It's only two buttons, Analog is irrelevant, you'll just use your tounge in the direction you're facing. A game having a move as L2 + Square for example isn't that complicated.

Analog is relevant because the way it's worded in the tutorial it implies that the move won't come out if the stick is on neutral, which is stupid.

We've known for over 25 years, since the first Art of Fighting, that mapping different actions for tapping/holding a button in an action game should be avoided because it's unintuitive and unresponsive. The game has to wait several frames to check if you're holding the button or not before the move begins to be executed. Mapping the first variant as L2 + Square and L2 + Triangle for the second one (no analog stick requirement) would've been a much better choice.

Newgrounds is literally what came to my mind when i saw the game.

Oh it wasn't? I loved it and had tons of fun with it, but I guess now that the king of opinions has spoken it must be a fact...

Anyway this looks like garbage. Not surprising coming from MS though.

Awesome game. I used to be able to beat it in half an hour once I got good at it. Incredible music for the Gameboy, too!

The irony here is that you played the tiresome "you didn't say 'in your opinion'" card and then failed to preface your own opinion with "in my opinion."  

That wasnt the problem. You assuming Battletoads is a bad game was...

It looks god awful. The art style is generic. Now, that's a somewhat minor concern, and could be forgiven, if it didn't look like the characters were walking in hip deep mud. It just looks like a chore to play.

The community in a nut shell..

CUPHEAD: "Cuphead looks gorgeous, cannot wait for a Switch and PS4 port. Game Looks stunning."

BATTLETOADS: "This game looks like Garbage, Game looks like trash, God awful!"

Mh, what could fans of a franchise expect from a new entry? To be faithful in art and style to the originals? 

Btw. The original games. There was more than one.
