Official Battle Fantasia thread - OUT NOW on XB360

Yeah love the parry system. (Makes stuff like [media=youtube]lKed_rrLUQs"[/media] possible whilst still having a risk of whiffing)

Think the main reason the game didn’t seem to do so well is 505’s crappy localisation (delay it until it ends up competing with SFIV and then only let one store sell it?) and then America not getting it on the ps3 for months afterwards.

That very well could be the case.
Plus, the Arcade version in Japan had flaws. Inescapable throw setups and infinites…

surprised people are still playing. anyone going to final round that’d want to meet up and play?

Holy Jesus! Where did he go to enable the auto-parry option?! No I’m kidding. That was crazy. There’s no way I’m ever going to unlock that achievement. I can barely parry the first three hits of Deathbringer’s final attack as it is. You’d have to be a god of parrying to beat Deathbringer on the hardest difficulty with a perfect while parrying his entire finishing move.

Didn’t see these combos listed:

Corner Heat Up:

6B, 6 c.C, 2C 236C, 623C

  • Misses some shorties or crouchers

6B, 2A 2B 236C, 623C
or
6B, 2A 2B 236C, A (wiff), 623C

  • Works better on shorties.

Likewise off a low:

5B, c.C, 2C, 236C, 623C
or
2B 2A 2B 236C, 623C
or
2B 2A 2B 236C, A (wiff), 623C

Off neutral or a throw (in corner of course):

63214P, 66, c.C [6D], c.C, 623C

  • Basic, easy

63214P, 66, c.C 6D, 6, c.C 236C, 623C

  • Possible for many different kinds of resets. Try doing:
  • c.C 6D, 6 63214P or
  • c.C 6C, 6 c.C [6D]

63214P, 66 c.C, c.C, 2C 236C, 623C

  • Slightly more damage but harder to hit.

For the throw combos, you can actually heat up after the throw during your 66. Top combo does slightly more damage than doing 66 c.C 236C 214214P.

As long as you can nail a command throw while still in heat up, you should be able to get a full combo. So for example, you can reset like …

Heat Up, (some attack), 63214P, 66 c.C 6D, 6 63214P, 66 c.C, c.C, 2C 236C, 623C

There’s a bunch of other wacky stuff that I don’t know if is any use or not too, but you can do stuff like link off a j.214B or multiple f.C’s and so on.

Also a slightly stronger High Gatchi mid combo:
High Gatchi, 3D, j.D, 623C

I’m sure it’s buried in here somewhere, but NewEgg has it on sale for $10 and I’m wondering what the 360 netplay is like.

Better or worse than SFIV? BlazBlue?

If it’s anything like the PS3 version, the netplay is decent, with similar performance to SFIV (can’t speak for BB since I haven’t played it). The big problem is finding people to play against. PS3 users have it harder since that version never came out in America, but I’d imagine the 360 version would have more people online. This might change if Aksys ever gets around to getting the game on PSN like they wanted to months ago, but they seem to have missed their proposed Fall 2009 release and they’ve been quiet about it every since.

I’m noticing on the CheapAssGamer forums a lot of people are commenting about grabbing Battle Fantasia for the 10$ pricetag. Anyone else thinking that this sale could breathe a little bit of life back into online BF?

According to Siliconera it’s supposed to come out next week for PSN. Don’t know if they’re a reputable source though.

AWW fuck yeah i’m gonna be all over that. Who’s with me?

Whoa. I already have the old disc ver though. Still, that would be awesome.

I’m buying it if it really does comes out next week.

I sold my Xbox 360 copy (fitting as my 360 RROD’d recently), but I’d pick this up again if it is coming out for PSN. Fun game

Aksys Games says an official announcement for the PSN version will be coming very soon”, so we should be hearing about a final date pretty shortly. :tup:

According to their website, the new version should pretty much be identical to the Xbox one, but with 5 new trophies:

  1. Outside of training mode, dish out a total of over 1,000,000 damage.

  2. In single-player arcade mode, seduce every character with Ashley?s taunt.

  3. In single-player arcade mode, get 25+ hits with Coyori?s Cat Storm.

  4. Outside of training mode, as Death Bringer, defeat an opponent with a single move.

  5. Outside of training mode, win a match with only 1 HP left.

damn, i cant wait anymore, they need to release it ASAP

edit

Battle Fantasia PSN version Out Next Week!!! or at least is what they say

It’s out now.

ohhhh i was always curious about this game, is the netcode good enough? as i’m never gonna get friends to play this locally after I spent so much time convincing everyone to play blazblue and they all dropped it in a few weeks :slight_smile:

Ive played this a number of times and love it, but I just got it for xmas/birthday! (for 360)

Now I should learn a combo and stop mashing 360s with Donvalve and being gay with gay-guile.

Sure is. The official website finally updated with the story. Cost is $19.99. I’m gonna download this for sure!

oh fuck yeah! tomorrow i’ll definitely download this~
