Are you on PS4? if so we can add each other and maybe get a few matches in if you like although fair warning I dont get to play much and im not exactly that good, Dreiko will testify to both points I am sureK-sha said:
. Still need to get back on Rev 2 as well.Im trying to (slowly) learn Kazumi on T7 and Baiken in Rev 2 anyway.
Ofc everyone here has now heard about the awesome looking new DBZ game by Arc coming out and Dissidia by Square and Team Ninja but there is also one called Blade Strangers which sorta came out of nowhere.
Looks nice in a basic kinda way if a little yanky but hopefully that is smoothed out. Apparently its made by the people who made Blade Arcus which is a game I actually quite like despite its obvious low budget and glaring omission of online play on PS4. It had a nice basic feel that reminded me of SF2 even if it was pretty unbalanced.
Talk about niche though lol still fair play more fighters is never a bad thing especially if its good. Still blows my mind we get games like this but cannot get a new Darkstalkers lol also where is that new Soul Calibur game and the updated UNIEL game?
I am interested in Blade Stranges. I just hope that PC port news is true. Also welcome back thread.
UNI is already confirmed for Ps3 and PS4 and I am super hyped. I am just really hoping for a PC port as well even if I still have my Ps3. As I said before it is super sad there will not likely be a new Darkstalkers. It gets even sadder when Capcom more or less lied about the sales figures since it sold super well for a game they stopped caring about ages ago and in that regard it is amazing that the game sold at all but because it did not get ridiculous sales expectations they said no. However I as a fan have come to terms with that fact. In addition Vampire Savior is my favourite fighting game period and while many games have come close the Capcom then is not the Capcom now and while they can make a decent game now and then I do not see a new Darkstalkers game living up to my number #1 fighting game. I do like seeing other people try though. People call Omen Of Sorrow a Darkstalkers clone even though its more of a Mortal Kombat clone. I would hope it turns out more Darkstalkers-like later. The Chainsaw Incident was an amazing looking attempt at a Darkstalkers clone and a 2D fighting game in general and sadly it got canceled after a long time of no news.Maximum Bert said:Are you on PS4? if so we can add each other and maybe get a few matches in if you like although fair warning I dont get to play much and im not exactly that good, Dreiko will testify to both points I am sureK-sha said:

blade strangers have an interesting art style. I'm not sure if I'd get it. it seems a little slow paced compared to what i'm used to, and doesn't have the rediculously stupid factor aquapazza had.
yes I am on ps4 but hardly play as well, because i work seasonal

Code of Princess was one of those games that was on my radar but I never ended up playing. As for Blade Arcus, that game was painfully slow. I'll reserve judgement until I get my hands on it but I'm not particularly hype just yet XD.
I only played the demo for Blade Arcus. Unlike a lot of weebs I actually have a firm disliking of Dragon Ball but I am willing to play Fighter Z as a fan of fighting games.
Haha, I grew up with original DB, watched it every weekend since like 1995, in Greek too! I guess it's an acquired taste.PurplePonyArcade said:

So yeah Ori is in Rivals Of Aether. Don't ask why she's there beyond every company and their mum needing to beat the whole guest character thing to death but I won't deny she looks cute in this animation style to and its a good a reason as any to play Rivals Of Aether again.

So, DBFZ seems to not have traditional grabs, but a mix of dust and grab, which is an unblockable hit that is called dragon rush, which you "tech" by using dragon rush back at them, and if you fail to tech it you get hit by a dust-like series of hits into an air combo.

So the demo for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is up on PS4 atm. Cant say I personally was that impressed with it but did not think it was terrible either. As it stands I will not be rushing out to buy it.
Also as people have said in other places what the hell have they done to Chunli lol it has to be the most garbage model and walking animation I have ever seen of her. I think the unpaid intern who worked on Kens face was ordered to give Chun a go this time.
All the Capcom models look really bad compared to their Marvel counterparts for some bizarre reason. Pre-orders are available now anyway and dont forget to get the deluxe version for the witheld content DLC.
For clarity I just want to say Chun looks the worse in this game the other Capcom models just look off while the Marvel ones are fine.

