RATE THE SUPER: DNF Duel 

It's remarkable how much impact is lost when you don't get the big "KAY OHH" freeze at the end of the supers.

I want Trouble Shooter's "Have a Good Time" to be the start of every round. "Round 1! Have a good time!"

"Only Juri fans are gonna end up playing her" ...And I took that personally.

Hey fun fact, it hasn't been a week since this game came out and someone added goku from dbfz into this game

Grappler really hit him with the Hidden Lotus.

I think Ranger has the best. If you feel it's missing that "oomph", then I think you get it if you kill with it. The one final bullet into the freeze screen hits so hard.

I feel like a large amount of the impact is lost because you don't see HP bars going down during the attacks. It's not really the same as an instant-kill attack where you know it's going to end the match; you want to see how much each hit does. At least the developers did a good job staying loyal to the source material.

I think part of the reason Swiftmaster's super stands out is that most characters super takes place in the same rocky terrain and cloudy skies, while Swiftmaster's super is a lot brighter, taking place mostly in a tornado and then the clear skies.

"Only Juri fans will end up playing her." That stings Max. Juri will finally be top tier in SF6. You'll see... You'll see....

2:32 This one made the DMC fan in me go wild

Ranger's is definitely my favourite. It totally satisfies the fantasy of a dual-pistol user for me. It's quick, flashy and acrobatic. Great little moment at the start with him peering out from beneath the brim of his hat. Zips towards the opponent, zooms around them, then finishes with an awesome spinning flip into the final shot. The supers overall are pretty decent but not amazing. I can only hope this is the start of a good fighting game series that they'll expand on. They certainly have plenty of characters they could add.

“It’s your general LuBu dynasty warriors super,it’s a big swing” 😂😂👍🏽

My favorite is Dragon Knight's. I love the close up shot of her face you get right before she swings, her battle cry during the swing, and the way the sword slices the dragon's tornado attack in half.

I think part of the reason why these supers seem generally unspectacular is the sfx. They often don’t sound as damaging as they appear, with some exceptions

I have to admit, these supers are kind of of a bit basic but the developers did some good job on making the supers to be what it does like in the original game. Although, I wonder if there will be neo awakening as special skins in Dnf Duel? If so, there supers would be lot cooler alright.

Lost Warrior really did have the most lackluster super of them all. Dude's basic kit is more stylish than his super, what the heck?

I think Swift Master is the best simply because it's not set in the same featureless grey rocky plateau. Would have loved to see these supers but set on the actual stages.

"This characters so sick man, i wanna learn how to play them" - Max. Legit me to every single character

this game really needs some bass boost on the hit sounds NGL

These pop so much more when they're KOs, especially the Inquisitor.

I had to come back to Ranger at 2:37 once Max had been through them all, and I really feel like he's got the best super in the game. It takes his quick, blinding speed and gunplay making it impossible for the opponent to track where he is. Then once they're totally off guard the moment has built up to him being totally still, and just him smugly hanging on to deliver the kill shot. - Not only that, but the impact of that hit carries over back into the gameplay transition way better than any of the others. It's not a mind-blowing super that makes you want to stand up in awe, but there's something about the delivery that _feels_ super satisfying that matches the tone of the character.

2:18 Sir, that's a damn Rider Kick. Shares heavy similarities with Zero One

Bezerkers is underrated, probably because it was the first one you rated, but it's actually pretty awesome looking.

9:24 I can never unsee this now xD

i felt like every character that has a blade and can swing fast he easly get the best features in the game , ghostblade is my favorite character in DNF of all time (specialy his cinematic trailer )

8:43 You said it's not incredible but its funny because "Incredible" is the name of the super lol

I know this isn't related to the vid but i wish max could do a rate the super for pokken tournament, i know its a pretty unconventional fighting game due to its constant switch between 2d-3d but i feel the game deserves to be featured someday.

Troubleshooter is an 8? Max gives himself a good amount of credit I'd say

the fact that trouble shooter looks like max is awesome to me

Ah I was waiting for this I'm glad the supers are "simple" because we will be watching them A LOT OF TIMES, multiple times during a match/round even. Anything long would get very boring

Although it could be purely opinions, I feel like your ratings have kind of helped me to be non-biased when judging someone's super or ultimate special move. Thanks for that, and thank you for another amazing Rate The Super!!!

totally agree with lost warrior here, he literally has the power to stop time on you, why did they not utalize that?! like a good ol' Zasalamel ult from SC VI

The one I think is best (the one that sold me most on it being a giant, in-character, finishing blow) was Ranger's and I'd give his a 9/10 with several other 9s and 8s among the roster.

