Ultimate is the dark souls of fighting games

[ASAP_Smash]

Has anyone else noticed that ultimate follows the same flow chart as dark souls 3 duels? It didn’t click with me until I went back to dark souls 3 for some pvp, but I quickly realized why Ultimate felt so natural.

Play with footsies and pokes until you force a roll/block, and then keep chasing/pressuring until they lose too much stamina to defend against a strong attack. Conversely, parry in a disadvantage state to punish pressure with a riposte. Literally dark souls 3 pvp. All it needs is back-stabs.

Ultimate is the dark souls of fighting games, lmao.

I have never played a Dark Souls game, but your description of the fight is truly accurate.

I know it’s an anime fighter with a cult following.

Yep, if you watch a dark souls 3 arena duel, you’ll see a lot of the same thing. Getting a frame advantage and trying to catch rolls until they succesfully get away or parry.

If there’s one game that’s the Dark Souls of fighting games, it’s that one.
