Wow, Arakune looks sick in those screenshots… bloood.
I, incidentally, was thinking Eddie. And maybe Menos from Bleach. But mostly Eddie.
menos grande?
Yeah, I’m actually hope they increase the game speed itself just a little, and of course change that up a bit.
It’s like I hit you with a normal and I got a whole 10 seconds to hit confirm >_>
Don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned this but Ragna’s Overdrive is GROSSLY overpowered. First you go into overdrive mode by doing qcf x 2 + D. He goes into the mode like you would with destroy mode in GG so of course the chars life bar drains at this point. You get the opponent next to you and do qcf x 2 + D again. He gets this claw type hand and grabs the person. Now it’s like an evil purple color super of Arcuceid’s (or however you spell it) chain super except no chains just some type of energy, the animation looks the same. After the overdrive is over Ragna GAINS BACK HIS LIFE TO THE 90% MARK!!! Now, we’re not sure if something happens to him like his attacks do less damage or he loses stamina because I was usually doing this super and I was doing it at the end of the match to kill off the opponent.
Also, there is bursting in this game, but I do not believe there is a gold type burst. So only to get out of combos and such. Now bursting is bad for your char!!! Yes, you get out of the combos and such but once you burst your life bar will flash “DANGER”. While you’re in DANGER state any damage done to your char is DOUBLED!!! So burst wisely…

It seems he has another bar under his name… looks pretty unique this char!
So he will be playable at the location but the chinese girl won’t (just wondering watchin the select screen)?
i really hope all of arakune’s sounds are
uhh uhh
uhh!
uhhhhhhhhh
LOKE TESTS not final product. Geez.
No shit really?! I mean, I thought it was the final product because it says “TEST” every fuckin’ place you look. I was just stating what we have seen so far. Seems like the Damage mode will stay but the time you’re in Damage mode will probably shrink significantly.
-Tha Hindu
i guess that you’re talking about the hit-pause
Don’t worry about Ragna or “burst damage dbl crap”. This is ASW. They will create something FAR WORSE than what concerns you now. Hopefully they catch it and fix it.
I’m waiting for the rest of the cast before I worry about Ragna.
I think it’s fine. Completely… maybe include a hidden speed up cheat or something but for normal people this game speed is fine.
That aside…

Arakune shots in a much larger size :woot:
awesome find.
thanks!
they lack the essential black blob body.
looks for a picture of a black shy guy
And I LOVE the hitlag in this game. It’s just the perfect speed for my tastes.
“hitlag” wtf
i think its fine yall just think fasters better
It’s… different… but different is sometimes good. I kind of like it as well. We just need to learn how to abuse it.
-Tha Hindu
yeah that shits mad gay, I don’t know why anyone likes that. WOW I HIT THEM AND I GET TO FEEL THE HIT WOWSERS
I don’t mind it at all, I still play KOF98 and that game has some moves where the games slows down, so I’m used to stuff like that.
Aksys should have survey papers at EVO so we can write down what we don’t like and the problems BB has like the being knockdown on the floor for too long and some other stuff.
It is a Test after all.
Since I have yet to see a translation of the new characters’ backgrounds, I might as well offer some input:
Feilin
She is a doctor in the low-class Orient Town part of Kagutsuchi (the city where Taokaka lives?). Apparently, she is vital to the town because of her profession and her knack for sensing others’ needs (?). Something about her (?) actual reasons for coming here being forgotten? (Part of the text is missing/difficult to make out.)
Arakune
It is a student of the occult (supposedly black magic and such), which explains the books it reads during its intro as well as its personal “Curse” meter/abilities. Its body houses innumerable insects (hence its name? BTW, I sense a disturbing potential for Arakune x Shino doujinshi :lol:). Currently, it lives under the streets of Kagutsuchi. Because it needs to absorb large amounts of life force to continue its existence, it frequently attacks Kaka… people (those of Taokaka’s tribe) and humans alike. Recently, it has senses the presence of a being with unheard of levels of life force (Ragna?), which has caused it to stir (well, come out and fight).
thanx for the translation.
anbd people, the hit pause is nothing new in the games of ASW, its only that is more visible in BB for the speed of the game (a little slower than GG) and the duration of the hit pause (like 5 frames more than GG)
because the dramatic feeling, thats why i love gg ovr sf (that and of course is like 10000000…000 times better), and not only that it offers the oportunity for characters like venom and may work in a combo based FG, and it lets the people act after a counter hit, imo it offers many optionst that in other way it wouldnt possible
btw
fixed
