Hey folks!

As we mentioned last time, Drifter Fight Night has gone through a lot of mechanical changes as we've been working it. One of the coolest is the introduction of 'special canceling'!

For people familiar with traditional fighting games this isn't a new concept. However, in the realm of platform fighters it's much more of a rarity. Special canceling, as it usually appears in games, allows you to cancel your light or normal attacks into heavy or special attacks when they connect with an opponent.  That's pretty much how it works here too. If you manage to hit an opponent with one of your light buttons, you can press a special of your choice and the light will cancel into the special immediately.

This gives you a lot of flexibility as a player. Performing incredibly stylish combos is much easier and you can be much more creative about how you want to pressure opponents, while also allowing for a lot of player expression at a higher level of play.

This is just one of the many changes we've made to Drifter Fight Night and we're excited to share more!
