If you’ve ever played a fighting game where you simply got mauled, and felt like there was nothing you could do to turn the tide in your favor, you likely understand the existence of comeback mechanics in newer titles. While they remain a source of contention among the fighting game community, recent trends show they are here to stay.
In this episode of Exploring Fighting Games, Novriltataki discusses the varied mechanics across series, and which ones do the best at giving players more chances to turn the game around without making it feel like their opponent has wasted an entire game or round on aggression. They also discuss how they feel the mechanics should be addressed going forward.
