About Slap Battles:
I will preface that this I was looking at this for about a week before I bought it and was like man this game looks like trash. SOLELY because I don’t think the Steam trailer that plays does this game justice. After playing for a couple hours I straight up love this game. It’s All parts Silly AND Technical at the same time. A lot of Melee tech is in this game but much easier to pull off because of the buffer system but also just generally more fluid (feels like a healthy mix of Melee movement with Smash 4/Brawl Fluidity). Once you get into it and get some 1v1s going (if you’re the competitive type) you will not be disappointed! Probably the best “Smash clone.” The game plays pretty well, and somewhat tries to make an experience that’s like an easy to pick up Super Smash Bros. Melee. This game carries over a lot of the tech from Melee, such as “wavedashing” and “L canceling”, but it’s all very easy and comfortable to pull off. It’s a very fun game to pick up for a few minutes and play with friends. The real thing that shines about this game though, is the passion behind it. It doesn’t feel like Ludosity wanted a super complex and technical platform fighter with a large competitive scene, but instead, it feels like Ludosity just wanted a cute little game where they could watch the characters from all their games just punch each other for fun.
