GOD FUCKING DAMN IT, ARCSYS

I WANT TO LOVE GGXRD'S STORY MODE BUT IT'S JUST SO STALE COMPARED TO WHAT I KNOW YOU FAGGOTS CAN DO

are you mentally deficient, user-kun?

no but you might be.
having each characters arcade mode have a little story attached to it is pretty cool because you can choose your favorite character and see where they end up at the end of the tournament.
story is a good reward at the end of a hard fought battle.

No, but you probably are, since there literally is a story mode in GGXrd, and I blasted 20 hours in just the main gameplay before touching the it, getting some combos, clearing everyone's arcade mode and getting some online play in. I don't play these for the stories but if it's there, I'm going to play it. My expectations were low coming in, but not THIS fucking low. Hell, Blazblue's story modes, for all we can say about the writing, was actually fun since it was involving.

Just add in some fights for each character here. That's all I wanted. Why did ArcSys spend so much time on the animations that they forgot the game?

...

It's 2016! The audience demands content for their games and aren't all aiming to be competitive game fighters. We don't need another SFV.

Faust is my husbando in this game, he is so delightfully themed, daft and fun to control

Sm4sh has no story and you fuckers eat that shit up like candy.

Oh wait, it's not a fighting game is it?

Eeeeh, not recently. I 100% the 3DS version, but I can't do the same for the Wii U one somehow.
