So the person who wrote down all that priceless Anonym information was you, then. Well, in that case, I must say that you have earned my respect and gratitude. Thank you.

At this point, does anyone think it’s likely we’ll get a PC version of Ausf Asche? Feels like it’s been an awful long time.
No, I really don’t think so. But who knows, stranger things have happened. With all of the fighting games news recently I wouldn’t be surprised. Still not expecting it though. Anyway, even if it is released, there a whole lot of stuff to play now. I don’t think I can keep excited about Akatsuki, though I think its a great game.
Come on now zar, You have been down this road plenty of times and the result has been the same. I understand you stillw ant people to play this game but sheesh. Its been almost 2 years now and I dont even see you guys posting match videos anymore of your gameplay of this game. When people start playing this game again. I will be back, If that happens anyway…
Ill be more than happy to beat the shit out of you mag lol. You let me know whats good. Ill teach you the game when/if you decide to learn it
I had no idea you were interested/played this game. Thats cool to know.
What can I say: I tend to focus my hunger on the ‘wrong games’. Oh well, that’s what I get for not falling into place. As for Rithli and myself not putting up vids anymore…well, it’s just me and Rithli…playing Wei v Kanae matches…hour after hour after hour. I’d like for us to experience other areas of gameplay and new styles but we can only hold up a community by ourselves but for so long now, can we?
I already went through that with Sp00ky (chibi/zaelar too) and MB, which FINALLY took off (and is still considered minute in terms of size) thanks to patience and lots of luck, but I don’t think I’m willing to do that again. So yeah, your right when you say “sheesh” cus it’s about time I step aside lol.
…They won’t. Enjoy your nap.
NP. It was nothing but love. =(

It’s a joke name for doujin games that Superking made up awhile ago, inspired by a thread that was based on people complaining about how new fighting games are having doujin-styled game mechanics, and their opinions on why doujin games suck. The name embodies the stupidity of that thread IMO.
how do you play online ?

Finally bothered writing this page. Also cleaned up some vandalism (lol), added some more info and such. I need Zar to come back and fill out the Wei page for me, dammit.
Well, there you go O_o. Focus. And how long has this game been out before SF4 again?
ponders getting into it
Do it. It is the best game no one ever plays. I’m got a new computer and gotta get it again. Gonna try to spread it again.
We’re trying to revive the netplay scene on Mizuumi now that MKV is coming, because let’s face it, MKV is gonna suck. We’ll all find the same infinites in the first 20 minutes with the game, there’ll be no netplay, 4 of the characters won’t even be in the first release, everyone will get bored and go back to SF4 or BB.
Blitz on the other hand has SF-style gameplay with a looser combo system and PARRIES. (I know you love parries.) There’s also a netplay hack that makes the game far more playable than it was before online. I’ve heard that was one of the reasons the game died out. Other reasons included:
-
“It’s not deep enough.” Unless you’re playing someone who can match you in terms of reads and baits, yeah, it’s not gonna be fun. The game’s depth gets opened up only when both players are trying to get a bead on each other. High level Blitz matches are intense because it’s a battle of wits.
-
“It looks old and outdated.” How has this ever been a problem for the fighting game community? I mean seriously now, this is just double-talk for “I’m too lazy to come up with a real excuse”. Also: IT DOESN’T HAVE LOLIS. (I know you guys hate those.)
-
“It doesn’t play like anything new.” This is probably the most ridiculous argument I’ve heard, cause it’s both untrue and hypocritical. There’s free-motion air attacks but it doesn’t have airdashes (I know much SF players hate those). It’s got chain combos, but it’s not loose like Melty Blood is. There’s tech throwing but it’s not option selectable; you can’t tech crouching. There’s parries but it’s not free; you whiff parries and get punished hard for them. There’s lots of elements mixed in here and there and there’s really no game out there exactly like it. When has familiar gameplay ever been a problem anyways? It’s not like we haven’t played our main games for years, with those games being sequels to older games that played similarly.
If anything I think people should just admit that they’d rather play ST, 3S, or SF4 because they have larger communities and more players. At least then we can appreciate the honesty instead of having to watch a solid game get ignored. I feel bad for Rithli and Zar who worked harder than I did to try and get some traction and mostly got their efforts overlooked.
Sadly not, but there is a rumor there will be an arcade patch or brand new release for PC. I think another reason this game went overlooked is because PC games are a hassle to run at gatherings, so I would really prefer to see a PS2 ABK:AA myself. I don’t think that’s in the works though, considering that the game’s been out longer than MBAA and that game got a port announced recently.
Well, I’ve kinda had my eye on it for a while now but it’s only after browsing the wiki that my interest has piqued beyond ‘Huh, looks like Guilty Gear’. I’m downloading it now, but prolly won’t have a chance to give it a whirl til the weekend. This is finals week for me.
The comp’s gonna mainly be on mizuumi, right?
Well, the only comp is going to be on Mizuumi, the EC Blitz scene died down for a bit due to RL (Rithli’s Lazy). There’s a number of EC players though.
My Blitztank > whoever the hell you are.
Arcade Infinity (So.Cal) should be getting the arcade version soon
get hype
Yeah I want to stop by AI sometime to try it out, I honestly think SF4 and BB are going to kill that game though.
Also Chibi tell Zar to get off his ass and keep the torch lit
Is the netplay better yet since first release?
