Quite easily the best single flash game, IMO.
.....
Wow.
Just wow.
This is a just a great collaboration between Luis, MindChamber and NegativeOne. The sheer size of the game and the amount of programming this must have taken simply astonish me. Kudos to each of you, especially the art direction. Nice, fluid animation.
The simplicity of the controls and the inventive and arcadey game play and power ups make this just great. I wouldn't be surprised if, the rights being properly acquired, this became a console game.
The top 5 best characters are, in my opinion, these in descending power level :
1. Pico - GREAT Aerial Moves, but you have to keep alternating
moves to keep the damage high. Amazing melee air damage when used correctly. Good projectile to stun opponents with, does mediocre damage.
2. Samurai Asshole - Great Combos, decent damage and juggling second only to ---
3. P-Bot - Greatest juggler in the game, by far, and so-so damage. Crappy projectiles.
4. Convict - Good damage, and good speed and all, but the unpredictability of his transformations is his greatest asset and weakness. Being Pico and suddenly being transformed to Nene will really put a stop to the carnage. Neat animations on his block and attacks, a bit in the vein of the Batman villan Clayface. No projectile of his own, which makes him a bit rubbish at anything except close combat.
5. Salad Fingers - Unfreaking-believable reach, pretty slow, good damage. Salad fingers awkward fighting style is very interesting, and can definitely be used correctly. Projectile is a sort of flashing plushie a la War Machine in Marvel Vs. Capcom. Fair combos.
I just really applaud the effort you guys put into this game. The "Also Appears In" feature was a nice touch if you hadn't seen the character before, and if you wanted to look up their past animations. Just a really great game that absolutely deserves the top spot on the portal.
Thank you for making this, it's simply great. All the major characters of the portal that were fighter-worthy were represented.
Also, anyone having troubles with Convict's last stage, here's a tip :
Use as many items as you can get your hands on, jump around a lot and parry as much as you can when you're in the air. That reduces the damage a lot when you're in a bad position, and you can't take on more then one character at a time.
Divide and conquer.
