Akatsuki Ausf.Achse - POVERTSUKI BROKEKAMPF

Lol you were just looking for an excuse to run a loli with a hat, I bet. :razzy:

So my take on the wk1 footage…It’s fucking tragic. The TRF dudes are just getting started and Ko-hatsu pplz never knew how to play ABK to begin with =/ . Everyone is running trash bnbs, strats, etc. and they really seem as if they have no idea as to whats going on. Although it’s only wk1, I still expected to a bit more solid play as the game isnt really ‘new’ to japan. Oh well, whatever - I’m sure in about 3mths or less Japan will be quite beast remembers wk1 HNK and AH :shake: and hopefully the ‘old school’ PC pros step out of their homes to show cats whats really good.

Best wk1 footage goes to these guys http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2510726.
Solid spacing, had a nice pace to the fight and they knew what to do when they got the down. Also, random p2 crossups for kanae? Hmmm gotta look into that.

So far Im really feeling Pefecti and she’s not looking nearly as cheap as thought she was when loketests first popped up. She seems like mix between myc and mura: utilizing solid zoning and appears to have much potential with corner lockdown using varied projectiles and pokes. I intend to use her aggressively.

random stuff i noticed w/ perfecti:

  • JC seems to be instant overhead. Coupled w/ tri-ball and ex tri-ball im sure she can set up some devastating oki and still manage to slip in combo follow ups after opening up.

  • (ex) chain grab does chip?! Reflector>B chain seems to be a somewhat effective combo from midscrn. Low in damage but I bet theres some sneaky way to slip in a bit more damage (other than 6c[?] - what japan is using) and setup tri-ball oki before the chain releases. theory fighterrrrrrrrr

  • jumping dive attack looks good for pressure/fakes and possibly for setting up tri-ball crossup shenanigans for oki :devil:

  • other than tri-ball taking forever to detonate (looks REALLY easy to slip past w/o getting hit), it looks like pretty damn solid even in the most absurd instances. One of the matches showed tri-ball hitting TWICE. Once for the initial launch then again as it returns. Maybe some dashes mixed in ala Myc can create even more havoc.

  • does pefecti even have any lows? I doubt her 2a hits low as NO ONE in the game has a low hitting 2a. If she has zero lows then the jC ‘mixup’ i mentioned would become useless lol.

  • saw a nice anti-air normal a couple of times where she angles the spear up and twirls it once. TRF players weren’t using it enough though =( . In loketest vids i saw that she could cancel off this normal.

  • jC vs airborne opponent instantly downs them. Possible tri-ball oki attempt upon landing?? I know i would have tried for it.

  • Perfecti looks like Fate Testarossa…w/o a nazi cap. And the main char from that series (nanoha something) has a staff that looks an awful lot like Perfecti’s own staff. :wonder:

Meh, whatever. So hype for blitz right now. New win poses and animations are SICK!! Must…play…NOW

@ nekich:
Thanks for the random interview translations. That was an interesting read. Blitz Heil! to you, sir.

Perfecti’s attacks and such are pretty much taken from Nanoha (1:27; warning, loli bullshit), although the character looks more like Fate.

dammit Bell, thanks to you I actually like that loli bitch Testarossa :mad:.

Hot clip you linked btw. I fapped furiously whenever Fate popped up on screen :blush:.

Ko-Hatsu footage in question, btw

Some more videos I found:

Wow Emil, nice find! This seems to be a complete set to the kanae/fritz match I linked in my last post (niconico). Whoever these players are they’re experienced/solid and I hope to see more from their community in the future.

…Hmmmm now that I think about it…Doesn’t daruism rep D-Ken.net? I believe they’ve been playing since the earliest PC versions. Whatever, I could be wrong…

Anyway those were some tight vids. I just wished the kanae player tried for her counter special (214X - preferably 214B to catch those 2B’s/5A’s) at least once per match. Has way more active frames than a (random) reflect attempt and depending on scrn positioning you can rack up some nice damage.

@ Rithli
Hey, If you’re reading this: I did some testing on that** kanae corner crossup** after 236>22 and it seems to be exclusive to arcade only :looney::wow:. Guess thats more shit for me to worry about now.

Fritz’s ABC isn’t unblockable now ? Why D: ?

HAHAHA! Fritz’s level 3 super got replaced with LEAVES! XD

At least his dash teleport looks a million times cooler.

Niice, even Kubo has picked up this game:

And an Adler match:

lol kubo got schooled. It’s obvious that he doesnt know whats going on but I hope he will soon be able to turn Perfecti into the rushdown beast that I envision her to become.

and perfecti laughing while taking damage is so damn funny…and cute :blush:

I think there might be some wacky Perfecti combos involving her ball super and the following wallbounce. But this is just a theory.

Man I’m fiending to beast with Anonym, but I’m so going to play Perfecti too, she looks like too much fun.

:lovin:

Damn…that Adler was fucking terrible. Makes me want to cry.

TRF tourney footage featuring DF2 (top Melty player? I haven’t heard of him, but I don’t follow Melty closely)

Hopefully someday I’ll be able to apply it in person. Hohoho.
But for now, vids vids vids.

Rithli, I had an interesting conversation with a Japanese player, regarding blitz. You might be interested in the details.

Kubo plays Perfecti too? Wow, def my hero.

And Zar, i think it’s the fact that she looks so similar to Fate that makes me consider her. Fate > Beret

Speaking of lookalikes. The Japs over on nico refer to Kanae as Jill Valentine. :o

I still like calling her Two Kettle Officer, myself (gogo google translate).

tru dat

Perfecti is dope.

Game41 has match vids up, but the players are not terribly good from the ones I’ve watched.
