Akatsuki Denkou Senki

[woof]

hot damn!

[H-F Blade]

I wonder if he'll have different voice samples.

I don't know if anyone posted it yet, but the wiki for this game is here: http://akatsuki.mizuumi.net/index.php/Main_Page

there's a Blitztank vs Adler video there.

edit: so, yeah, Adler = Elektrosoldat in appearance and sound. But his fireball acts differently (doesn't travel fullscreen) and EX version is a huge purple orb that slo-o-owly moves forward. And his anti-air has a sort of auto(?) divekick followup.

[H-F Blade]

Adler's voice samples are like Soldat's only deeper it seems. It kinda looks like they changed the graphics on Soldat's EX fireball as well.

[woof]

DAMN id play adler if only for that sweet EX fireball

[H-F Blade]

I really want this next version to come out soon. ;_; Has anyone ripped the soundtrack yet? :X

[Nekich]

and there we have it, in all of its 32meg glory.

http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~subtle/

new stuff:

-New character Adler, available after clearing the Arcade mode (btw, the guy has a zombie-like stance and a new bgm track)

-New Helheim Battle mode, where you fight the strongest CPU, Sugoroku also gets this difficulty

-SS Matching Web mode, a lobby for online game (dig the game manual for more details)

-Demonstration option added to Display Setting (turns Demo Loop on and off)

-Color Edit added to Options (saves the edit as Color EX)

-New "move" settings for dummy in Practce mode - "1 Hit Guard" and "Random Guard"

-Added Information display to Practice mode (shows detailed info on moves and so on)

-Added Pad Display to Practice mode (shows the current input)

-By pressing F2 during a replay, inputs will be shown

-Improved online code? (something about "battle signal" quality being improved)

-CPU was improved (more active now)

I generally suck at getting what's what when it comes to balance changes, but i'll try to translate those.

[H-F Blade]

SWEET! Gonna try this out right now.

[woof]

netplay is definitely better cant get that SS matchin web to work tho

[Nekich]

i like it how you can have 3 EX fireballs on screen at once...

[H-F Blade]

His stance is much like one of Bryan Fury's winposes. But anyway, I wasn't liking him when I first tried him out but the more I fiddle around with him he the more fun I have. <.<

[Nekich]

The move info display in Practice is kewl - it allowed to take a move that does 1000 damage on Akatsuki and then hit every character with it, thus "calculating" their armor ratio. That info's in Wiki now, Introduction part of each character. ps.Adler's bgm is epic. pps.i think i'll leave translating balance changes to someone with more knowledge on jp fighting terminology - i can't understand a thing. =(

[AyaImmortal]

how does the match making work?

[Nekich]

More people should contribute to the Wiki. It's in need of strategy and that kinda of data. So far i only see H-F Blade writing stuff. More blood is required.

[H-F Blade]

Yeah, I know there are quite a few people who play the game regularly. :\ I just think that they didn't know about the wiki for quite a while. So far I think the formatting for the character pages is working out. I ripped the soundtrack will be uploading it later today.

[Nekich]

I ripped the soundtrack will be uploading it later today.

you win

[Necrosis]

I'm the one writing shit on Sai, Sugoroku, etc. I also threw in a bit for Mycale, Murakumo, and I think I corrected a few mistakes. With this new version, they seem to have made the stuff I put up for Sai not work, but I put in what I am currently doing. I've been meaning to get damage numbers but I am hella lazy and can't even do half of the stuff I'm putting in there because I suck on a keyboard. I also agree with H-F Blade winning. Adler's song too, correct?

[Nekich]

I've been meaning to get damage numbers

I don't think that's necessary ATM - the numbers are different for every character, because of a different armor ratio they have. Though maybe damage values against Akatsuki would do.

So i currently write move descriptions and translations (there's no one else to do those, i guess .( )

[H-F Blade]

Yes, Adler's song is included. I ripped the other tracks a couple of days ago but didn't get the chance to upload. Thankfully his track is included in a separate bgm file which made it really easy. It should be finished uploading pretty soon.

