what does Kenny do?

Kenny, from what I understand, has the potential to have every other characters divekick. But he only has one per round and each round it changes?

That's correct each round he takes on the jump and kick properties of a different character. He keeps his own air and ground specials, "soul ball" or something like that. It holds you in place for a moment..

@rayeth: DK is the only reason I went to CEO this weekend and it was glorious! The arcade cab they had was amazing, the game was fresh and hot off the presses, latest build, it was so good. Dave mentioned on the stream last week we should be seeing some type of compatibility demo in the next few weeks. I cant wait

I can't wait to be S-Kill and shell out copies of Unlimited Divekick Super Tournament HD when I win.

Got to actually play this a month ago. It is an experience that must be felt in person; the game is legitimately fun.

Dive Kick is becoming a parody of itself, it should have stayed the 2 characters game it used to be, moving away from its original simplicity will prevent it from becoming a real tournament fighting game, it'll be a side attraction along mortal kombat at EVO.

  • At no point was Divekick only two characters, the least it's ever been was 5 when the prototype version debuted at UFGT8 last year, Dive, Kick, Kung Pao, Mr. N and Redacted.
  • Divekick won't be a real tournament fighting game? Tell that to the 100+ people who entered Divekick at CEO this weekend (4th only behind SF, Marvel and Injustice) and the 12,000 who watched the finals on Saturday.
  • This isn't related to Divekick, but for the record, in its 3 years at EVO Mortal Kombat has never been a side attraction, it's been a fully featured official tournament.

Spirit Bullet. Check the GB wiki page if you're not sure about anything, I assure you it's completely up to date.

I think they need to have a character subtlety based on someone from the Bomb Squad. I haven't seen coverage of this game anywhere other than Giant Bomb.

That's the first time I've seen Lang without a cap. He...looks like my great-uncle.

I don't like these trailers at all but the game looks like it's gonna be silly, surprisingly deep fun.

I don't understand how this is actually a real game, some jokes go too far. I scratch my head at the idea of people paying money for this.

It's still funny though. Kung Pao.

"The Baz" appears to fight in a wrestling ring. Could it be Baz McMahon of VGCW?!

He's actually Zubaz, a cancelled character from Street Fighter II, resurrected by Matt, Patt, and Woolie at Two Best Friends Play, who do excellent Let's Plays and other great videos. They are the second funniest people who play games on the internet other than Giant Bomb. Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ5gLGWcKBY

@sooty: Because despite the fact that its premise is an FGC joke, the actual game has an incredible amount of mindgames and strategy involved. It's all about knowing when, where, and how to attack, and figuring out what your opponent is thinking about these things at the same time.

It's actually a lot of fun to play if you actually play it properly and not just mash. It's surprisingly deep and the Iron Galaxy guys have done a good job actually making characters as balanced as possible. A lot of people give this game so much shit because of it's presentation but if you actually try it out and play against people who know what they're doing it's pretty good. No need for great execution, it's all mind games.

1:03 Markman...is that Jeff?

Nope it's based on a REAL PERSON named Mark Julio AKA Markman who is also a prominent member of the community and is responsible for designing the Mad Catz Fighting Game sticks and works as the community and sponsorship manager of Mad Catz.

All I have to say is that I kinda want Dave Lang and Iron Galaxy to do their own version of The Office like in these videos. Just imagine Dave Lang cursing everyone out every week...

I hope this game becomes some kind of crazy over the top sleeper hit, sells millions of copies and puts Dave Lang in the position to do what ever he wants.

Was Markman supposed to be Jeff?

I thought so too. He might have a long lost twin out there.

It's super sad that some people are angry that this game isn't just a joke. I mean, it's still a joke, but it's a joke that actually plays really well and is a functional game that has some interesting characters.

Like, do people not realize that if they didn't take it seriously and have some vision, it would just play like garbage and no one would give a shit?

This is pretty great, and only gets better. I'd love to see the spreadsheets detailing the balancing for all these characters.

Dave Lang is what would happen if Steve Ballmer had any self-awareness.
