I’m probably going to get this game with another paycheck, I suppose.
most people didn’t even give this game a chance, hating on it without playing it. i can never get a good reason why the game sucks out of anybody though, other than “in the arcade version ashley has that one infinite lol”
awesome game. i’ve been playing it since it came out on the ps3
buying the 360 version too. hopefully people give it a shot and go online
It says the HP system makes the game feel unfair. The limited move set is both a blessing and a curse.
What?
It’s SF with fantasy characters.
I mean…
“That’s about it in terms of relating the game to an RPG, and the different hit point values make the game feel unbalanced, especially for novice players. Big beasts like Donvalve can have two or three times the number of hit points as their smaller opponents, making things feel unfair right from the start.”
Seriously?
"but even so this game is more about timing and calculated moves than massive combos or memorizing deep move sets. "
F’reals? Is this a bad thing?
BF is fun as hell. It deserves a solid 8 at least.
The score for the graphics is stupid too.
“Nice style, but no points for technical achievement”
So they look nice but don’t achieve things technically? I hate the video game industry.
It doesn’t matter when it comes to fighting games anyway. Reviews from EGM, GamePro, Nintendo Power, GameInformer, and internet reviews are pointless in fighters. Sure, they’re shown on other sites, but what really matters is if YOU like it.
From the review
Correct me if i’m wrong on this, but isn’t it common for the big bastards of fighting games to have more health (HP) than the smaller guys?
EDIT: Dammit I type slow!
the HP system is more for flavor than anything else. donvalve may have a crap ton of hp, but attacks simply do substantially more hp damage to him. sure, he does have more life, but its not twice as much like the numbers would suggest
anyway, my tiers:
S class:
cedric
A class:
donvalve
ashley
coyori
deathbringer
face
B class:
freed
urs
marco
olivia
odile
C class:
watson
cedric being the best character in the game seems pretty much uncontested
the difference between A and B class seems really small. urs and odile can possibly be A class
freed seems to get worse the more you know about the game. so does donvalve (i think he’s borderline B class)
watson is a piece of shit
I love this game, but I don’t get a chance to play it often, seeing as how I don’t have a PS3 yet.
Odile is the girl with the skull staff right?
She’s my favorite, nice and simple.
:lovin:
I play as Marco, aka Ryu or Ken, whichever shoto he is supposed to be.
Me and my only pal used to play all the time, then we just stopped. We should play some tonight.
i played BF most of the time i was in Japan over the summer and got some good play sessions with some people who still were playing the game
it’s been awhile since i’m in switzerland now for the semester (ps3’s with sister in the US :shake:)
imo Cedric’s better than everyone but i dunno if he deserves his own tier; at the very least the cast divisions aren’t too big in this game I think
olivia’s worse than watson
it’s 4 am here so i’ll make a more coherent post later
I thought the Japan consensus was that Watson was awesome? What happened to that idea? Something about bear trap lockdown and bubble combos I think.
This game is beast because it has a character named Face. I lol’ed when I first saw that shit. You got beat by my Face!
Anyone know if the Xbox 360 version has anything new or different from the PS3 version? I imported the PS3 version a while back and was planning to pick up the xbox version for live etc. Any changes or additions?
Thanks,
PSX
Not that I know of.
a patch was recently released for the ps3 version, but the only difference i notice is that you can pick bgms independent of the stage chosen (kinda like ggac)
doesnt seem to be any balance changes 
the game doesnt really need any changes though, though watson could stand to do more/take less damage, and not be such garbage at level 1
cedric drop kick should probably take longer than like 5 seconds to charge to level 3 also
who do you play with?
if everyone took game review sites seriously we probably wouldnt even be playing fighting games right now. for some reason the game reviewers never seem to “get” fighting games.
although the general consensus here seems to be that it is a fun and well made fighter, i have a feeling it might end up as a ‘niche’ game with a tiny community. i hope i am wrong though.
i will probably buy this if the netcode is good. fuck it, ill buy it if the netcode is tolerable. gotta show support for games that arent all instant airdash and whateverthefuck cancel happy. i like guilty gear and all, but recent games seem to put way too much emphasis on manual dexterity and stupidly long combos.
Everyone should get this game it’s like 3S + Crack :looney:
I’ll be getting the game as soon as any place around me has the game up for grabs.
GameStop is a no go. But the manager told me that since the game is now released, he can send a request for it to be shipped to the GameStop. He said that if inventory has any, then (if he sends the request today) it should be there by Friday…Saturday at the latest.