Fun games earlier K-sha. The more I use Answer in this game the more I wanna keep using him. I might be having a change of main if this keeps up XD.
Also, others should also feel free to hit me up for matches whenever, we used skype in this instance but a post here would work too as I check here periodically while online, typically during loading screens. Cheers~

Also I noticed in further gameplay that if you land one of those attacks, it's possible to force-tag your foe's char instead of going into that dust-like launch combo.PurplePonyArcade said:
It's definitely bizarre but I like that the "tech" animation is so hype and it definitely feels like a faithful action towards the source material while also keeping fighting games in mind. It's the kind of thing I like to see from a mentality aspect.
So after seeing a lot of reviews and gameplay for it, I went and got Tekken 7.
Pros:
+ Very Pretty
+ Interesting combo of 2D/3D Fighting
+ Enjoyable story
+ Lots of characters
Cons:
- Absolutely no tutorial
- AI can be pretty BS
- Eliza promotion isn't clear

Interesting I have the game and found I differ on some of your points. But I want to make it clear I do like the game.Paragon Fury said:
Not sure I would call it very pretty for a start now it does not look bad by a long stretch (unlike the original arcade release) but very pretty is a stretch personally I find Arcs games and DOA5 to be much prettier but each to their own and people can easily judge this for themselves.
Gameplay is standard for Tekken if you have played any Tekken then this wont feel much different which is not a bad thing many fighting series do this with small changes each new numbered entry. Strange how you say its an interesting combo of 2d/3d not sure what you mean by that its very much a traditional 3d fighter.
Enjoyable story well I cannot deny I got some enjoyment out of it but its pretty bottom barrel very badly written and goes almost nowhere especially since it was supposed to put an end to the Mishima saga which has been Tekkens story from the start and it absolutely does not do this. I was honestly dumbfounded by how clumsily some segments were strung together they were as bad as SFVs if not worse in that respect. I would say to anyone if story is a strong reason you are thinking of getting it do not bother. You want story get Revelator 2, Blazblue Central Fiction or especially Persona 4 Arena. You want something not as good but more cinematic get Injutice 2 or MK9.
No tutorial is an absolutely horrendous ommision the game does not even begin to help you learn it so better be good at figuring stuff out or/and watching/reading lots of guides.
AI is dumb as hell in treasure battle I got to Tekken god Prime rank by choosing Katarina and putting the X button on turbo. Took a few days while I was at work but yeah insta unlock everything in game and have loads of money to boot.
Eliza promo is pure BS and to many companies are doing it Netherealms (who along with capcom have the worst DLC practices for fighter imo) and Arc also do it although with Arc you can usually download the character for free within the first week whether you bought the game or not.
Would also say Arcade mode is garbage and has no intro and outro sequences which have been relegated to a separate story chapter mode which consists of one fight and not every character even has this.
Customisation is mostly trash but hey at least its there.
Gallery mode is great and a really nice nod to past Tekkens same with the PS4 jukebox mode.
Online as of this moment also function really well for me after the initial weeks problems so will see how long that lasts.
I think the game is solid but considering how long we have been waiting (came out in arcades 2 years ago I believe) and even in comparison to past Tekkens it feels a little anaemic in regards to content. it does not disappoint in the way SFV did i.e by missing even the lowest of expected bars for such a big name fighter but its hardly going to blow you away with its generosity.
Oh and DLC incoming luckily apparently ist only 2 more chararcters and one mode so they arent going full Netherealms/Capcom mode on that at least at the moment. The mode is rumoured to be Tekken bowling for anyone that cares.
I think they need more skirts for the girls.
Tekken is kind of over rated imo. I havent had time to learn it too much. I still think DOA5LR was a much better game, as far as 3d goes. its several years old, started on ps3, and still has better graphics imo. and of course better stage transitions since doa2, which tekken started to copy after T6 or TTT(not sure), but still can't seem to get right for some reason. the choir of finding matches online, and lack of modes were a joke, which even tekken fanboys agree on.
to me it's like comparing air dashers to SF. SF, slow, lacking, mostly boring but popular in numbers, and well known. most really good 2d fighting games, besides a maybe few by aksys, extremely small community but awesome.

The Marvel showing of characters is just sad. I get that they're trying to push the MCU characters, but seriously? No Spiderman, no Venom, no Wolverine, no Magneto, these are Marvel vs. Capcom staples. Hell, Spiderman and Wolverine were the face of Marvel in the 90s. And they're being replaced by what? Gamora and Black Panther? Who the hell cares.
Captain Marvel looks great as does Rocket, but in general I would say this is a pretty poor lineup.
Also, what the hell is with Captain America's neck?
Were the modelers working off of this art?
