Fighting games are fun and cool.

Especially the best fighting game, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R.

You should play it.

How many times can I put +R down before hitting the character limit?

But seriously, +R is probably my only undying classic that I'll always go back to. I enjoy melty on a more casual level and whatever BB revision is newest for fun, but other than that, it's just a rotating set of poverty games.

Unless you're C-PCiel in which case everything is j.C/airthrow, j.236A~A (with maybe a bonus 236B~B after that).

+R is the best game in the series, and dirt cheap, so that's a great start.

Force Breaks and FRCs at least contribute 25 meter offensive options that you can do even during blockstrings or combos, unlike forced RRCs. And FRCs don't eat inputs like YRC flashes.

ACES CURE PLANES
Oct 21, 2010



Ah, I see what you mean. Usually when I see people complain about FRCs, it's on the mechanic as a whole. You have a point on the additions that I tend to overlook just by virtue of having a character (HOS) who benefited pretty greatly overall from the update. For me, the difference comes in the problems I have with +R are more character specific, whereas the problems I have with Xrd are on a system mechanics level.

Personally though, I just find it more engaging and refreshing to play. That's not to say that I hate Xrd, just that it isn't as satisfying, and jumping back and forth lately really has me missing it.

also more games should have cvs2 style 3-sec long low anim unique intros. i feel like repurposing animation and having unique voice lines vs diff chars does a long way in selling a chars personality but lol no one cares about stronger character focus in fgs.

Baal posted:

Marvel 3 is literally the only game Capcom has put in recent years that did this and it was awesome

That makes me wonder, before they ditched it for Xrd, was arcsys the only guys left doing that sort of thing (along with combat intros)? I know they still have occasional special combat intros in BB but that's all I can think of that's still doing it.

Zand posted:

remember the intros in GGXX that changed the starting positions for the characters if you let them play out

They're even better when they glitch out randomly so like Slayer vs HOS will have the wrong effects applied and HOS gains a magic fire barrier during the intro and poo poo.

IKs were the least of GG1's problems. My personal favorite is fullscreen 50% from a DI VV but there's just so much.

Eh, when it's a little nod in a series that already references a ton of artists almost by name (like GG or JoJo), I'm okay if you put a soundalike riff in a song. The lovely thing is when you pull a Budokai whatever that one was and wholesale lift the entire song.

That reminds me, for as bad as All Star Battle the game was, the OST was drat good, and had some pretty great sample work that was appropriate for the given character, like in ACDC and Zeppeli's themes:

To get a legal non-steam copy you've got to buy a Carnival Phantasm blu-ray that I think at launch was in the 100 dollar range, and now looks to have rocketed up to about 300 dollars.

That said though, last I checked, the Carnival Phantasm set isn't tournament standard anymore because the steam version is more arcade accurate. I don't know the total changes, I just know that there's some characters who have some issues.

CPEX was excellent and the new one CF is a really solid game so far.

I'm actually curious, since this sentiment comes up rather often, are there enough people interested in CF to justify a thread for it, seeing as it comes out in like two weeks? I know it (and non-Melty/GG airdashers in general) is rather persona non grata in this thread, but having a thread for it would at least keep others who don't like it from being bothered by it. Maybe merge it into a general Arcsys/airdasher thread since the Xrd thread is getting on in years and the OP is really out of date.

Of course, I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes either, but might as well ask.

Yeah, I just didn't want to step on Henaki's thread, but I bugged him and he said it wasn't a big deal so I'll probably start writing something up for a GG/BB/general airdasher/anime fg thread thing.

Is there anyone who still plays P4AU that might want to do a short blurb on it? I never really played it to any deep extent so I'd be kind of at a loss for that.
