- Does the game use rollback netcode? We built the game using rollback netcode from the beginning; We know how important it is and some of us are die-hard fighting game fans, so it wasn’t even a question.
- I am a fighting game enthusiast. Will this game have all the bells and whistles? Yes. Checkmate Showdown is made by a team of expert FGC players. Expect mix-ups, the traditional triad of attack, defense and throw, specials, cancels, combo breakers, guard break, etc.
- I’m a newcomer to fighting games, but I love chess. Will I be able to continue playing? Yeah! We designed Checkmate Showdown with an “easy to learn, hard to master” philosophy. Button mashers will be able to look good on the screen, while professionals will find all the nuances they could want.
- Do experienced chess or fighting game players have an advantage? While traditional chess strategies or massive fighting game skills will definitely shine in the competitive rankings, one has no advantage over the other. An expert chess player can quickly reach his king, but will have to use different strategies to truly master the game. Fighting game professionals could also be caught off guard by chess-savvy opponents who attack them with an unexpected move, forcing them to use an already damaged piece in a tough fight.
