Seems like mizuumi.net kills the B3 wiki… and Akatsuki, EFZ and others wiki are still alive, is B3 really THAT unpopular now? =(
As far as i know, the original group who made the game (NRF) got a internal discussion and split into two groups, the original B3 team is now called Aja Games and i remember read in 2ch that they are now not interested in the game and want to make his own (fighting…?) game in 2008…
B3 is even abandoned by his own creators, sad but true.
BBB has the potential of being a good game. It just needs some work… and its not getting it…
Exactly. Looks like the best thing that can happen to BBB now is mugen.
Nobody worked on the wiki since 1.01. It was obvious nobody was going to, either. The EFZ wiki is new, I don’t expect it to get any work done but I think it has more of a right to be there than BBB does (there was no EFZ wiki before, it was added like a week ago)
I’m surprised anyone even noticed the wiki was gone, none of the information on it was even close to relevant
At least you can download the patch from that wiki at good speed, in contrast with Aja Games site.
I was expecting BBB-Base to mirror the wiki or start a new one. The one on mizuumi was outdated and empty anyway.
Well now that it’s gone, maybe some one actually will.
As for the patch file you could just mirror it on any file hosting sites and link it from BBB-Base and it’d be faster than aja.
Thanks.
is it possible someone could hack this game to enable netplay?!
what’s teh gripe with BBB? I really like this game a lot right now. it feels a little repetitive though… kinda rumble fish like.
In a nutshell: Game was really broken but could have been great with some tweaks, then it gets tweaked but for all the wrong things and just became boring.
it needs to be tweaked with dat online play :tup:…
good enough of a response.
I also heard some person say how they don’t like the was air block is done in BBB which I have yet to understand really…
haha
so burai is the only one that can parry? because… 100% honest… it gives him a HUGE advantage in quite a few matchups, when your opponent has easy to recognize overheads (eg vs. daigo)
Yes, he’s the only one.
You can air block every single fucking move in the game except for everyone’s 5B, and Ryouga’s 623c anti-air grab. AND there are no air-throws.
You can airblock a sweep. You can airblock a DP. You can airblock supers. Anything.
It’s ridiculous, and retarded.
But that’s just one of the many many problems this game has. Read some pages back, there’s quite a number of things people mentioned.
sounds like what was wrong with alpha 2 to an all time extreme. at least there were air throws in that game, and you couldn’t block any grounded attack (i don’t think)
Actually I’ll save you the trouble of looking and just repost a quicklist of shit wrong with the game that they didn’t bother fixing.
-
There’s no wallslam limit
Doesn’t matter if there’s scaled pushback. Having no limit just leads to retarded loops. -
OTG window too huge.
It’s a really stupid combo extender functionality. It’s basically like “Do your combo, then do the exact same combo again starting from an OTG hit!”. It’s just dumb. -
75% life BnBs
When half the cast can take over half your life with just a bnb or 1-stock bnb there’s something wrong. -
Broken Burst system
Some characters have limited cancel rules on moves/supers. The Burst (P-Escape) system makes it possible to burst on reaction to a flash for a guaranteed punish combo. This is ridiculous, I don’t care what it costs it’s just too fucking unbelievably stupid. You can literally [media=youtube]acFSDWsGXTM[/media] on reaction to the flash and she can’t do shit about it, she WILL eat a full combo. -
Airblock anything and everything except 5B?
As outlined in my previous post, being that there’s no airthrows and any move in the game can be airblocked other than 5b makes chicken blocking and OSing way too stupid. -
Way unbalanced moveset between cast members.
Burai having a parry and stupid bnbs and damage. Daigo having an instant overhead and 50/50 high/lows. Heita>Super mode. etc etc. -
Damage scaling is wack
Not just for normals and specials either. The damage scaling for boosting is also stupid as hell. -
P-system
The way the P-meter works is really dumb. -
The meter building system.
So unbalanced and out of wack. It’s kind of random, but not really. Characters like Kendo can rebuild a full stock just for hitting you with a super, which means she builds back the stock she just fucking used. -
Semi-Infinites
Yup.
the big dude… i forget his name… but if he blocks for a while, you get like four stock, just because he takes in EVERY SINGLE gem that appears. I thought that was stupid.
I agree with you on a lot of points there xenozip.
Sanzou. And yeah I mean it really is unbalanced between the cast. Characters like Kendo and Sanzou get too much for free while others simply don’t.
In the case of Sanzou you could argue he really needs it because he’s a very handicapped character, but on the other hand I just feel it’s a really silly. To me it makes no sense the way they did it.
[Edit]: Funny thing is, a lot of these issues are things that were either present in earlier versions of older games like melty blood (like really early MB:ReAct stuff) or even early Guilty Gear. And some of them are issues that probably those games would have had if the mechanics were different – meaning I can imagine the games would run into similar stuff. But the thing is, those games did something about it, like fixed it.
The BBB patches have overlooked all the major issues and changed things for the worse, repeatedly. Rather than getting better things just keep getting worse. So clearly whoever’s in charge of making these patches is really going in the wrong direction with this shit.
I remember talking about this on IRC not too long ago actually. I basically was thinking how the game could have ended up like a cross between Melty Blood and Guilty Gear if it had gone in that direction. And it probably would have been a really fun game. But as it stands now, it’s the exact fucking opposite of fun.
