[CP] News & Gameplay Discussion (Old)

[Sakaku]

Does that mean they work like Vergil's sword super in Marvel (Spiral Swords>Blistering Swords), so they will be inescapable in the sense that you will be forced to block the explosion?

Probably. Seems to be more for zoning/approaching than for comboing. Some guy also posted that hitstun (and I suppose blockstun too) is pretty much non existent, so it could really be like Vergil's blistering swords. And I guess they disappear when Rachel blocks/gets hit, but that's not confirmed so far. Would be stupid if it didn't, first George and now this.

Thanks Isuna for the videos, gonna watch them now.

You can see Bullet do her crush trigger at around 30 seconds, and Noels at 1:23. Thanks for the videos Isuna!

Got some better footage today, but I think Im heading home now. Got school tomorrow.

[Chaoschao222]

Damn, Noel's 2D really makes a huge arc now, and her Crush Trigger looks coo'~

Thanks for the vids, Isuna.

[pktazn]

Thank you very much for all trouble you're going through to get us some footage Isuna.

[SoWL]

Shaky camrips is about as good as we could hope for the loketest vids, so I'd like to thank you for your efforts, too! It's great to have some Bullet footage; too bad that neither of those supers hit.

So, I guess it got overshadowed, but what about that Amane hotness? I updated the post with some new info, along with a couple of facts about Azrael:

I really like how Amane's gameplay revolves around his drill. Summon a drill, and if it hits your opponent, go for a combo. If the enemy blocks it, its blockstun is long enough to go for some teleport shenanigans. If for some reason the enemy is too far from the drill, pull them closer with the C moves. If I were playing SF, I'd compare him to Dhalsim.

where do i can find the videos of the local test?

and thanks for the videos isuna

What could they possibly add to Netplay besides simply improving the netcode?

Maybe letting us make impromptu tournies might be kinda cool.

on the top of my head, they can add rollback netcode

now i hope that they add the possibility of uploading your replays to youtube (though everyone would be able to see the fraud that i am )

So the article on Famitsu.com gives us (tiny, as usual) but clean looks at the new stages, clean character art for Noel and the newcomers, and briefly goes over some of the new features.

Also...it only mentions the Playstation 3 for home conversion, in several significant locations. Sayonara X-tan

[WolfCrimson]

Oh my God, those stages look beautiful...

Also: no Xbox360 version? That's impossible.

[SolxBaiken]

It's only impossible internationally, it's actually very and completely feasible in Japan, as only 360 exclusives ever significantly, and system sales have always been laughable.

It's just weird they would wait this long to "optimize" the region, if this is indeed the case. If (erm, WHEN) the game is announced for NA and EU, I'm confident that a 360 counterpart will exist.

[SoWL]

I see a stage with the Murakumo Units graveyard. That's where Lambda was salvaged from, right? Looks excellent.

Also, I the way they picked the characters to fight against the new ones. Amane fights against Bang (a fellow Japanesque character), Azrael fights against Valk (a badass grandpa), and Bullet rubs Tager's face into the floor.

a scenario has a number of coffins with the emblem of the black beast.

The stage resembles the cauldron ...

I would very much appreciate the coffins were connected with the previous units Murakumo, I would like even more if this scenario were owned by Nu-13.

Just noticed there's an NOL officer in the station, he must be pretty terrible at his job to see several renegades fighting and not doing anything about it :s

[WolfCrimson]

Lol

So I noticed something about Azrael: He's wearing an all-white uniform (even though he's not wearing it properly). Could he be... a Wing of Justice?

Edit: Actually ignore what I said, his clothes seem too ... Errr... not uniform-like. Eg. His pants are half black, half white.

I was against how bright the UI was before but... in these new screenshots it looks sexy as hell! Even more enthusiastic about this now!

[ZenTzen]

ps3 development being mentioned doesnt mean 360 version wont appear as well

[Arc Raizen]

Isuna, you are amazing for getting this footage. Noel's changes are looking pretty good (and balanced) right now, but I wish there was less of her (not your fault). If you manage to catch any Makoto footage you will become my favorite person on for the week.

Would YOU want to try to deal with a bunch of near-psychotic superhumans who could kill you in a second?

He could at least call it in ; -;

Everyone's excited about her new sexy looks. ; )

Got one video with Makoto, so sleep assured.

Apparently my smart-ass laptop failed its only mission to continue upload while I was gone, but the three last day 1 videos should be up now.

I have 13 supposedly better videos from today, day 3, have no idea how many hours it will take but, I took a chance and filmed correctly so it won't need any rotating this time.

I did get a really supicious staff member on me, which is why in one of the videos I will suddenly turn the camera down. Didn't wanna get thrown out. :|

I have some problem with my memory card, so I think there might be one more video on it I cannot read at the moment. But I guess it will take it sweet time to upload these 13 vidoes. XD

Edit: Take note to the "Cancel Over Drive" in the Bullet mirror. I guess we can cancel almost anything to Overdrive?

I really need to sleep now so, if it stops uploading I won't know about it. It seems to be going fine right now but, who knows what Mr. Netbook does when I'm not looking.

Hmmm... do the characters have themes on the loketest? And what are their names if they do have one?

AND HOW DO THEY SOUND LIKE?

[WolfCrimson]

Thanks Isuna, these videos are really helpful. Can't really wait to see more uploaded.

[GEKKA]

Dem stages, dat versus screen, dat gameplay!

Hype levels rising!

Thanks for the videos

[YoYoCheese]

Thanks Isuna, you're awesome! :D

[DragonLordZ]

Isuna, these videos are amazing, you are amazing for uploading these.

Meanwhile, anyone see that one bit of FRKZ ground movement in the last Bang vid? It looked so fast!
