Fighting Games Weekly | June 17-23 | Nintendoes what Capcan't

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";64902481]I never really get a chance to show it because I only really play Marvel against people, but before it came out I was a puppet character specialist. I was beating people in BB casuals with Carl at EVO one time even though I'd never played the game before then and it felt pretty good.

I stick with Marvel because assists are baby's first puppet character and it has Wesker and Magneto, but it's not the same.[/QUOTE]

What's a puppet character? Like Zappa?

What... BBCP UI has the same amount as P4A how the heck are you getting confused o.O

There is
On Top
Life bar
Burst icon
Barrier bar

On Bottom
(unique character bar depending on the character not all characters have this)
Special meter.


That's it. BBCS has a guard primers which was removed from CP, even then that's not a hard thing to keep track of as it's near your barrier bar

"That's it." :lol
 
Holy shit Xbox One DRM removed!

KI can now be a legit fighter!

This is a great thing because Sony can't be complacent anymore. Finally.... we got ourselves a real match.
 
Carl Clover is another "awesome moveset, stupid looking character" scenario. I mean, look at those fucking pants:

PS4 is still $100 cheaper and has almost twice the power of the Xbone. This is like Dark Phoenix against Haggar unless you want Microsoft exclusives.
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";64903846]Any character that controls two or more characters separately at the same time. Like Carl Clover.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, those characters are neat. One of the better things about Arc games. And yeah, Carl is fugly.

You should check out Relius, he's another bad ass puppet character. I've taking a liking to him recently
Click to expand...
I talked about my issues with Relius a few pages ago. I don't like that the puppet is on a timer or that it leaves when he gets hit and has to be resummoned. That said, when BlazBlue comes out with an edition that adds some characters that are worth playing (i.e. Nine), I will definitely mess around with him.

I've started learning 3 new fighting games in the last 2 months. There's a lot out there to experience; games have to convince me that they're worth my time. I have no shortage of options. I also don't think that wanting a fun + cool looking character is asking too much. That should be the bare minimum for my consideration.
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";64906251]Blaz Blue actually has a ton of characters I like, but the game is so damn ugly I can't bring myself to play it.[/QUOTE]

Just put some yellow saran wrap over your tv :P
 
Fuck Hazama and fuck puppet characters. Those guys are far and away the most annoying characters to deal with if you actually play the game.

First thing I do when I see a Carl is whale on his stupid puppet until she can't move. Then it's time to open a can of Ninja whoopass.

Oh you don't find Mu annoying? :P

Pretty big news in regards to KI :O
It can actually be taken seriously now. :P

It's still a 2d DoA so I doubt it will stay relevant for long once people start to realize that.

I don't see an issue with this at all. Rather a understandable way to balance that mechanic

I'm not saying it's poor game design, just that it's not something I want to deal with. I could deal with the doll going away on hit if there weren't a meter. Or, if the meter were for EX moves of hers or something like that. I don't want to have to only have access to my doll "Sometimes".

You ever play DoA?

I don't know if I would consider 90% of a match as sometimes.

Like I said... if I take the game seriously I'll be fine.

Good luck! :P
 
i'm still not buying the xbox one. the drm they were trying to shove down your throat is what they really want and you can definitely expect them to try it again. i'll get the ps4 when the new mgs game comes out.

That's fine but this logically the same as having access to move when you have X amount of super meter available. As long as the character doesn't completely suck without the puppet IE the character or the game is properly designed around them it is not a problem for me especially since you get so much advantage with the puppet. The puppet is also available for most of the match so idk

A combo breaking (counter in DoA) mechanic added in attempt to keep the game from being a game of nothing but super long (blazblue, skullgirls) too damaging (marvel) combos, without losing flashiness with short uninteresting looking combos (sf4).
Click to expand...
It wouldn't be so bad if combo breakers didn't do damage, but they do and unlike DoA there is no penalty for guessing a break wrong.
 
I don't like Relius because he just seems like a shittier version of a Jojo's character. Carl has a bit of his own thing going for him. I also like the girl that can use her stick like Donovan's sword in Vampire Hunter.
 
Happy BD enzo!

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";64906251]Blaz Blue actually has a ton of characters I like, but the game is so damn ugly I can't bring myself to play it.[/QUOTE]

I made the mistake of trying to learn the game using Carl back when I had some spare time. A shame cause I still kinda like the game.

Twice the power of Xbox One? Come on now son the power differential is not that high at all. The major difference between the two is the price and if MS makes a Kinect-less bundle it will be 400.

It's not that high, but it's still quite a bit stronger than it. There is no reason what so ever to get a xbone unless you want to play exclusives and no titanfall isn't an exclusive play it on pc -_-

Titan Fall is a timed exclusive if I'm not making shit up
 
Yeah now that the architecture is so similar I don't see any reason to get an xbone except for the true exclusives they still have like Forza or Halo. Unless developers are unbelievably lazy the PS4 port of a game will run better since as far as I know it's just the same system but with better RAM.

Just...don't get it for KI3. Atleast not until we know it's a legit fighter, but even then...

I'm not saying you can't like it. I'm saying I don't like it.

I said "almost". The difference is considerable, as said by every tech outlet since the specs were announced for both.
