One Piece: Grand Battle Rush Discussion Thread

Did my video have an influence on that statement? :slight_smile:

Hey I’m reading the manga and at the part where they’re traveling in the Sky Island, so my question is: When should I play this game, based on knowledge on One Piece?
…and how is Zoro & Usopp in this game?

if you’re playing the US version then you should be fine, as IIRC they took out some of the characters from the later arcs.

If you’re playing the japanese version, then wait til after you meet some ice guy (trying to avoid spoilers) to play the game.

Gohan: Of course it has…damn Robin is such a whore now.

Gamma: there are only two characters you won’t recognize, no big deal IMO.

lol sorry. First within 10 minutes I find an infinite for Vegeta in DBGT Final Bout, and then this while doing her move list lol

guess I have a nack for finding exploitable things in Bandai anime games lol

Heh you don’t have to apologize…even before knowing your lockdown, I knew she was half unstoppable with those throws…now she’s full unstoppable…

But I still think she gets owned easily if you play keepaway. She’s too slow.

Gamma: Zoro is ok in this game. He hasn’t got good long range moves, but with a certain move he can upgrade his attack, and then if you’re not careful you’ll end up with half of your life bar with one or two combos.

Usopp is a good to play at a certain distance, since he’s got a ton of long range moves. He’s especially useful against human opponents, since he has a move AND a support that confuse your foe.

Play asia had it for $20…I ordered it anyway…surely its worth $20?

I hope.

Nope I haven’t seen an ice guy yet, unless you’re talking about Dulton or Lord Valpolu after eating a glacier :D. I’ll try to catch up the manga up until maybe Chapter 300, if I meet this ice guy, I’ll get this game…the US version DOES have Jap VA option right?

From what I heard, no it doesn’t have Jap VA… and they did the rap as the openning theme too…

And no, its a different ice guy (far further than the USA dub is at).

Oh crap…will still get it though, but I feel like asking if the VAs are ā€˜bearable’, I got nothing agaisnt DBZ Sparking’s English Dub (Heck I like it more than the Jap Dub plz don’t hammer me!) TBH, but I just want to make sure of this point. Also are there any anime cutscenes that I can unlock?
…and anyone got any tiers for this game? (Sorry for asking a lot)

The endings for the characters in event mode is a small anime cut scene.

And since I don’t have people to play against and haven’t unlocked the last couple of characters I can’t give you a good teir list. However from what I found with Nico Robin, that would make her pretty high on the listings. Just get the advantage health wise and lock them down.

IMO, the cheapest character is Kiji, the ice guy. The main advantage he has is that he can freeze you with a lot of moves. Especially there’s this move where he freezes all around him…it’s fast, and freezes 80% of the time…you can guess the possibilities from here.

IMO Robin is middle tier at best. the lockdown Shinji found is a little hard to perform against an intermediate player…

In the U.S. version the best is Krieg. He has a ton of damaging long range, mid range, and short range moves. His helper, Pearl, deals high damage, and burns you too. In the end, he’s easy to use. A high level Robin could probably reach the top tier, if you use miss golden week…

Keep in mind that I’m no expert player though: my opinions are to be taken with a grain of salt.

ShinjiGohan is probably much more skilled than me in fighters…it’d be cool to have a match sometimes, even if we probably live a couple continents away from each other…lol

I bought the US game yesterday & I’m starting to like the game! Although it needs some time to get used to the controls. I beat the game with Zoro yesterday (Zolo? WTF?!?!?!) & he OWNS. I need to know what stuff I can mix together to make a damging combo.
Gonna try Usopp whenever I can, plus he’s got Usopp Hammer! TOTAL OWNAGE!:devil:
It seems this game is up until the end of the Alabasta Saga for the US, which is fine by me…though some of the VAs are wierd, Sanji sounds like some stereo-typical mafia guy.

BTW I like the rap intro :P.

I would have to agree with this comment; he is crazy in this game. There is one combo that is almost inescpable in w corner. I haven’t played the game in a very long time but the basic idea is to trap your opponent in the corner and loop the combo. What happens is the enemy is frozen after the third hit, you then do they combo again and it’s almost impossible to avoid being frozen again.

By the way, does anyone expect another Grand Battle release for the GC, or will the next one be for the Revolution. OR…do you think they’ll be a new type of game? I know there is going to be a party game released soon, but it is not of the GB franchise.

OK I seem to be getting a hand on the controls & am enjoying this game A LOT, but I have some problems with their ultra deadly super attack (the ones that requie 2 levels to be performed)- how do I get them to do A LOT of damage? My bro managed to get Nami’s Tornado to do like 40% damage to his opponent.

The lower you are in health the more damage it does. It’s better to have less damage than your opponent, that way it works alot better.
Sometimes, there will be ā€˜failure’ animations; this occurs when your power is either a tiny bit lower of higher than your foes.

Also, if you pick up the blue diamond found in chests, you can do a full power super regardless of your health.

the guy who throws nets in the air and does power geysers is the shit, hes got armor and all
the net is a beast

That’d be Krieg

OK thanks no wonder the full animation didn’t come out!

Sometimes, as opposed to the chain just breaking in a failed Desperation attack, there will be ā€œFailureā€ animations. They are actually really funny; I have only seen Luffy’s, yet I believe everyone has them.
You’ll know them when you see them.
