Info
The Throwdown Theory is a 6-button 2D fighter taking inspiration from arcade fighters from the past. Characters not only differ in design and move lists, but also their interaction with the movement systems and combo systems.
Cast:
Alita: The Fist Flinging Phenom (currently in development)
The rest are to be revealed, a total of 12 planned for the base cast.
The game in terms of mechanics is intended to include:
- Normal to Special Cancels, Aka “Special cancels” (pretty basic stuff for most fighting games)
- Canceling specials into movement, Aka “Dash Cancel”
- Canceling block stun into movement Aka “Guard Cancels”
- Enhanced special moves
- Super moves that cost 3 bars of meter but can be amplified with at maximum 2 bars more.
- No air reset system, allowing for a more open combo system.
- Quick get up.
- Unique states instilled on punished attacks.
- Unique abilities among the cast (Example: A well-timed forward Dash for Alita can duck under projectiles.)
- and potentially more
