The Street Calibur 5 Lounge: The Soul Burns But not as Hard as the FGC is Burning

:rofl:

Real talk, the whole ā€œgenericā€ stuff applies a lot more to personality.

Gran somehow manages to be more bland than fukkin’ Ryu.

How is that possible?

Unist has a story mode? Lmao

Actually not a bad one either tbh.

I thought a lot of them were school uniforms too lol :man_shrugging:

There is Lore in Under Night?
I stoped paying attention after Eltnum was insisting to get a new Melty Blood.

Easy, Gran has no personality, since he’s just a hull for the player.
God Eater Protag in both Anime and Game are 2 different worlds.
In the game you make the personality up along the way of the story, cause it’s you.
In the anime they gave the protag the most boring ass background and reason to be there imagenable and he’s a complete idiot on top of that.
At least the scenes were he ends up fighting with Alisa are worth something.

I can give you that some little details could made them seem like that.
But if you actually put attention and just dont go hurr durr anime school uniform, is clear, that in the setting they are anything but that.

At best, you could say that Orie is an ā€œuniformā€ for a semi religious branch, but is when you see her companions of the same brand, at most what they have is the similar color schem, then you have wagner that has a look of her own with her own color scheme.

I believe Orie’s dress is literally her special posh private academy uniform, isn’t it?
Wagner I was going for the same logic, Anime academy uniform.
Hyde is definitively a school uniform, just worn loose, he even has the tie and on one of his shoulder there is the school patch. As per eltenum, I know it’s the same look as Melty, and that’s an Anime school uniform. Phonon it’s just schoolgirl clothes.

That’s exactly what they are.

Legit pick damn near any shounen action anime or manga that has a school setting and they look just like the stuff you see in Unist.

Because if he got any more personality with what little they had, he and Djeeta would not fulfill their purpose. Which just being a self-insert for the players.

So is Narukami, and while he’s an unbearable Mary Sue, he at least does have his own thing.

Bruh they’re school uniforms, don’t wanna hear it.

Actually, the only thing he wears from his school uniform is the blazer and the shirt (maybe).
Everything else is just accessories he wears that he thinks are fashionable in a chunibyo way, lol.

No they arent.

Not in the game. Either pull a Link and have they not say anything or give them a basic personality.

Gran is a cardboard cutout.

Narukami got his personality after P4.
In P4 he was just Gran.

How’s the game like. Any good?

That always felt kinda weird to me. I could kinda see Nine hot for Jubei if he was one of those deviant artish anthromorphic cat dudes or sumpthin’ but Jubei is literally a 4 foot tall cat who stands on two legs. She literally banged a big cat. No shade thrown, just saying.

Honestly I don’t know anything about Belial I just felt he radiated a lot of PGE (positive gay energy) and had to say something.

orie and wagner wear their anime church goon outfits
eltnum wears the uniform of an egyptian research institute called ATLAS, you can see little details on her clothes like an eye of horus and shit theyre mage illuminati

also UNIST story mode is cool and i like it but its very hit or miss bc its actually just a VN prologue to the main events that havent even happened yet. it succeeded in making me like some characters though, byakuyas backstory was particularly good

So far it’s fun enough if you’re looking for a beat-em-up to play with friends. Which is what I was looking for so :+1:

The idea is that Grant is the naive sort of newcomer to the world larger than what he used to live in, at least is the characterization he has been given on the anime and manga.
The problem is that you cant really do much with that archetype in what little they can show in the game, when compared to other media he is show in.

While Djeeta is made to be more peppy and more like still naive but a little more experienced.

Basically to contrast 2 different type of players, those who are starting in the game, and the one who already grinded multiple levels.
