Power Rangers: Battle For the Grid |OT| Make My Roster GROW!
- Thread starter Mandos
- Start date
- OT
There is a move list that person doesn't know wtf they are talking about.
All characters have the same inputs for their specials which is either back + special button, neutral + special, forward + special button and jump + special. Then there are light, heavy, medium standing and crouching attacks. Each of those link into small auto combos and have their own properties like launching or doing a hard knock down. All of these commands can be found when pressing pause and literally clicking on the move list option.
What little impressions I'm finding is the actual gameplay is solid!...
... But it's lacking promised features that weren't done in time for launch that are coming later and many basic things are likely coming post-launch, like the advertised Story Mode, lobbies, and unlockables.
Ultimately, it's a valuable judgement. Are 9 characters and good gameplay that is fun but limited worth it? Or is it better to wait for additional characters, modes, and support down the line?
I'm keeping my eyes on this one and I, personally, am waiting (I NEED to save my money at this point in time, even $20...), so I hope it can really grow into something awesome, because the impressions are the foundation is solid as hell, but it needs to be built upon.
My bad lol. Just saw on reddit. Went ahead and took the plunge since I'm having car maintenance done tomorrow and need something to do
I want to pre-order the PC version.
I know it's coming out later in the summer, unlike the console versions, but does anyone know if it's supposed to include the digital art book as well?
I could have sworn it was previously listed, but now I only see it listed for the Xbox One version.

people who preordered on Switch here said they also got the artbook link in their email.
aww, you used the wrong Chun-Li. Should've used this one:Ok. Time to hook up the ol' Chunstick and dive into this mess!
Following up, I can confirm V2 Green does indeed use the Sword of Darkness.It would be nice if the Green v2 had the sword of darkness instead of the dragon dagger EDIT: It was pointed out to me that the promo art shows that this is likely the case.
No Ug-Li allowed.aww, you used the wrong Chun-Li. Should've used this one:
I have seen people confuse lobbies for a room that can't hold more than two people at a time for rooms that can hold four or more. Yet these rooms could still have private matches. So I just had to confirm that there was no confusion to be had here.
Well... fuck.
That's hot a/f plus i can see your reflection in the knob.Ok. Time to hook up the ol' Chunstick and dive into this mess!
Glorious!
Yeah rooms would be great. I gotta be able to play with FG ERA.
That's not his reflection and that's not a knob. It's a comms globe and that's a live feed from his physical body being trapped in an interdimensional cell.
I got it with my switch code also.
Unfortunately it's rather light on the actual production art. But what is there is fun to see.
So..uh how are there already level 60 guys on day one??
edit: Nm You level up pretty fuckin' quick off of a win.

Being a sucker for nostalgia and huge Power Rangers fan, I couldn't help but give this a go (go, Power Rangers).
Initially, my expectations were pretty low, but I have to say after putting some time into it that this game has a REALLY solid foundation. Here's hoping that the devs manage to release the additional features, characters, and stages, in a timely manner, and then focus on graphical/UI improvements.

