OPINION: City of the Wolves Should Win Best Fighting Game by Default at The Game Awards
When I first saw the list of nominees for Best Fighting Game at The Game Awards 2025, I felt a strange unease. At first, I thought that perhaps a well-deserving game was missing from the list, but none...

Given that nominees are selected and submitted by video game media outlets, is it not odd that 2XKO - a game in an Early Access release state which hasn't been reviewed by anyone - is nominated in the Best Fighting Game category? 🤔

VF has four universal dashes: 66/44/33/11. Most can cancel into each other and into Evades (sidesteps). You can attack while dashing, but can only guard during 66 and 33. This tends to bring the players into close range over time. (1/2)

Backdash can avoid pokes like P/6P/2P even from disadvantage, but you will be Counter Hit if they hit you. Plus, every character has a move (often 3K) that enables a huge combo if it hits a backdash. Use wisely, moving can be dangerous! (2/2)

Like Jacky should be like, "how the hell are you still alive, old man?" and Shun Di is like, "why wouldn't I be?"
And that's it.
And that's it.
Shun Di should be replaced in Virtua Fighter 6 with a younger practitioner of his style, but Shun Di should still be alive. Old AF but very much active and alive. And the game should make no attempt to explain how. Just roll with it.
