Akatsuki BLITZKAMPF - PC Thread (1131sp1) - Its still playable!

This game is the shit! I love it!

Looks pretty good. I might have to jump in that shit. Yeah monster is a mess right now but Im not leaving the monster project. I really wanna see how it pans out!

Um one question though. Why wont it let me online? it keeps saying connection failure
MAJOR edit: Am i going to have to set my config each time i play? That shit is retarded

The game attempts to go in full screen mode and just resets my computer. How do I change it to window mode?

The idea looks good- it feels a little RB-ish, which I like. Needs more characters though.

What ever happened to Akatsuki Shisei Ichigo the original, which had a grand total of four characters? (completed)

Or Akatsuki Senki or Denki that had four characters, but you could play them two at a time Vs style? Or maybe it was Isuka style.

Is this the third iteration of a four year old franchise that has never gotten over four characters in its roster?

Oh, this is the third iteration?

And the second iteration had right around 7 charcters.

Yeah I’m using Marilyn as well. I saw the tig ol’ bitties + cute face and decided that I just had to use her.

She seems pretty good, jab rekkas safe (?) so you can do an interesting rushdown game with them. Simple combos. EX Rekka is an overhead. Good long range pokes (HUGE range on the sweep). Panty shot during EX Rekka. Qcb+Attack seems to have quite a large reflector window, plus it wall stuns which guarantees qcb+BC (scales heavily but oh well). Nice colours.

I like the idea of Fritz who has such a mastery of the sword that all his attacks (bar the weak ones) are like special moves (check his jump C, crazy!). Plus, you can attack straight away out of out fake dash which creates some interesting rushdown tactics. He also has stupidly long range.
Could someone explain to me the purpose of EX dash? Does it have crazy invincibility?
And his ABC super does insane damage. At least half bar. I guess it’s a good thing you can’t combo into it (not sure on that one). However if someone does something that leaves them open, GGPO kthxbyebye.

Akatsuki is cool. Cool looking moves. Nice corner juggles involving qcb+B. Large projectile. Can’t really do any corner traps with it tho (I was hoping to recreate ST Ryu, lol). Has a decent anti-air in s.C. Long range pokes (esp. far s.B), it seems theatfar s.B has more range than his sweep!

I like Elektro Soldats character design (walking animations kinda low on the frame count) but I’m really feeling the way he plays and I don’t like the fact that the attack which moves him forward is is fwd and C (I wouldn’t mind losing the overhead properties in place of it being bk+C). It’s good that you can juggle off of it. I love the sound that his flash kick makes. His ABC super is total asscheecks IMO. Hardly any range, doesn’t do a lot of damage for 3 levels.

So far I really like this game. I’m looking forward to the final version and seeing where this fighting game goes.

Demon Dash: First download microsoft applocale. The, open the config.exe with it. Then on the top row, click on the second tab in the first row and click on the option that looks like this ???

Or if you can’t be arsed with applocale, click on the 4th option in the list :slight_smile:

D/Ling this now. hope its good :wgrin:

It seems like EX moves are prone to damage scaling A LOT, while the ABC super barely scales at all. In the corner with Akatsuki you can do 6B, C, 6C, B, 214A, C, 214A, B, B, ABC for HELLA (9031) damage off an overhead :confused:

At the moment I’m using (combo into) 6C, 214A, C, 214A, B, B, 214C (4290dmg) as my no-meter corner combo with Akatsuki, is there anything else better? I tried doing a B after the 6C but it seems the increased gravity causes the last hit of the 214C to whiff. You can also end it with a 22C but that looks either unsafe or doesn’t give you much of an okizeme opportunity.

Not sure what you mean, everything saves for me.

Read the first post.

yeah, it’s fucking great. the super definitely isn’t offensive, BUT it’s a guaranteed free ticket out of the corner!

i think you can combo into it, but i doubt it matters too much. comes out fast, and it’s unblockable too.

I found some combo’s with fritz.

Corner:

J.B,5B,2B,2C 3285 Damage : Weird timing.

J.B,2B,2C 3048 Damage : Easy Timing

J.B,5A,5A,ABC 6377 Damage : weird timing, shitty combo that prorates the ultimate but looks sweet.

Anywhere

J.B,2B,2C 3146 Damage : Easy as hell, awesome damage.
He has more, off of J.B but they aren’t really worth mentioning.

From what I’ve noticed, you are going to be poking alot with Fritz and so far parry has been my best friend, without it he has a hard time in the corner without meter. Also parry-ing will help you build meter, so far my goal each round is to build meter and land the Unblockable Ultimate.

These combo’s are the only ones that I could Find so far.

All the exe does is reboot my computer… Any ideas why?

Did you play it in windowed mode?

What OS are you using? Also make sure you have the newest DirectX.

If those don’t work, maybe try reinstalling the game in another directory. Maybe rename the installation folder to English. Try a few different things. I mean restarting without warning i pretty serious, it almost sounds like a HDD error.

A couple things -

Be sure to set the delay to 3-5. So far 4 seems to work pretty well with everyone I’ve played.

You can air block everything except lows. But it depletes guard bar by a lot. Like if you block a deep jab AA move or Fritz’s 4B, it takes about 1/3 off your bar. ElektroSoldat seems to be the only one so far the a good AA low with cr.B. And of course everyone has air throws.

hmmm, game wont connect to server. I’ve set the game and microsoft direct play 8 as an exception in windows firewall, but it still wont connect…

Any ideas? I’ll keep trying random ports in the meantime

There aren’t any servers it’s all IP Based.

With Akatsuki, if you do the following juggle: f+C, jump B xx qcb+A, land and then hit a deep c.B, s.B, qcb+A the training dummy won’t tech it. So does that mean the opponent can’t tech it as well?

Another interesting thing: If you set the training dummy on ‘reflector’, if you try to throw it, it’ll ABC super through it!

Is it just me, or does Marilyn Sue’s no4 colour make her look like Leona from KOF?

Fritz is mad fun in this.

I like how he’s so different from the others. Much like a SamSho character.

If you can win with Fritz, pat yourself on the back…
