The SRK Blazblue General Discussion Thread

Hip hop influenced 2D fighting game? If done right that’s a fuckin dope idea. And of course by hip hop, we are talking about REAL hip hop. That is, text book, boom bap instrumentals. And let’s see besides music GG’s characters derived their names from Rock related things. Hip hop inspired character names I’d go with.

Roc
Punisher
Dilla
Blaze
Pharcyde
Scarface

See you can get names from hip hop for a fighting game that aren’t totally silly and don’t ness make you think of rapper stereotypes while still paying homage to the genre.

Now that I’m really thinking about this, I actually have ideas and would love to see some shit like that.

Personal opinion… I take no offense to that.

GG is rock THEMED. The cast names, attacks, appearances it’s all rock themed.
There Orochi Hayate, that’s why it’s fits GG. GG is a rock influenced game.

Now BB may not have rock themed music. That’s a possibility. It’s true. Note in Overture, one of GG’s tracks were redone with a piano. So there is a chance that BB may not have rock theme music. But keep in mind that Ishiwatari loves western music. Also note that it’s the GG team doing the game and Ishiwatari is doing the music . You can of course play some other music when playing any game. REMEMBER***No one has stated officially that BB is rock themed***

I agree that they should be something more than just rock tracks since it shows a more open mind and skill on the teams part. I get your point as to why you would want different music.

A hip-hop themed game would be badass though. Hell I might do it for my own fighting game someday!

i agree with you in theory but those names sound gay as hell sorry

besides, metal in a fighting game just makes commercial sense because nerds love metal. i mean i’d love a fruity art fag fighting game game with oscar wilde and morrissey tributes as playable characters and music like this but yeah its just not gonna happen

I hope the Ex moves aren’t gimmicky. Instead, they should be combo-finishers. Kind of how in Arcana, you finish a combo and then use the Arcana to help you set up the next combo. But then it’d be too much like Arcana. I wish there was more info on the gauges though.

Dude, I’m gay for Morrissey. He’s my idol. I would totally play a Morrissey fighting game. You would aswell.

I read through what I could of it, and I don’t see anything about it being a GG sequel, it just mentions that it’s being produced by some of the same people (as well as the character design)

Is there more information than just those pages? Or are people just assuming shit and posting it as fact?

AFAIK the only comment regarding guilty gear is about someone who said it “feels like guilty gear”.

hell ya :lovin:

Sigh. Read this please.

Guilty Gear is the JoJo of the videogame world.

How anyone can think that the music doesn’t fit is just…dumb.

Hmm, interesting, and I thought we were going to be able to get some serious play time with GG before everyone jumped boat again… Unless of course because of the new name no one jumps boat. We shall see what the future holds I guess.

Also I think Noel is cool, cause she has guns, but unlike anonym her guns are badass and huge. And yes beret’s are good… sometimes, in general french girls are like Woah ugly or supa hot, in my experience at least.

Running arcades in japan must be hella expensive. New fighting game trying to come out every day.

Fair enough.

How do they animate so many hi res 2d games, while SF4 looks like MK Deadly Alliance? What the fuck?

You notice all those hi res 2d games burning up the sales charts anywhere outside japan? No? There’s your answer.

Well, GG is not street fighter. Either way, Basara, HnK, GG, and now this. That is impressive.

Agreed.

Any way, to me, it wouldn’t be so much of a “disappointment” if this game basically turned out to be like AH, where the sprites were like 480p and the BGs were 780p.

What would really disappointment though, would be if, after all this, we still get a game that basically has the same amount of animation frames as GGXX. C’mon, now, ASW. You’re really going to let the Yuki and their loli game outshine you in the graphics department? :rofl:

Fucking awesome!

And keep the shit Rock-based, im still waiting for a Dream Theater based character named Petrucci or something.

steven wilson will be the las t boss

I haven’t read any of this thread beyond the first post so i apologize if it’s been said but this looks exactly like GG to me and i wouldn’t be surprised if it played similarly considering who’s developing it.

That being said it looks really nice i like the style and can’t wait wait to play it.

Random question: assuming this and arcana heart never come out in english will the imports work on a ps3?
