To be fair Arms has no baggage attached to it and Nintendo is known for making accessible games.

Tekken on the other hand is considered pretty hardcore and hard.

Bro just mash buttons
Ive been lugging my lappy with me for the night shift and weve been playing tekken 7 and having a blast

1st party Nintendo games also have a stupid high attach rate since that's basically main reason you'd buy a Nintendo console.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I'm gonna be kinda a pessimist and say I don't expect large number inflation on new releases for a little while. Kinda getting the vibe FGC is changing like that.

oh come on. Numbers will be back to where evo 2016 was after MvC I comes out.

 

[shaowebb]

oh come on. Numbers will be back to where evo 2016 was after DBFZ comes out.

Fixed that for you.

this is actually not true for the market these numbers are from. Nintendo games bomb all the time in Japan, lol. new competitive IPs have, however, done extremely well for them lately. first Splatoon, now Arms.

Is the BYOC area gonna be open on Sunday this year

 

[Beckx]

yo Shaowebb, the new Tatsunoko Infiniti-force (Gatchaman/Tekkaman/Pollimar/Casshern) manga is getting localized.

Udon is doing the localization but i don't think they had any other involvement in making the original.

Sweet. Polymar awaits!
I hope someday he returns to fighting games.
Just use the Infini-T Force 3d models! This shit looks super hype. Imagine a fighting game using this shit! Tatsunoko is so fucking hype.

Expected Tekken numbers to be much much higher but it seems like even a console release didn't help its cause.

again, it was the only game to gain entry numbers year over year when everything else dropped ~30-50%. that alone is an impressive feat. in a generally down year for evo and bigger events, getting a numbers increase is great.

lots of people are overestimating what dbzf is gonna be

I'm already pegging it for a side game at EVO while MvCI is right before SFV Sunday night.

of course by then EVO may be held in the same venue as Moment #37

 

[notworksafe]

if anything dbz will just replace bb/gg and still be on 8am sunday

 

[FadedRevolution]

I would love if dbz would gain traction but I doubt it will.

DBZ fighter gets announced and suddenly everyone's cool with anime.

MvCI input latency is one frame less on XB, but it get some sleight frame drops during intense moments. Pick your lesser evil FGC!

Like SF and vs games, DB isn't anime.

[Beckx]

it's hard to take the outrage at 6f seriously

 

[Sayad]

DF does another test on release versions. It never hurt to know those stuff early, especially with companies like Capcom where it took them months post release to fix SFV frame drops on some stages even though people were complaining about them since the beta.

 

[Sayad]

I would love if dbz would gain traction but I doubt it will.

Wither it does get traction or not it will be pushed hard on the FGC by Bandai Namco for at least one year. The comparison to other ASW games in term of scene support is silly considering this is a BN game!

 

[Kadey]

So close so close.

Dragon Ball has never had that stigma attached.

NOPE.
Its a 3v3 game with anime guys.

even if it was the number one anime thing to like (its not one piece obv) at the end of the day

its still anime

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Wonder what the reception to DBFZ would have been like if Infinite had been MVC4 instead

 

[irfaanator]

first year in a while where Im out of town and not stream monstering it up evo weekend, but tbh I dont care that much

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Frankly I would've expected DBZ to play differently had MVCI not been such a departure from its predecessor. Hard to know how long the two games have been in development and how much of their direction had been solidified long ago, but I suspect that at least part of the reason why DBZ plays the way it does is because there's a niche to fill there.

But even then, in a world where MVCI doesn't exist and DBZ isn't a tag fighter, the look of that game alone would have still turned a lot of casual E3 heads.

Hehe, I've watched almost 40 episodes of DBZ in the last week. But I was cool with anime before.

 

[Line_HTX]

Is there a problem, y'all?

 

[dmcAxle]

This year at CEO was pretty weak compared to last year too for all games except Tekken which only gained 6 entrants despite console release.

I think Combobreaker and Frosty Fausting are still growing though?

anyone who's playing Capcom games and isn't cool with anime probably has a voyage of self-discovery ahead of them.

 

[Line_HTX]

The amount of hoops to jump through that people do with regards to what DBZ is is amazing.

 

[VariantX]

Lol, DBZ is anime but it's not "anime".

 

[Lostconfused]

anime teflon

Just to pick something up from that arms thread.

Gotcha Force was made by the original Gundam VS team in Capcom, then the leads left and formed Byking, which led Namco's Gundam EXVS team.

Asking for Gotcha Force from Capcom is like asking for a new Darkstalkers. The people to make it ain't there.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Lol, DBZ is anime but it's not "anime".

the shit that makes Logan Sama's brain melt

 

[Sayad]

Can we get an art style draft?! Need to settle this shit once and for all.

 

[notworksafe]

nah i'm happy with how it is now. i enjoy capcom fanboys having to say the line "it doesn't look great but it plays so well" and watching them choke on it.

Damn, going from Capcom to Namco must be like one of the best career moves in JP games industry.

It really isn't. Remember when people complained about stuff during SF5's betas and a lot of folks went "oh it's just a beta"

i thought i was over this and you had to post it

i don't ever want to think about the pc version of the game ever again

I still can't bind the keyboard keys I want without having to use an outside program =/

And now it's a year and a half later and people still don't know what the direction is for Season 2

Complete shit?

They clearly wanted more offensive style played and less defensive style

 

[lucebuce12]

They're adding a Canadian character, it can't be all bad. Right?

 

[Karsticles]

NOPE.

I want this in the DBZ OT:

"Its a 3v3 game with anime guys." -MiniBossBattle

Hehe, I've watched almost 40 episodes of DBZ in the last week. But I was cool with anime before.

Is your kid watching it with you? How does he/she like it, if so? I tried to get my son to watch a little DBZ and he didn't care about it. But then I played through the MvCi demo and he loved it and wanted more. He loves dinosaurs right now, so I imagine I'll be playing some Riptor when I get KI on Steam.

It really isn't. Remember when people complained about stuff during SF5's betas and a lot of folks went "oh it's just a beta"

Hey, I was one of those people complaining, so I get it. I just know that optimization is often one of the last things done with a game before it releases, so I'm skeptical that this is meaningful info right now.

And now it's a year and a half later and people still don't know what the direction is for Season 2

"Zoners? No thank you."
