ArcSys said in the interview about the game that they'd been given freedom to pick characters based on who they'd think would make good movesets instead of who's most popular, so it's hard to say. That said, there's no way on this or any other planet that Sandalphon isn't in, especially since as an angel dude with weird wing swords he does have a decent moveset potential.

I kind of want Melissabelle (who fights with her hair) because if anyone intimately knows how to handle hair-fighting, it's the guys who've done Millia Rage for years

But there's honestly so many characters with cool fighting styles in Granblue, both orthodox and unorthodox

the comic books are pretty good and they aren't grimdark or anything, they just have stakes. The monsters-of-the-week are still really goofy when they show up.

I want to see a giant meteor crash into the stage only for Ghandagoza to punch the opponent through the meteor and out of the stratosphere for a Destroyed finish, that's my only real non-negotiable demand.

Anthuria would be cool to see how they'd do evade-heavy dance combat. If they wanted to do a puppet character, Orchid is right there. I also want to see some sort of Zodiacs team-based character.

UNIST is a really hard game for me to get into because it's made by the Melty Blood guys and superficially looks like it but in my limited experience it's fundamentally different in that you can't just do endless air jousts like in Melty and it's a much more ground-based game

Also Hyde and Linne are the shotoclones and are simple enough to play, and Nanase offers that fun low-thought hit things with giant sword experience would not be a bad place to start?

The guy who won evo last year made this:

UNIST has combo missions (and at the bottom of them, 5 trials that explain the character and their options) so it's very easy to just go through the cast and see who you find fun without looking up a google doc each time.

I can't find a definitive tier list for UNIST except Phonon is top and enkidu is bottom tier I think?

Seth/Vatista/Phonon/Wagner are always agreed to be the best, and Akatsuki/Mika/Enkidu/Carmine are the worst. Everyone else is pretty up to personal taste. Squish and Saikyo have a tier list though I don't know if anyone else does.

https://twitter.com/saikyo_enkidong/status/1041847276870750213

Though new players should keep in mind, Akatsuki won evo and Saikyo places top 5 at majors with Enkidu. So don't worry about tiers too much.

Akatsuki is far from bottom tier, I think people are still hung up on how he was in UNIEL when he just couldn't get in.

Enkidu lacks tools to reliably get in and Mika has pretty weak offence for her high risk playstyle, so those two are generally agreed to be the bottom 2 characters. UNIST is a very balanced game where the entire cast is viable, it's just that Mika and Enkidu struggle way more than anyone else against the rest of the roster.

The Squish tier list is pretty spot-on IMO (it lacks some nuance since e.g. having Akatsuki on the same tier as Carmine or Mika is misleading), but the important thing to note is that the difference between tiers A and B is pretty small, and the difference between tiers B and C boils down to "have any of the recurring good tournament players decided they like this character enough to main them."

Pick your UNI main because you like their look/playstyle, not because of tiers.

(Just be prepared for a hard time if you pick Yuzu as a new player.)

Right, and he doesn't think Akatsuki is trash tier either. I'm just disagreeing with the people who think Akatsuki is in the same ballpark as Enkidu.

Based on the weapons displayed in the logo this was the list established after the reveal:



No idea how many extras that allows for.

This, got the game a week ago and Picked Enkidu purely because he's a buff martial artist with good looking moves. I regret nothing and I don't feel like he's garbage despite being bottom tier.

I think Saikyo's tier list having a range of S->A highlights how tiers works in UNIST as opposed to some tier lists I've seen for games like BBCF where the tier list goes from S->C. There's a gap in UNIST but it doesn't seem to be that disparate and feels more like how Vampire Savior tiers work, as opposed to a character like Bullet being bottom tier in BBCF and just being horrible.

the only time enkidu really feels bottom tier is when hes trying to get in on vatista or yuzuriha. he plays totally fine in matches where the other person has to come to him as much as he has to go to them

He got some buffs in ST. I find him really fun. He doesn't have fullscreen normals but you can sail forward a good distance while blocking in unist, plus he turns into a complete loving rear end in a top hat once you get into about 5B range. He can pretty easily convert ground hits into 6C launch/relaunch for solid damage and a knockdown. He also has a strong air throw that you can convert into a full combo.

I also played a bit of Phonon and Wagner, they're both really good characters, but they didn't click with me as much.

Just cosmetic, like BB Hood's buterflies. You want Orie or Chaos is you want a controllable partner.

A bit of a strange question, but given the discussion on UNIST, I'd thought I'd ask here.

Is anyone here aware of Glove on Fight 2: Gleam of Force? It's a doujin fighter that French Bread made in 2008 and only sold at one comiket for some reason. It's not on Steam and probably never will be because French Bread seems to have forgotten it exists, but is there any sort of online community for it at all? I guess the better question is, does anyone even play it?

To be clear, I'm asking because I've fought the CPUs to death at this point, and GoF is essentially the only fighting game that doesn't skill-gate me out of playing it. But it seems like I'm pretty much the only one who plays it anymore, although hopefully I'm wrong.