That's not a move list, it's just general controls for the game. It says nothing about many of the unique attacks many characters have such as command normals.
I like the game a lot. It doesn't have many characters or modes featured yet but its $20 and the credits are literally over in just a few seconds. Incredibly small team so its a game as a service scenario where it launches small and grows over time. This studio has done this with Power Rangers in the past and are VERY dedicated to growing the player's experience over time and very good at it.
Is it interesting to play game wise? VERY. Its easy to play. You have auto combos off of either Light Medium or heavy. Just enough so that you have a hit confirm so if you were struggling and got mashy or were just a casual who was up against the wall you could get a combo off a stray hit without feeling like you got a single hit after ages of struggling but didn't turn it into anything. Auto combos do NOT replace creative stuff though. Not only that but since you have some command normals by hitting back and Heavy on many folks and since EX versions of specials have new properties and often can be canceled into you can turn small stuff into MASSIVE damage with very very very little execution. Like seriously...execution is free. Not hard at all. Specials are just one button and either forward, backward or no direction. Want an EX version? Add one more button to that. Ta da.
So your inputs are simple and easy to get creative with? Is it interesting because its easy to hit the ground running? Yes but thats not the main draw. The assists and the tags in this game are very well done. You can call a partner to perform an attack whenever you want with a cooldown period afterwards. Thing is you can call one or BOTH of your partners at once plus by double tapping the assist button you can actively swap to that character. This means you can say call an assist right as you go for a teleport behind someone with Lord Drakkon and they gotta guess after blocking this left right setup (if they can even do that) whether or not you will continue your pressure as Drakkon or if you were swapping to your assist. Its very fast and very good. Plus you heal REALLY quickly when you tag out so you can do a lot of fast swapping of characters and save a near dead character and quite soon have them very healthy again. This is like a great mix of tag style combos and assist stuff. Plus if you lose a character you get one time access for a period of time to a Zord to use as an assist to replace them and those things are insanely huge in the size of their attacks and utility.
The setups, combos, and action are just super easy and really awesome! Its very interesting to play because of the systems being so well done, so easy to use and the movesets all being great!
Its easy to hit the ground running and you can turn it into probably the fastest most insanely intense stuff you want quite easily. Think of it like how in smash bros no matter how easy it is to play and no matter what level player you are you can get some just incredibly fast and intense stuff. Its like that but in traditional fighting game terms.
Its a great fighting game but being a fan definitely draws you in. There is next to no dialogue at all right now and arcade ladder is just maybe a quote from Goldar and from Drakkon near the end and thats it. Story mode isn't out yet nor anything else they had in store. If you want solid fighting the online is pretty great. I've never had a bad match. Feels pretty good.
This game will definitely grow with time. Right now its $20 and its just pure fighting with 9 characters that all feel different and good. If you're a fan of Power Rangers its like a dream playing something that feels this good every match with that license.
I dont know who is on what platform, but I bought it on switch because the PS4 version wont have any crossplay. what I do know is I get matches pretty damn quick. Probably quicker than any other FG I own. The only games that were as quick or quicker in my library is launch window MVC:I and KI

hmm..now that you mention it. does look like Chun-Li is watching him, in a somewhat sultry manner, but regardless. He's definitely trapped in something
Fun stream is up right now of a Ranger fan getting good casuals in.

Didn't know Magna Defender's sword grab move covered behind him as well. Man that is so dirty vs Red Ranger and Drakkon stuff lol. Dashing through? NOPE! Grabbed.
BTW easy 80% with Magna Defender is simple MM, down+H, S, SUPER. You gotta hit down heavy as soon as the second M comes out to get that launcher to connect but from that you can land shotgun and the second shotgun is out it can be super canceled. It looks like it shouldn't connect but its not strict at all. It makes me think Magna Defender's gun super might OTG or something because they hit the ground from shotgun right as the super cancel comes out.
Mad damage. Enjoy.

I somewhat promised pictures of a setup dedicated to Power Rangers when I got home but I'm tired from visiting with my super sick mother-in-law (not that she's tiring - just the whole "watch family die of cancer" thing is exhausting) so I'll share some pics of my poorly organized basically Power Rangers dedicated room.
It's not a great way to display all my merch but I've just been so busy. In the second to last pic are literally four stacks of the Legacy figures. I gotta get them displayed eventually to go with the zords. Send help - I clearly have a problem.

Just played a bit on switch and this game is really solid!! Definitely feels worth $20. Just wish there was some Blue on the roster.

Yooo sick collection! Jealous of your dragon dagger and Zeo Gold Staff! Sorry about that family stuff, man :/ sounds rough
The heck you talking bout? I block all the time? Is there a bug that causes it somehow?

It sounds like unlockables missed launch, but either way we'll get a blue sooner or later. Koda is super likely
Incorrect, Story didn't make launch but there are multiple story modes coming later in a free update(and possibly unlockable characters/skins connected to story modes)
However every season pass comes with additional story mode(s) For The new characters. Additional undetailed modes have also been promised
Thanks! That sounds super promising. The game + season pass isn't incredibly expensive but I'll probably get the base game when story mode is out.
GREEN RANGER INFINITE!

anyone run into a bug where ranger slayer's arrows are invisible??
or is that a move property I just dont know about.
or is that a move property I just dont know about.
THIS IS NOT OK!!!!
Not surprised something like this was discovered day one with only 9 characters.
Was somewhat interested in this but the more I see I feel like I want to wait till the game just has more content and irons out some issues.
Played arcade mode with Magna Defender. He's a beast. I still suck at fighters but had less trouble than I imagined. I'll pop in and play as patches drop.

Considering the developers background the more people who get it the more likely we'll get free bonuses and support, but time will tell
