r/InvincibleVS

If I don't participate in the event to unlock it, will there be a future way to get it? For example, by paying?

Why are the majority of players playing this game on WiFi? Why do any players who play fighting games play WiFi? It is worse and only makes a bad experience for everyone involved like it’s not fun no one learns anything because it’s laggy, tournament standard is wired connection so why get good at a game if you know you aren’t learning or really getting good because you are crippling yourself and those around you by playing on WiFi a Ethernet cable is 20$ people it’s not hard to get a wired connection

Everywhere I look for InvincibleVS discussion I see a gif of a tumbleweed and nothing else. Why is this game dead?

Invincible the character is so good with his 6S into assist for pressure with no gaps then if you spend meter on his 5S on the opponents wake up at best you get a full combo break their armor and at worst trade, not a lot of characters beat that armor and the mix between his 15 frames low 2M that is not punishable by much so he’ll just armor after or 6S into pressure again and yes I can push block but why waste all my meter on push blocking when he just 6S into me again. I’m not saying I struggle with this character online or am saying he’s “unbeatable” but he is WAAAY too good and also way too simple like he’s a good starter character but he’s so good no one would have a reason to stop playing him (other then personal choice obviously) I genuinely hate this character and I see him all the time so I’d prefer if he was just ok not THIS good

This is a game tie in to a show, it's basically an indie or something and there will never be long heavy support and patchwork done like street fighter or mortal Kombat or whatever, it's not happening, deal with it and have fun. I'll be amazed if patches continue to come out after the first year.

InvincibleVs is a very fun game, but I think some of its mechanics aren’t polished enough and encourage/reward poor play.

Heroic Strike provides way too much mileage in this game. In most fighting games, Alpha Counters are primarily used as a defensive mechanic to get the opponent off of you. However, this game allows you to combo off of Heroic Strike, and it creates an automatic 50/50 situation. A defensive mechanic shouldn’t be this strong because it rewards passive play a little too much.
Any time you’re playing neutral and you make your opponent block, you have to preemptively anticipate and react to the Heroic Strike with an armor-piercing move in order to counter it, which is easier said than done, given they can use it at any point during your block-string.

The fact that you can tag after a Heroic Strike, replenish your meter, and immediately do another Heroic Strike and force your opponent to guess again is a bit exploitive. It becomes repetitive and gets tiresome after a while.
For lack of a better term, this is an extremely scrubby mechanic, and I think they should either remove the ability to tag off of Heroic Strike or, at the very least, make the character tagging in consume two bars of meter. That would make the mechanic less repetitive throughout a match.
Before anyone jumps down my throat, I still win and perform well in my matches.

However, I find myself getting hit by this mechanic more often than I do in neutral, and I see other players getting caught by it as well. In my opinion, it’s simply too strong of a defensive mechanic and rewards lazy players who don’t know how to block.

To preface, I'm not great at fighting games, and I tend to stick to offline PVE content. I'm currently lvl 31, and I just reached my first and only two lvl 20's with Kate and Ella. According to Steam, I have about 17hrs in the game since launch, so I'm very casual. I like Invincible as an IP and I love having the cool costumes that come straight out of the show. I wasn't the biggest fan when they announced the ranked-locked costumes, although I understand that the PVP players want some goodies, too, without having to play PVE content.

Last season I did 1 game of ranked for the Cecil skin. Today I played the 10 games needed to unlock the Invincicast. The experience was less than enjoyable, and that's putting it mildly. I still had to do my placement matches, seeing as I was only 1/10 due to playing for the Cecil skin. Out of the 10 matches, I matched against people who had 4000-8000 points (me having 0 and as a result getting absolutely stomped like there was no tomorrow), had matches were the ping went from good to unbearable the moment I started getting the upperhand, and I even had someone who couldn't bear losing and ragequit to deny me the win. I think I had about 1 game that was enjoyable enough to rematch 2 more rounds. On top of that, waiting for an actual match took forever.

I didn't mind the 1 game for Cecil, but the 10 for the Invincicast were just a very poor experience. I really hope they don't plan on us having to run this unfun of a mode just to unlock a skin in the future, or at least keep it to a minimum or give us alternate ways to obtain it.

I still think Invincible VS is the most fun I've had with a fighting game since a long time, but the ranked mode definitely takes a lot of fun out of it.
