I’m just saying that this game is seemingly using that as it’s only or more prominent point of advertising, and I don’t like that. YO BRO LOOK AT THESE SEXY GIRLS.
But that’s what AH did, but catering to JP trends instead. To be more accurate, that’s the main selling point of its aesthetics. The game also had great mechanics to cater to the more serious enthusiasts.
My point is that if you are going to shit on this game, it should be for its mechanics, not the marketing strategy.
Does stagger provide the same bonuses as critical stun does in DOA where certain moves will now launch on hit?
Rule 34 states that this is entirely impossible. ;p
No launching moves at all. No juggle state.
So what’s the benefit of stagger state? In DOA, the risk of being counter held in crit state is balanced out by the fact that it leads to the bigger damage options (juggles, critical burst, power blows, etc.). There has to be some reward for the risk.
That you can only hold, but not block?
Was I the only one who thought this was an indie PC game and immediately lost any sort of interest when it wasn’t?
I suppose the question then is, if they fail to hold your attack, can they continue to try to hold succeeding attacks?
I think they can only attempt a hold for the first hit after a stagger connects. Granted, this may be wrong, as it’s hard to do a combo while trying to time holds with my feet lol.
But, as far as I was able to tell, you can only attempt it for the first hit, and not randomly during an actual combo string. Or after the initial hit after the stagger connects. At least not until you hit them with another stagger again.
That seems good IMO
EDIT: has anyone tested the online mode?
Yesss, heck yes, this is the realness right here, getting research done without dummy recording or a programmable controller. Putting the other stick on the floor next to you, using your toes, using your elbows, holding two pads at the same time and hitting the trigger buttons against the edge of a table. It doesn’t matter! Whatever it takes! Data must be collected!!!
Just checked out the demo while waiting for tekken coins to replenish… holy shit this game is kinda terrible. PS2 graphics and Amstrad era game play. I can see why it would be compared against DOA but naw son, this thing is a straight up tragically poor.
Tragically poor for real. I played the demo and this is 100% shite. Don’t even waste your time… just play DOA instead
by DOA you mean even the old DOA2?
Played the demo for 4 minutes before doing something else.
Absolutely terrible.
