whoisntbuying it
>>334847742dead game
>>334847742
Are the characters cool?
>>334848887
If you get past the fact that 75% of the cast are waifu characters, some of them still manage to be pretty cool.
>>334847742
anyone from EU wanna play before i go to bed?
WHERE IS THE PREORDER BUTTON?
Will it be $20 or less? If not I'll wait for a sale
>>334849338
87.205.174.201:7500
I'm buying it, but I'm going to warn you that it's gonna be dead after a few weeks.
Why?
Because it uses delay-based netcode as opposed to the superior rollback-based netcode found in CCCaster (which isn't compatible with the Steam version since it's a Steamworks game). CCCaster is available for free and the game is easy to pirate. So naturally if one wants smooth lagless matches they would use the superior option, not to mention it's free.
>>334849598
It's $25 with a 20% discount for a while, so it's $20 on release.
>>334849678
damn it. its you. were do you live man? it happens everytime.

I have no idea why though. I was playing earlier today just fine.

Just google the IP range dude. He's from Poland.
>>334849909
Day one buy for me then. Hope the steam background look nice.
>>334849727
Eh. I'll probably get a few good matches in or stomp on some new people then go back to CCCaster anyways.
I'm looking more forward to UNIEL.
>>334850231
Of course you would. CCCaster is far superior.
Steamworks + delay based netcode is cancer in my opinion. Literally the only fighting game that has decent netcode on Steam is SkullGirls and I don't like it.
>>334847742
Me, don't have 20 bucks to spare on games ATM.
If anyone wants to get used to delay before the game releases, you can set delay in cccaster's training mode by pressing ctrl+num
>>334847742
Can't wait thousands of people to buy this and then like 50 people playing next week
I'll buy and Arc background even if it's $100
>>334847742

Beating scrubs who are new to the game and don't know about the pirated version or caster. Otherwise, no. Not at all.
I'm guessing still no boss rush mode?
>>334849727
>delay-based netcode as opposed to the superior rollback-based netcode
What's the difference?
>>334852864
the whole story mode is translated this time around
>>334847742
I'm getting it just to see Arc again. I'm hoping she reprises her role as Berserker in the upcoming Fate/Extra anime.

I love the game but this is a lazy release that deserves to fail
>>334853632
If there was CCCaster implementation it would be worth it
>no new content
theres lobbies and a complete translation, what the fuck else do you want?
>>334853726
>Lobbies
Since when?
>>334853726
Pretty sure there were modes in PS2 version that were omitted from PC release.
>>334853808
PS2 version isnt the latest version and im pretty sure this is based off the arcade version
>>334853726
A not shit release
>>334853491
rather her than vlad.
>>334853930
why are you shitposting so hard
do you not have money
>>334853330
Well, first of all, that guy's wrong, though just barely. CCCaster is a mix of delay and rollback netplay. The biggest benefit of this is that there is little to no input delay even when playing across large distances.
so what's so great about this game anyway?
how hard is it to pick up?
>>334853330
One has virtually no delayed controls while the other delays your inputs by half a second. If you've played with and without rollback before you'll notice a pretty big difference.
>>334854091
It's probably the most fluid fighter I've ever played, and is among the fastest. Combos are very easy to perform and are highly customizable. The game just feels good.
>How hard is it to pick up?
Depends entirely on your fundamentals - if you have good fundamentals this game will be second nature to you.
>>334847742
I recognize these characters from a H-VN
>>334854091
To just pick up and play, the BnBs of most characters are pretty simple. It's very neutral based where one hit can lead into strong pressure/oki. If you want to get more into it, there's a bit more to learn with the system mechanics between the different moon styles. However, a lot of mastering the game comes from mastering its neutral since it's pretty damn fast even when compared to other anime fighters.
>>334854440
Yes, that VN has a fighting game
>>334854618
Any sexual content?
>>334854440
its no H just because there's like 4 sexual scenes
>>334850990

Eh it's still better than fate.
>>334859362
I WILL fight you
Does the game have a good tutorial? It seems the game has a wide slew of mechanics like different stances and supers that only activate on blocking and something about picking different phases of the moon.
I hope this isn't one of those "Here's the wiki, you're on your own" sort of deals.
>>334847742
How does one get a Steam background? Seriously, I've never even seen one in my life. Much less how to get one in this game.
>>334859843
All the tutorial you need is Roku's videos then practice a couple of BnBs.
>>334859843
Sorry it is one of those deals.
But the resources out there are very good here's a good place to start

>>334860019
Just enter somebody's profile, the image on the background is, well, their steam background.
>>334860236
But how do I get one?
Does this game have an actual story mode like the first one or is there only arcade mode
>>334860365
Arcade only.
>>334860332
By completing badges. Or buying the backgrounds from the market.
>>334860365
Plenty of characters have outright arcs like Riesbyfe and a "secret" version of Shiki.
Others just have the simple few cutscenes and a end.
>>334860332
Play the game for at least 2 hours after that steam trading cards should start dropping randomly. The number of card drops you get is half the amount of cards of the set. Collect all of the cards and then craft them into badge. You will get a random background and emoticon.
Or you just just wait for someone to sell their background in the community market
>>334860132
>>334860184
A pity. Oh well, fighting games are all about practice and discovery after all.
Thanks for the advice!
>2 hours left