Color edit is a lot of fun. For Aka, I wish his hair color didn't spill into his pants. :\

Does anyone else think there should be a media page on the wiki too? Youtube user "Blitzkampf" has all if not most of the ko-hatsu match videos up until this point. For the wiki I'm just mainly filling in sections randomly. I had an idea for putting up a flow chart, graph, or some other visual representation for which normals can chain into what moves considering that it's different for almost all the characters.

Hopefully the main website will have an image for Adler's movelist just like they did with the other characters.

EDIT: OST finished uploading. Download here.

Sorry if it's not perfect because I know there's some tracks that have a stray sound at the very start if you listen very closely. But let me know what you think.

[Rithli]

I've been playing against several people in the mizuumi irc channel, and I have to say the newly updated netplay is pretty good. I've been getting decent lag even from people on the opposite coast. We got the Matchmaking configurations figured out and it should be posted on the wiki pretty soon. It seems like it's more or less like the Nintendo DS Friend Codes. I'm thinking people should post their matchmaking codes up on the wiki as well. Though, it looks like it needs updates, as some of the online players won't show up as being online. Also, I'm a bit curious if any of the characters received any boosts/nerfs? So far, it doesn't seem like the existing characters got any significant changes.

[H-F Blade]

I'm curious to know of any balance fixes as well. afaik Akatsuki still does pretty much the same damage as before.

[Nekich]

there's a handful of changes listed in the manual. i know for sure that Akatsuki's air fireball invincibility got decreased, and E-Soldat's anti-air recieved hitbox increase from the back (or something like that). Well, then my brains melted. I also suspect that Wei's moves are in chinese ._. At least his name is.

[Nekich]

Ok. A double post. I've actually tried it. Take this with a grain of salt, as some things may be incorrect, though i hope most stuff reflects real changes.

1.General Changes

-changed unability to guard jump-in motion (jump-in attacks?)

-characters, guard crushed in air, now, upon landing, are vulnerable for 60F now

-changed so that if wakeup throw's invincibility puts out reflector it is cleared (i don't get it...)

2.Character Specific Changes

Akatsuki:

-unificated so that invincibility for 22 move lasts until attack frames start

-EX 236 invincibility -2F, aerial EX 236 invincibility -5F

-damage of 6C reduced by 100pts, forward momentum was reduced, startup +1F, vulnerability +2F

-damage of 4C reduced by 100pts, startup +3F

-shortened the delay for shooting normals (?)

-changed so that it's no longer possible to guard back (?) during 5A, 5B, 214 and 22 moves

-no more partial invincibility of [2]8 move, damage reduced by 200pts

-ground throw startup +1F

-distance travelled after crouching parry was shortened

-EX [4]6 damage reduced

3.Bugfixes

-fixed a bug with Marilyn's level 3 super, where if she recieved damage after the first (?) hit, the opponent would freeze in hitstun motion and Marilyn kept moving (something like that)

-fixed a bug in Time Attack when even if the CPU was defeated, timer did not recover

-fixed a bug in Sugoroku where in encounters with several opponents judgment was incorrect in case of time up

-fixed a bug with Marilyn's triangle jump in Tag Mode

-fixed a bug in Tag versus mode, where command list in pause screen got screwed up

There. Hope i didn't mess up too much. :o

[H-F Blade]

I'm not sure if this was possible in the previous versions, but characters can now taunt? Just press A+C. I haven't been able to do that with Mycale, Wei, Blitztank, and Murakumo.

[Necrosis]

What... the FUCK. So... Akatsuki is barely changed (more invincibility for less damage doesn't seem too bad to me), and fucking SAI AND ANONYM GOT WORSE. WHAT THE FUCK. I demand that they stop making shit characters MORE shit than they already were. I'm trying to play them here, and I have to deal with them getting MORE shitty? They even nerfed Murakumo, and he wasn't worth nerfing at all. Honestly, I'm glad there seems to be some nerfing on Mycale, since she was top, but seriously... this is the worst. Just... wow. No changes to Blitztank at all, then? That's wonderful, since Blitztank is already the worst character in the game. Wasn't Soldat like A tier? So now he's better due to no downside to that, just upsides? I seriously hope there's a LOT being left out here. I don't want my god-awful characters made worse. On a side note, I've already changed my combos in the wiki to what I do in the new patch. Fuck 5C, I guess it was too good that we could do... less damage than we do now. Whatever.
