The game takes a lot of time. It's not that it's a bad game- but longer sets are an issue today when you're competing with so many games for tournament time and viewership. It was an issue with SFxT, it was an issue with TTT2, and it'd be an issue with CvS2.

Heh, they had to give P-Groove something in EO. Good lord parries stunk in that game. It makes sense, since CvS2 had less animation frames than 3s so of course it would be more of a pain in the ass to parry

All this talk about CvS2 and 3S makes me hungry for older games D:
I'm still curious why you're migrating to pad.

I looked at the new Miata and then my friend said it looks like an Anime character would drive it. My heart and head hurts now. Words hurt friends.

Huh...how bout that. Hey Q, check out this list of mechanics I found in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax. Notice what I notice?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=173408376&postcount=17
This game actually sounds pretty legit.
Assists,cancels,alpha counters, jump cancels, character specific tools to change move properties, xfactor like tricks , KOF HD gauge style HD combos...fucking nuts.

There was an Xbox version!? I remember EO but I don't remember a native Xbox one. I guess there was one! lol
The era when CvS2 came out was pretty different though. I think most folks I knew weren't interested in CvS2 by the time EO hit or they weren't weren't willing to go to that version because sticks were much rarer back, at least good ones anyway. Poverty as always. ;_;
I'm actually interested in the Xbox version reading some of those changes, lol. I wonder how far they went with adjustments because it was def an era where we didn't have as much info about frames/hitboxes as we do now.
uh, that's a random thing to ask? Shiagari refers to being prepared, it can mean in any mean anything really from completing practice goals or learning the things necessary. It really means done and ready to go in any instance it's used even outside of fighting games.
MK tatsu hits croching opponents. But it is not fast enough to confirm off lights, unlike the lk tatsu.

It has to do with the earlier discussion of Daigo quitting in 2005. They asked Nuki (in the 2005 SBO documentary) about Daigo's preparation and he said it was already perfect, but in the commentary he did over it he said that was a lie. He said Daigo only had Yun down pat and that Daigo told him the day before the tournament that he would take down any Yun, but outside of that it was up to Nuki.
DBFC sadly does not have an alpha counter. That would be a very nice thing to have though.
Also unfortunate is that the arcade balance Ignition appears to have literally changed nothing. Guess the game is too budget for character revisions.
Still enjoyable to play... but not against Accelerator, fuck that guy.

Yes it does. You can spend your blast meter one of 3 ways and one is as an alpha counter...sorta.
-Blasts- A+B+C (when icon reads “Blast OK”(air)
The Blast Icon is located beneath the Life Gauge. The lower the health is, the
faster the recharge rate. There are three different types of Blasts. All blast
types can be used in mid-air as well.
- Power-Up Blast: When blast is used, it’ll temporarily increase attack
strength, defensive power, the recharge rate of the Climax Gauge, a bit of
health, and gain 1 Climax stock. If blast hits opponent, the player will gain
an additional Climax stock. It has full invincibility on start up activation.
- Combo Blast: When used during an attack, it launches the opponent vertically
to allow for more damaging combos. Inputting 6A+B+C will blast the opponent
away and will cause a wall bounce near the corner. The player gains 1 Climax
stock for using Combo Blast. This blast has the fastest recharge rate out of
the three.
- Escape Blast: Used when guarding or being hit. It blasts the opponent away,
which halts their offense. The Blast Gauge’s recharge rate is the slowest out
of the other two blast types.
EDIT: Neat! Found Team Spooky playing Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax and goin ham!
Alpha counters are meter burns that launch an attack through blockstun.
What you're describing can be called a Blue Burst, Escape Burst/Blast.

Yeah...I realized it after I posted it was more the ASW burst. Still, you got an option that gets you a tool to force folks to respect you and not try to pressure you to death. Plus considering the reward of using Blast as an Xfactor like tool its got risk reward built in and should be baitable.
Hell If I'll actually play through the roster of Arcana Heart to study ideas and tools folks have experimented with on rosters then I can play this too I guess. I'll probably pick this up later. Man the oddball list of things I've found and placed on my "respect list" is so bizarre to look at these days. Some of the shit I'd love to see in various different games. I swear Arcana Heart's Dorothy would have been top tier in Capcom games. That playing card mechanic is fucking golden. Can't wait to discover what stuff is in Dengeki's toolbox.
CVS2 on Xbox was my first ever online fighter it's around that time when I found SRK and people use to get mad salty over the game because when peeps would DC they would not get a loss.
Had a ton of fun with it and still have my copy to this day. Even got my first custom Sanwa stick made for Xbox (with mic support) back in that time lol which was kind of unheard of because people here were use to seeing Hori sticks.
They went pretty far with the changes I think only Bas could really go back and make a complete list. I was so salty when CVS2 did not work on 360 BC.
Yep, just wanted to make sure you didn't confuse anyone; trust me, if the game had literal Alpha Counters inside I'd jump for joy.... it would knock Asuna's bullshit down a few notches.
Also you rarely see the Escape burst, it just isn't worth it. Maybe if the defender recovered faster.
You might want to see a doc for that

From what I read the other to blasts were super powerful. Launchers, buffs, meter galore. Just so much there. Plus if you were using Trump for an HD gauge style KoF XIII cancel filled combo it'd net you more time in it wouldn't it?

Yeah I'm not really into the aesthetic either. But it'll do until Capcom gets their act together with SFV

I think Rising Thunder is good but its got so much stuff that kills hype. It needs some more punch to its music and backgrounds. Those are how you set the tone and atmosphere in your fighter and largely how you convey any ideas about the setting you need to. It just doesn't convey much of anything yet. The combat looks solid enough, but hitstop is a bit over the top in it and it kills momentum (thanks Q for pointing this out. It was driving me crazy!)
I think it can become more, but that its not quite there yet. It has a lot of potential though.

Purple blast is the best one by far and the one you'll see the most. The rewards are insane.
Green blast you'll see second most likely; used almost always when it's the closing round and you have no other recourse.
What makes it even more imbalanced in favor of purple is that using supers restores your burst gauge. So you will want to build meter just as fast as you spend it. It's a very meter intensive game.
That being said despite this burst imbalance, it is still a really fun game to play. Purple blasts don't take away from the game, they make it more frenetic and awesome. The only complaint is why blue sucks in comparison lol

One thing that surprised me was how much the Japanese players at Evo were using combo blasts in DBFC. I figured it wasn't really worth going for, but they seemed to use it to close out any round if needed (and sometimes even not!), and thinking about it it makes sense. You get a free stock from the combo blast anyway (which means that you may be able to kill with a climax art when you didn't have the meter for it otherwise, or you can just pocket it), and the burst regenerates so stupidly fast you'll get it back in the next round.

Bison is 5'10".
Just looking at the trailer and he seems of a height with Ken... who's supposedly several inches shorter. Are the in game measurements usually accurate with the profile data?

Tokido.
Tokido, mostly.
Not at all really, but this is a new game so I was wondering.
I'm ignoring all of that because the problem with all AAA games is that their tone, artwork, story and music are generally fine, but they're barely even games. This at least looks like a game and they can add all that superfluous stuff later.
Indeed. Music sounds like it belongs in the background of some generic movie scene.
They are robots so having a pumping and exciting soundtrack and background should be a no brainer.
