I cant wait for him to put up some of Face’s moves.
Yes, AFAIK.
Last Blade, Melty Blood, Akatsuki, like any of those games, yeah. Wiff time is pretty damn long too.
Good that new info is finally showing up.
Does anyone have any vids, the very first post with the video is gone.
This game looks stunning as far as Design goes, i just hope it plays good.
a few vids from the location test can be found there:

There were vids on youtube, but they have been removed.
ugh this kind of almost ruins the concept for me but i haven’t really seen the game so i’ll bear with it. i like projectiles that work.
Kind of interesting how the cast is perty much a bunch of mmo characters.
Wit that said, they better have a mage :xeye:
It looked like Watson was the Mage… But i could be wrong
There’s that little bunny dude, Watson.
Edit: meh, I was late =/
I haven’t seen anyone do it yet but Nohoho’s blog kind of suggested as such. Agreed though that that does sound a bit bad unless there’s something more to it.
Ya true, What else does that mode do other then stop projectiles?
Actually projectiles seemed to work too well, that’s probably why it’s in there. I saw some pretty stupid projectile traps on the youtube vids before they were taken down, but to be fair the players probably didn’t know much about the gachi thing. Either that or they did know and it’s no help. Who knows.
I saw that little bunny dude or whatever with a staff and somehow hope he was not the mage of the game.
Errmmm…
Hes got a bizzare keep away game from what I’ve seen.
On nohoho’s blog it says that Cedric’s Heat up turns his LoVs into Ex LoVs for a set period of time… nice!
Yeah it’s looks very funny. Little dude has the ability to place Beartraps on the floor… ouch
Well, there would have to be something to nulify projectiles, otherwise they’d be exempt from the rules and thus be spammed.
System seems very similar to 3s - I’ll probably use Ashley as well as Coyori when I eventually get to play it…maybe even Death Bringer, even though I don’t really like characters that move too slow.
[EDIT - Release: 26th April - a-cho gets it on the same day, gamechariot gets it the following day]
What’s wrong with projectile spamming? It just adds diversity to a game…
A-cho is pretty close to me. I’ll be going there next weekend then to play some Battle Fantasia. Most likely, i’ll use either Olivia or maid girl. If i like it, the post i make about it after that will be long, if i dont like it, it’ll be short.
Most likely, i’ll also be playing Arcana Heart a lot that day, so its not gonna be as complex as my Arcana one or my Big Bang Beat writeup, but itll be good, hopefully.
So i got to play this yesterday, tho i didnt get to play much.
There’s 5 buttons:
A C E
B D
A - LP
C - HP
B - LK
D - HK
E - Parry
Pretty straightforward. The movelist is very easy, too. 236, 214, 623, etc. Supers are 236236 generally, or that sort of thing.
Parry was just tapping E when an attack would hit you. Like 3S but with a button instead of tapping forward. In addition, if you tapped 6E and parried something, you would forward really fast and knock into your opponent sending them in the air for you to get a free air combo or juggle.
Throws are A+C. Throw breaks are A+C.
If you press A+B or B+D at the same time (i dont really know the conditions) then you can unleash your “overdrive”-esque move. Face allows him to shoot his gun from far away and combo with them. Marco calls a giant dragon to either breath fire at you or dash at you. Olivia calls a buncha like, butterflies or birds or something that hit the opponent. Interesting.
Anyways, i didnt get to play it much for three main reasons:
- There was only one machine
- There were a lot of people on the machine the ENTIRE time, even until we left
- Anytime anyone was playing it, it was pretty much one guy with a huge winstreak beating people who had no idea how to play the game.
The first guy used Face and got like, 3 winstreaks over 30. Second guy used the hellraiser guy or whatever, and the last guy used Marco, the little kid.
I used Olivia aka Flag Girl the entire time pretty much (tried cat waitress once, but didnt like her) She didnt have any projectiles. The thing about this game is that its links, and NOT chains. So my biggest combos were:
j.C 214214C (214214C is just a super that, if it hits the opponent, goes into some animation of her hitting the opponent and then its done)
2C 236C
Yeah needless to say, i didnt really figure out a lot cause like, i couldnt link my 2A into 5C or anything like that, so i couldnt really do any damage. The opponent, having huge winstreaks all knew stuff, so my effort was pretty much futile. Im sitting there trying to figure out moves and what does what, and before i know it, half my life is gone. Thinking about going back sometime in the next couple weeks to play when i dont think people will be there, but like, at the same time, im leaving so soon that its prolly not even worth it and the time is better devoted to another game.
But yeah, game looks neat. Graphics are really cool. Seems very fireball spammy, but you have the parry button for that. You cant air block, so anytime i would jump, its pretty much a DP in the face. Only a few characters have air dashes, too. The bunny and the cat maid girl do, but thats all i know of.
As far as the “new” fighters go, i heavily prefer big bang beat and arcana over battle fantasia. But hey, if it comes to console, i’ll most likely pick it up cause it was fun, but i just wasnt able to really play it and figure out anything…
That was the most damn weirdest shit I’ve ever seen.
Yay! It’s here!
The Nakano arcade just installed the machine today, and I got a good 2 hours on it today. My take on it: It has a very old-school feeling to it, very much like the capcom days of old (sf2, darkstalkers-ish).
I spent most of my time with Ashley, with everybody else either picking the big guy (death bringer?), Harry Potter, or CareBear. I did OK, but had major problems with DeathBringer. CareBear had an awesome chain that involved the bear trap, the delayed projectile, and the raining super. Sorry to get all “impossible to understand” on everybody, but overall, it was a great game, and I had a great time. I look forward to playing this more. I just hope that bastard HeartNana doesn’t get a chance to play…oh wait. There’s no Moe character, so I doubt this game will keep his interest.
r(T_T)o
Oh, and I was able to become invisible with Ashley, but I couldn’t do it again…I looked at the move list, and I couldn’t find the move. How did I do that?
HeartNana + Tricktoshi - did you guys take a look at my blog?
Japanese BF BBS here: http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/game/34182/
BF does have chains; it’s just that each character has very few. This is another area where it’s similar to third strike.
Yeah, both of the women look like adults…
