Platinum* Games new game. Anarchy Reigns

[tharimrattler]

just unlocked rin rin.

trying her in team deathmatch anyone got a combo I can try?

[Optimus_Cack]

Is it true that the huge characters are element-less? Perhaps in theory…they can catch any ball. This means Gargoyle is the perfect goalkeeper. Has ranged ballstealing and catches any element.

See, this is exactly what i was talking about. It feels like half the rules are hidden. Is there some point in the singleplayer that explains the rules of deathball with greater depth?

[Sarangha]

I don’t know if you noticed this but Oinkie and Gargoyle are OP in survival, you cant compete with them unless you steal their executions.

Yeah you’re right, I only had 11-12 kills some games when those two characters got up to a whopping 40 lol.

[MunozScyther]

Everyone in this game has an element. 6 Fire, 6 Lightning, 3 Ice, and 3 poison. Notice the little icons for their killer weapons? That identifies their element.
Fire: Jack, Big Bull, Baron, Douglas, Rin Rin, and Durga
Lightning: Leo, Mr. Nikols, Max, Gargoyle, Mathilda, and Ai Rin
Ice: Sasha, Fei Rin, and Garuda
Poison: Zero, Oinkie, and Bayonetta
When one reaches level 3 in any mode with levels, killer weapon attacks will cause status effects.
In Deathball: When someone does superstar shot, someone with the same element as the person can catch the ball.

[AYO]

I think the red eyes is a more literal use of the phrase ‘seeing red’. The people it affected are ready, able, and more than willing at the point in time to kill the others in front of them. Kinda like how it used to be thought a bull will charge at anything in its path if it sees red.

Please note I still haven’t completely, totally gone through black side, thinking I have to start it over.

Could be, but it only ever happened in close proximity to Max and they would change to irrationally violent. Even Blacker Baron was ready to kill Jack if he didn’t relent on Max. How odd we are discussing a plot that is rather bare bones lol, fun though.

Asshole teammates in the Survival modes is getting annoying, why would you knock them out of my SS mode punches just to get us both killed…THREE TIMES!

Just to add to this, in rampage mode anyone can catch any superstar shot regardless of element, got clowned today because of this haha.

[Solless]

My point of fact is that Nikolai hovers behind Leo with glowing red eyes for a moment while Max was nowhere nearby in the White side Stage 4.

I don’t mean to insult your skill but why would you be doing the rage mode punches in survival? You kill things WAY faster by spamming KWH.

[kitsunisan]

God damn it, there has to be some secret tech for Jack, no way they give Steve motherfucking Blum a character that’s so damn useless.

[MunozScyther]

Oh and someone was discussing tiers earlier? My thoughts are…
Up there: Bayo, Zero, and Rins
Close: Durga, Max, Baron, Mr. Nikols, Oinkie and Douglas
Mid: Garuda, Sasha, and Leo
Low: Mathilda, Bull and Jack

My point of fact is that Nikolai hovers behind Leo with glowing red eyes for a moment while Max was nowhere nearby in the White side Stage 4.

The story isn’t exactly well explained but from what I take this is the most logical explanation:

[details=Spoiler] Max was head motherfucker in charge at the BPS for a while but after a civilian(Jack’s daughter) was killed during a hostage situation by a member of the BPS on his watch(who did it who is never said but Max said he didn’t do it and its safe assume it was Nikolai, and I think this was a part of his plan) he became depressed and alcoholic. Nikolai being the power thirsty cunt he is took advantage of this and hacked Max’s shit through the BPS’s computers. Every time Max had gone berserk in the story I believe Nikolai caused it, instead of it being random, even when the BPS encounter him in Hong Long. I think Nikolai caused him to go berserk during this fight because he knew Max wouldn’t be much of a fight(and he wouldn’t seem as guilty) unless he appeared to be violent. This is also why Max killed his wife, a part of Nikolai’s plan to gain control of the BPS, setting Max up. This is also why Nikolai wanted Max dead so badly, he didn’t want any evidence left behind, and he didn’t want Max to break free and stop him.

If you remember the scene in the desert where Max mutters tearfully “I’m sorry, i’m so sorry, I knew it wasn’t you, I know you didn’t do it. But I needed a suspect you understand? They all wanted it, the pols, the police, the judge, the goddamn family. You…You were the lamb…The sacrifice”. When you see that you think “What the fuck is he on about” but i’m certain he’s just repeating what the voice in his head(Nikolai) told him, he doesn’t understand who did this to him but he remembers what they told him. Max getting all red is the result of the virus/hacker taking over him and making him crazy.

