Can we PLEASE get the choice for in game character select when playing in casual lobbies?
Ever since DBZF, it seems like all fighters are going towards a lobby system that requires premade team comps. While this makes sense in a ranked format, when you're just vibing with friends and running sets it feels so cumbersome.
Like why do I need to exit out of a match, go to a completely separate menu, pick a team, click l3 to set that team to default, exit out (hope that I saved), que up a fight with a FRIEND, and then confirm twice just to realize that I didn't select the right team?
That's an exaggeration for sure, but I hope that you see what I mean.
I understand the benefit of forcing pre-selected teams in ranked or online casuals. However, if playing in a private lobby with friends, I'd like the option of character select upon entry. Make it exactly the same as local versus.
There are literally no downsides. Most of us are chilling in our homes and wanting to play with a friend. Sometimes youwant to discuss team builds.(give us a character select menu timer toggle in room settings) Sometimes you want to help someone choose a character that fits their playstyle. Sometimes you just want to look at costumes/colors and talk about them. Sometimes you wanna go random select and both of you can see it. Sometimes you just want to cool doqn from playing matches for hours and hightlight characters to have convo about them and potential teams. The list goes on.
We're not all against each other... even if we are. 🤣
The only downside that I can see is potiential counterpicking. But, thems the ropes, my dude. If you're playing shoulder to shoulder, then you're gonna see who your opponent is picking. We're not playing in a tournament here. We're just tryna jam.
Do any of you all feel this way? The preset requirement made me want to play GGST and DBFZ less. Even though I loved the games. Can we just have a choice of maybe "Free" and "Tournament" mode? Idk. Just let us choose if we want to have a character select.
The character select screen is our first handshake before glorious battle. Don't take that away from us.
