As a Talos all I can say is that when I beat people, I really feel like I outplayed them. Everything feels like an uphill battle =/

Normalize grab immunity.
fullscreen safe slide, hes wakeup ignoring fast 2 hit attack and Dp dash cancel making one of the 2 things i can punish safe.
safe slide and dp cancel is tough. I don't know what you mean by his wakeup. If you mean DP being invun, welcome to every other 2d fighter not made by NRS lol. Yeah it sucks you just gotta be patient and try to bait it out. I few people are pretty trigger happy with. So you could empty jump, or jump a bit early with an attack so they think they can hit. Some people mash it out during pokes and such so if that's happening then intentionally drop your pressure when you think they're getting desperate.

That's grapplers for you. When you learn how and when to use your normals characters like dauntless, crow, edge will be taking risks every time they approach you. It's one of the most fun aspects of fighters to me :D

If anyone has a spare key, I will trade dirty deeds done dirt cheap for it. Watched 2BFriends play it and was instantly interested in trying it out.

I figured that might have been you haha, ggs! I'm getting bodied by alot of character unfamiliarity but I assume that's the case for a lot of people, only just started PvP today
Yeah the lack of a proper training mode doesn't help there. You'll just have to try to figure stuff out on the fly at the moment.

BTW why do I keep getting locked in place when Crow throws a disc at me? When the disc is in the air I just can't move. Is it a bug or is it supposed to be like that?

That actually is proximity blocking.
As soon as you hold back with a projectile in front of you you automatically block.
You can dash though.

Here are 2 more alpha codes if some of y'all dudes are hungry for this game:
J3RGO-0MVQF-U09ER-AM7RX-SZPR6
07XH1-2LPRY-HOURE-4AO67-UBAAX

It's all so very confusing.
Got in last night, fiddled for 30 minutes.. So far, loving Crow.

@PND_Mustard - Got any interesting Crow tech to share? I havent had any lab time yet, hoping to get in today and spend some time fiddling.

Also to the fellow Edges out there, I figured out his uppercut juggle thing.

If you do his first special (alpha) once, you get 3 hits off the uppercut juggle, if you do it twice you get 4 hits, if you do it 3 times you get the full juggle (5 hits) with the wall bounce.

Now it all makes sense lol.

Good to know. That also explains why I can jump out but not walk back.

You can actually see on the sword how many charges you have in Stock.

Nothing solid I'm afraid, no human practise dummy means learning setups it's really impractical :(

I'm still pretty bad at this game, trying to just learn as I go.

Is streaming allowed for this game? If so, I'd really like to watch you guys play. This game seems really interesting, and specifically designed for online play makes me happy.

Talos's damage needs to be nerfed, you don't need to do anything to get in on everyone and you do so much damage for no risk.

I'd get into this more if I could figure some stuff out lol. I know it's technical alpha but the 1995 style practice mode is unfortunate for the time being. I'm sure it's on their backlog of things to improve by beta/release.

I doubt anyone can tell but does dash cancelling invincible moves in this game make them safe? Like dauntless dust breaker
