Apparently new trailer
[media=youtube]gMvLu3ARjJM[/media]
Game’s release date (August 06, 2009) is already today (at least for my timezone)
So this is what I gathered from now (reviews of people who played the game)
Description
Game was rushed to come out together with All Riders vs DaiShocker, so it lacks a number of rider forms, plus part of riders is uncomplete/unplayable (look below). A rushed project, and no matter what happened, it had to be released in time for the Decade movie, apparently they thought no one will buy the game if it will be released later, because hype will calm down.

Forms
+Kuuga [Mighty Form][Dragon Form][Pegasus Form][Titan Form] and seemingly [Amazing Mighty Form]
-Kuuga [Ultimate Form] isnt exactly playable, it only can be seen in his super move cutscene only
+Agito [Ground Form][Trinity Form]
-Agito has no [Shining Form], and seemingly no [Flame Form] nor [Storm Form]
+Ryuki [Normal form][Survive Form]
+Faiz [Normal Form][Axel Form]
-Faiz has no [Blaster Mode Form]
+Blade [Normal Form][King Form]
-Blade has no [Jack Form]
+Hibiki [Normal Form][Kurenai/Crimson Form]
-Hibiki has no [Armed Form]
+Kabuto [Rider Form]
-Kabuto has no [Masked Form] nor [Hyper Form]. He does Clock Up instead of form change
+Den-O [Sword Form][Rod Form][Axe Form][Gun Form] (and apparently Liner Form)
-Den-O has no [Climax Form] (but Decade has it)
+Zeronos [Altair Form][Vega Form][Zero Form]
+Kiva [Kiva Form][Emperor Form]
-Kiva has no Garuru/Bassha/Dogga forms, but he can access their weapons in Emperor Form instead
+IXA [Save Mode][Burst Mode]
+Decade [Normal Form][Climax Form] - Climax Form is similar to the one seen in Ganbaride, but worser looking because imajin rider masks are on his 2 arms and 2 legs instead of head/torso/2 shoulders
-Decade [Complete Form] isnt exactly playable, it only can be seen in his super move cutscene only
…DiEnd, Gatack, Autovajin, G3-X, Ouja, Ryuga, Dark Kabuto and Nega Den-O all seem to have 1 form only; and Dark Decade has everything same as Decade
Arenas: There are around 10 arenas each based on one of those Kamen Rider shows, so it represents that Kamen Rider world

Kabuto game>Climax Heroes seriously :arazz:
Yeah, kinda sad really.
omg is this serious
when is it going to be realeased >.<
and Decade is good
Like three posts up was this
I’m playing it right now. Game looks and sounds good but I see the places already where it seemed unfinished. I was kinda hoping it would be like a MK Trilogy type game where everybody is present and accounted for. That would be too much like right though.
It’s interesting to note that the combo system turns out to be a bit more in-depth than I originally thought. You can actually “roman cancel” by double tapping forward during a combo, at the cost of one portion of your super bar. I managed to pull off a rather nice 11 hit combo with Zeronos using this.
I guess the game’s not as bad as I thought, taking this into account.
So, were my assumptions correct? Are the Rider’s who can speed up/freeze time God tier? Like Kabuto and Faiz, and hopefulyl DiEnd can use his microwave band like how he does in the show.
Well, not really. Thankfully the game scales damage on combos, so once you do 9-10 hits with Kabuto or Faiz in Clock Up/Accel, you start doing very little damage per hit.
I played it too, however cant unlock secret chars yet because after battle ends, characters just stand there forever instead of winpose being loaded on PCSX2 builds I currently use; so Im gonna post few questions on appropriate forums since there may be new PCSX2 builds/solutions, and hopefully I will get this fixed.
I readed somewhere that Hibiki’s playstyle was somewhat special but I dont really see in what. Combos aside (since they are more or less generic), in normal form he has
-air flame breath
-flame breath as mid-ranged special move
-Ongekida Drumming as close-combat special move (apparently the faster you tap the more drumming you get)
…and Hibiki Kurenai has
-air Kibojutsu Rekkadan (drum stick fireball, hard to aim)
-Ongekida Drumming (same)
gameplay-wise he is basically the same Hibiki minus one special move and minus ability to do super; well he has longer combo strings like all extra form characters, but thats about it.
So is it some feature about Hibiki that I dont know? Maybe different drumming styles?
Another question is about those “easier inputs mode” rumors. Are there several ways to input special moves, one specifically made less complex for beginner players, or no?
I just got finished playing Faiz and was gonna post this myself. Shit, Decade has an infinite but that shit just nulls out after a while so really long combos are just for flash here.
And just so I can pass it on, Decade’s Inf is [:r::r:+ Square, :r: + Square X 4] Repeat in brackets.
And everybody has a universal combo that is Square, Triangle, Any Special. Mileage may vary per rider. Decade is a great example with his sword.
I’m planning on using Blade, Agito, Faiz, Decade, Kabuto, and Kiva. So hopefully I’ll get my copy. Put up some matches on youtube!
Found a nice 12 hit combo with Burst Mode IXA.
:r:+Circle, :r::r:, :d:+Square x 3, :r::r:, Triangle x 4
Also a very nice, and very cool looking one with Kiva. 9 hits, finishes with Darkness Moon Break.
Square x 3, :r::r:, Triangle x 2, :r::r:, Circle x 3
Don’t think so but no Takeshi and no Armored Hibiki makes me very sad
Already on this game’s nuts just because it’s Kamen yo. Rider Kick all on yo ass
Also eff Kabuto and his gay ass clock up
With some rider forms here, I seem to dont get gimmick of their playstyle, like what is their special feature. Others though have some outstanding features. Few examples are
-Kuuga Titan and Den-O Axe Mode super armor
-Blade King Form distance management (because when he creates 5 cards in Royal Straight Flush moves, distance affects number of cards passed, which affects damage heavily. On long distance his moves deal gigantic damage, but very small up close)
-Kiva’s Wake Up mode makes his attacks deal 150% damage while its on
-Kiva Emperor’s Zanvat Sword move is a great guard breaker, it fills 80% of opponent’s Guard Gauge if blocked, few more hits and his block is shattered, rendering him fully vulnerable for a good chunk of time
I also discovered the gimmick of Hibiki Kurenai: his Ongeki Drumming is more advanced, as I could get only 12 drum hits for normal Hibiki and 21 (sometimes even 22 I think) with Hibiki Kurenai. And his new Jumping Kibojutsu Rekkadan helps his long-range game, since opponent would want to stay away from him, fearing Ongeki Drumming
Most generic (non-specialized) characters to me are
-Kuuga Dragon (dont see whats his specialty, maybe just normal attacks speed)
-Agito both forms
-Ixa both forms
-Decade default moveset (selecting his super forces you into that moveset, and I think Dark Decade has it by default)
Also Zeronos Altair and Zeronos Vega dont have too much differences between them, most of moveset is the same. Well I can say Zeronos Vega has his gimmick with Zeronos Nova shoulder cannon move, as its delay disappears when it misses, so it can be spammed all the way until it hits once
I think I could write some analysis about every rider/mode so if others know something else they will tell me
Who else thinks Agito is bottom tier?
Dunno haven’t had extensive playing with him but fucking Diend is PISSING ME OFF
