Dual Blades Thread Redux

[System_1]

Slasher why dont use the DB sprites and create an engine ofyour own or a PC “fan” made game from scratch?

If I had time Actually I’m working a PC title at the moment and I can’t make a PC game, I may only modify the original one since it’s already done Hmm… maybe I can release a “fun” gba game rom By changing the game’s name and sprites a bit The problem is how illegal/legal this is… Anybody can enlighten us here…?

[System_1]

lol True no one would play it… but don’t you want to know that you’ve made the game the best it can be? BUT WAIT! Couldn’t you make this freeware and just make it downloadable online?:pleased:

I don’t own the Intellectual Properties, my ex-company does. So it’s probably illegal… Or somehow if the copyright ares timed out…Maybe… Or this will be just a pirated rom

Oh here’s a new extension of the previous combo I listed!

(On Duke in the corner) SUPER DEEP J.BS, air DF+SL, J.BS, air DF+SL, J.BS, DF+SL, Slash Dance, DF+BS (DIZZY) SUPER DEEP J.BS, air DF+SL, Slash Dance, DF+BS (24 hits 66% Damage!!!)

ROFL! I actually figured out that during the dizzy if I repeated the same formula I can raise enough meter for a second Slash Dance!:badboy: Thanks SlasherX!

You are welcome:rofl:

Don’t make the same mistakes as other fighting programmers, instead of toning down the better characters make the worse characters better.

I would do the other way, don’t worry…

Well here’s my toned down version…
Make him quasi-Weapon Mode, give him the DDD+P AA move but change it to DF+BS/SL (to prevent Weapons combo confusion) and only allow it to be juggled once.
Oh and keep Soul Spear, Soul Axe, and Soul Fist but reduce the damage.
BTW did you try out those Alperen combos I posted on the first page? Those should give you an idea on how broken he is. :razzy:

I see, Thanks! I’ll keep those in mind…

If anyone is willing to redraw the frames, I appreciate that :wgrin: The problem is how we’ll distribute the new one :sad:

SlasherX that can be arranged. Do you mind if I email you?

Oh something else I forgot to mention. It seems that when you increase the game’s speed a lot of the comboability of many characters get worse as well- not to confuse that with the combos being harder to combo (because of the small window) but some moves will actually not combo at all.

Was this planned?

Man White Shadow, your crazy. After you moved away, I just faded on this game and the second (arguably first, but I’ll just let you have it :razz:) best Dual Blades player was gone. How can you pour so much in, when their is no competition to give you something in return?

BTW, whatever you post here should be made into a FAQ for gamefaqs.com. That way, its greatness is documented forever.

What can I say? I just love this game too much! ^_^!

Just so you guys know this is my best buddy and arch rival Longsh0t. He’s the guy who basically forced me to get better and find the intricaties of every character. Many of my strategies are based off our battles. He’s actually a (slightly) better Kanae player while I excel with Efe. In fact he pretty much made Kanae’s Bread ‘n’ Butter standard because he was able to do it consistently before I could. lol

Efe is better anyways.

[LongSh0t]

:lol: I’m so honored.

NAGASAPA COMBOS!!!

Nagasapa is an interesting character. Although she has a few combos, she is not as combo heavy as the other top tiers Kanae and Efe. She does have many tricks and tactics that can thwart rushdown and just piss off people in general.

COMBOS:

-J.BS, BF+SL, J.BS, S.BS (7 hits 46% Damage)

This is her B&B and pretty much her only standard combo. It can be done from full screen although unlike most combos you need to find an opening from a distance to utilize. But the use combo doesn’t end here, it only adds to the pressure. (continued in the strategy section)

SUPER COMBOS:

-J.BS, S.BS xx Spirit Impact (8 hits 58% Damage)

Incredible damage as you can see, in fact Soul Smash is one of the most damaging supers in the game. Nothing special though.

-J.BS (ghost projectile), Spirit Impact (6 hits 56% Damage)

Long distance ownage, you’ll use this a lot.

J,BS, S.BS xx Ghost Army (14 hits 52% Damage)

Meh. Ghost Army is a good super but not for this reason.

J.BS, Ghost Army (13 hits 52% Damage)

Meh.

-S.SL xx Soul Smash

Ah if it isn’t Muscles, the ghost of a once living Prison Inmate. I don’t want to say what he does to you in the sky, but those sound effects aren’t punches… >_>

Nagasapa does have more unorthodox combos but because they are either impractical or require unique scenarios I will cover those in the strategy section.

Sayonara!

Yes, of course!

Changing game speed also changes the frame windows. I knew such a problem would arise, but we wanted to keep the game speed settings…

BTW, on which gamespeed settings you normally play?

[System_1]

Great News!!

I must be braindead, since I’ve forgot that I was making a PC version of DB years ago! My boss had asked me to do it in order to be used in some promotiona l stuff. We’d redraw the sprites with x2 scale But then we canceled this one due to the time constraints…
And now I’ve found it inside my dusty backup folders:) And I’m releasing it for you guys…

Actually this is just the fight screen and there is not selection screen or other things. Controls can not be changed, cause it was a test version.

I noticed that I’d changed to resolution to 320x240 and kept the fighter sprites. Also added some cool trail effects and shadows

Game’s speed depends on your monitor refresh. Normally it’s 60 FPS but I played 75 due to my monitor refresh rate setting.

The keyboard layout is:

• Arrow Keys : Movement

• NumPad 0 : Slash

• NumPad Enter : Big Slash

• NumPad 4 : Kick

• Numpad 6 : Power

• 1 : Change Fighter

• 2 : Switch Sides

• 3 : Toggle AI

• 4 : Fill Power Bar

And the download link is:

www.zoetropeint.com/test/DualBladesPC.zip

Just exract the zip and run DB.exe

And this is the Euro Version!

This will be probably buggy since it was my test version.

Have FUN!

IC… I play on Extra, any faster things start to get glitchy but Normal speed feels too slow for me personally. I also play with Rage mode and Healing On as well, makes the fighting experience feel more like “Dual Blades” instead of the boring traditional fighting.

EDIT: SlasherX HOLY CRAP!!!:wow: Lemme test this out! Thanks a bunch!:bgrin:

Awwww shucks my laptop doesn’t have a number pad.:crybaby:

I just tried it out. Well…I couldn’t see anything. All the colors are messed up, and most of the screen was just a blank purple. But I did notice the words “free cancel” and “last chance” come up on the screen as I was mashing buttons.

It works perfectly for me, I just can’t press anything. =/

I’ve added some keys, just download the same zip again.

W,A,S,D : Movement
T : Slash
Y : B.Slash
U : Kick
G : Power

Why is my screen messed up then? SlasherX? You got any suggestions on how I can see the game the right way?

Slash Dance looks 10 times cooler!

Nice intro music btw… Was it ripped or done by one of your programmers?

Thanks to that trail fx

Music was done by my friends with whom I’m working at the same project at the moment. This is a quite old work of them actually. There were more of these music. They were used in my first fighting game project (Dual Blades’ Anchestor Game) Slashers : Revenge Wars :wonder:

Can you mail some screenshots to me? Mainmenu and in-game.

And if you played with your video card options by using their utilities like ATI Catalyst Control Center… Try reseting all options back to defaults.
