We need to talk about the Hunter x Hunter fighting game...

The artstyle doesn't bother me too much but the animations do. It feels like none of the characters have distinct personalities.

Anime fans: yo this game looks like ass it's gonna be bad Fgc fans: YO THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE ASS ITS GONNA BE PEAK 8ING

its not an arena fighter, its already ahead in my book

I feel like ppl don't know what "Switch Games" actually are, Switch has Bayonetta 2, Nier, Mario Odyssey, Astral Chain, Smash Ultimate, Zelda and multiple games with really beautiful graphics... This is looking like a wii game tbh...

As a long time hxh fan I'm just happy we are getting a game at all. Hopefully it doesn't go on hiatus...😅

Me: Um...MVC3 and Tatsunoko, old school bro? Jmcrofts: --Lets be honest, that was like fifteen years ago. Me: ...

This shit coming straight to Gamecube

what sucks is if this does bad devs probably won’t give another shot like this for hxh or another anime depending on how bad it does. i think the budget is holding it back immensely /:

Generally my only complaint is they look like they are fighting on a greenscreen. The lack of music is a bit off puttin but that is clearly because it's not finished

its not an arena fighter all i hoped for has been answered

Honestly not every fighting game release needs to be on the headlines of every major tournament or esports focused. I am happy with playing more niche games as long as I have someone to play with and interesting mechanics to keep me invested long term.

I honestly want this game to succeed enough to send a message that anime fighting games can work, tired of having 3D arena anime fightsrs. I know graphically it looks bad, but the gameplay looks so damn fun, I've been wanting a fighting game for HxH for so long and I hope that more anime games turn into 2D fighters instead of 3D arena fighters

I found out years ago that visual presentation is very important for fighting games Fighting games with good art direction, visual style, camera works, etc have better player retention since those kind of stuff improve playing and watching experience

A lot of the characters in HxH would be pretty wild if adapted accurately to the source. Even just with Kurapika in the main roster here, he has moves that he's usually only allowed to use against very specific characters or else he'd die outright. From footage we've seen it looks like at least one super just kinda...stops partway and doesn't seem as flashy as the others, so I'm betting on them just making his moves do more damage to those specific characters. But obviously that would kind of ruin balance in a way that isn't fun (like how every One Piece game doesn't let Sanji hit women) so I don't know how far they'll go. I really want to see Knuckle in here. He looks like a Japanese delinquent whose power is based around...bankruptcy. Basically, he attacks you and loans you energy and if you can't pay back that debt he takes no damage from the attack and eventually your own powers get sealed if you let the "interest" accrue too high. I'd love to see how they'd handle that in a game like this. I'm sure this game's not able to go as crazy as they'd like with that comically low budget, so I'll just be grateful with what we get....provided it isn't full price.

Honestly you look way better bald. You’re one of those guys

Wasnt interested in this game until TvC was mentioned

I honestly wish kite is in the game as like a random stance character (he has in the manga 9 possible weapons and we have seen only 3. It works like a roulette, he activates his ability and it gives him a random weapon)

Can't wait to play this on my PSP, I hope it gets a DS port too. Could also be sick on a dream cast with its built in dial up modem for multi-player, just gotta find some one who still offers dial up internet.

If this launches for over 40 bucks, it's gonna be dead on arrival unfortunately. Even that may be too much for people with how the game looks. I wasn't expecting it to look amazing, but damn I'd have spent so much money on a game even half as good looking as FighterZ. I looooooooooove Hunter x Hunter, so it's a bummer this is the best we're gonna get. It 100% could have been big with a proper budget.

. . . I'm going to get a lot of backlash from H×H fans, but i literally thought i saw Phoenix Wright
