MBAA Final Tuned (ITT: let's stop fucking talking about the PC port period)

[arvy]

Talking about random character addition. How about Ciel Sensei!? You can't have Neco arc without Ciel Sensei. Maybe more series intertwine with typemoon.

You guys are so lucky to live in a place you can get someone to play. In my country - Brazil- the scene is the netplay, the friends and community is the netplay: hamachi and msn groupsim. There are about 10 MB players in the whole country. Luckily no one is actually playing MBAA, since there are no way to play someone. The max you can do is getting a friend to play with you, so you can perfect him and try to teach him something, but it wont last long. There are few fighting player who go on, I know none out of all my friends, and f*ck yeah, I give it my best trying to get players. The shortest we can go to play someone from the netplay community is like 1k km.. There are no arcades around where we can go and play/get people to like the game... actually there is one in my State, 350 km from here. So what you suggest me?

"Go in the weakends to this city and get a lot of people to play (magic), so they will buy PS2 and MB (sure they will) and you guys can go to each other cities and play (yeah sure)"

You guys have a community, congratz, so keep going strong as community, we from Brazil will always check your tourneys from here. But put in mind that YOU are what makes yours community strong, not the existence of a netplay tool: netplay tool are for those who cant play each other, for those who have no one to play or even for those who like to play some b4 sleeping or when wake up, etc... Don't blame in the world -who wants to play real players- the shitness of those who will stop playing live when they have netplay.

Your input is well noted Christu and I hate to keep this discussion going since I said that I wasn't going to.

I honestly do sympathize with the people outside of American boundaries and beyond like EU and I do appreciate what you've been doing to help your respective communities. Most arguments here are geared towards people in the United States who have regionals and major tournaments for a game like this. The most I expect from people in Brazil, EU, and anywhere else outside of America is to support your own communities and keep US going strong. Now when I say this, I don't mean with your actual physical presence (if you can't afford it lol), but with your encouragement and support during times where we need it. An example would be if Evo asked for a poll for their 6th game or to watch big streams at tournaments when we have them. If you can stay hype for us, we stay hype for any community in need of it. When people in your regions see videos and streams and things of the like, curiosity will increase for your game. Even though you won't peak the masses curiosity (I don't expect you to), but atleast several people in your area will give it a try. No guarantee if they will keep at it, but if they do, that's good for them and you in the process since you are basically developing a scene.

Christu's mindset is exactly what we ask for the people outside of the United States. Support. Beyond what you make of your netplay or anything like that, take the time out and see what's good around Japan and America for MB. Keep staying persistent and hype about your game, even though it doesn't seem like you have a scene for it. I know I didn't, I live in Alabama. We now have 4 legit players including myself playing MB and could be many more here. Your city may be as sparse as Alabama (very very hard to top that), but never lose faith in it if you claim you love your game that much. Seriously, you gotta have a drive for it and if you actually have been trying and gave up, atleast stay active in the english speaking community and support!

Christu, I hope you find someone to play offline, if you don't, keep your words and actions to help the United States community to become better than we already are. I'm not saying that as if we are better than everyone in the world, but we are in need of help anywhere and everywhere we can right now. This is a time where the community can really level up in America and I believe it can.

[Lord Knight]

Most netplay rage is at guys who could play offline but don't.

hey i have no one to play in my area.. AKA THAT DELAWHERE!!?


but i still travel around to get the best comp i can get

also FT: Ryougi LA won't be there...wonder if they'll fuck up the rekkas.. maybe a better overhead than 4C?

[Irysa]

Let's keep it on topic, like how the hardware is not going to be Naomi but Ringwide, which is an XP-embedded system that would make a PC port a closer reality than before.

RIP Naomi, the best arcade system. (along with Neo Geo)

On other thoughts, maybe they'd add in Lio for FT? It would fit in with the whole opposite versions for most a lot of chars they have running. KNK7 also just hit dvd.

[grandlordzero]

On other thoughts, maybe they'd add in Lio for FT?

Just what we need. More knifers. 

Unless they made his fighting style hella different then the shiki's, i don't see the point. (though EX-Magijuana would be kinda lulzy)

If your gonna throw in another KnK character, make it touko or araya. (people with a possibility for a unique moveset compared to the rest of the cast. We dont have a puppet-user yet, and boundaries would be interesting if done right...  )

Oh, and for gods sakes, FUCKING ARIHIKO. NEEDZ MOAR EX-MOTORCYCLE DAMIT.

