This Divekick Trailer is Really Dumb/Great

Well. That was fantastic.

It is pretty much an inside joke of how characters with dive kicks in virtually every 2d-based fighting game are in upper tiers and a few are top tier (e.g. Rufus, Yun, Yang, Akuma in SSFIV:AE, Wolverine in the MVC games, Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat, etc.). As a simplified FG game it actually does have some strategy.

waiting for the IOS free version Jump Punch

Funniest fucking trailer ever.

That was a pretty amazing trailer.

Game of the year right here.

Best idea.

No, divekicking. Jumping and divekicking.

Oh god.

Seems like a unique game that could be pretty popular if priced right. Anything more than 10 dollars would be asking too much, because although it is simplistic by design, I don't know how much weight something this empty could possibly have.

Enter the Lang Zone:

I can already see my name in bright lights, way down at the bottom of the leaderboards. It's gonna be great.

I need this in my face yesterday. Sweet Mary and Joseph.

I am in the Lang zone and I do not feel safe.

GOTY 2013, callin' it.

this is GREAT!!!!

Finally, a game that caters to my needs.

Cyber Kick.

@isomeri: Yeah I think they will, I've seen keits tweeting about it

Is this the Jeff mystery game?

ESPORTS MONSTER IS ALL OVER THIS!

so rad that the fgc is producing its own titles nowadays

I hate to ask this but: Is this going to be for free? I mean it looks kinda fun, but I really can't see myself playing it for more than....5 minutes?

A fighting game that is all about jump kicking? One shot jump kicking?!

Is the bag of mics a hint at Patrick as a DLC character? If so, I'm sold.

Bah, I'm sold anyway. I'm assuming this is for technology not even available yet.

Oh, yes please.

Also I hope that they'll actually sell that gigantic fight pad controller thing with just two mahoosive buttons on it.

I was not sold untill he droped the mic!

da fuk did I just watch?

That was pretty good, I laughed my ass off at the Lang dive kick if you pause the video just when he does it, dat face could melt hearts.

Diving and Kicking action for the whole family!

Not funny. Not dumb enough. Not a trailer.

This looks like an Ouya game.

macho man had the danger zone, giantbomb fans have the langzone,,,,LMFAO! p.s. this reminded me of an 80s wrestling promo, mixed with saturday morning cartoons,, lol

Whoa, I got way too close to the Lang Zone in that video. I almost didn't escape alive.

Its the stripped-down bare minimum essentials of what is a fighting game. It strips away everything to just spacing and timing, the two most important factors of high level play. It expressly shows the things you need to understand to 'get' tournament level fighting game play if you are either interested in just watching streams or playing the games. I see it as a really good, silly gateway for people to understand the games more than "mashing your fists against the buttons".

The trailer's funny. The game is still a waste of everyone's time. I can't even say it looks bad, just... pointless.

Nope, ps3 and pc. Sticking with platforms they can self publish on i assume. To keep costs low on such a small project. Maybe if it sells well it will come to 360.

Dave Lang slamming rinky dink indie operations! Enter the Lang Zone..if you dare..

Is this trailer made exclusively for the Gaint Bomb audience? Cause its awesome!

Oddly enough Rovio made this exact same motion capture joke in a trailer for Bad Piggies a couple weeks ago. Still doesn't stop this from being a fun and awkward trailer.

Also find it funny that right as Dave Lang is complaining about the motion capture artist's lack of ability, one of them actually bounces off the wall and performs about as good a real life dive kick as you could hope for.

Divekick is god tier.

This shit is TOTALLY going to my Vita!

Divekick Endurance Run

Excellent. I haven't liked fighting games since SF2 and Ranma 1/2 but wth this looks like great stupid fun.

I hope this ends up on steam. This looks very fun.
