In Korea, Warc is considered S? :O

Yeah, there is a saying "then just use warc and stfu" that is used whenever somebody complains about their character's weaknesses, their character's matchups, or their skill in general in Korea. As there are few or no competitive sion players in Korea, warc boasts the most amount of competitive players, highest showing in the high brackets of tournaments, and is the primary subject of the I-Lost-Only-Because-Your-Character-Is-Better-Than-Mine comment.

-Immateria and Missing Power is good if you like lolis and want to mindlessly shoot magic at people.
-Guilty Gear was a fun series for a short while, but it quickly got old. Honestly, I think the gameplay is crap. It's more fun just to run around aimlessly; auto-kill moves and retarded supers suck the fun out of it. However, the sprites are pretty hardcore.

... run around aimlessly?

Tougeki Damashii vol.8 have supposedly new info, as well as some new pics.



For the new pic, it seems that Executioner Ciel will be a playable character, and the temporary release date is in May. Also explains the different systems, but I'm not so good with my Japanese...

Edit: Someone who can actually read moonspeak can translate the comments on that page.  But here's what I can tell.

Crescent Moon Style:
Style for the experienced person who prefers mobility and combos.

Full Moon Style:
New style that emphasizes heavy attacks.

Halfmoon Style:
Simple style that is easy to use for beginners.

Cool, but I hope all three styles have advantages rather than the crescent moon style being better but just more difficult.

Red Arcueid / Re: Matchup Thread

« on: January 24, 2008, 05:28:16 AM »

Nice matchup descriptions!!!

My thoughts (emphasis on "My")

- All matchups described can be moved one unit to warcueid's favor.
-- Warcueid has no significant weakness that other characters can take advantage of
-- All her moves generally outprioritize others
-- She has amazing speed in all aspects. Fast ground run dash, fast high jump, fast in air dash, fast attacks. Her play evolves more with the player's skill as movement is so important in MBAC (this is the reason W.Len is low-tier)

- Miyako matchup is very much to warcueid's favor. Miyako's short reach and lesser priority makes her unable to mash warcueid's moves as well as she can to other characters. All Miyako can do most of the time is move around until a situation occurs to her advantage. Warcueid's basics outprioritizes and outreaches(?) Miyako's, and Warcueid can keep up with Miyako's speed.

- Aoko matchup is to Warcueid's favor. Orbs can be easily and safely cleared with bloodring, jb, and 5c (which has enough reach to clear orb and still hit Aoko if she's behind it). But orb fortress situation won't happen easily either as Warcueid's speed can easily run down Aoko. In terms of normal fighting, Warcueid again outprioritizes everything Aoko has. Air or ground, Warcueid can mash Aoko's moves.

-Mech-Hisui is right on the spot

Melty Blood Auditorium / Re: Steps to anti-scrubbery?

« on: January 23, 2008, 10:30:47 PM »

Info:
- Being able to complete at least the most basic BnB (launch, attack, jump cancel, attack, air grab) makes melty blood a whole lot more fun. A playing level lower than that is just button mashing.
- Shielding/EX shielding is a skill that beginners do not need.
- Beginner friendly characters: Tohno Shiki, Red Arcueid,
- Using pad or stick might help do certain commands (like 623).

Suggestions:
- Learn abusive moves, and abuse them. Each character has a certain move in every situation that is the most advantageous to them. The chars I listed above has the most abusive basics that are easy to perform. Note: I'm not talking about specials (236a, 214b, etc), I mean just a/b/c.

For example
Shiki: Mash ja air-to-air, jc beats practically all air-to-air or air-to-ground, 2c has freakish reach and recovery so use them while dashing forward or back and combo into BnB.

- Practice BnB combos in practice mode. You must be able to do them with extreme ease.

- Watch videos of good players and imitate their style of playing.

- Focus on one character. When playing matches, don't change your character every time, stay with one character.

- Must block. Until you learn which commands will defnintely beat out the opponents attack, block when being attacked.



I think I can help out further if I see the replays...

At what times do most ppl play? And do you guys have some sort of meeting place for this? I think I saw mention of an IRC channel somewhere but didn't see anything about one actually being set up. I live in Sweden so it would be interesting for me to see the number of people online at the times I usually play ( ~19-00ish CET ).

Two ways to organize matches. Hamachi:

name: MB NP Ranking
pass:  XieXie

IRC channel:
EFNet, so you don't have to change servers if you are in the MBAC channel.
#Netplay_Ranking

Thanks to Zero for keeping the channel up!

I'm in.

Any plans about a program?

I'm too lazy to do this without something easy to do it with...

Hamachii, IRC, and MBcaster?
There probably aren't any programs that exist or are planned that will make it easier.

   The arcades that is viewed in US is different than the one viewed in Japan other Asian nations that are the primary imports of Japanese fighting game making companies. US arcade is viewed as a place inside a movie theater or a bowling alley that is mostly empty and is $0.75+ per game. Asia: crowded place where people watch, cheer, challenge each other, and play with $0.10~$0.20 per game.
 
   Plus, if they release a pc port at the same time, they would profit a ~little~ more in US as US will buy software once released regardless of whether it was released simultaneously with the arcade version or not, while losing the entire South Korean market, which is pretty big. Do you play with an official MBAC bought from Japan? If so, that's great, but 99% of South Koreans won't do that. It's safe to say that after MBAC for pc has been released, 99.999999999% + or - .000000001% has downloaded it rather than buying it. 

   Also, I have played in arcades at South Korea for a long time, wasted so much money . But I can say this for sure: it sure beats any online battles. Any game, even something like fps that are played mostly online, are a hell of a lot more fun when played in the same room. Rather than talking over headsets, yelling at people and pumping your fist after a win is more exhilarating.

P.S. Yeah, arcades cannot generate enough profit, but it's impossible to change its structure. Net Cafe's cannot provide any of the arcade experience as the policy of net cafe's are to be quiet so as to not bother people who are just trying to check e-mails.

Edit: Oh yeah, I screwed up my sentence structure. I meant that 99.99999% of Koreans didn't officially buy it. The entire Korean pc package game industry died out in SK as everyone downloaded them illegally.

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=CLmovie

This guy uploads Korean casual matches.

He uploads these on Youtube for Japanese people as Koreans use their own video sites (like nico nico for Japanese people), so the names of the players are often Japanese, but they are actually all Koreans.

Unfortunately, there is no sound except for few, and there are only few videos.

Akiha Vermillion / Re: Mashing buttons during Arc Drive and Last Arc

« on: December 19, 2007, 07:23:25 PM »

It's there for the dramatic effect, it LOWERS the damage you deal during the Arc Drive.

Your definition of a "Last Arc" is incorrect - did you mean Another Arc Drive?

For Akiha's arc drive, it actually increases the damage overall for normal arc drive, but decreases the damage overall for the blood heat arc drive. Rather than mashing, there's a specific timing to them.

Yup, the BnB is 5 hits of air b.
However, to us non-pros, that's practically a performance combo, especially to pull it off in a real match.
