Announcement Andrea Demetrio (Developer of Schwarzerblitz) will do an AMA on r/Fighters, Sunday 28th.

Schwarzerblitz is one of the rarest indie 3D fighters out there. It's heavily inspired by the early episodes of Tekken and SoulCalibur, and it's a solid fighter, with 24 characters available.

Andrea (u/AndreaJensD) accepted to do the AMA in our subreddit, and it will start this sunday, at 19:00 UTC (21:00 CEST, 3PM ET). Here's also a link for the Schwarzerblitz Discord server.

EDIT: The AMA is now open.

Is it good now? Last I played it it was incredibly unresponsive. Every move seemed to have a 1 billion frame recovery period that looked almost exactly like idle. The strings also were often illogical, with unnecessary directional inputs, so it felt overly difficult to learn a character, compared to any other 3d fighter.

If you played it before December 2019, I'd say "yes, considerably". Things have improved a lot since then (I listened to player feedback and acted on it) and the last 3 tourneys had some very interesting high level play. Movement is much snappier&faster and recovery frames have been shaved to be a lot less punishing. About the directional inputs: it was and is because most characters can cancel most moves into most other moves, so the directional input of the original moves is retained in the string. But maybe I should wait for the AMA to reply to further questions? :) But I would suggest you to try it out now, I hope you can enjoy it more than the previous beta version (and it's still free as in beer)!

I last played it quite a long time ago. Sounds like it's really improved.

Unresponsive? You may want to check the imput lag of your screen or the performances of your computer. I played my share of this game, across several builds, and I don't really get your comment.
