None of the games I listed died in Japan on day 1, I was referring to western FGC scene. DFC is also the worst game on that list which is quite impressive. I think its gameplay style of canned combos that lead directly into dumb oki is appealing to a lot of low-level japanese players, hence the popularity.

I used to be really good at Guilty Gear and mained Slayer but then Xrd made him pretty bad and now I get steamrolled a lot by other people.

UnderNight is surprisingly good which is weird cause I was all ready to hate it.

Real Talk you don't have to give a poo poo about tsukihime, melty blood is a Really Good and Fun fighting game even if you have no idea what the hell is going on with any of the characters (and in all reality most of the people who play it probably don't care either). Play it.

melty blood is a good fighting game

if you like tsukihime/nasuverse then it's also interesting for that but even outside of the thing it's based on it's just a Good Game

and i mean the characters are pretty self-evident. here's a dude with a knife. here's another dude with a knife. here's an androgynous woman with a knife. here's an electric vampire. here's a dude made out of bees.

Melty Blood is p good but the final revisions of it kinda sucked. gold airthrows don't feel properly implemented into the game, hime and seiten are awfully designed characters, a lot of the poorer characters never got the necessary changes to become either more interesting, more viable, or both. Everything else ecole has done since has been average to dogshit which doesn't give me much hope for when they go back to melty.

A while back somebody was asking about the Touhou fighters in the Touhou thread, so I might as well post my response.

BlitzBlast posted:

IaMP is a much better designed fighting game, with more emphasis on meter management, zoning, and actually doing combos. It is also a slow as hell game because if the players know what they are doing the game turns into "both sides spam bullets and graze like crazy, occasionally somebody manages to land a combo", but that is sort of the point.

SWR/HT is more exciting to watch, but in many ways it's a vastly inferior game. Character movesets were heavily trimmed down, the super meter is now tied to a randomized, finite resource, and basically all the new systems are awful. The randomized weather is loving stupid (stuff like "characters can fly twice as long" is alright, but stuff like Typhoon, Sandstorm, Diamond Dust or the original version of River Mist completely change the mechanics and can utterly gently caress you over), the randomized decks make character customization a crapshoot more than anything (want to use your new moves? Hope you draw the card!), the Limit system was supposed to be an anti-infinite system but actually ends up punishing combo-reliant characters because the damage scaling is ridiculous, and since bursts are also tied to your deck (for some infathomable reason), the only responses to pressure or corner combos is to get really good at blocking. Oh, and hope that it's not Sunshower because haha. Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but it is totally worse than IaMP in every single way.

Also it has the worst arrange of Night Falls in existence.

Fast forward to HM, and you're basically looking at two different games. The original version of HM was horrible. Like, they straight up released the first working version they had or something because half the game was missing, poo poo was slow as gently caress, and Koishi could crash the game at will. The full game, on the other hand, is basically SSB in the air. I wish I could say more about it, but I really can't because it also has the worst netplay in the series. It's actually kind of hilarious because for a while it worked perfectly (though it would eventually desync), but then Tasofro did something and now it's utterly worthless for anything non-local. I honestly don't know how they managed to fix and then break netplay, but Tasofro always aim to impress I guess.

The newest arcade revision for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax has a bunch of characters added that previously were only on consoles, including the hotly-anticipated Adachi, and the significantly-less-anticipated Marie. It'll probably be a little while before we see real expert play with any of them, but looking forward to it. Hopefully less ToD bullshit this version, also.

Significantly, Shadow-type characters can actually burst now, but can't activate frenzy unless they have that stocked. The threat of burst and the usage thereof should encourage safer combos when facing the Shadow-types, and games shouldn't devolve so frequently into the previously-linked Omoshiroi Kusoge shitshow. That said, I'm more or less OK with Liz having a ToD since it is expensive to pull off, burstable (the video was from many months ago, before Shadows had a burst) and she's otherwise a 'bad' character.

Mainly this post is an excuse to link the best track for the best character, though.

So instead of a patch here BBCP's getting a retail Extend edition. Coming to both PS4 and XB1 along with a PS3 version, with crossplay support between PS3/4. Lambda's returning and Celica with her Stand/robot/bodyguard is a new character. No mention of whether Kokonoe and Terumi will be in the game already or if you'll have to re-buy/download them.

Why do I like this stupid series?

Kokonoe and Terumi are definitely going to be included.

Mai Natsume & Cajun Faycott (from the fanservice-y Remix Heart manga) confirmed as new characters for BBCP Extend for the story mode, not playable as far as we know.
