OVerall its just a really and fun VS style fighting game and continues to get better. It's solid on all Platforms as well

If anyone wants to do tip/moveset breakdowns I'd be happy to threadmark them. I enjoy fighting games but I absolutely suck at them sadly. If some stuff pops up thats needed I'd be happy to make a FAQ.

I still hope they get weird (they won't) and go outside of the PR bounds by using someone in a Dairanger suit that isn't Tommy.

I played through the campaign on GamePass a while back and had fun. Glad to see this game getting constant support and love from the community.

I hope this leads to more quality Power Ranger games in general. With the comics and the new Netflix deal, it seems like a great time to push the franchise. Hell, I'd even settle for a Musou game

That’d be a super Sentai game tho. Challenge of being a western adaption of a Japanese series

Yeah I suppose the international differences could complicate things. But they just announced that Power Rangers is getting an expanded universe on Netflix, so they're definitely trying to grow the franchise. If the fighting game worked out, I'm sure they could make more games happen in the west.
 
Thanks for the awesome StarTopic, @Mandos ! I picked up the Super Edition during a sale, and have it waiting for me for Christmas!
I have the original physical release of the vanilla game, but going to give that one to a friend.

Phil, just wanted to say it's nice to see you here. I've been active/lurked in multiple Nintendo forums over the years and I always recognize your name. Makes this new site feel legit lol

Oh my goodness, thank you! I'm not understating things when I say your comment has made my day and warmed my heart. <3
Hoping my name is recognized for good reasons, though, as I could be a real jerk a decade ago on some places! I'd like to think I've since mellowed at least a little. lol :)

Oop! Forget I said anything then! Haha Just kidding, like I said, that was a looong time ago. :)

Ooh, and to be back on topic, I hope we see Ecliptor as a playable character! I've always loved the design, despite never watching the In Space.
That was after I jumped off the series. I voted Turbo and In Space! :D

I know Boom!Comics originals aren't going to be everybody's cup of tea (especially since we still got SO many picks from other seasons to pick from).

...But I don't care! I definitely still want the likes of Dayne and/or Yale to show up, if at all possible.

This is what I'm hoping as well.

Like once upon a time, Hasbro went IN when it came to Transformers games on consoles, and both Raven Studios and Platinumgames' offerings were some very good fun. Imagine if they had that same energy for both TFs and PRs alike on modern hardware?

Technically not an original but a cut that got fulfilled by it but I want Dark Ranger! He was robbed
 
Heads up, Season pass 1-3 and PR pack are all half off. The bundle and core game versions are as well. On switch at least, not sure on other platforms

Do you like the VS series? Imagine that but with the combos being easy to execute and the ability to assign advanced techniques like wavedashing to buttons.

I loved MVC2 when I played a ton of it in high school

but as an old man now I don't like complicated combo inputs

and I do love PR/tokusatsu
 
I'm not the biggest Power Rangers guy but I've heard good things about this game and the physical version of the Super Edition is currently just $20 on Amazon, so I picked it up on Switch. It arrived today and I've been messing around with it a little bit. The original Black Ranger was my favorite from the MMPR era so I'm disappointed that he's represented by a generic soldier minion, but the game is pretty fun!

They put advanced combos moves that would be the hadoken and shoryuken equivalents on a smash style single button plus direction. There are normal light medium and heavy attacks that combine with simple movements too. Zords are assists triggered by a 2 button press to activate the time period then normal face presses. It’s a game that lowers the execution window of the combos to where it focuses on timing them over making you work for them. Super easy to learn, no CQM here.

Yes especially if you like Toku. Make sure you have all the dlc characters too. Also arcade mode is basically mini stories for the post story added characters