Honestly, from the developers of FighterZ, I'd expect cooler supers tbh Surely most of the supers are just references in FZ but they could have taken notes on what made these moments cool

Bro, I think 80% of these supers end in a pillar of flame/light etc. They definitely needed to work on that. So many supers feel the same.

Question: does lost warrior have legs or is he just a floating torso?

My favourite is very clearly Strikers. It does everything perfectly. Action right after the trigger hit with a combo attack followed by a fantastic windup with huge cinematic payoff and enough of a delay until return to gameplay to take in what just happened. Pretty much every other super falls short in one of these steps. Ofcourse there is personal preference to consider but for me and my taste this is one of the best supers I have ever seen in any fighting game

surprised he gave the giant bear doll super a 7/10. i think its like a 4/10 because its feels obvious, and the build up of the move ends abruptly.

5:43 "Let's make her so bad that only juri fans will play her." Me a juri main/fan 😎 looks like I just found a new main.

It feels like these supers kind of miss a lot of the impact from how they are so sped up

I'd have to say my top 3 are Striker, Kunoichi and either Dragon Knight or Enchantress. But I think that all the supers are awesome and each super really suits its respective character, they did extremely well imo.

imo, compared to arc system's previous title GBVS, these supers lack the "impact" (with the exception of a few, like the inquisitor's super) created from the amazing camera works. I don't feel any of them is bad but missing that little something to make them truly memorable. Not to mention, if all characters only have 1 super, they don't feel quite as special compared to landing, and ending a match with an SSBA and getting the special victory pose in GBVS. I really wanna like them more but I feel most of them fall short just a bit from being amazing.

I think my only problem with the supers is that the KO screen comes before the full impact of the sound effect. If you're going to make the game freeze for a KO, at least let the full super rock. Otherwise, do it like DBFZ where the action keeps going past the KO screen. Either way works, but they chose the one with the least impact.

What I liked about Ghostblade's super is the sound profile.

5:48 nice Pokémon Gigantimax impression :D

Personally, I think what was missing in these supers is emphasizing what was happening to the opponent during the super. Like in GGS, some supers showed off reactions from the players being punished, and it was great. Helped to sell the impact that much more. Here, some of the supers feel like you barely see the target character at all.

Arc System watching this and takin notes, theyre gonna redo most of the supers for a future patch

These supers don’t really show much character aside from the funny guy talks shit and blows you up, and maybe the knight lady who burns you like a witch. I think back to Xrd’s supers and instant kills. Baiken’s is cool in such a subdued way, Dizzy’s shows off her kind nature, Faust is a funny man. Even Street Fighter 4 and 5, whose supers can be a bit lackluster, have their characters show off who they are. Juri saying something horny before snapping your neck and G’s Uncle Sam point to camera before blasting your ass, those are iconic. I get nothing from watching character’s I’ve never seen before do a cool move.

Idk if it’s the game or Max edited it out, but there being no music that matches the super really kills the vibe for most of these, they’d be so sick with a rockin BGM but there’s dainty little flutes in the back

woah wtf did us juri fans do to get lumped into playing gothic lolita, i feel attacked

"I really wanna like this more, but..." this actually describes my entire experience with this game.

I have never seen a game that goes so well with "All flash, no substance" as this one

"These supers are gonna get old fast" DLC supers are coming, I'm calling it.

Berserker, Ghost Blade, and Dragon have my faves by _far_ , but really, every single one is a cinematic accomplishment. Except Lost Warrior's, but just his

... i've said it before back when he rated the supers in CVS2... and i'll say it again. ... these ratings would probably be very different if he saw them the way they SHOULD be seen; as FINISHERS. ... he should have really set the health for the second player to something low so that each Awakening Special killed the enemy, leaving that "finishing touch" effect.

Rate the Super with the Capcom Fighting Collection video would be cool. I know Vampire Savior and Super Gem Fighter have great ones.

Exactly what Max said at the outro. Have fun with these because eventually they will get old. These ultimates sell copies and definitely had me buy the game especially after trying both betas too

2:06 I'm reminded of the MVC2 ship stage 2:30 Nine foot tall dude with legs for days is like Vermillion and Nagisa from Toshinden 3.

from what we've seen so far..... this is great

This Anime looks almost like a fighting game.

