Akatsuki Denkou Senki

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

The game is simple enough that it wouldn't be that hard to get balanced out. I don't know if I'd play it seriously, but it's a very fun game. I think half the reason it's fun is because of how fast it plays... it really doesn't let up at all. Combos are pretty short too so they don't break up the flow.

yeah, i agree, they really made the biggest balancing effort i think which is visible with Akatsuki as a character. they made it so he can't just do random j.B loops anymore because you can't do two j.B's in one jump, rather you can do j.A>j.B which is still pretty good but a lot more unsafe and punishable...he used to basically be Sol or 3S Ken level insane where he always had super stocks because he never had to fear being countered with his insane j.B spam and 6B counterhit potential.....now it seems like damage proration has really toned him down, although he is still really good...

for instance he can do stuff like:

2A 2A 2A 5B 6C, j.A>j.B (land) rej.A>j.B xx 214C ( or near corners, 22C while they're falling, super canceled into 22B+C if you have meter.....or into A+B+C super if you have full meter, good damage )

this leaves them in or near the corner, where you can start zoning with his big ass Urien-like fireball and tech trap with 6B ( and maybe go for 2B>6C followup ), come in with a tick throw, or on wakeup do a quick hop into 2C ( the dive punch ) and combo off of it

this game does 3S soooo much better than 3S does -_-;

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

Yeah. Your probably aware of his loops in the corner too.. ... 6C, B 214A, B 214A, B 236B (can finish with 236BC or ABC) If the rest of the cast is as fun as Aka and Elektro are, this game is solid.

Hey guys...you ever tried out internet play option?

[woof]

i've tried netplay with this and it's actually pretty good [most of the time] despite the sort of generic cast i really really like the presentation in this :7)

[Nekich]

Mindblowing game. At least, the trial is. And the full version is nowhere to be found. Oh, the tragedy... +(

[woof]

MAN this game is cool

more people need to pick it up, i dont care if it only has 4 characters/is a trial, this game is dope

[Nekich]

ABSOLUTELY. It's like having an old skool game with hi-res sprites and airthrows. (what an informative post)

[woof]

#blitzkampf on efnet for comp by the way!!!! :7)

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

[Nekich]

[AyaImmortal]

awesome

:toot: Anyone know what the deal with 2v2 mode is? Is it setup something like QoH99?

[Nekich]

I remember that thing was (sort of) in Akatsuki Shisei Ichigou...can't clearly describe it though. A broken version of KoF2001 team system coupled with Isuka - like, one char as AI, and three controlled by me - all of them in the field. Whenever i pressed an attack button all 3 would punch. I believe my triplets shared one health gauge and took damage altogether... Never really looked into it. But i do wonder what the Story Mode will be about.

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

Considering there is no 'turn' button and there is support for 4 player inputs, I'm guessing it will be very similar to QoH99.

[Nekich]

there's a bunch of new tiny screenshots on the website. the game looks weirder and weirder with every update. me likes that.

[AyaImmortal]

Uh oh.... ITS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!

[Nekich]
