Killey Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Can someone elaborate on what the D button is? The only information we have is this: -D (EXS Action). -Shield (press D while blocking) requires some EXS (around 20%). If successful, you will gain a lot of momentum in GRD. -In GRD Vorpal state, by pressing D twice, you can convert all of your GRD into EXS gauge. -ou can boost your GRD by holding D. I have some questions for this button. 1) When they say Shield is activated by pressing D while blocking do they mean 4D or while in block stun press D? 2) Does the D button also act like BB's Drive button in being an extra attack or action? I know it has other functions tied to defense, movement and GRD/EXS bar but I'm wondering if 5D or j.D do anything. Other system questions: 1) Veil Off State only consumes your EXS meter and changes the EXS meter to a depleting bar. You still have your GRD and can gain GRD while in this state but can you extend your Veil Off State by doing a Chain Shift (provided that option is still available)? 2) It says "In GRD Vorpal state, by pressing D twice, you can convert all of your GRD into EXS gauge.", however, in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2uZxJOEh9U) at the 36 second mark Orie does a chain shift while being in GRD Vorpal state but has no GRD but there's a bar that depletes over time and she's continually gaining EXS meter (not associated to her attacks she's doing). Is it just automatically depleting her GRD that she's gaining in that time? or is it the meter gain dependent/not dependent on how much GRD or GRD Vorpal State (the timer around the white circle) you had prior to Chain Shift? If the answer to system mechanics question 1 is a yes, then I think there's a possibility of ToD combos (or just extremely high damage combos) utilizing both Veil Off and Chain Shifts. Probably something like Veil Off state combo into EXS moves, Chain Shift, continue the combo into Infinite Verse.

While that may be true, I have a feeling that said combos would be wildly impractical--too much so for competitive play.
Killey Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 While that may be true, I have a feeling that said combos would be wildly impractical--too much so for competitive play. From a system mechanics perspective I would think only damage and hit stun scaling (also if Chain Shift is not possible within Veil Off) would make this not work/practical. From a competitive match play standpoint I don't think it would be that far fetched at all. Probably the equivalent of a OMB combo in Persona 4 with some of the associated meta gaming with it.
Agni Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Even then, I highly doubt they'd let you do something as stupidly broken as Chain Shift while in Veil Off.
ludwig van Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I'm just paying a visit to say: Gordeau looks hype. :X Definitely going to import this when it gets a console release.
Shazam Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I'm just paying a visit to say: Gordeau looks hype. :X Definitely going to import this when it gets a console release. God, yes he does. I will likely import this too because this game looks amazing and I want to import something/show support. Seth all day though :x
Keo-bas Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 What the people need to understand is that just because is a comeback mechanic, it doesn't necessarily means that is automatically bad, also many people likes to forget that many of their beloved old games made on the good old days also happen to have comeback mechanics in them. Just because one company or one game has a bad implementation, it doesn't make it a bad idea. Another thing, i recommend to anyone to have their own opinion, is not a bad thing to see what other people think, but in the end try to have one of your own, and not just follow what other thinks., plus, just because someone that has some notoriety on his/her side says something, it not necessarily means that he is right. More importantly, try to inform yourself the more you know, the better chances for you to make an educated opinion. Soo much truth in these words.
Button Masher Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 There's a countdown on the official website being delivered by a different character each day. Yesterday was Hyde, and today is Linne.
TheTZA Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I just watched some of the SBO tournament. No Gordeau??
Tachyons Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 There's a countdown on the official website being delivered by a different character each day. Yesterday was Hyde, and today is Linne. I don't see it, or hear it. What am I supposed to look out for?
SoWL Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I don't see it, or hear it. What am I supposed to look out for? Check the main page, there should be a button with a number and a chibi-version of a character (it's Waldstein today). Speaking of which, what are they going to do on the last two days? The last day is probably going to feature everyone, but doing the same thing before that won't cut it.
SolxBaiken Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 2nd to last day - all guys last day - all girls duh = w=
MetalMaelstrom Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 The button doesn't show up on chrome. Lame.
caiooa Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 The button doesn't show up on chrome. Lame. It shows here, and i'm using chrome http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/4491/semttulonbq.png try using crl+f5
Ryudrake Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 2nd to last day - all guys last day - all girls duh = w= Does that mean a giant button or a regular sized button with very very small art?
caiooa Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) " Harada Ourei ...ちがう ちがう" it wasn't a good joke, but orie voice was cute. https://twitter.com/miracledome/status/244421339639840770 http://www.4gamer.net/games/128/G012841/20120912087/ 2 tournaments for unib are beeing planned for 22 and 23. One is going to be part of the "hydra gp", a series of tourneys already helded for years for melty blood and touhou by Ecole (the publishers of melty blood). The other is going to be helded by a arcade from Shizuoka. https://twitter.com/babamikado/status/245344028911075328 And the arcade "Mikado" is acquiring unib arcades too.

BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 So anime, I love it :3 Also ArcSys is better at advertising than Ecole, but doesn't really matter since Ecole's Under Night characters are all dope for the most part.
Hecatom Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 So anime, I love it :3 Also ArcSys is better at advertising than Ecole, but doesn't really matter since Ecole's Under Night characters are all dope for the most part. Ecole is only the publisher
BladeOfJustice7 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Oh sorry, Ecole and French Bread always had me confused. Thanks for the clarification heca
SoWL Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Huh, those small character bios actually make more sense than any other Engrish that was seen in the game so far. Apparently, Merkava resembles Arakune even in his backstory, except that he's still sane. As for the song, Blood Drain is still the best.
Starlight777 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 She has evil laughs. That cements it, Hilda and Carmine are my favorites. Can't wait until Hilda is more than the totally obvious sub-boss.
Chainsaw Guitar Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) lmao @ Gordeau's portrait blocking out most of his gameplay footage. EDIT: I just noticed the character text. "She serves. An innocent piece slumbers through the perpetual. As a marionette without free will. The master she never saw. The only order deeply engraved in her soul. Tonight, the blind marionette waddles toward the sound of clapping hands. The end of the peace is the beginning of the battle. To exterminate immortals." Oh god I'm dying.

Agni Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Probably the most you'll see of Hilda until release/unlock I noticed that "DIVIDE!" seperated the cast member intros. Is is it possible that it was there for a reason? Perhaps splitting things into Heroes and Antagonists? But that makes things...bizzare. Going by that, Carline and Gordeau are good, while Yuzu is bad? Maybe I'm overanalyzing things...
