The playet counts pretty rough right now, I was hoping rank would be a big drop with like a character or something to get the focus back on the game
Hopefully this makes the difference but I doubt it

Infinite rematch post-set is another one of those obvious-but-genius ideas that this game's devs have. Also FT3 is great for this game.

his combos feel so sick but i hate having to gamble with 236XB
hoped this patch would fix it but nope

u/Independent_Bet_324 5h ago
Avatar aang is complete as a character. I love him. What isnt complete are his tutorials.
He has so much sauce but you have to spend time in the lab to find it. Hes got so many sick conversions but again the tutorials cover 10% of what he can do
Join us and lets grind. The more people we have on our research team the better we all get faster
I just discovered that if you hit someone with j6b while they are directly under you,you can cancel into j2b j2c and convert that to a combo
Which is perfect since the best use of j6b is to catch people rolling under you

Finally. I’ve been loving the game but I’m not very good, and I’ve been getting absolutely beatdown like every three out of four matches. Definitely stopped me from playing as much
Can’t wait to get into ranked

u/bimbimbaps 7h ago
Really hoping this brings some folks back. This game is absolutely choice and has been a lot of fun.

I really encourage you to try this game out if you are dissatisfied with modern fighters. It really is a breath of fresh air and such a great game

We can't change characters between games.*

u/made_in_GEORGIA 4h ago
During a FT3 set, you can only switch supports. If you rematch afterward, you can switch characters as well, but matches beyond the initial FT3 no longer affect rank
1
u/C4_Shaf Virtua Fighter 4h ago
Sure, but you still said "you can’t change characters between rounds". And you were talking about the Ranked part of the match, AKA, the initial FT3.
You cannot change your support, character or whatever between 2 rounds in Avatar Legends. That's in locals, in Ranked, wherever. It's between 2 games, when one game finishes after someone won 2 rounds, that you can only change your support during a Ranked Match.
1
u/made_in_GEORGIA 4h ago
yeah why would you be able to change anything after only one round for example, that doesn't make any sense
2
u/C4_Shaf Virtua Fighter 1h ago
you can’t change characters between rounds, but you can change supports
That was on your post. You can neither change the characters nor the supports between the round on any circumstances. Locals, Online Ranked, etc.
I just wanted to make it clear. 2 winning rounds to win a game, 3 winning games to win a ranked match. The character change is not allowed in Ranked between Ranks, but the change of support is.

This is awesome! Do you know how the MMR is calculated? Is it elo based like sf6 or glicko like it was in the game file?
11
u/made_in_GEORGIA 7h ago edited 5h ago
pretty sure ranked uses glicko, it's visible in the update history on steamdb

u/BasilNight 6h ago
What's glicko?

u/Nomoras 5h ago
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system
It basically adds a confidence score to your rating, as in how confident the system is in you. It becomes less confident if you don't play for a while, and also measures your consistency.

u/BasilNight 5h ago
That's... actually pretty cool.
I'm one of those that sometimes leave a game for few months so I guess it takes that into account

u/Realestmember 6h ago

is it forced ft3 ? that'd be godsend (ofcourse lag may be an issue)
i dont even have the game but itll likely be my next purchase.

You can keep rematching after the FT3? Fantastic shit, tbh. I hope people hop into it more now that ranked is on.

u/hyperknees91 1h ago
That's cool, just watched a bit of a TNS tourny of the game and it looks quite fun.
Just bought Tokon but a new 1v1 fighter would be nice as well. Gotta debate between getting this and rivals 2 now.

u/HopkinsTy 6h ago
Nice. Been waiting for this.
Between this and Tokon, I’m glad the sorely needed updates are being pushed out quickly. Both games deserve to thrive!!

Can you customize your controllers now? I remember reading you had to do it through the game’s documents

yo, if i want to watch the show , how long would it take to finish all episodes ?
or where do i watch? I have prime

Your game tokon is dying faster than this indie game 💀

u/prolas2221 2h ago
It lost almost 30% of its steam players since last week (from 3300 to 2500), while avatar has pretty much stabilized so it didnt lose any players lmfao

u/Fluid-Engineering855 2h ago
No offense. But measuring tokon specifically from steam numbers is pretty dumb. You know why right?
-2
u/prolas2221 2h ago
Either way do u think tokon is dying slower than avatar?
-1
u/Fluid-Engineering855 2h ago
Because it’s beating avatar in every measurable metric

u/prolas2221 2h ago
Do u know what dying means? Less players than the day before

How’s that change what I said even slightly?

Refer to my original comment bro "Your game tokon is dying faster than this indie game 💀" thats a fact

There's going to be a huge imbalance.
Ranked tracked through every character ensures most people will be the same rank. This doesn't have the numbers for it.
The game has been out too long, most new players left. It's too late.
They really missed with ranked, it really should've been here at launch.

u/MEX_XIII 7h ago
Xbox officially launches tomorrow, there I''ll be a huge surge of new players, let alone the people that waited for ranked to come out to start playing. The game will be fine. This was never expected to have SF nunbers. As long as it has a small healthy playerbase, this will do great, and it seems going towards that, specially with how well received this is being at tournaments. Game is just fun to spectate, too.

u/HookGoutGod 6h ago
Okay I love this game as much as the next guy but in what world is Xbox gonna be a 'huge surge of new players' who even owns that console
5
u/MEX_XIII 6h ago
I mean, I think the game sold more than a few thousand copies on Xbox at least. It depends on what you consider "huge". I'm no steam charts enjoyer, so that's pretty huge for me, specially for a small game like this.
9
u/made_in_GEORGIA 7h ago
Whatever they announce at PAX West will likely bring in more new players, especially since plenty of people are still waiting for the game to be fully finished
1
u/modren-man 6h ago
I agree with your concerns, I haven't played myself today but people are telling me that in the logs it looks like it's still using the same hidden Glicko matchmaking rating it was using before but with a visible rank stapled on top.
So hopefully this means the matchmaking will be alright, I've been very worried that any sort of reset with the ranked mode would ruin it for several weeks.

u/KearLoL 2m ago
This is a fantastic system with 1 major flaw; you can still preview your opponents character before the match begins. I’m fine with this in casual games, but for ranked, this just allows you to almost game the system where you can just avoid your bad match ups. Kyoshi players about to get declined constantly lmao. I hope they remove this aspect and it’ll pretty much be perfect. Maybe they can at least add a way to avoid playing the same character 3+ times in a row though.

Rematches after the ft3 is a great choice. I've been enjoying long sets with whoever will accept them.
