The War Of Words Hits Home As SUPERFIGHT Officially Launches On Steam
After months of wildly successful beta tests and hilarious live streams starring a laundry list of fan-favorite Twitch personalities, Pipeworks Studio and 505 Games are proud to announce that SUPERFIGHT is now available on Steam!
Based on the hit card game of ludicrous arguments created by Darin Ross, SUPERFIGHT offers word warriors and master debaters the chance to match wits with opponents from all over the world. Using cutting-edge streaming technology, SUPERFIGHT offers real-time voice and video chat for up to four players, while allowing games to be broadcast via Twitch with no additional programs or devices.
More than just entertaining stream fodder, SUPERFIGHT thrives on audience participation. While watching the stream, viewers can determine a winner by voting for the best, most hilarious, most creative argument. Along with the satisfaction of supporting the finest orators on the internet, each vote earns experience points which are automatically applied to a voter’s SUPERFIGHT account, whether they own the game or not. Planning to buy SUPERFIGHT down the road? Get in there and vote, and you’ll automatically unlock a host of cards the moment you create your account.
At launch, each copy of SUPERFIGHT will include the 400-card Core Deck, alongside the Purple and Blue Decks, which add an additional 100 locations and 100 scenarios to the myriad combinations present in the base game. Those looking to expand SUPERFIGHT even further, will see five additional DLC decks available for purchase at launch, including the geek culture-themed Orange Deck, the risque Red Deck, the Digital Deck – which is exclusive to the Steam version of SUPERFIGHT -- the Twitch-centric Mindcrack Deck, and The Walking Dead Deck, which should be immediately familiar to fans of Robert Kirkman’s hit comic book series and its wildly successful TV adaptation.
SUPERFIGHT officially debuts on July 21 at a price of $9.99, but we’re celebrating the launch by slashing 10 percent off the purchase price for one week. Purchase SUPERFIGHT by July 27, and the game’s only $8.99. For more information on SUPERFIGHT, visit the game’s official website at superfightlive.com and add SUPERFIGHT to your Steam Wishlist.

Closed Beta Patch Rundown!
Hello Superfighters,
Welcome to the second round of closed beta! There are a number of updates we've made since the last round three weeks ago. We watched a TON of games and identified updates to improve your Superfighting experience. Now you can better focus on arguing. Get to it (after you read this)!
Most of our changes were focused on improving communication in game. We wanted to make things clearer and give you more control of how you talk to other players. You'll see these changes mostly in the video feeds.
Secondly, we improved how the game tells you when certain things are happening (or why). You'll see more messaging as well as updated tool tips.
Without further ado, here's what we changed:
Getting games started: If you can't find a game lobby, we help you create one... getting that party started.
Clearer communication: We added an effect that indicates when a player is talking. This in particular will help when a player without a webcam is speaking.
Mute buttons: We added Mute buttons to each video feed. This allows you to mute yourself and other players.
Hide video: the "Hide own webcam" button was meant to help a broadcaster control what's seen on their stream. We realized it needed to hide video from other players as well - it does now. Please, you'll still need pants.
Twitch chat: a number of improvements in how we communicate game information.
Vote prompts were spammy. We reduced the amount of vote reminders and tuned it to adjust against the size of a broadcaster's audience.
We now call out the Vote Lord in chat.
Timing: there were a number of times things felt slow so we reduced animation time in a few places and reworked the flow to speed things up.
Revealing cards: we made this faster and reworked the reveal to happen during the starting countdown.
Vote time: we reduced the time for players to vote.
Get set: Settings are now accessible during gameplay.
Video feeds: We made fixes that address players being unable to see each other in game.
Twitch bot: our bot disconnects are detected more accurately.
Tool tips: updates and edits were made to more clearly describe functionality of buttons as well as phases of gameplay.
Lag indicator: If Superfight detects issues with a connection, it will now indicate it.
Who wins?!: We've clarified why players win in special circumstances.
That's it! There are other small changes and tweaks that we've done throughout the SUPERFIGHT, but this covers the major ones. The team has been hard at work on fixes, updates, and improvements to the game. We can't wait for you to see it all.
Have an awesome beta!

SUPERFIGHT Launches On July 21; Closed Beta Testing Starts Tomorrow
After streaming the digital version of SUPERFIGHT alongside our favorite Twitch personalities – archival footage can be found here, but the language is occasionally NSFW for anyone but game developers and longshoremen – we’re finally ready to open it up to the general public!
We plan to host two closed beta tests in June, first from June 2 to June 6 and then again from June 23 to June 27. Using the player feedback generated by these tests, we’ll add a final coat of polish to SUPERFIGHT before it makes its official Steam debut on July 21.
Earning a spot in the SUPERFIGHT beta is simple. Just sign up for the community site, then keep an eye out for your beta key. We’re also including a special bonus for beta testers: Everyone who helps us test SUPERFIGHT will receive an exclusive DLC deck of SUPERFIGHT cards at launch.
While you wait for the beta test to start, be sure to tune in to our SUPERFIGHT streams every Wednesday at 2PM PDT. It’s a good chance to see how the game works, and to watch our developers and frequent special guests make fools of themselves for your entertainment.
