How when characters are teching out in the air? You can't do that in SFV...
This game's netcode is going to be incredible.
I'm excited to see how many LoL die hards play and stick with this game... if it's even a fraction of them, that will make this one of the most popular fighters out there. And presumably more popularity = larger, more hype tournaments.

If League itself didnt die after trendy game after trendy game pop up, Im pretty sure there would be enough reason for people to stick with it
Plus, it's f2p. A combination like this hasnt really existed before. If only a fraction of the League player base is sticking with it, that's still huge
More than one person has said this already. How does it look anything like SFV outside of being a 2D fighting game?
Textures, animations, saturation, training room. Mostly a take on visuals, but that's most of what we have right now. Aesthetic matters though, at least to me. Happy to recognize distinctions once we have more.
I don't really see it, other than the training room (other FGs have similar training rooms anyway)
If Teemo is in the game he'll be such a salt mine. People's mental game fall apart against him in League.
That's fair, and we definitely don't have much yet. Just the vibe I get from it personally.
How does SFV look to you? I imagine this will look very similar once it's polished for release.
they should go a different route instead of relying on a tutorial mode
naw. It's good because of how indept it is but it sucks in that it still feels like homework and it applied in a boring way.
You find guilty gears tutorial boring? That's interesting. How do you think they should approach it?
I truly feel there's a ton of room for applying it in a story mode that has never been explored in fighting games. I'm sure someone more versed in pedagogy can go into detail more clearly, but having the menu based tutorial mode where you move from topic to topic after a completion is not an effective way to learn new concept. (if you've never played fighting games before)
I think they should do both as some are not interested in playing story modes but still want to learn the specific intricacies of the game. That story mode idea is definitely the next step that someone needs to do.
Aren't KI tutorials the standard anymore?
Probably. It was one of the most hype features of old SNK titles =P
"2019, 2D fighting with 3D models, doesn't look like GG/DBFZ, people are mostly on the ground -> It looks like SF"
Just cuz of the initial wow factor. The sprites got all fucked up with pixellation every time it happened.
Nowadays that's not an issue but I still prefer visual consistency.
Shit looks great to me. To potentially see some of the wild cast of LoL animated like this is amazing to me.
Give me insane celestial horror Shuma Gorath/Vel Koz please.
This looks how Fantasy Strike thinks it looks. :(
(It does look Street Fightery, but not like V)
I think they're championing it because League of Legends is a huge IP and the most played game in the world. A fighting game with pedigree and money behind it utilizing an IP that big is bound to make waves unless it somehow ends up being bad.

What's hilarious are comments like these. It's Riot, and they're making a fighting game. And now we've actually seen some of it. That alone is huge.
Fitting description.
Their artwork in the last year or two has been out of this world.
What's fascinating is that if people are looking for a fighting game with:
- major and popular IP
- developer with money backing
- one button specials
- heck, one button combos too
- even a seperate button to block
Why aren't people jumping on Granblue Fantasy Versus? that fulfills most of what people are clamouring for plus it's releasing early next year.
It'll certainly be interesting what Riot will bring aside from F2P model but the proof will be in gameplay as usual.

Perfectionism and a near-unlimited budget with no hard deadlines.
To be fair the clever dragon ball fanbase calls Fighterz a SF clone.
A bunch of people are, but it wouldn't impress me if ERA had more LoL players than Granblue players in the first place.
Oh, the Xenoverse crowd is on another level.
FWIW: breaking into granblue's lore without entering into a gameplay loop that's fairly unsatisfactory (at least it was for me) is really hard. At least there's an anime to draw people in, but I don't blame anyone not being excited about GBVS because it's "a spin off of that gacha game".
That being said, I am very excited for GBVS.
The obvious reason is Granblue Fantasy is not big in the West and isn't close to being the most played game worldwide. It's also a mobile game at heart.
People were interested in Rising Thunder because of the talent involved and how it played, and it died and evolved into this.
Another reason why people are interested is because the game is virtually guaranteed to have the best netcode/online experience.
It's huge for people who has some emotional investment in Riot games. I'll wait for mechanics and gameplay.
I'm not familiar with LoL characters due to personal lack of interest in MOBA, but always excited to see another entry in the 2D fighter genre. Hope it plays well!
Another facet in the "it's Riot" assumptions is that this game will have excellent online. That's extremely important. The discussion about netcode in fighting games has hit an inflection point, and with so many major fighting games having disappointing online, having an upcoming notable one which will likely have good netcode is a big deal to many.
GBVS' beta had good online. But overall, ASW has left people disappointed over and over again.
I've never played League of Legends in my life and I'm excited for this. My feed is full of fighting game fans who don't play LoL and are excited for this. Enthusiasts know that this will be a big deal with a company heavily invested in netcode, competition, community relations, and with a ton of money. Fighting game fans are tired of other FG companies being complacent in so many ways. Have you seen the discussions that Sajam has brought up recently regarding netcode or just fighting game devs somehow not learning from one another? Riot and Project L is the perfect thing to challenge this status quo, and that's what has people excited.
Naturally, what will matter the most here is if the game is actually good. People aren't just taking it for granted that it will be.
I mean, if it's purely gameplay related Granblue Fantasy Versus ticks most of the boxes that people are expecting from the fighting game made by "the developers that brought us Rising Thunder".
If it's due to lore/story, then I can't really relate, since I don't really play fighting games for that. I know nothing about LoL but when this does come out I will try it if it's decent (just like I know nothing about GBF except the potato girl).
Characters are a big part of fighting games and there have been many who have not been interested in the lineup thus far from that game.
To be honest we got a taste already from Rising Thunder. Practically the same team from that game is working on this one so it's not hard for use to decipher how the game will turn out. Also, many people are happy about the possibility of their favorite characters in fighting game form.
Oh sure, I mean if you're looking for a good 2d fighting game on the horizon, there's no reason to avoid GBVS or project L. But when it comes to prerelease hype, I'm not surprised things are quiet. People in the GranBlue threads are way more excited about the initial roster than anyone I've seen in the beta. I'm just like "Yes, that character looks alright".
Or just aren't familiar.
Granted, the only LOL character I know is Jinx and that's because of the cosplay scene. One of the things that GBVS and Project L are going to have to do is indear newcomers to their respective casts. Neither property has enough reach to just go "WE GOT JINX! GIVE US YOUR MONEY!" and expect a huge windfall
