Meh I wouldn’t really say so. While fighting games and anime games are pretty synonymous on roblox, I feel like there’s a difference between simulator fighting games and RPG fighting games, of which AO is the latter.
While AO’s easily confusable as an anime game I wouldn’t say the same about simulator
idk man AO is kinda just like any other grindy simulator game where you level up and get stronger, it’s just, much more “glazzlefied” and made to look much more appealing and fun than the average low poly simulator.
You can break down almost anything as “well if you do this general thing then it’s basically this thing in which you also do that general thing” do draw a connection, but genres exist to create semi-distinct categories
this thread is about to turn into a soulless 500 reply argument.
now about the question itself, nothing will really change in the scheme of things. most people will just go back to playing their generic anime fighting games, and the others will probably not know of AO.
