Air Dash Online is a 2.5D party brawler of sorts, bringing inspiration from Super Smash. Bros, Guilty Gear and Dragonball Z, just to name a few. Most of the development team are long time Smash Bros. fans and competitive players, so naturally they have learned the flaws of the series over time.

Now is their chance to finally make a bigger and better competitive fighter in the vein of Smash Bros., something that the fighting game community can take seriously and enjoy as a fresh new experience.

One of the main things you’ll notice are their vibrant character designs, crazy attention to movement and attacks, but also their focus on mechanics.

You can check out their kickstarter pitch below:

Air Dash Online has a goal of $355,555, and they will probably be revealing stretch goals as they approach their initial funding, as this game is meant to be on home consoles.

For now, it will be coming to PC, Mac and Linux, and is scheduled to get an offline Alpha in January, an online Beta in June and a full launch in November – all scheduled for next year.
