SNK HEROINES ~Tag Team Frenzy~ is one of a handful of fighters coming to the Switch this year. What makes this game stand out from all the other options? NIS America hosted a live-stream where they revealed some more tidbits about the title.
- this is SNK’s approach to a more approachable King of Fighters
- execution of attacks is simplified into a Light Attack and Heavy Attack button
- special attacks are all done with one button and a directional input like Smash Bros.
- Dream Finishes (the finishing attack) are mapped to R by default
- most characters have two Dream Finishes, either by pressing R or Down + R
- auto-combos are not the most optimal way to play
- the green bar at the top is the life bar, and health is shared between both of your characters
- the rainbow bar is the special meter, and Dream Finishes cost four sections of meter to use
- the character in the background charges their special bar automatically
- when characters use specials with no special meter, they have reduced effects
- the cap on the special meter goes up as health goes down
- switching characters mid-combo costs special meter
- there's some emphasis on air combos
- there is a dedicated Throw button, and Throws can be done on the ground or in the air
- sweeping has been taken out entirely
- optional item feature, where items with various effects can be picked up by attacking yellow glowing orbs
- these are activated with the right stick, and are on by default
- when a character gets into critical health, an SP icon comes up
- this lets players use a special from the character currently in the background
- for online mode, there are traditional lobbies and also quick matches
- four people can play together locally in 2v2 mode, and players can also team up with friends online as well.
- there may be a guest character in the game
- SNK knows that Miss X from SNK Gals’ Fighters is highly requested by fans
- the game will have Story, Tutorial, and Training Modes
