I wish I could tear him apart!
This is 100% what I hoped they were going to do with K9999, if they were ever going to do anything. All he needed was new hair, more focus on fire abilities, new voice actor, and a change in the look of that one super and he's good to show up again. Nothing about Tetsuo was intrinsic to his character.

My thoughts on Central Fiction so far, after going in totally blind to play it vs an equally clueless friend last night.

Arc Sys is saving fighting games

But actually though

Also SNK bringing K9999 back from the dead is ACTUALLY shattering expectations, holy loving poo poo

I dig how Kronen looks like a K9999 that's been rogue for a while, with grown out hair and the glasses

Doesn't say anything about rollback :argh:
I think they said a while ago that to patch it into GBVS (and presumably and P4A) they'd need the actual IP holders to OK it.

Bring back all the fighting game characters with rights issues! Have Bandai-Namco to introduce a reptilian giant with laser weapon constructs. Have a cartoony Japanese nerd playable in the next Capcom fighter.

BBCF update, I spent some time working on the other character I'm interested in Litchi, and then 2 hours had passed in training mode lol

On the plus side, I got my bnb that forms the basis of max damage combos down, including the staff placement and jumping off the staff for juggles

Litchi is so fun, especially once you get them into the corner and get to start your mixes. She's not easy, and I'm only scratching the surface, but she really feels more like the character for me in that regard. Dang I'm glad they put rollback into this game because I'd forgotten how great blazblue is

It might actually be K9999 proper on canon

https://twitter.com/empe0317/status/1469156082312712192?t=rr3WVQ9ORepX-Vtt5_kzUw&s=19

Guy Incognito is wearing a worn gauntlet exactly like the one K9999 had on 02, while K' is wearing a new gauntlet. So presumably K9999 doesn't have any NESTS pals who can fix him up with a new one? (It would also explain why they had him fight Kyo and not K')

the arcsys games all have really similar design philosophies, and it's really not one i care for much even in series i've historically enjoyed

battle for the grid owns, though. it's the first game i've played where the simplified / casual-friendly aspects and the more "pure" aspects of it as a fighting game actually feel like a smart compromise instead of designers just throwing away good ideas for no reason to please some imaginary ideal platonic scrub

There's no need to rush to be an adult.


I honestly do not know how the gently caress ArcSys does it. Just this year we got Rollback for +R, Strive and the DLCs, DnF, Rollback for BBCF and BBTAG, and now P4AU on Steam so I can get back to loving around with Naoto and Adachi only to get crushed by my wife's Mitsuru. That's on top of continued DBFZ and Granblue support through DLCs and events.

I really hope that their office is doing okay. This level of output is kinda insane and given how much crunch is an issue in the gaming scene, I hope they are treating their teams well.

the rollback for +R was an american team, DnF is mostly being made by 8ing, BBGTAG and BB almost certainly have the same foundational engine so its extremely likely that adding rollback to one made adding rollback to the other much more trivial and its also the same american team that did +R im pretty sure, and p4u is just being ported. most of this is a small teams worth of work for arcsys presumably.

One Nation, Under God.
A lot of those games/updates are stuff that can be and probably was outsourced.

Even DNF Duel is being made with 8ing, and it seems like Arc might be leaving a lot of the work to them.

+R was IIRC an independent programmer making a fan rollback patch who Arcsys hired to do it 'legit'.

I have felt overwhelmed by it. When there was mostly just Xrd and fightcade it was fun to play, but now there's so many new games that aren't really the style I like, and the old games feel very daunting to work through the knowledge gap. Xrd felt like a Goldilocks game and it's just irrelevant now in both directions. I'm too tired to pick up anything else that I don't already know pretty well. It's a weird place to be.

Another factor in Arcsys' increased output is they, like, quadrupled their size in the post-Xrd years.

I've been liking Bullet and Mu in CF, so I've got both ends of the gameplay style spectrum covered (poorly). Air combos are definitely taking time to get used to, because the timing for the high jump cancel and initial hits has to be really fast, but the second jump cancel is always later than I expect it to be.

theyve teased a new blazblue a couple of times, and, well, the rollback to central fiction and cross tag kinda adds likelihood to that

1) What does BBCF have in terms of characters with fast movement speed and fast long range buttons? Nine has great long range buttons and she's fun to play but I've been aching to play someone like Vega.

2) Does anyone in BBCF have a forward moving grab that puts the opponent into the corner and/or a grounded anti-air grab?

Jubei has more Vega-esque movement but his normals are a bit stubbier, though he has sword moves that have pretty good reach. Mai has reach and movement but her normals are more average speed than fast, though they're still pretty fast for how much reach they have.

I suck at playing her but I love popping her magic on people and flooding the screen with it. When I fought her in arcade mode I kept losing to all the magic because I sucked and that's when I realized I should main her

The entire reason I'm into Taokaka is she can do Vega's wall leaping dive shenanigans and cancel them into ten billion movement options

Am I missing something or wasn’t the VF 5 Yakuza DLC supposed to add something in the realm of 650+ customization items?

Doesn’t feel like there’s too much more stuff there than before. Hell I recall the PS360 version having shitloads of options compared to this.

What’s the deal?

The arcade game had a jillion customization options and those were ported alongside the game when Final Showdown first came to consoles. Ultimate Showdown I’d have to assume they couldn’t/didn’t wanna remodel every single object in the new engine

Did EVO 2022 get cancelled??? I know that smaller one did earlier this year after the regional online tourneys happened.
