On Saturday, there was a sort of Akatasuki tourney in Japan.

Replays were posted (ttp://www.eonet.ne.jp/~subtle/ko-hatsu20070602.zip),

as well as a tourney diagramm (or what you people call it?): http://ko-hatsu.sakura.ne.jp/sblo_files/ko-hatsu/image/aktk-01.gif

Funny, but the winner is Fritz, 2nd is Kanae (sic!) and Mycale - 3rd.

No sign of top tier Akatsuki and Elektrosoldat...

[Zaido]

Yes Kanae!!!!

[4649]

just watched all the matches, good stuff there were some downright scary kanaes here, a lot of 2A-6C-2A-6C strings that fritz turtled and poked his way to victory :x i told people his 236B to throw on wakeup was stupidly good :/ seems like the only akatsuki player wasn't that good the really good elektrosoldats got owned by mycale / kanae, although, some good elektrosoldat corner juggles can someone cap the matches for youtube?

[Nekich]

btw, next match will be on 16th of June

Helheim mode confirmed - the most difficult mode they say (like Valhall difficulty wasn't enough already).

Also, i sense new characters...though i may be wrong. But there is a possibilty, at least.

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

The AI in this game is good enough already sheesh.

[Nekich]

Apparently not good enough for japanese players... =/ I already forsee my mizerable defeat in this mode. It says "brutal CPU with super reaction". Damn.

[woof]

"brutal CPU with super reaction"

could it be the return of OG VALHALLA MODE???????????

[4649]

CPU Ume Full Daigo-parry reflector into Akatsuki corner loop OH SHI~

[Zaido]

if you press a button they do soemthing ! o shii no way to land a hit in :o

[woof]

soldat will start doing walk forward flash kicks

[4649]

soldat will start doing walk forward flash kicks

i friggin lol'ed

but OH DEAR GOD if he does

[H-F Blade]

I dread the very thought of that. x_X

[Zaido]

it will be even scarrier if he does walk forward flash kick, and if he has meter and you block it he cancels to Electric ball super ><... for safe D:...

[Nekich]

soooo, the new character will be Adler...eh...

author plans to tweak the new version a bit more before releasing.

http://subtle.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/7/

looks like he'll be Elektrosoldat with Akatsuki's command inputs...

[woof]

i wonder what that qcb command would be

[Nekich]

i hope for some lazer action.

[Zaido]

o jeez adler gona be cheeze :O...

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

I hope he's at least like RoboKy and a real effort and not just a pallet swap with some modified moves.

[zer0kage]

So no new sprites. D: Aww I thought he has still some WIP characters when it was released.

[Nekich]

there are videos at http://www.ko-hatsu.com/ from the last champ (16.06)

[Nekich]

Misc stuff about the upcoming patch:

-random Practice mode thingies, like Input and Damage display and some additional dummy settings

-F2 button will...err...do something replay related (start it? stop it?)

And as the new patch is so big and kewl, author has plans on distributing a beta-version. It doesn't say, how it will be done.

[Nekich]

Unintentional triple post... is that bad?

If everything goes smoothly (that's his words), beta version of the next patch, which will upgrade A:BK to SP1 (or v1.1.0), shall be uploaded sometimes next week. About damn time.
