like do ppl really think some random 8 year old who plays pokemon for fun is going to sit there and give a shit about evs and ivs and natures and movesets and items. like... no. they are going to teach their cinderaces flamethrower even tho that thing is a physical attacker. kids do not care

10. Kirby Superstar

It's pretty solid. The movesets are reallywell done and the generalgamefeel/moment to moment gameplay is fun. Wish there was more difference between the campaigns though, they feel kinda repetitive. Meta Knights Revenge is probably the standout imho.

a lot of pokemon have weird competitive movesets like normal type pokemon in gen 1 having straight up access to BLIZZARD

Ok am I the only person who genuinely hated Conquest?
The whole enemy skill
based movesets was incredibly annoying, and the map design was honestly not that great compared to other games.
I genuinely don’t understand why every loves it so much. It freaks me out. Feels like I missed the memo.

this phenomenon is observed at an extreme scale in skylanders: swap force (hence the name). theres 256 unique skylanders swap force guys, but only 32 movesets (16 top 16 bottom).

The community members are coming up with fan Movesets and I must unfortunately report that they're funnier than mine

nioh 3 is very fun and I am likingit but I would like samura/ninja points to show up faster so I could like. play with fuller weapon movesets faster...I understand they want to onboard you into the complexities of the game esp with ninja+samurai stance and all but. my cestus moves...my grapples...

i often tend to prefer smash mods that are genuine and with a lot of effort (custom movesets and all the cool bells and whistles) but goddamn, the more ironic meme ones are funny as fuck

Charlie Brown vs Goku comes to mind

falcom man getting into smash would be very funny because he would get nintendo fans angry (despite sakurai being the 6th person ever to beat xanadu) because he is anime and smash fans would be angry because they would all have the most boring movesets

Ahhh. They took away all the movement, the dash cancels, & assists but in return gave everyone an insane game changing unique x factor darkforce install that is crazy

Characters feel worse, but their movesets are more unique? But there are less cool combos?

Idk this feels like a party fighter lol
New anime slop dropped. I genuinely really love the first 2 games and think they're the most fun licensed shonen arena fighters from a fighting game perspective, but this one changed a lot of the mechanics of the previous games so I hope I don't hate it!

enjoying the bits of ninja gaiden that are in the nioh 3 ninja style movesets
February 6, 2026 at 7:44 PM
oh god one of the skill nodes for Flash Attack references switching weapons. am i seriously gonna be packing two Ninja movesets.

I PLAYED A SOLID CHUNK OF 1 & 2 IT GIVES THAT VIBE.......they lean a little harder into lvl5's general aesthetic than the new one which is why I feel it leans monster rancher over the others. But fight baby guys get eggs then they're your guys and they all have special movesets. What's not to like

I really hate how arbitrary and restrictive movesets are like why can’t the bastard sword get a thrust like the claymore? All great swords should be half-sword-able fuck balance.
February 6, 2026 at 5:31 PM
I'm not a shooter for them but I appreciate the input diversity they add to movesets. Also you can block while setting it up which is what I was doing a lot i Strive with Axl before they were changed to a quarter circle

For me there wasn’t much to learn with the movesets being dramatically reduced. Movement sucked because of how unsafe it was. Neutral sucked because just guard punished you for poking. Brave Edge felt like a waste of meter compared to saving it for GI/CE.

So many demons in smt4 have movesets that directly clash with their stats it’s funny

A lot of modern games push all of their complexity into the player's "toolkit", ie. movesets, builds, systems, when you could create much more manageable forms of complexity by giving the player a relatively simple toolkit but making the situations that toolkit is applied to more varied and complex

ive heard people go about how the combat is simple, and it is! but theres stuff like the way movesets works for every weapon, like the zweihander r1 has big sweeps that will bonk the walls if you're in a tight corridor, but the heavy attack is an overhead slam that works great in those situations
February 6, 2026 at 12:11 AM
There's actually very little actually "new" stuff. This is disappointing on its own, but if you are gonna copy your own work then at least bring in all the good bits. They reused Aragami movesets for the DLC bosses, so I don't know why they wouldn't do it here.
February 5, 2026 at 10:31 PM
I think that the main issue is that Shift wasn't able to reuse assets in a way that hid that feeling. The enemies are a good example of this, where they are all bipedal and attack with a weapon. Enemies have different movesets but look the same. Others have the same moves but look different.

Meanwhile, BDSP was worse than both Gen 8 AND Gen 4 battling. If you wanted modern Pokemon, Play SwSh; if you wanted the classic Gen 4 experience, play Showdown. It offered NOTHING the comp. scene. All it did was take features & movesets away.
(2/2)

i played like 400 hours of nioh2 and they definitely cut away at those weapons movesets.
February 5, 2026 at 12:36 PM
frame by frame/tas style combat with custom/build your own movesets, using swords and other weapons with like fire emblem style three houses shit
