Support NeoGAF

[Major Gripex]

Started watching this with my husband and while it's the first anime I've watched in a long time, I'm astonished at how much I love it. Just came in here to say that and to subscribe to discuss latter as I don't want to get spoiled because I'm only caught up to the dub.

 

[lazyproblems]

tbt, a lot of things would make a lot more sense if Tengen became a despair from it /shrugs

It would've, but sadly Kodaka wanted to stick in a hamfisted example of hope being bad at the last minute. This is despite just about every DR story after the first already having presented that idea in far more effective and chilling ways (0 & 2 especially shat all over HPA). But I guess we needed to make the DR2 cast as blameless as possible while getting as many redemption points as they could at the end so there ya go.

Alternatively they could've spent more time developing the ideas presented at the end and fodder characters that they introduced in this anime, as well as done a better job foreshadowing and putting thought into his grand scheme. It might've been more interesting if it didn't feel so rushed and ill thought out.

There needs to be a Danganronpa fighting game.

DR1 - Makoto, Kyoko, Junko, Monokuma, Sakura, Mukuro, Toko/Genocider, Mondo
DR2 - Monomi, Nagito, Chiaki, Peko, Nidai, Akane, Gundham, Ultimate Imposter who would just be a random character's moveset when you picked him
DR0 - Madarai
DR3 - Juzo, Munakata, Seiko
DRAE - Komaru

Izuru would be the broken boss character you can't play as who chains together everyones moves in busted ways. Everyone else can be a support character.

From DR3 you could also add Miayabot, Tengan, Great Gozu and if you really felt like acknowledging his existence Izayoi. Monaca could also work as a puppet fighter with her robots or just Miaya.

It would be dope if the game wasn't too strictly balanced and everyone's talent had a gameplay effect. Like Nagito always lands crits because he's lucky, Junko lets herself get hit to increase her despair meter, Gundham has the most over the top bullshit attacks, Makoto has random tripping for both him and the opponent. It would be so stupid and fun.

Better to have a balanced fighting game that also conveys the characters' talents in unique ways than an unbalanced one that goes the Jojo's CC2 route that people quickly drop and critically admonish.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Nagito's gimmick would be that he could cause debuffs to occur to him that cause other stats to be buffed.

 

[ChrisD]

Nagito's gimmick would be that he could cause debuffs to occur to him that cause other stats to be buffed.

Complete with voice lines about how unlucky he is if, say, his movement speed drops. But then, you hit the enemy and deal extra damage, to which he laughs at, along with a line about how his luck is still here after all.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Makoto has random tripping for both him and the opponent. It would be so stupid and fun.

I see you Sakurai. If you want to single handedly make people abandon the game competitively then you can do that, sure.

 

[R_thanatos]

How did Kirigiri know the drug did what it does and yet Seiko never mentioned it at all? Wouldn't she want everyone to take it?

She saw seiko in the first room and examined her body afterwards ? She took a bet because the other option wasn't possible for her. Makoto luck then happenned

 

[The Silver]

Naegi should play similar to Jean/Phoenix in mvc3. Dude is useless in his normal form but when he gets down to like one hit left he transforms into ultimate hope and starts spamming giant hope bullets all over the screen, slows down time with infinite focus, and has exploding hangman's gambit super armor.


Eh well this actually fits Hinata more since he literally has a super saiyan form.

 

[Eumi]

Makoto would definitely be a zoning character. Keep them away and spam truth bullets.

The real question is how would Hajime differ? He's kinda just a worse Makoto until he goes Super Sayan Hope.

Btw, it's pretty much confirmed now that that's Hajime accessing his Izuru talents, right? I mean I kind of like that a little less but his eyes do turn red when he does it.

 

[Acosta]

Jesus christ...

I'll take the fanservice but this has tainted Danganronpa as a whole. Completely unnecessary.

I can't play as Izayoi or Great Gozu?

You need to pay extra for them. They're DLC.

 

[The Bankslammer]

pretty fucked up how it's 2016 and there's still no DR fighting game

i don't own a copy of it so i dunno the context, but apparently there's a piece of concept art in the DR:AE artbook showing genocider and peko clashing swords that seems to be a concept for some kind of 3D head to head action game. the subtitle says "danganronpa series characters battle to see who's strongest". then there's also some DR1 art that shows, like, a mock fighting game. so at the very least it definitely seems like an idea they're interested in.

You're going to get Danganronpa Warriors from Koei Tecmo and you will like it!

Your roster is missing a crucial character

 

[dakkumauji]

being izuru, defeating cannon fodder and hearing tsumaranai sounds like a great game

honestly i think almost every character has something workable for them to be in a fighting game

and this doesn't even count that we have a bunch of new folks in NDRV3 too

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Wasn't that the game that got cancelled in 1-5?

Final boss

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Dont think you could make him more different from Naegi, and Izuru would be the final boss

 

[A Link to the Past]

I think you could have every student from 1, 2, and 3 and have a varied roster.

The only characters I don't think should be their own characters are Peko and Fuyuhiko. Fuyuhiko doesn't really fight after all.

DR has existed for what, four years? Persona has existed for 12 before it finally got a fighting game. We need to wait eight more years before we can get a fighting game

Persona existed for 16 years before it got a fighting game.

Thatd be an enormous roster tho. I'm thinking more ArcSys works where the cap is like 24 characters.

For fun - DLC characters

Monoca, Monokuma Maid, Ibuki, Hopebot

 

[NEO0MJ]

Nahyuta, tell me what to do after watching the final ( ._.)

Let it go, and move on.

OK.

