Battle Fantasia

Anyone else excited for this game. It’s a new game by Arc Systems, the people behind Guilty Gear. I love Guilty Gear and this game looks great too. It’s 2.5d, 3d characters but still 2d. Its going to be in 720p too. It just came out in March in arcades so who knows when we’ll get to play it. It’s hard to find good info about this game though.

I think a thread for this has been made before…

Ive yet to see this game in arcades, and i go to some of the most up-to-date arcades in Japan. I dont think its out yet…

I heard this game is currently in beta testing.

The system looks promising… looks like a new non-chain heavy fighting game, with some sort of parry mechanic included that is different from 3s (you can whiff parries). Also, the character design looks nice, love the look of the chainsaw-blade weilding dude.

This game looks sweet for a 2D fighter using 3d models. This is really good thing too since there getting to test there new 3d engine before they release the next guilty gear which is allegedly to be 3D.

its not out yet

but it will be this month sometime
planet zero is getting the game so ill prolly try it whenever. i might use olivia or face

I call cat-maid.

I did a search and didn’t see anything.

I read on wikipedia that it came out in march, but I guess they are wrong again. Can’t wait to here how it is when its really out.

Yeah, that game looks tight!

The current release date is ‘this month’, I don’t think there is a more specific date than that right now. So probably in the next week or so it will start popping up in arcades.

I am so pumped for this game!!!

-a.

im using ashley because hes the gayest character ever

although at least 50% of the character designs are actually cool this is new to me.

Nohoho has a brief translation on his page of game systems:

The game looks like it will play kind of more like a Capcom fighter at this point. There’s parries (with wiff animations though thankfully), throw breaks, tech rolling, canceling specials to supers, and generally the chain system seems less beginner friendly than GG/HnK style games. Most character don’t have an airdash but it seems Coyori (the catgirl maid) does.

yeah its basically 3s+ with a completely different cast/style

im not sure i want to even know what the fuck is going on the last panel

Which is also kind of what Akatsuki BK is so I guess it’s a good time to be a fan of 3S style games that are not actually 3S.

I posted some more BattleFantasia stuff:

At least in the beta, she was very strong. Like Chipp fighting against Remy and Hugo strong.

wakawakawaka

Hmm, there’s a lot of chances that I end up using Cedric.

hehe the good ole Guile clone

thanks a bunch dude!

the gamefaqs link is really useful too glad you compiled a movelist before the game is fully released :]]

hopefully tga gets this shit so i can play it during the summer

edit: wow a lot of these characters are ridiculously common archtypes, and all of them look like classic sf characters in terms of gameplay.

i have a question though:

does gachi match/drive nullify projectiles?

Olivia and Ashley (no homo) interest me quite alot. This game looks awesome :3

whiff parries like… lastblade?
