Juggling is without doubt one of the mechanic that specialists in preventing video games often count on to have. It presents an opportunity to keep away from it to the receiving participant. And it presents probably excessive punishment, sure to the talent of the attacker.
Once I say punishment, I imply, after all, that to juggle the transfer ought to be clear and simple to keep away from… Why would the opposite participant not achieve this? It could possibly be as a result of they did not know, or did not discover, or as a result of they have been in an animation. Which could possibly be an assault with lengthy restoration animation that did not join (and is being punished), or… … they’re falling… maybe as a result of they’re being juggled.
So, sure, they’re NOT newbie pleasant. In the end it’s prevalent in preventing video games as a result of these video games goal knowledgeable gamers. And if that’s the viewers you need, then think about together with it too.
Maybe you’re making a extra newbie pleasant preventing sport. Wherein case, I’d recommend the train of design by elimination. Look that mechanics, see what doesn’t match, and do not embody that. Below this method, making a preventing sport with out juggling makes excellent sense.
However are you making a preventing sport? What I am going to say may sound like splitting hairs. However the line between genres could be fussy. For this reply, think about genres to be clusters of mechanically problem and aesthetics given a reputation by advertising and marketing.
You will have been looking for preventing video games, and you might be discovering these video games with juggling. So advertising and marketing says preventing video games have juggling. In case your sport doesn’t have juggling, maybe it is not a preventing video games. There isn’t any disgrace on that.
What I am suggesting is that considering that you’re making a preventing sport will not be serving to you. In actual fact, it appears to me that “wrestling sport” is a greater match (I may be flawed on that). If you happen to take a look at wrestling video games, you’ll see extra life like fight, with nearly no juggling.
You’ll be able to take into consideration the audience of your sport, and think about the sport style they need and their stage of mastery of that style, and attempt to make a sport that matches that… Or you can also make the sport you need, with the mechanics you need, after which see the place it matches. And it would find yourself becoming someplace you did not count on. And maybe you discover that your sport matches a selected style, after which take as reference different video games in that style.
So take a look at wrestling video games and different adjoining genres. It may be merely that you’re taking the flawed references.
Addendum: You must also distinction the 2D and 3D variants of those genres.
