Also having too much fun testing them, I've had this idea since adding ring outs lol

Goto's fireball followups are good for setting up guesses on knockdown, but did you know they're also good combo tools?

Vince was originally going to have his buff be timed, and you could use any buffed move unlimited times in that state. Think I decided against this because it felt awkward in practice.

Early first test at hand-drawn VFX before getting the process down. Some of the moves were still pixel before later deciding on drawing all effects that have a hitbox.

HF2 just passed 5000 wishlists...! Can't thank everyone enough for supporting me throughout development.
Going to post a few early gameplay clips to celebrate. I was still finalizing mechanics here, and thought about only certain moves knocking down.

Hmm...too cluttered, or just fine?
I want easy access to all the modes from the main menu without it getting too messy...
