Demo's closer to satisfactory status, onto the harder part (for me anyway) scripting in the grappling system.
So characters will have 3-4 play styles to choose from, these work like isms from alpha.
Simple Mode which you'll see a preview of today, is a mode based closely to SoR2. Specials don't take from meter but life instead, the button configuration is limited to 3 buttons and all functions work like in SoR2, there are also no upgrades to any moves here. However, universal things like running, rolling, throw escapes (pending), Screen clearing moves and alternate combo enders will be present here. Think of this as a refined SoR2 style for players that don't usually have interest in using extra functions.
Original Mode is closer to SoR3/SoRR, 6 button config, upgraded blitz attacks, meter usage for specials and more functions. charge attack and attackboth will have new moves assigned, upgraded blitz attacks can be swapped between by pressing x twice allowing to you choose what blitz attack you want on the fly. Tailored for SoR veterans.
Refined Mode Is a new play style entirely. 6 button configuration, more upgrades for moves and combos are further expanded. Meter management is important here as there are new moves and features that use some meter. Critical attack expands combos further than just the ender this time around and is also used for the upgraded blitz attacks instead of replacing the standard blitz, grapple moves are expanded as well depending on the character.
- One of these new features is the defensive trait, this is an expansion of the X input buffer system giving you the ability to turn the fight around. For Axel pressing X button will give you a quick side step which can cancel into some other things such as a back dash by pressing back twice, a quick dash up and down the z axis with up x2 or down x2 or countering with a shoulder rush by press forward twice. There are other counter attacks for you to explore and find as well, keep in mind that these use a small amount of meter and shouldn't be abused.
one last mode being decided on
Classic Mode is another style being thought on, it'll play like SoR1 replacing special moves with the exclusive cop call move, outside of this it'll play like Simple Mode. A bit of a challenge style for anyone looking for it. This may be exclusive to classic version of characters, we'll see.
