Man, this is what I want.

Like I said earlier though, because it’s Arc System Works I can see things like Puppet Characters being a part of this. I’m looking toward to playing the next true puppet character like Carl. Been looking for that for a long ass time.

This to me is still what peak fighting game control and mastery looks like by the Carl player Ryusei (although dude seems obnoxious)


Dude made it nearly a 1P game vs the greatest Blazblue player of all-time.

Seeing some character playing like Nyne the Phantom would be great and makes sense.

I still want to see a charge-based puppet character. That’d probably melt some minds to play.


I never played any fighting games outside of Capcom stuff and Smash. Can you explain what a puppet character is? From the clip it honestly looks like the Carl breh is playing with an assist character (ala MvC). This also seems similar to Rosalina & Luma in Smash.

@DonkeyPuncher718 You still in here breh? :ohhh:

I might have to come out of retirement for this one. I remember playing against you in a netbuild of Street Fighter Alpha 2. Had to be in like 2007 or something. :flabbynsick:

I guess I havent been posting as much as before but im still here breh!!!


Im sure we played many fighting games on the 360 or PS4 I still have them all lol

Even though we are living through another fighting game renaissance unseen since the late 90's early 00's its me getting more :flabbynsick: I just aint playing online the same. I'll play arcade mode fukk around in training then go tplay something else. I dont think i have played SF6 against anyone here since the first week it came out and we are in season 3 now. I have Fatal Fury and havent played anyone here. Same thing for Tekken 8 and Mortal Kombat 1. My competitve fire is shot and i dont know how when or if its ever going to come back

On topic this game is like a fukkig fever dream. Did not think I would live to see Capcom not be the standard when it comes to Marvel fighting games but here we are. I actaully though Netherrealm studios was going to get it and we would get the Marvel version of Injustice :camby:but thankfully Arcsys got it and we are seeing some AMAZING shyt I mean the Ironman design ALONE is incredible fukking Gundam/Guyver type shyt and I cant wait to see what they do with someone like Venom, Shuma Gorath, or Groot :gladbron:



Im hoping for Silver Surfer(Norrin Radd but we will probably get the female from the upcoming FF movie) Thanos, Adam Warlock and super long shot but Beta Ray Bill:obama:

Yeah it’s basically controlling two characters at once. Carl is the main character with the main life bar. I’m unfamiliar with Smash but Rosalina and Luma IIRC are puppet characters.

There are degrees of puppet characters. Carl/Ada are the most pure puppet dynamic in fighting games. Some games the puppet is more like a set piece you throw/play somewhere. Carl/Ada is you’re more either controlling Carl or Ada trying to get position for setups. They don’t have the same moves however and Ada can’t jump. If you set it up right you can get some nasty unblockable setups.

Problem is getting that setup means playing neutral is going to be tough. Ryusei’s neutral with Carl was beautiful in order to beat Fenrich during that Evo. Carl is one of the best characters in the game, when played peak. However, like 1/100 Carl players are that good, and 1/100 of those players are Evo-good. Most get annihilated in neutral and rarely get their setups established. In a game like Blazblue with all the tricks the roster have, it’s tough. Some characters can expose him badly, and those are the best characters in the game so it makes it tougher. Ryusei isn’t even that elite elite at other fighting games, but that character was ideal for him and fit him like a glove. Carl was my main in that game and never thought I’d see somebody control him that well.

In the other hand, Fenrich is the best player in the game’s history. Fenrich is probably one of the overall best FGC players of all-time. Maybe the best anime fighter player. The guy last month went to Combo Breaker after years of not playing Blazblue and beat the current best Blazblue player in the world and won the whole tournament. So for Ryusei to get that many perfect games and win those sets vs Fenrich who was near his prime at that point is peak FGC play to me imo. That was puppet character mastery.

For the final boss, I think they’ll go with a character. That hasn’t been used yet in a previous game, a MCU rep, or a popular villain at the moment. So either God Emperor Doom, The Beyonder, The Maker, Kang, Knull, Mephisto, or an OC character like they did with Fighterz.

theres the sleeper pick that noone seems to notice
