So we got some combos now.
From Dustloop thanks to Xenophobian:
soâŚwhere the vids from evo?
Rachel sections comes off to me as BnB starters
Just came back from EVO!
The play test was more packed than at AX, good to know there were fans there.
Even though we got to play the test version that has Arakune and Bang, we got to see Carl Clover in action for a few minutes, and we got to see the 2 Final Bosses :bgrin:
HmmnâŚchances for 2 hidden characters maybe? Or maybe theyâll pull a Guilty Gear Missing link and make a 3rd for when you complete the game without losing a round.
Looks like they could be playable, because when they showed us the bosses, players were able to play as them in the character select screen in the above spaces and they had art portraits.
Excellent thatâs what I like to hear!!
and how do they look, are they male, female, are they badass, do they look old or young, tell me please:sad:
Can anybody tell me the names of the revealed characters again?
This is what I remember.
V13 (thatâs her name)
The first boss is a female, she literally looks like she came out of an anime because she is a Mecha- Cyborg Chick, she is colored all white and has short white hair, she had mecha shoulder pads and a eye scanner looking thing on one of her eyes. She is short but she floats.
Final Boss ( I forgot his name because it was Japanese, male)
Ok bear with me, this is how the final boss looksâŚ
Justice + White Samurai = Final Boss
He looks like Justice but as a Samurai with a long sword.
The boss characters werenât finished so all you see is their standing animations, but the bosses are not huge, so it looks like they can be playable in the final version.
And the rest of the cast?
Gah, Moar news on Carl/Tao/Bang/Arakune!
So I wasnât aware that Taokaka had a projectile. From the descriptions, it sounds a lot like Hsein-Koâs item throwing skills from Darkstalkers. Doesnât seem like it would be very reliable if itâs random and slow.
And as for these boss characters, I hope they will be playable as âtoned downâ versions. I get the feeling this game will be very well balanced overall.
Justice as a samurai shitâŚif he is playable then I diff have my main sorted fuck shit sounds tight, but can I ask do the character designs look good ?
All 10 characters on the roster were not playable, Litchi and Carl were only showned during debug testing.
I wasnât there when Litchi was shown because I was waiting in line for SF4 and didnât knew what was going on, but what I heard is that she was not completed and looked jerky due to so many missing animations.
Carl Clover
I did get to see Carl Clover in action only once because they only allowed him to be playable only once since he was not completed.
Here is some info on his Puppet.
-The Puppet is a tall mecha Girl in a blue dress (looks really cool), when she walks to attack the opponent she walks slowly like a Zombie extending her arms.
-She has a grab move that holds the opponent with arms and it looks like Carl can attack while she grabs.
-She has one attack where she extend her arm and the attack does 4-5 hits, good reach.
-She also had another attack where she glowed green and some jap signs appeared on top of her arm and attacked, it looks like that animation wasnât finished.
-I heard some info that the Puppet has a Robo-Ky style Heat Gauge which you can see under the characterâs name.
Carl has some attacks where he pulls out some Gadget looking object to attack, but he was still not a completed character.
Carl sounds really interestingâŚ
His hat bothers me though. When he turns around, that metal part is going to swap sides. Same for his robotâs earring.
âŚ
the chick sound interesting, the final boss sounds o_O, i guess that i need to see them to get what yo mean, because justice is my fav final boss of all the times, btw thanx for the info
for some reason, Iâm imagining that V13 boss to be a real heavy butch football chick.
totally lesbionic?
But hearing that she looks like an anime character makes me believe otherwise. Now if only sheâd have Samus Aran vibes.
Yeah, I asked the guy running the loketest if I could play with Carl, and he was gracious to let me and koogy play with the character. Unfortunately Carl was in the unfinished stage, hence him / her not being playable in the loketest.
As far as I can tell, the doll has a command grab, a dash punch, and some sort of counter. His normals look like Lisolette from Arcana Heart. Outside of that, he didnât have much anything else. Didnât find a way to control the dollâs movement otherwise.
With that out of the way, I got to play this game a few more times and I had alot of fun. This easily eclipses SF4, ST:HD, and TvC for me. I canât wait.
thats because bb is the game of 2008, and its a shame that carl wasnt playable, what about lichy and bang, they were playable too or not
Bang was playable, I didnât see anyone use Lichie⌠so I assume she wasnât finished or a majority of peeps gravitated towards Rachel or Taokaka. from some of the matches I saw, Bang looked like a slower chipp with better vitality. He has a super where he throws an umbrella that opens up in the air, floats, and rains nails from above. It acted similar to a trap / contain move, and there were times where players activated it on knockdown. Any of the players who had experience first hand is probably the best to reveal more of his gamestyle.
