#MKD has made many big steps forward, the amount of polish and little touches to the gameplay have really fleshed out what was already a strong base gameplay.

I highly recommend checking it out if you want to try a fighting game that does something different.

If you play fighting games, this game is a fun way to break up your routine, and a hell of a love letter to the genre.
If you don't play fighting games, this game is a creative, beginner-friendly way to teach you about a lot of the fundamentals of the genre.
So, yeah, y'all should pick this up.

So maybe it's not a big surprise that fans of a "turn taking" game like VF might like a turn based fighter with similar RPS situations. If you're good at VF, you might also be good at this game.

It's a bit of an oversimplification, but VF has a lot of strong "rock paper scissors" situations: attacks are throw immune, blocking ends the attacker's "turn", and throws will catch a blocking player. This "three structure" exists in all fighting games, but it's especially clear in VF.

Something unintended but funny I'm noticing about Mega Knockdown is despite this game being like a turn based Street Fighter, many of the biggest fans are Virtua Fighter sickos

Woolie & friends actually once checked out a really early version of the game! I remember he mentioned he might give it another look once we do the full release.

Occasionally I'll do a piece that doesn't exactly work as intended, but still works as a gag.

Does anyone have any recommendations for content creators (any size) in the FGC who would be interested in checking out an interesting indie fighting game? I have some review keys to give out.

Tag them here and I can reach out! Or if you do videos/streams/articles about fighting games, DM me!
