Well, the gameplay looks fairly solid.

Hey guys, just a quick update.
the gameplay stream of PLAN Brawl was incredibly useful! a number of improvements have been implemented as a result:
Back-Dash now has its own animation, rather than re-using the parry escape animation. Also, the dash distance and speed has been fine-tuned.
The Glitch when a held character is being knocked down whilst vaulted over has been fixed. I didn't want the held character to have invincibility during this state, so will take the hit as if it was a hit stun instead of a knockdown (only while being vaulted over).
You can now turn around easily between attacks mid-combo (unless R trigger is held), and I've tightened the combo mechanics up (hit confirm wasn't 100%).
Mr.Din- I noticed that you were attempting the combo variations by pressing attack+direction at the same time. The way it works is you HOLD the direction while the move is transitioning to the next move in the combo, the thinking behind this is that you can change your mind what attack you want to do right up until the last frame of the current action, including neutral/no direction. to do the roundhouse combo for example: hold forward (and keep holding) throughout all 4 attack inputs, because the action buttons are buffered, your character won't unintentionally walk forward/up/down etc.
Many other great suggestions I haven't gotten to yet (like additional boss attacks n stuff).
Thanks again, later.

I hope for an original soundtrack to go with the original name.

Funny you should mention that! The demo build I'm working on may have tracks graciously allowed by Sm_Izumi above^
I also have original tracks that my brother and I composed. different in tone (recorded instruments) but I can't say I'm fixated on going with just the one style. whatever suits and sounds awesome. fun and aggressive is my music mantra . It would be a crime to disregard tracks of different genres based on them being of a different genre.

Will Axel be replaced with another character once you get far enough in progress?
How big a variety of enemies are you aiming for?
Will there be stages that connect?
Will there be alternate paths?

1. Axel has already been replaced by a character named 'Fenix'. Mr.Din did a stream of the updated character here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/112695884 2. I want to introduce 2/3 enemies per level. The enemy designs will get crazier as the levels progress, the first level just has goons to go with the street setting. 3. I have a basic story outline that transitions the stages, though I don't think I'll do cutscenes cos I'm a fan of pure gameplay, If I do, it will be told in-game somehow. 4. I really want to have alternate paths but that depends on how the development progresses.
The development is unorthodox, in that I only focus on 2/3 steps forward. the basic game is planned out but only serves as a loose guide. I'm a one person team so I have the luxury of letting the game inform me what what it wants- if that makes sense? In other words I play the game, think what does it need now? then I work on that!

The game looks already better than before from the stream video.
Branching paths are rarely entertaining to me this is just my guess, For exemple it's so much abused in SOR remake that it make no sens at all and get really boring, i'm not against one different path that lead to the same endgame for exemple.
