Year of the Fighter 2009...it's official (says IGN!)

what is this i dont even

I’m kind of starting to feel flooded by all the fighters.

I played Dissidia on my friends psp. It’s not much a fighting game in a traditional sense. You still try to deplete HP but its more about Brave Points (BP).

Basically HP attacks deplete HP (hurr durr) and BP attacks take BP from your opponent and add it to your owns. The strength of your HP attacks are dependant on how much BP you have. When You deplete someones BP you gain extra BP from a communal “pot”. Basically try to build up BP to rape your opponent. There’s also ex mode where you could do a super move that takes a shit load of HP.

So basically how my rounds between me and my friend went to trying to whore each other’s BP (theres some cheap ass summons and items that piss me off to no end and change the tide so much!!!). Then get Ex mode to kill each other very quickly. So being the cheap bastard I am I kept grinding on rails so his ass couldn’t catch me cause I was getting my ass whooped by his cheap ass characters :rofl:.

there’s also “chase sequences” where if you send someone flying you follow after them. The attacker can do a slow attack to hurt HP or a quick attack for BP. The the defender presses x to dodge at the right time. If they dodge right they can attack. If you get hit by the quick one the defender is sent flying again so the attacker can do the chase again, HP one it ends it if it hits. Me and my friend kept going at this for a while and sometimes felt it’s better just to discontinue the chase instead of playing the damn minigame :rofl:. If you have SF reactions it’s just too easy.
