interesting. i just hopped out the shower, i was thinking about where to start. im about to jump off the net and pull out my think pad, put on some grappler baki season 2, and see where i go from there. i wanna look at a couple things with the vf system too also, but i prefer the movement, look, and feel to be that of tekken, but maybe with a bit more ompf, even though tekken does that good. its one of the things i loved about the 5 series and up, is that the sound, and feel was very like, got damn, when you got hit. where as though when i played vf5, it was like i was fighting with two butterflies at times. lol. i will wake up in the morning with a baki roster, and game mechanics i think. garouden is hard for me, because although i have all the prevous scanslations and raws, i havent really sat my ass down and paid attention past maybe like volume 10 or so. so ill focus just on grappler baki tonight.
i was trying to contemplate a grappler type system for the game, but it just came out stupid in my head, so ill see, and then see what everyone else thinks
^The Newer UFC games have given a pretty good template for an extended ground component, but then again you donāt really see advanced ground fighting in baki, and highly exaggerated striking, youād do better looking at tough for that as thereās a shitload of grapple fests in there.
Iād be really cool if we could get a group of people like the guy whoās making the hajime no ippo mugen(from scratch, hand drawn sprites and all) onto baki, but Ippoās fanbase here is probably much bigger with Bakiās(and there is that scanlation issue, but luckily for those of us not putting up with Yanwanghokuto/Ichido Reichan/Greco Espinoza/whatever heās calling himself this weekās shit, we have other alternatives.) But yeah we really need to attract some more talented fans here(as Iāve seen some french colorists on the ritual scan forge forum, and I donāt think Iāve seen many english fancolors besides mine, but for a bigger project like a fan game we would just have to hope someone with enough talent and passion would decide to follow through with it)
http://bakifanclub.deviantart.com/ -> has some collection of art done by him as well as other artists he favorited that have done baki stuff, pretty much most of the stuff Iāve seen, but seeing as how thereās people in japan like that guy who sold baki pillow covers that he painted on(canāt buy anymore), I wouldnāt be surprised if there was a fan game out there of some sort.
so i got around to some tough. i didnt pay attention when it was recommended and i really like it. shockingly to me, the shoot fighter tekken ova is based on the manga, and ive seen and liked that for a while now. lol. im all late and backwards. good stuff
Heres what happenned in the last Baki- Retu lectures the boxers on martial arts, telling them what works and is effective is the true martial art when they complained his attack wasnt boxing (seems kind of odd to me since Kung-fu is also as strict about form rather than function)
Then we get the scene with mr. Karate saying that instead of losing something, he`s gained instead (improved technique is the idea here) Maybe, Itagaki is setting these guys up with a comeback, instead of a robot arm- better skillsā¦
Iād like to know why Retsu has that damn 1930ās peg-leg when prosthetics that are shaped and function like actual legs are available, complete with foot sections. Kureha needs to stop slacking and talk to Retsu.
^And actually, itās not like there isnāt precedent for that in Baki as well, Kurehaās victims from the original Grappler Baki all had actual prosthetic legs/arms after going through his experiments, so why Retsu has a peg leg is hilariously stupid >_>
Wow I didnāt know that thereās a Baki/Garouden manga thread here in SRK. In any case, Iāve been following up Garouden more as of late, and Iām glad that up to volume 22 had been translated now.
I like how Garouden feels like 90s MMA, since I canāt help but see A TON of MMA and martial arts references from the series.
I hated that shit and especially how it ended. I never read that part again. What was the point of that fight existing in the first place? I wish it never happened.
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=49327 waiting for illuminati manga to upload this whenever theyāre done with it, was proofreading tough(1st series) for them but they put that on hiatus among other projects, they also put out holyland which is pretty good but thats stalled until they can get either a chinese or a japanese translator
