Agni

I am completely unashamed to say I that picked up Plat because she was a magical loli. But I ended up liking how she played so it's all good. With Lambda, it was because I had found myself interested in Nu, especially her drive (not because I could mash DDDDDDDDDDDD all day but because I liked the concept) back in the CT days but I didn't really get the time to play her. So when I got CSE I dedicated myself to learning Lambda. Plus, you know....robo-girl, man.

Kagura's locked behind story mode. Ah hell. I love the BB story but for whatever reason I never got the true end in CSE. Well, given that there's only three really-big stories...it'll probably be easier since I won't have to constantly replay them to get all the different endings.

You never get things right on the first try. Let's hope that the problems are fixable without redoing the whole damn system, I like some of the ideas this game has.

WHat they simply need to do is figure out what the hell in the system is causing these ridiculously long combos to be viable. From what I've seen the main problem is that Veil Off seems to make hitstun decay so slowly that you can just loop someone to death all day long. And it seems that VO (haven't seen the game in a while, correct me while I'm wrong) can be done AGAIN after already being in it, and it's just a vicious cycle. Seriously, where the hell is the hitstun decay?

To anyone getting shitty FPS--try setting the game to full-screen and cutting the FPS in half (it's in the config menu). For some reason this makes it run a hell of a lot faster.

Argh, I'm getting like 20 FPS on this shit comp of mine. Anyone have a translation of the config menu? Highly doubt I can do anything but might as well be good to know. Also this game is wierd as fuck. I went into training and started mashing with Koishi to get a feel and...sometimes she just does random shit for no reason. What.

...And SF and Mahvel jackasses are not going to play it anyway so you're wasting your time. Look for people who don't mind or *gasp* LIKE the anime-asthetics instead. I'm not one for scripture, but as the Bible says: Preach the word but if they aren't receptive to it, shake the dust off your coat and bail.

Uh, bro. BB is as anime as it possibly can get. Like, it'd be damn near impossible for BB to get even more anime. Stop giving a shit what dumbass Street Fighter and Mahvel players think about you and play the game.

Christ almighty calm down. GG isn't gonna be dumbed down and BB is seriously not "dumbed down" in the first place. It's simpler. I'm pretty Xrd will have FRCs, slashbacks, JI's, the tension system, and all that other jazz that seperates GG from other FGs. Calm down. Daisuke is just speaking good old PR bullshit that's completely vacous in the end and exists solely to appease the investors. All devs do it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope_fallacy A happening does not imply that B will happen. And: A game is not good because it's hard to play unless that difficulty has an actual purpose existing. GG is not good because of how hard it is but because it's a finely crafted and highly honed FG. The only reason people prop up difficult systems is because they feel the need to flaunt their "superiority" to other games because they mastered the controls. Chess would not be better if the pieces attacked you while you played. At the top level, difficulty is moot anyway, so why does it matter?

I have no idea why everyone dislikes the Extend one so much. It's good in my eyes (though Shinsou kicks its ass).

Oh god, if that's possible, then the models could be ported to other PC games... I'm now imagining playing GTAV with the player characters replaced with GG chars. It's pure gold. Hell you could replace the peds with them too...I don't know who I'm gonna replace the cops with. Hope this isn't too off-topic.

Ah, damn, NOW I just realized that 3D models also means they can have different costumes, not just different palettes for characters. Sweeet. But yeah I really wanna see some gameplay, we know what to expect, really, but I wanna see the game in action with the HUD and stuff. Man, ArcSys is on a roll now.

I can't believe I didn't realize this, but if they're using 3D models...that means that there can actually be legit cutscenes for the storymode instead of VN style (though GG told its story in a weird way). Pretty cool but if they do actually have a story mode they'll probably still go VN style. Ah damn, now I wanna see how all the other characters are. Waitin's gonna be hard...I'm definitely hype for this. Also if those cutscenes in the trailer are actually in-game renders...holy shit. They look like 2D animation a lot yet it's still 3D. This game looks really damn good.

P4 was a special case, really. It was before Sentai started slipping and it was an adaption of an INSANELY popular RPG in both Japan and the US. The thing is, their recent dubs have been...lackluster, to say the least. Fucking Stephen Foster... Still gotta get someone to release it though. Unless they plan on doing that themselves...?

Okay, so about the actual game: I'm liking the look as of now. It's more efficient and to be honest--it looks cool. Like, sometimes it's hard to tell it's 3D, because they really used the cell-shading well. This looks like it could be quite good. Stages will have to be designed so that lighting doesn't fuck up the viewpoint though.

Funi DOES outsource if the source material is insanely popular but don't count on it. The real problem is that they're the best for a quality release. Sentai would probably get the original cast, but their dubs are rushed to hell and they have tons of problems with their discs on release day. Aniplex would ensure that an extremely high quality release but it would cost and arm and a leg. And...actually, those three are about it. Shit. The JPN track will DEFINITELY use the same Seiyuu, the Japanese are crazy obsessed with keeping the same actor for a character in a franchise. Plus it's cheaper to hire them (Japanese seiyuu get paid less to work than American dubbers do--that's why they appear in so many anime at a time, they HAVE TO or they're gonna be starving) and Japan is small so they can all be brought to the studio quickly (never mind that almost all Seiyuu and recording studios are in Tokyo anyway)

Welp, that didn't happen. Why the hell do GG players feel the need to ghetto BB and its players off as if they'll "contaminate" GG? Jesus, the last thing we need is a broken fanbase, but quite a few are intent on doing that. Yeah, tell all BB players that they're playing a shitty game and that you guys play a game that's Just Better and then tell them that they should fuck off and never play GG because you don't want BB to "infect" the GG scene. That's really gonna help build a scene, guys. Totally.

Holy fuck. They're actually making a sequel instead of a glorified patch. I might actually play GG now that there's a new game. Also will this finally stop GG fans from shitting on BB out of some retarded and misguided belief that BB "killed" GG?

It is definitely dubstep. There's plenty of wubwub and use of bizarre distortion. It's just that unlike most dubstep it's good.

I think it would be cool if they used original themes made by Ishiwatari, but when really serious/epic moments happen they use the original game OST. That way using the original songs basically acts like a giant "SERIOUS/AWESOME SHIT IS BOUT TO HAPPEN" sign.

Fuuuuuck now I want Lambda back ;_;

If Lambda had a personality, I'd want it to be "Cute psycho Nu when she's around Ragna, but like that around everyone and not so psycho". I'd love her forever if that was true. ....Of course, that would make her a generic moeblob, but shaddup I like my moeblobs :V

Little early for that, but I agree. I hate how English licensors recast willy-nilly. This anime is gonna be the first time I hear the BB characters in Japanese, actually...it's gonna be wierd for a few episodes.

Aren't remixes\arrangements allowed under fair use? Just wondering.