Max was the only person in Nikolai’s way so Nikolai decided to find a way to both ruin him and destroy him, though he ultimately failed.

[/details]

Spoiler

Nikolai has some sort of control over this red thing, at least thats what my theory leads me to believe, I also agree that the red can spread via proximity

The fuck you put Nikolai over Oinkie for? switch their placements around and there you go.

This isn’t just picking favorites, this comes from using both and watching gameplay from others.

What does Mr. Nikols even have over Oinkie?

---

I might pick up Zero, I practiced with him and played a game of DM, his combos are pretty fun, his design is really cool, and his moves are awesome looking. I also like the heaven and hell blades he has going on.

[Joshkaz]

Onkie mid tier? da fuk? Boss Pig too gdlk to be considered mid.

[MunozScyther]

I wasn’t picking favorites this is my experience from using all the characters. To correct myself I will say that they are even.

[tharimrattler]

this game is crack!

[Mr.X]

I haven’t played Mad World, but I have a feeling the red eye thing is a reference to that since the scene goes grayscale or white and black and most of Jack’s backstory. Current Garuda is a result of that game.

I don’t recall any red eyes in Madworld. Bull was the human that got turned into a full cyborg in this game.

This thread makes me want to go learn Sir McMotherfucker.

Apparently they aren’t any good Bayonetta’s on xbl, so my opinion of her isn’t very good either. I don’t think she sucks, but outside of her damage I don’t think she can touch the Rin’s incredible bullshit. People also need to think of Fei in the same category as Ai, apparently Fei can use jKWL to convert off her 360 into full combos. It makes me feel low tier even when I’m using Zero. That dive kick is pure bs by itself anyway.

I also need to find a way to prove all of you Jack haters wrong, though I don’t know if that is possible.

[po_pimpus]

Oh no, Bayo is ridiculous. I know from first-hand experience getting my shit pushed in by her stupid ass speed, priority, range, and jump-cancelled shit into more shit.

Does Baron have anything that can be jump-cancelled? I’m trying to put together a solid BnB, but I’m having trouble. For the most part, I’ve been trying W,W, delayed W, KWH but I don’t think that’s a true combo. I want something that will lead into j.KWH for the damage and knockdown though.

Been trying to win against higher level guys and I just can’t compete with their damage. I feel I have decent defense, but my offense is really stagnant. I need to kill mofos like I know the Pimp of all Pimps can!

[Joshkaz]

I just use
H, J.H, W, short pause, W, Jump, W, short pause, KWL, L, L, H

[Boodendorf]

Are there any strings that Jack and Fei have that can launch outside of a raw launcher?

Any weak attack for Fei. Jack not really.

The fuck you put Nikolai over Oinkie for? switch their placements around and there you go.

This isn’t just picking favorites, this comes from using both and watching gameplay from others.

What does Mr. Nikols even have over Oinkie?

A 90~% damage combo on heavy characters (still able to do it on smaller char but harder) and the air KW trick. That’s not enough to make him better than Oinkie though.

Oh and someone was discussing tiers earlier? My thoughts are…
Up there: Bayo, Rins
Close: Douglas, Zero, Max, Durga, Oinkie, Baron, Nikolai
Mid: Sasha, Leo, Mathilda Garuda/goyle
Low: Bull and Jack

Fix’d this.
Not like a tier list really matters in this game aside for Jack.

Does Baron have anything that can be jump-cancelled? I’m trying to put together a solid BnB, but I’m having trouble. For the most part, I’ve been trying W,W, delayed W, KWH but I don’t think that’s a true combo. I want something that will lead into j.KWH for the damage and knockdown though.

Strong, AA, air weak xx air KWH. You’ll find the timing for this one quickly, it’s also the only way I’ve found so far to combo into one of Baron’s kwh. You can’t combo into his ground kwh. There’s also Strong, AA, air weak, air weak KW before landing, jump forward weak xx air weak kw.
Aside from that, the wake up with guard glitch video I’ve been talking about has been uploaded (and oinkie’s ground infinite too).

No idea what the input is but I know that it’s caused by stun > Hard knockdown.
