SoWL Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 tons of people Any source for that? Because all I've seen is some angry 2ch posts that do not really amount to anything.
TAI-X Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 ASB's sales and player activity dropped off quickly after release, even more so than the usual Japanese console release that makes most of its money in the first few days. It definitely suffered from UNIB Syndrome, where a lot of players dumped it after finding that the initial version was really broken, and didn't return when the patches finally made it more legit (and reduced/removed the energy restriction). Of course there were also a lot of casuals who bought it solely for the license and characters, and had no intentions of returning it because they didn't really care about the other stuff. The game certainly wasn't a failure.
SoWL Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Still can't see any source for that. I mean, it's not like it doesn't sound plausible, but frequent DLC (including free characters) and patches kinda made the game seem pretty lively until mid-December to me.
redsilversnake Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 too much generalization. Look at how many sega clubs opened in the last years. It's more of a shift from a lot of small arcade shops eveywhere to a little number of giant arcade shops. But it's true that small arcades, specially one's dedicated to older fg (like 3s, cvs2 or older 3D fg) are closing doors every week there. Small arcades are the obvious example (apparently, due to Nesica and Aime), but I've heard from people there that even the bigger ones are as dependent on random people playing crane machines and other front-room games as they are on their regulars. And even then, mobile games are apparently eating into their business as well. And new Sega Clubs opening may or may not be counterbalanced by Bandai Namco closing a bunch of their own locations. It is for a lot of games, like RPGs, action-adventure and Western titles. Not so much for fighters, because it's preferable to play those in the arcades. A lot of Japanese players who buy console ports of fighters only use them for practice/story mode and rarely play online, since they'd rather go to the arcade for that. Not really. Thanks to Japan having a great internet infrastructure and online play being free, a lot of Japanese arcade players will also play online quite a bit (to paraphrase one person there, "calling someone a netplayer isn't an insult, because everyone netplays"). Hell, when CP first came out on PS3, BB actually slowed down in some arcades. But yeah, basically, the arcade scene isn't struggling nearly as much as ours, but at the rate it's currently going, it will be.
Appledash- Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Rather than console gaming, isn't mobile gaming really big in Japan? Not for fighters though I guess. Whenever an fg gets a mobile port it usually seems like an afterthought. Sent from my RM-917_nam_usa_100 using Tapatalk
Koopa_Klawz Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Anyone know why Merkava didn't lose 100 EX after doing his GC? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y84urTu0a64#t=59m49s EDIT: Nvm, I think it uses GRD instead. Edited February 15, 2014 by Koopa_Klawz
Sourenga Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Because there's an alternative method to use the Guard Thrust. If you're in Vorpal state, you'll spend all your GRD to do the Guard Thrust. This way you also won't gain the GRD Break state.
Angel-tastic Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Greetings all. So how do you all feel about the balance between characters in this game? The reason I ask is because it seems like people from the arcade footage mostly use Carmine, Gordeau, Merkava, and Yuzuriha. I don't really know much about the gameplay system, so I'm not sure if that's because they're stronger than everyone else, easier to use, or simply more popular. I know I'd probably use either Merkava or Yuzuriha mostly because they look like fun to play as, but are these characters considered stronger than the others? Why is that?
fiendmaw Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Greetings all. Go to page 331 of this thread,DandyJ has a good write-up of the characters.
redsilversnake Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Go to page 331 of this thread,DandyJ has a good write-up of the characters. But there are only 85 pages in this thread... 40 posts per page, get on my level, scrub.
Balmung92 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Has there been any update on when the next Dev stream will be?

Meaning pretty much that they'll be able to talk about console port once Dengeki FC releases on arcades. Edited February 18, 2014 by Sourenga
fiendmaw Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 They're in crunch trying to get DFC out,they probably thought they could squeeze out some UNIB announcements,but that wasn't the case.
RurouniLoneWolf Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Latter half of March is a bit of a wait but hopefully it's still getting some work done on it in the mean time so this isn't an overall delay.

Yeah, well... call it odd, but I was sort of expecting a summer/fall date (baring slips), but we'll have to see. I kind of hope that with a console release, their is one or two more characters in the pipe.
Betto Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I kind of hope that with a console release, their is one or two more characters in the pipe. Well, there's still Nanase, the sword-wielding schoolgirl. She pretty much has a high chance of making it to console since Akatsuki stole her spot on the arcade version.
RifleAvenger Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I think they said they wouldn't be able to do it, but if they were to add another character I'd want to see Wagner. Story important (for what little that matters) given the number of characters with vendettas against her, and it'd be nice to have a 2nd Licht Kreis member.
Liminal18 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 llakb is streaming under night on twitch.
caiooa Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 they streamed freeplay like 4 hrs ago too, there was a lot of matches with the walldestein top http://ja.twitch.tv/llakb/b/505387883 btw, they always mantain the archives in twitch for some time, and later reupload it to nico douga.

Betto Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Akatsuki combos: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22944766 Frame rate of the video is very nice. Also, we got tons of 6C-> 236A/B loops and 214A loops lol
F. Wily Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Well, there's still Nanase, the sword-wielding schoolgirl. Save her, anyone but her.
fiendmaw Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 https://twitter.com/narita_ton/status/445888330232639488 Seems like there will be some kind of announcement after Over the World is done. I believe that's on the 21st,but I'm not sure.

I believe that's on the 21st,but I'm not sure. Hope will be a info for the Console port, now that Dengeki is finally released on Arcades they can return and focus in UNIBEL, tought.
