Hey Guys I’m back to offer some insight on PaRappa the rapper.
Ive played a few matches and parappa has a few things going for him. His Rushdown is just insane i mean the priority and the meter gained from attacks with him is ridiculous. Not only that but PaRappa has a move which allows him to basically generate free meter without having to hit an opponent. Not to Mention his level 2 is controllable AND invincible.
PaRappa the Rapper:
+Insane Rushdown Game
+Meter Generating move (fightless meter gain)
+His 1000 Kicks, and BackHand moves generate a TON of meter very fast
+His Throws allow for more meter gaining shenanigans and positional advantage
+Level 3 in unblockable and covers the entire screen
-This Dood has 0 range, you practically have to french kiss the opponent to do damage
-Level 1 Super is laughable at best
-A Bit on the Floaty side which allows for some PaRappa only combos
-Easy Bait for characters with even the SLIGHTEST bit of rang i.e. Kratos/Radec
WHAT TO CHANGE: #Trade some meter gain for range seriously, Slow down the meter gain from his rapid attacks and add some range to his other normals #Make his level 3 only affect a certain area #Give him some sort of ranged move that allows him to approach
Thats it for PaRappa.
Man, if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, then it is as duck.
The only thing Sony did different with the game is taking away the percentages mechanics, which … are the best feature in the Super Smash Bros. franchise, since it adds a lot more tension to the game and you try to play better and not gather too many %.
Getting hit and giving the opponent meter for easy kills … meh, it just looks like you could care less, even though it’s not good for business as well.
Definitely doesn’t walk or sound like a duck though. Besides the obvious:
-button layouts are different IIRC
-combos work more like traditional fighters with the lack of DI mechanics
-blocking instead of shields
-no airdodges of any kind
I like that this game because It mainly has mainly sony characters which I believe are better than nintendo characters. I like the fact that there are 2nd and 3rd level specials unlike nintendo’s where there’s only one, though I am expecting some type of ring outs on some of the boards maybe. I would love to get a code for this game as I have been waiting for a couple of years for something like this to happen. thanks for reading this and I hope to hear from you guys soon.
That’s what I like about this game. At first I was thinking “Damn, this is just Smash with Sony characters”. But then I saw that these characters have actual 1 vs 1 fighter-style combos instead of just button mashes and omni-directional specials. This game is looking hella attractive. I can’t wait to see how well TTT2 Heihachi (and Jin, if the leak list was correct) transitions to this game.
Im looking forward to dante, and another platforming fighter as a whole. I already love the cast as well as some of the throwback supers. Hoping to see this game at evo!
It got a sticky because SRK was giving out beta keys and this was how they ran the contest. The contest is over. Stop being stupid and let the thread end so the actual discussion thread can keep going.
SPAS:BR- Seems like it has some interesting concepts. The level 1-3 power ups look like it could be a game changer if timed right. I like the fact the characters are starting to stand out compared to the Nintendo SB series. The fact that Sony is going to go again Nintendo is something worth looking into. I think the stages look pretty good. Some close and some spread out. I like that sony has not confirmed nor denied any of the leaked characters. They are playing as if it never happen and that is smart of them. I cant tell but i hope the air dodge system is directional like. That would make this game Great!
I got to play yesterday at the PSBR event held at iam8bit. Game was pretty fun, I really liked Ratchet and Fat Princess. We only got to play 4v4 free for all so it was hard to really figure out what the game was all about. I imagine 2v2 teams and 1v1 is alot less random and more fun… Heard rumors that Ratchet is top tier lol.
Just tried that public beta, and it’s in the bag how terrible the game is, despite being a mildly amusing distraction. Having supers as the only means of winning is possibly the worst thing ever.
It’s fucking stupid how good Kratos is. Seriously, his chains reach several character lengths away, cover huge arcs, allow him to combo into bullshit, and are safe as hell. Also I can dodge roll through them, perfect timing, and still get hit by them. He’s basically EX Marth.
Ranek is pretty cool if only to pretend he’s a Panzer Corps trooper. He has nice area control/zoning moves that basically don’t mean dick in a game that lets players jump in at odd angles and air control while remaining perfectly safe.
