Yet a certain sub-niche of fighting game players rejoiced when it was released, and I continue to share their enthusiasm, even as updates wipe away some of what made the game so interesting. Mysteriously glitchy and defying common notions of “good” or “bad” game design, Battle for the Grid is, as a teammate put it to me at my last tournament, “held together by duct tape.” Combos that loop indefinitely into themselves? Characters who can kill with a single touch? Bring ’em on. Capcom 2, an old favorite that becomes wild and broken in the hands of experts. The game is fun because it’s a mess, not in spite of it.īattle for the Grid is specifically a tribute to Marvel vs.

Expect a lot of repeating opponents through the story mode, especially Goldar and Black Mammoth Sentries. Billy and Zack only appear in 2 team shots of MMPR and do nothing the whole game and a few other rangers show up just to fight, get captured, and possessed to fight for the other side, even one of the 2017 movie rangers. Doggie Kruger, the Shadow Ranger plays a big role in the story but is never played in game because his character was DLC. Lauren, the Red Samurai ranger appears in 1 cutscene but never fights. Trini is around just to be the user of the new armor, Jen the Pink Ranger from Timeforce is introduced as important but her role pushed back pretty quickly, Udana from Mystic force and Kat the Cat Ranger from SPD also stick around as some of the main fighters.

Good Tommy place a role only in the beginning and end and other rangers have smaller roles. On the hero's side, the story is mainly told through the Mighty Morphin team's perspective, but pretty much just Zordon, Alpha, Jason, and Kimberly.