Persona existed for 16 years before it got a fighting game.

Wasn't Persona 4 released in 2008?

Fuyuhiko could just be a variation on how Togami will probably fight, send out nicely dressed guys to attack for him. Probably a little less smack foes with fistfuls of cash.

I mean I guess if you want to cut down on number of characters but keep everyone playable do pairs like Peko and Fuyuhiko, Mondo and Ishimaru, Mahiru with Ibuki or Hiyoko, Sonia and Gundham, etc, etc

Fuyuhiko and Peko should play like Carl and Relius Clover from BlazBlue, that way you don't have to do pairs.

 

[Gradon]

I love how this turned into a fighting game discussion. I also hate it because I want it.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I want Destroy Monokuma to be in the fighting game, that way we can have someone who flies

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

 

[Eumi]

Give me a Mechamaru who plays like Q or give me death.

 

[UberTag]

This is too damned funny. See... we're getting good things out of DR3 after all. It's just going to come from the fans instead of Kodaka.

 

[Sky Interloper]

I love that Sakakura usurped Chisa's place as the heroine after the reveal.

 

[PK Gaming]

Dont think you could make him more different from Naegi, and Izuru would be the final boss

Makoto focuses on being the Ultimate Hope and some luck related moves
Hajime has the sword duel and logic dive mechanics, as well as his super saiyan form

As for Izuru being the final boss...

 

[Hours Left]

Not a fan of this type of joke.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Personally, I view it as a deconstruction of hero/heroine. Heroine is usually treated as the second-tier character to the hero - like, do we so often call Ripley the heroine of Alien? So in this case, it makes fun of the fact that Naegi is trying to categorize on that logic, when in fact Kirigiri is more significant and more powerful than he is (at the time, anyway).

 

[Thoraxes]

Which would you have preferred

Kyoko drinking the antagonist and living

Or Kyoko drinking the reactivator and shitting herself and dying

I just kinda thought, she didn't really have any idea what the medicine did

I'm choosing to believe Asahina won the Naegi-bowl.

 

[Permanently A]

At the end of the day DR is about the characters more than anything, and DR3 gave us some good ones. Overall I think I'll remember DR3 in a positive light and hope for the best as we move on to V3.

 

[UberTag]

Who will ultimately win the Hinata-bowl?
Will he get Soda to build a Chiaki-bot for him or do any of the other girls stand a chance?

 

[Sky Interloper]

I didn't do that with bad intention. It's just that since that episode, I have seen a lot of fanart of those two with the typical heroine part played by Sakakura, with all the stereotypes that carries.

Sorry if I offended you.

It's alright, I wasn't offended.

I think it's fine to show Juzo and Kyosuke in cutesy type situations, in fact I'd encourage it. But in a romantic relationship between two men, there's no "female" role. It's a lame misnomer that generally only serves to derogate the couple.

"Enraged Japanese people gave DR3 arcs a set of despair nicknames.

Zirai-hen(landmine arc) or Mikan-hen(incomplete arc) for Mirai-hen
Sitsubou-hen(disappointment arc) for Zetsubou-hen
Kyomou-hen(nihil arc) for Kibou-hen"

 

[Hours Left]

So apparently Spike Chunsoft is implying to fans online that Juzo's status, post DR3, is ambiguous.

Edit: The citation was removed.

So I'm just gonna go with he lives, and Kyosuke makes amends with him, and that they live happily ever after, because Ryota is horrible, and an actually interesting new character needs to survive that mess.

God I hope he's dead. Dude kinda redeemed himself at the end but that's with the fact that he dies included. If he survives then he becomes an asshole who let the world be destroyed because of his own issues and also a dude who totally could have ended the killing game but decided not to so he could kill more people.

We need a DR4 to retroactively make DR3 worse. Keep the train rolling.

He's not the only one to blame for that, (there are many who share the responsibility) and Ryota is even worse in that regard. He knew exactly what Junko was doing, and there was nothing holding him back from exposing her, and yet he did absolutely nothing. Plus his idea of a "hope video" is ridiculous.

Juzo was the only new character besides Seiko (and Ruruka, right at the end) that had an actual character arc.

This pleases me greatly.

Juzo never actually died, he somehow managed to just pass out. They recovered him at the end and patched him the fuck up and probably got him one of those robohands Nagito somehow has. He then talks shit out with Munakata who is able to get over his serial killer ex and they live happily ever after. DR3 will hopefully never factor into anything ever again so this might as well be canon and 800% true.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I was relatively okay that Seiko died, but now that I know that the only new characters to survive are the most main ones, it really disappoints me. It just makes the new cast come off as yet another side attraction to Makoto and his classmates.

Yeah, Mitarai is easily the most responsible. But he was also the villain so I kind of don't feel as irritated by him, if that makes sense. Whereas with Juzo I'd have thought after maybe the third or forth child genocide the dude might have thought "you know what, maybe potentially losing my best friend is an alright risk to take if it means I get to stop standing in piles of baby corpses'.

I agree with Seiko and Ruruka though. It's a shame they had nothing to do with anything, since there would probably be a pretty good dynamic there if they had the chance to flesh it out more.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

I mean, all of them ended up not mattering at all. Seiko kinda did because of her revival deux ex machina and Juzo got everyone's bracelets off, but that's it.

Speaking of, the game was supposed to end if they made it past a sleep phase with no deaths, right? Why were everyone's bracelets intact after Makoto survived? Shouldn't that have ended everything right there instead of Juzo shutting it down? And why would Kyoko, the Ultimate Detective, not want to check out the "fake" exit more thoroughly since it ended up being the real exit after all?
