I haven't but friends have. The competition level is very high, but people are super friendly if a little cliquey. Go tell Logan how much you love anime.

All i've seen of BBTag so far is Spookys broadcast/tournament a week ago: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/249412237
I'm not sure if that version was the final planned release or if they're still holding stuff back?

They mentioned that various moves have changed input locations and most but not all specific mechanics made it in, so i wonder how much experience/muscle memory transfers from having played the characters in their respective games. Granted, the tagging alone likely mixes things up significantly.

It has one fewer button than blazblue IIRC (or maybe the last button is reserved for tag stuff), so muscle memory is definitely gonna have to change at least somewhat.

You have to be grounded, but there's like a second long wait after you tag out if you wanna tag the other char back in, it's pretty immediate. Assists usable again immediately after the character leaves the screen, that's gonna make this game silly as hell.

Running alone required me to stop double tapping and holding for run, because now you just hold forward and run, there is no forward walk it's really weird. Also char combos are p much auto combos, but you can kinda chain in and out of light, it's p weird and took some getting used to.

As someone who's known their games for a few weeks, is this sentiment an actual thing? I have a couple scrubby complaints (their story anime writing is an obfuscated mess that's pretty hard to stomach and they can't design a satisfying AI boss to save their lives) but i imagine those don't matter much to most above my level. Is it mostly BBTAGs DLC structure being particularly egregious? Are they removing mechanics to broaden the appeal but it lowers the skill ceiling?

Their monthly streams are (besides the obvious raw PR aspect) kind of adorable.

She's actually top tier in UNIEL but she looks stupid, she's not fun to watch, and people who play her have names like "Loli Maiko". I remember some Top 8 somewhere that had like 2-3 Vatista's and the Vatista mirrors ran to time out every round and were immensely loving boring.

I guess I don't have much room to talk since I play Merkava and am slowly alienating every person I play this game with.

She's French Breads version of guile so they went gonzo on the design (she even has reverse charges...the maniacs!) so playing against Vatista is just so annoying, you can barely move or do anything, which is criminal in a game where the joy of having huge buttons is the whole appeal. check out a vatista mirror if you wanna see 3 time outs in a row.

I like playing against Merkava anyway though because at least he has the wavy tube man super and flies around like Ridley

I like dumb lame poo poo in ST because matches are 10 seconds long anyway so if you're gonna watch two people throw perfectly timed O. Sagat fireballs at each other 100 times in a row you can think Wow! Its pretty crazy that they're keeping this up...one wrong move and..oh no! He lost! and then the match continues. It can kinda drag in modern games which have 90 second+ round timers.

vatista kicks rear end and uni would be a worse game for not having someone that plays like her. like imagine thinking that a character with real rear end keepaway in tyool 2018 makes the game "boring" in the game where you spend half the round blocking no matter who you're fighting.

she's also got one of the best designed movelists in all of fighting games, everything she has just so clearly works in combination with everything else and makes her a lot more engaging than pretty much every single other charge character who's ever existed, just calling her anime guile or something is doing a real disservice to whatever artist put it all together.

A part of me wants to see Hilda in just to witness how dumb a Hilda/Nu team would be (all swords, full screen zoning all day).

But I really just want Yuzuriha. Wagner is cool too... but oddly hated at the last locals I went to because of her “bullshit sword and shield”

Everyone in UNIEL/UNIST has big beautiful buttons and it's fun as hell. I never really like the big body characters but Waldstein somehow clicked with me and I really like playing him. But Gordeau's interesting because he's got huge range with the scythe but wants to be in your face as all his harder hitting stuff is close range. The grid system is relatively easy to figure out and makes for some interesting interactions as sometimes the right move is to just block/not attack/press the powerup button full screen

But blocking in Under Night is fun, not boring

Anyway, they should have added hilda instead.

Nah, it's just this particular game that looks bad, and also that it's crossover without any of the stuff I'd want them to cross over with.

If posts like that can provide funding for a AAA game (albeit a very barebones one) than we need more of them to fund other, better projects.
