None of the damn games offer anything ground breaking because the fighting game community tends to shy away from that. SF4 plays like ST remixed, TvC plays like Rival Schools remixed, HD remix is just that, and BB plays a tiny bit like GG.
That’s a given. There’s nothing wrong with that, because they all offer something new while helping you establish a foundation to start from. I played Rachel at the loketest, and while the notion of zoning the way she does isn’t entirely original, the fact I can use wind to blow them into said tools is, and that’s where the fun begins in developing and exploring the game further.
WHAT?? I don’t know what kind of gameplay movies you have seen, but Arakune plays like Zappa??
So far, the biggest draw to BB is the gameplay for them, the characters have interesting, unique mechanics to them and the pacing is perfect.
That said, Jin looks soooo beginner friendly. Freezing attacks that put the oponent in front of you, ready to get hit by a textbook combo without any stress?? Sign me up!!
Oh, and make no mistake, I’ll play and love SFIV but that will in no way down my exitement for BB. Gameplay looks soooo interesting.
Ok that’s all I wanted to know. Now on that note that’s sweet as fuck cause I like the theme GG uses in it’s fighting system, but like I said I just wondered if there was anything new that ARC came up with to put in the game. That was it I wasn’t trying to bash at all. I in fact want to play the game on that in depth level. I actually want to play this one pretty bad myself. Is the button layout also like GG still, or did they change that too?
You have the option to change the button layout to your liking.
If you play GG you can have it set as such:
B C D
A
Or if you’re a AH / MB player you can have it this way:
A B C
D
Unfortunately for us at the loketest the game was being run on XP64, but the sticks were made for XP32, so some fellow members of the community donated their sticks to play. This resulted in a cock eyed layout that we all had to adapt to, but it’s a small price to pay really.
It’s not downing my excitement. It was just a question. I’m still eager to play this it actually siked me up more than GG. So I really want to play it. I just don’t want to be let down. " Like all these new lookin shit and it still feels like GG just with new skin" is all I’m like right now. So that’s why I’m asking you guys. I’m trying to catch up on this title. TvC looks sweet too.
i belive its something new. its only 4 buttons now instead of 5. i saw in a match that u can change it how ever u want when u pick ur char. but i play pad so im not to sure.
That’s sweet and a good idea to let you map the buttons pre-match. I guess the button mapping would most likely depend on the character play style for me.
That was the crappy part of the test when the button were really mixed up like at the LCD station at AX, but it felt great playing the game again.
I still wished they brought the giant widescreen LCD screen and the jap cabinet with the correct button config to EVO, but I guess its too much to take since it was in Vegas.
They said they nerfed Taokaka, but I didn’t notice a difference when I played her again, one thing I noticed is that she doesn’t move slowly forward when you do her 236+A repeatedly , but its still abusable and last forever.
The primary problem with Taokaka is the walk-forward aspect of her Strong mashyclaw. The weak mashyclaw needs to cause more pushback, as it can combo after with other attacks. This is kinda crazy…
Also, if you’re going to give her a bowling ball move, you shouldn’t make it take 60+ frames to start-up. :3
koogy, you that know more about tao than me, and since I said id play her on Dustloop (im diveman there) do you have more info about her powerup super???
EDIT: ok nevermind, i saw it on DL. man it seems that her GJ super has lot of options and as you describe her animations she is totally cute. Well, its decided then, she`s my main. see you on DL take care.
I’m pretty sure they’re gonna make some more changes to her. If you and some other people noticed the problem, den I pretty sure the word got out to Arc.
i remember the aksys rep mentioning on saturday that the next blazblue loketest will be in new york “sometime next week” but i can"t get any info on it…