At this point we're desensitized to how awesome all of them are honestly

Man Arc system works and there fighting games… Amazingly well done animated supers. ❤️👍💫

- Max sees next character's super Max: This has to be the best super in the game

For me here are my rankings: Berserker: 9/10 Vanguard: 6/10 Striker: 7.5 Grappler: 8/10 Hitman: 7/10 Ranger: 7/10 Launcher: 8/10 Inquisitor: 6.5/10 Crusader: 7/10 Swift Master: 8.5/10 Enchantress: 5/10 Kunoichi: 8/10 Ghost Blade: 10/10 Dragon Knight: 10/10 Troubleshooter: 6.5/10 Lost Warrior: 5/10

They seem to be in line with arcsys supers dbfz had a lot of one hit supers to flashy cinematics. Looks fun to watch, I want to play but don’t know how long I could grind out these fighters. Hopefully a review of the online mode comes soon

Jesus's super feels like Metatron's Fires of Sinai in SMT V

4:28 ... It's "Celestial Star" from Valkyrie Profile. Holy shit

2:50 "Featuring Dante from the Devi May Cry series!"

Lost Warrior is so based that his legs turned into a beard.

Ranger camera work pumps it up to 10/10 for me.

I feel a possible issue is only having cinematic supers than also having more normal ones

5:02 A Swift 10 Out Of 10 From The Swift Master!

Max basically gave them one point higher on everything than I did.

I never noticed the cube affect behind the character before they do a super till now. Cube skills from the MMO. :D

"7 out of 10, a decent starter" The chaarcter you compared it to you gave a 10/10 lol

I feel like a lot of these feel really basic, like I was really expecting them to do awakening skills, like grappler punches you in the ground so hard that it spawns an active volcano under you, grabs the boulder you were on then punches you skywards splitting the boulder and erupts the volcano. Or Ranger grabbing and boomaranging 6-8 guns around you grabbing each one and throws them again. launcher grabbing a mech then shoots you and a city to blitz. And Crusader summoning the fucking rapture so bright that it eluminates half the planet. In summary Give me neos you cowards

From what we've seen so far I think what we've seen so far is what we've seen so far.

Grappler's super is literally Rock Lee's hidden lotus. 10/10

The lu bu reference brought me back to childhood for brief moment

I dont know. to me, the average of all the supers is like 6-8 out of 10, so they are really good for a fighting game initial roster, but at least to me, they didnt feel like "OMG that so cool/10" maybe is the lack of personalized music like in a insta-kill of Xrd2 , the sound effect choice or not having subtitles for when they are talking you down to have some context . is a pretty weird feeling to have, even though they all are pretty good.

Bruh ranger’s super is literally one of joon gi han’s supers from yakuza 7

Oh how I wish Trouble Shooter said “LET’S GO!”

Grappler hitting you with the Makoto SA2 from Street Fighter 3

1:20 I now want you to rate all the Supers in a Warriors game. Be it Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, or crossovers like Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors, any game.

Was just searching for this.

As a fan of the OG game, the fact that Launcher has F.Mechanic's outfit drives me actually insane.

max is rating these supers way higher than I expected. not many of these would go above a 7 for me

Karate guy reminds me so much of Sega-san Shiro the OG Dream Cast mascot. LOLZ

Max idk what you're thinking with Troubleshooter's super, that's an 11/10 free, have a good time indeed

He should definitely rate the ninja storm ultimates that would be crazy

there is an offness to these supers, but props is still really deserved since they have lots of great camera motion and cinematics, just missing that sound and impact that you need for a good super

it should be three jesuses, you max, are one of them

I love that he calls it a "general Lu Bu Dynasty Warriors super"

My favorite is troubleshooter. He feels like the only character in a game full classes.

9:28 "It's no use"

The time to rate the Maxiverse moves has come.

7:23 This is Thancred!

The tall lanky guy has the best super hands down. He even starts it with engrish "O. K. "

I wish this game was actual a beat 'em up like the original Dungeon Fighter Online. Imagine an actual, not pay-to-win, beat 'em up game animated by ArcSystems? Specially since the genre is on the Renaissance Era with Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT Shredder's Revenge.

I like how these supers are sorta DFO accurate.
