NAIR

You can only play with people through invite codes and the CPU doesn't ever attack. There is no setting to fix that. So since I'm the only person I know with this game, I'm out of luck. Also it's hard to get people to play NAIR with me because they think it's the hair product.

Hmm, I'm going to be honest, I never really had a chance to play this game properly because the playerbase seems to have moved on and I can't get an online match, I'm a friendless loser and have no one to play local multiplayer with, and there's not even CPU opponents or anything here, so honestly this review is based mostly on my random guesses as to the nature of this game and the impression I got just messing around doing stuff, but the game just honestly didn't "feel" like a fighting game to me, and I mean the lack of a ground attack and the way the movement in the air felt very "floaty" and undefined and like "however the physics of the situation plays out, man" rather than the fairly rigid predetermined stuff I'm used to just didn't "click" as a fighting game to me, and if I hadn't seen the Steam page describing this as a fighting game and you'd just handed this game to me and asked me what it was, I might have just called it a random party game or something not specifically related to any genre, but honestly this is probably a highly subjective assessment, and as an example, I was never good enough at Marvel VS Capcom 2 to be able to move in anything resembling an effective manner, but tournaments of that game look very much free form and floaty, and so perhaps to somebody used to games like that it would immediately click as "Ah, I see what we're doing here. This is textbook fighting game stuff", but as someone who when they started seriously getting into fighting games was more on games like Street Fighter IV and stuff, this just seems alien to me. Also, I feel I should say in case anyone is wondering, yes, NAIR and DAIR are meaningfully different games and not just the same game twice or an upgraded version of the other or anything, so if you were getting one, it would also be worth it to get the other.

This game is actual fire, new update added music and colour customization, and the netcode is better than like half the fighting game scene for some reason. 10/10 experience unironically.
