Full reviews from our roster, weighed on mechanics, matchup depth, and staying power in the lab and online sets
Guilty Gear Strive — Rollback Redemption
Netcode finally matches the visual spectacle. We dug into wall-break setups and oki pressure across three seasons of patches.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising — Buffed and Balanced
A sequel that actually listened to matchup complaints. RC cancels reward footsies over gimmicks, and our lab sessions confirmed the deeper tech.
Fantasy Strike — Simplicity as a Weapon
No motion inputs, no excuse to skip the neutral game. We tested how far reads and spacing carry a roster built around accessibility.
Skullgirls 2nd Encore — Team Comp Chess
Assist-based footsies still hold up years later. We revisited legacy matchup charts and confirmed most punishes remain frame-accurate today.
Melty Blood: Type Lumina — Underrated Depth
Overlooked at launch, this one rewards patience. Our review covers moon select nuance and why the matchup spread stays fresh in ranked.
Them's Fightin' Herds — Community Carried