[Komidol]

Okay, Okay No more fighting, no more fighting...

I have solved EVERYTHING

Now, through my ingenious engineering skills - NO ONE needs a PC Port for any reason. 



Also, MBAAFT should probably have Magical Amber and Azaka as characters.

Ryogi's last arc won't be in the arcade version?

[Nebi]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
That keyboard pad made me happy (though I should buy an expensive stick and get better with it because stick is just...  , I'm still most comfortable with keyboard atm).

Though it'd be interesting, I'd rather MBAA:FT not just have more different variations of the same characters if they add any.
Well, if they can manage to balance everything, as many new chars as possible would be nice.

I doubt's they're going to take out Ryougi's LA rather than fix it...

Keyboard Paaaad /want 

[LivingShadow]

Possible new characters? Am I the only one who thought of Bazett? Another martial arts user to accompany Miyako and she already has a last arc possibility with Fragarach. Although, I doubt that would happen since she was in Fate Unlimited Codes.

@Komi: Something like this would work too.

[Komidol]

No...No it doesn't...they both fail - I'm so ashamed ;_;

Staying on topic: Any other interesting TM characters we forgetting besides the other Tsukihime/obvious KnK and not fate that may be included? How likely is a new character anyway?  I'm happy with some fixes. 

[Benny1]

I'm not really looking for this game to add new characters.  I'd much rather see them give characters like C-V.Sion and H-Wara more reason to be played.  Seriously, fuck a seven frame 2A.  Fuck it so much.  What does H-Wara have that deserves to be counteracted with the slowest 2A in the game.

Seriously, improving unused characters is much more important than adding new ones.  We have plenty of characters.  Three styles for everybody + the sheer amount of characters we have as it is is more than enough, really.  Fix up "useless" characters, then add more.  Melty hardly needs more though.

No nebi, get ye a stick already; also go out and play the guys in WA since you actually have a scene there.

Capcom owns all videogame rights to F/SN IIRC; so that is never happening since ecole is in direct competition with capCOCK.

No...No it doesn't...they both fail - I'm so ashamed ;_;

Seifuku Akiha is much more useless and unneeded than some serious additions like Azaka or Magical Amber (tieing into the original melty story more).  But yeah, I feel like more can be done with some characters.  I think the design behind the F-characters flows better than the straightforward "this is your DP...this is your stow away...this is your projectile...this is your grab...this is your poke"-simple-style of crescent.  In F (and in all styles of the new characters) they added in small mechanics and moves that make a bit more sense to each character, so the character has an overall feeling but keeping the same concept of the original crescent.  Little things like the heart meter or lightning meter for the maids or Roa respectively were cool too.  Not every character can make use of those certain things, but I think H is where I want to see more creativity. 

It honestly feels like they just threw together H-characters.  Basically moves from each F and C with like one single moveset change or individual characteristic with some modified frames (Atleast for most characters). 

I think the problem MB faces and the reason they did the moons was because they wanted to change all the characters but wanted the old players to, for the most part, still have the characters they're familiar with.  If they really want H to be a mix, they should have a separate option.  Does anyone know if they really intended for an eclipse form of all the characters?  I would like to see that finished.

i meant being that damn powerful... and that glitch will prolly be gone..... my bad :'(

[F9|Chibi]

Make F-Hisui not be a shitty gimmick plz.

[Nebi]

Making the "joke" characters even more legit would be awesome.
I would secondary Neco-Arc.

oh please no. if archetype earth was somewhat broken, ORT should be beyond broken

[sevalle]

talking about beyond broken, they could make it such that ORT has got no hitbox (i.e. perma-invulnerability) and the only way to win is to run away from it until time up

there are several reasons i quit mugen. This is one of them.

Please dont taint meltyblood with the fail.

At least they have 2As that hit low.

[ViceVirtuoso]

Am I the only one who thinks Tohno SHIKI should be added? It makes more sense than adding more KnK/Fate characters.

Also buff the Necos and nerf AT Moon to make them tournament viable.

[fiendmaw]

Can Altrouge be a valid new character?
