Been thinking a lot about 2xko and my time on the project. I briefly want to vocalize what I'm most proud of. We did a lot of great things. We built a lot of champions, a lot of moves, and did an immense amount of polish to make gameplay way cleaner than it was during the Alphas. That's all great, very cool or whatever. But out of everything, there's nothing I'm more proud of than our Frame Bar. - The 10 rollover frames to help readability, so you don't end sequences and need to decipher where you are - The logic of asymmetric hitpause only being visible when projectiles or assists are on screen - The options to toggle assist frame bars on/off for complexity - Showing first active/last startup as a different color so you get accurate startup reads, accommodating our insane decision as an FGC to have 10 startup/5 active be a total of 14 frames - Having it be exactly 120 frames, 2 in-game seconds. - Chargeable frames being visible, so you can see how close you were to min charging - Showing active-state-but-not-active-hitbox as a darker color, and updating all cinematics and throws to use this state (even though it literally has 0 gameplay impact) Designing this thing felt like the culmination of 15 years of being a graphic designer, game designer, fighting game player, and lab monster. I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect. Shoutouts to @adammarkstevens and @phytoporg for making it happen. This thing is a beast and out of everything on this project, I can't believe we got to make it real. A lifetime portfolio piece.
