player & replay search system allowing for lots of discovery about match-ups and tech from the best players
- Good room & lobby system making it easy to set up matches outside of ranked
- Official Discord server with character-specific channels, advice channels for new players, etc.
Bad:
- (Mostly) universal dash move (66L) is still too prominent even after being nerfed, contributes to slight imbalance in cast and makes offense slightly less interesting
- Most character specific channels in the Discord server actually believe collectively their character is much worse than it actually is, lots of dooming about them, only a few are actually correct
- Depending on your predisposition you may find the game to be too focused on aggression (If you like playing zoners in games with less easy aggression you will have to adapt to zoning aggressively or have an incredibly hard time)
- Cross-ups don't exist because you can block both sides with a block button
All in all GBVSR is a good and unique entry in the fighting game market and not one you can replace with any existing or upcoming game in terms of general look and feel or system mechanics. It supports its style and feel with really good online systems and great facilities for players to learn and improve.