haven't read Tsukihime yet
not sure if I should since Fate series is so bad
i'm not buying it. i'm broke and i have it for ps2
>>334861608
Why don't you try reading it and see for yourself retard.
>>334861608
Just read the VN
Tsukihime isn't even that long.Read the manga too I guess
>>334860667
>and a "secret" version of Shiki.
Which Shiki?
>>334861608
Tsukihime is pretty good compare to Fate/stay night. Then again I stopped reading Fate/stay night after completing Fate ending because most of it was boring. Is Unlimited Blade Works route any good? I might pick it up if it isn't as boring as Fate route.
>>334861894
>Which Shiki?
It's either Shiki, Shiki, Shiki, Shiki, Shiki, SHIKI, SHIKI, or 「 」.
>>334861731
Well why don't I just not, how about that?
>>334861889
>Just read the VN
Yes, this is what I meant. I didn't even know there was a manga, and I had assumed the VN was the definitive version, as seems to be the case with most VNs.
>>334861990
It gets better with each route but it's still pretty bad for all the same reasons.
Archer is pretty cool though.
>>334861990
Fate route is boring because it's mostly exposition dump, UBW is better and HF's really good aside from the fucking cooking scenes.
>>334861990
The whole point of reading FSN is getting to heaven's feel. If you can't commit to that don't even read it.
>>334861990
Fate route is considered the weakest of the three routes of FSN, since it focuses on infodumping the world on you and introducing the characters, while also trying to balance Shirou and Saber's relationship development (which the author considers to have been poorly handled)
UBW is shorter and better paced. Nice action sequences, though it focuses on Shirou's ideals and character more, which Fate probably gave an awful impression of. Some consider this the high point.
HF is slightlty shorter than Fate and has some awful pacing that picks up in the last few days, ramping up to the best action sequences in the whole VN (including two bad ends that are pretty much essential to read). Lot of thematic reversals and twists that are largely untelegraphed by the other two routes might overwhelm some.
tbqh reading FSN was worth it just because of
>Set, trigger off
>>334863231
Goddamn, this VN had so many fucking hype moments. Granted, Im a sucker for this kind of shonen shit, and reading how Shirous mind gets all fucked up from doing all this shit made it even better. Tsukihime was a damn good read, but it just didnt have any big moments except maybe the Nrvnqsr fight and the akiha fight.
>>334864442
It had some great scenes though.
>Shiki slowly going insane

I hate Shirou but that moment was great.

literally why, best Tsukihime routes are the far side ones
>>334864442
Can you keep up with me?
Best fucking scene
>>334860132

I didn't even realize it was out.
Its gonna bomb isn't it?

a) im not planning on playing it soon
b) no guarantee it works on Wine.

be thankful they are even releasing them in the first place

Should I go ahead and pull the trigger? I'd feel silly if we just started using the caster
>>334877016
You are not buying this for the netcode/online play, that's all I can really say
>>334856163
What does Hisui mean by this gesture?
>>334877378
there is no Tsukihime anime.
>>334877016
you're going to keep using the caster, the netplay is garbage even in the same state
Who did this netcode, WHAT IS THIS
So can we just replace the old 0008.p with the one from the Steam release?
>>334877742
I've played 5 matches and 3 were awful. This slowdown is unreal. I can't even play neutral let alone do combos.
>>334877742
They have as good of grasp at netcode as the translators did with the English language. Finding a lot of intern-tier errors.
>>334877789
Looks like it'll be a little bit harder than that.
>>334876387
>>334876507
>>334876573
Did adjusting the resolution work? I'm just downloading now, i can't see for myself
They just took the original japanese version's netcode and tackled steamworks and lobbies on top of it didn't they
Hisui is best girl.
>>334878157
Yes.
>>334877852
If it's by Arc System Works then yeah I doubt their English quality translations. Blazblue started to suffer from some English translations errors as well when Aksys stop by being translators. I'm scared about the quality of Revelator and Central Fiction would be if they are still making errors like this.
>>334878157
Hisui> Akiha> Arcueid> Ciel
Kohaku is the wacky comic relief even if the original game said otherwise
>>334878023
Not sure since I don't know if others change their resolution to the lowest. Ever since I changed mine, the delay isn't as bad as before.
>>334878157No.Maids best girls.
Just gonna wait til computer nerds fix this.
>>334878157
My nigga.
>>334878360
Fix what, the netplay on steam version?
There is no way for fans to fix a steamworks based netplay.
And if fans make an independant netplay tool like CCaster but for steam version, then there's no point to get Steam version in the first place, since the only gameplay related advantage on having it on Steam is the netplay.
>>334878609
It's nice to own the game legally and support ASW. That's the only reason the game is worth buying. The nectode is already much worse than the current caster.
>>334878347
Didn't one of their VAs died?
The thing cost about 11$ here with 20% off.
How much is it in the states?

>>334847742
new to MB, are style important or they are basically the same?
>>334879321
They are quite different. Moves even change depending on the style. I suggest running through training mode to decide which one you like best.
>>334879172
SEA, I'm getting it. It one of the first fighting game I really into it
>>334878812
Yeah, the voice of Hisui. It's a damn shame, she was top-tier.
>>334879321
for some characters it mainly changes how you build meter and how the shield works
for other characters you're wildy different between modes
>>334879321
The 3 moon-stlyles have different "super" bar handling, different guard mechanics, and different "counter/deflecting" mechanics.
Some moves might change.
>>334879454
SEA here too. How's the online scene? I've never really tried to play online, only locally with my mates.

>>334879834
It's decent. Super fun casually. On the pro scene the games are often decided by who gets locked in a corner first, though.
Just got the game, currently setting up my desktop on my balcony to take part in the time-honored tradition of Outside Melty.
