I'm surprised they haven't added a beast morphers characters given its the new season.

I watched someone play on twitch this morning and it looks really solid. Def buying when I get home today. Hopefully its out on switch by then.
You would expect something from Beast Morphers but through all the Disney, neo-saban, and even now in the hasbro era they have been TERRIBLE with promotion. Episodes air sporadically, toys are often difficult to find, and there's very few ads of any kind.

I'll update the ot shortly, but here's the breakdown
Deluxe version(base + $20)
Season 1 pass
2 skins(Drakkon evo 2 and pink Kimberly)
Artbook*(Xbox exclusive preorder bonus)
Season 1 pass:
3 new characters
Jason dragon shield skin

So guess it depends on if you want those skins
Also Green ranger mk2 is indeed a free bonus till April 3
Pretty sure my email for the switch preorder this morning had art book links.

Heres hoping all the ranger sentry costumes get added as dlc later. Red Sentry and the hooded Pink Sentry designs from the comic are straight fire. Check em out.

Pink Sentry is hands down the best there.

Man, I want Dimitria as like a floaty, ghost like fighter. She only entered Zordon's tube as a way to help the rangers adjust to her replacing Zordon so it wouldn't be wrong to have her as a fighter. And since she originally spoke in only questions they could have her do things to like reverse controls or "confuse" players, etc.

Just downloaded my Switch copy and it said that if you buy the game before April 3rd you still get the V2 skin, probably as compensation for it not appearing in the eShop earlier (same thing happened with DBFZ)
Yeah saw that one, the guy didn't even do his research to find out both lobbies and Story mode didn't make launch and will be added at a later date.

Also this definitely seems like a passion project that got much bigger fan support than anticipated
Where did they say story mode would be available after launch?

There goes my hope of playing right now.

For what it's worth, my Switch code worked. I'm in the US.

They've been hyping story mode for a while with additional ones being promised as part of season pass characters, however I'd didn't make launch. It's also possible there's unlockable characters tied to it that also didn't make launch

Man, Kat Ranger is my JAM. What a fun character.

Also, Gia's damage seem kinda busted. Killed a guy in two combos.

Is blocking bugged for anyone else? People on the Discord server confirming there may be issues with it. I'm on the Switch version and literally just holding back against the CPU on Hard to test things out. Against Red Ranger Super, my Goldar keeps randomly getting hit by it? Tried regular blocking, low blocking, etc.

Switch performance is fine. I'm playing it undocked right now. I'm not a stickler for perfect framerate, but I've been playing competitive fighting games for about a decade and haven't noticed any glaring issues. I haven't played online though.

Does the Xbox support custom soundtracks? because I can totally imagine playing this with the fight songs of the Wasserman eras.

We Need a Hero is just begging to be played over these fights.

Just got out of my first online match, everything went pretty smooth. I had a second one that was pretty laggy, but it seemed GGPO like?

Also, haven't noticed any framedrops on the Switch. Playing docked.

I believe day one they established that the net code is an advanced version based off their mobile code. Also lobbies are coming

When I watched some gameplay it sounded like the music was generic action tracks, right? I didn't recognize anything (though most gameplay I've seen ahd people talking over it so I couldnt hear well).

If that's so then it feels almost illegal that this game managed to come out without wasserman fight tracks.

If they could manage it that seems like a relatively low effort way for them to make some extra money with a wasserman bgm pack.

just like the voice acting situation I imagine licensing anything more than the GGPR hook would be impossible. But if we ever get the chance to DLC those or like the Zeo theme song. Sign me up.

I'm also currently watching PR youtube videos and now I want to have Serpentera fight Wild Force Red and have the rematch it deserves.

Should I buy this videogame?
Depends what your expectations are and what you like. I wouldn't buy it for single player, but if you like VS games and go into it knowing that it's $20 game, I think it's a great purchase. This is the most fun I've had with a fighting game since like Marvel 3. All training mode though, so far.

Yeah, artbook was for every preorder. The only Xbox exclusive insentive was a second code for the game.

Liked what I played on Switch so far. Looks good, plays good. More character and arenas would be nice.

Finished arcade and got a title/banner.

I assumed it was due to legal reasons and not going through the trouble/cost to actually license them. But when you say the "voice acting situation," is there actually a known situation/issue in that area? I haven't heard anything. What's the deal there? Or do you mean just another case of not putting in the money/effort to allow it to happen?

If they sold the music as a DLC pack then maybe that would offset the costs for them to make it happen.

You guys are making me sad that I have 3 hours left before I can go home

I probably won't get to play this until tomorrow. Haven't even tried to redeem my email code yet. I'll be away from home until around 10pm tonight and then I'll likely go straight to bed.

I just mean the budget isn't there. This game is definitely low budget - I suspect they didn't expect nearly the attention they've received.

Even then: the phone game is apparently profitable but they still haven't added any voice acting. I would seriously doubt it ever happening.
