could be a lot better
My biggest problem with it is that you have to use the arrow keys to move. It would be much simpler to use the WASD keys. Also the camera is always really far away making the fighters little more than specks, it would be better to get the camera close enough to actually see the action when someone gets hit.
Not everyone has WASD in a neat cluster. Theres nothing difficult about using the arrow keys =/
If the camera was closer, it becomes more difficult to time deflections. I think I did the best I could to make it playable whilst keeping the camera centred on the action, it was probably the most consuming process.
The game is more about getting the advantage of landing a hit to succesively do more damage, rather than a glossy exhibit of melee.
