Games with Agility

[Tsuujou]

For the last 4 months, I've been working on a Mega Man Zero 3 speedrun. But I want something new with the same sort of swiftness and skillful player input. What are some fast paced games with super agile characters/vehicles and in-depth movement systems? I kind of want 3D games, but 2D would probably be my best bet. Not taking fighters though. 

Vaulting over stuff, wall running, airdashing, bunny hopping. All that stuffs rad.

I need Doom 4 and Mirrors Edge 2, I know that already.

Prototype has some nifty air-dash/vaulting mechanics. If you do things right you can glide all over the city. Or smash through traffic and pick up some 'snacks' and a cop-car shaped projectile to throw at a tank. It doesn't start out very speedy, though, and there are also some stealthy elements and such.

3D: Bayonetta 2, Metal Gear Revengenance (or whatever the hell it's spelt), and any older Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden. 

2D: The whole Megaman Zero series is great. They also have ZX and ZX advent. Umm... err... Shovel Knight?

I've beaten all of these. Including the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy. ;w;

Minus Shovel Knight. Not a fan.

Well, I would say look up older hack and slash games. Dark Souls (1-3) can be fast, depending on your build and you might not want to play online.

I've heard bad things about Mirrors Edge Catalyst already. I would look into some reviews. 

I forgot what about the Tenchu series or Shinobi?

[Tsuujou]

I heard it was still pretty good with some specific faults. It still has decent ratings. The biggest gripe I keep seeing is plot. But that's w/e to me.

Have you tried Cloudbuilt?

I have it. I couldn't recommend that game to people. It's not smooth at all which breaks my heart. 

[Imperial Impact]

I dunno, Strider's pretty good (it's just not as fast as MMZ is)

The newer 2014 Strider release is actually fairly nice and a good throwback to the older Genesis era of Strider (NES one sucked.)

It was free on psn. A very nice Megaman Zero/Metroid feel to it.

[Tsuujou]

Oh I have Strider. I got super far but never finished it. That game owned. Just wish it was more colorful with better lighting.

I should reinstall that and finish it.

You should just play Ninja Gaiden NES again.

I was gonna say I got it recently, but according to my Miiverse posts it's been a year since I've picked it up-- and you've probably played it already, but Aria of Sorrow. What a badass game.

Oh I've most definitely bodied all the adventure style Castlevanias. Don't you disrespect me like that again, Rob. I will burn the Fox plushie you're holding right now.

But speaking of Castlevania, I want to recommend you guys this game.

You play a lot of games, mister. Aria of Sorrow's actually the only Castlevania game I've ever played. I'd be interested in playing Dracula X though, 'cause of Bloodlines. I'm not the biggest fan of side scrolling games, but they always have such awesome music.

[Zytan]

Devil May Cry Hell and Hell mode? :V

[GarthTheWereWolf]

Play Ninja Gaiden Black for the xbox. Go run on walls doing ninja shit. <; bit of a steep learning curve, but once you have it down you'll feel like a badass. You pretty much HAVE to keep moving at all times or you will die in that game. Ninja Gaiden 2 is also good one albeit less balanced.

I do play a ton of games. Partially because I don't like taking my time with them. Where someone takes a week to finish a new Zelda, I'll have completed it 3 times. So I'm almost always on the lookout for a new game. y;

I've either completed or at least played most everything mentioned so far to varying results. Except Shinobi and Prototype. That also reminds me that I've never played Infamous. 

I noticed an Odin Sphere game was released. How fast paced is that? I like Vanillaware.

EDIT: If only we had more games like this. 

I wish there was a fast 3D on foot racing game with parkour, online, and platforming thats actually good. Best I can think of is Sonic LW 3DS

(That bombass music)

@XoPachi

Dishonered? It's been awhile since I have personally played it, but I do remember some very fun moments. I've looked back at the reviews which praise the ease and natural movement aswell as the deep worldbuilding and immersion.

Yeah, that was a day one purchase for me. I was hyped the instant they revealed it at E3. I can't wait for the sequel.
