... is going to have it's reveal on the 6th of February. (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/01/31/metal_blood_team_new_game/)

French Bread wants fans of Melty Blood and 2D fighters to look forward to it. (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/20110201/1296490206)

Can't wait to see what they've come up with. They've been pretty quiet about it aside from that one character concept thing.

Why be sad? After all, if we had to come to grips with CC never coming home, at least we know that FB is working with a new IP, which should stand to do so, some day. Hell, maybe they may even team with "those guys" (ASW) in order to try and get released abroad.

I'm glad for a new IP.  I'm saying stay sad to all the people who are hoping for a Current Code port.  They've already said they're going to be releasing info on the new game they've been working on, which they specifically noted previously is a new IP.  Chances of this announcement being a CC port are minimal.

Also on the subject of Koihime Musou - I don't know a damn thing about that series so not really excited at the possibility.

lol.  Yeah, I'm kind of worried of that as well.  They might not try to make it a melty clone though, and go for something different in core mechanics.  Right now I basically don't have any expectations.  I'm trying to keep open to whatever they do and see how interested I am after the announcement.

Well, I don't think they'll abandon every single thing from MB. After all, while this is a new IP, they're still going to want MB arcade-goers to roll over to the new game that eventually will be taking MB's place. And the best way to ensure that is to give them some thing relatively familiar to serve as a common ground, even as they may go in other directions for the overall "feel" of the game. 

I guess in the end, what I want is something closer to how the Darkstalkers/Vampire series became its own entity from SF, by developing its own playstyle and mechanics, even though it does share a number of the same "Capcom fighting game conventions" as SF. If FB's new FG can do some thing similar, I think it will do just fine, without having to necessarily do what ASW did for that ("hateful") BlazBlue.  ;D

New IP: Under Night In-Birth (http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/7675/wztbg.jpg). [... what? Also, 'In-Birth' is pronounced 'inverse' apparently.]

Also, "the official site should be up today, and they're currently uploading the promo movie, please be patient". (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/20110206/1296981766)

EDIT:

According to this twitter account, it seems that Melty's getting a version up as well? (http://twitter.com/ariesukobeya)  Both sites should be up soon.

EDIT 2:
Full scan of the first image. (http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2994/hydragp01l.jpg) Second image that reveals the game's website; (http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/3338/hydragp02l.jpg) http://inbirth.info (http://inbirth.info), which is currently unavailable.

EDIT 3:  :slowpoke:
From a report on the event here. (http://www.ariesu.com/)
- 4 button control scheme.
- 4 characters revealed so far - Hyde, Linne, Waldstein and Carmine.
- Development started about a year ago, and the game is currently at 30~40% completion.
- Expected release at the end of the year.
- An exhibition is planned for the Amusement Maker Show in September.
- 1280x720 HD resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio.


About the next Melty Blood
- Additional Characters.
- 2 screenshots were shown.
- Powerd Ciel added to the game.  [:gonk:]
- Scheduled for Spring.
- Arcades currently running Current Code will get upgraded free of charge.
- Another character will be revealed around Summer, they can't say who it is just yet, but they can give a hint.
- Afterwards, they'll consider Melty Blood HD, but Type-Moon's side thinks it's too soon? [Not sure about this one.]

And lastly there'll be a full report in Arcadia.

Not a bad amount of information dropped, though a lot less visuals than I expected (so far at least).  Thanks for the update Erkz, +heat to you.

I'm honestly surprised about the melty news.  More new characters?  That's pretty absurd.  It's also absurd(ly awesome) that they're upgrading all CC cabs for free.  Powered Ciel makes me curious if she'll be toned down and playable or just boss only shenanigans.  I'm happy that they're interested in upgrading it to HD as well though, tbh.  The chances that it'll see a port to current gen systems is higher with that, which makes it more likely to revive and spread the US scene.  This, in turn, makes me happy that Melty's not coming to a close with the new IP they're dropping, which then makes me hope that Inbirth (lol, french bread names) is not like Melty in terms of mechanics.  It'd be rather silly to make a game that directly competes with your other active title after all.

+Heat for Erkz as well.

The fact that there will be another new version before a console port makes me laugh because all the theory fighting about Current Code is basically all useless since America, out side of those 3 or so cabs, will never see it.  To be honest I kind of expected this (even if we got a PS2 port of current code, there would probably be more balance changes anyway, so no matter how you look at it, there will be enough balance changes before America ever plays on console). 

I was kinda hype for this new fighter but the art style doesn't tickle my fancy.  People can argue that graphics in a game don't matter - but that can make a big difference if you're going to be staring at a screen at the same game for days, nights, weekends on end.  Maybe there will be a fun character.

Well, it's very likely going to be a, b, c and (game-play specific button), even if it's not necessarily shield any more. But it does look like that since MB isn't going any where any time soon, that's all the more reason to think that UN may try something else.

But hey, after putting in the time with QOH and MB, FB finally gets to put out a fighting game franchise that's truly theirs. They've truly come a long way as Indy dev.

Fetuspuncher is also acceptable I think, but UNIB is the standard.  I can't wait to see more.  I hope that the fourth button is not a parry, but rather something different and interesting.  There's also some speculation on whether the environment is 3d or very good 2d.  I look forward to seeing more on the game, for sure.

Well, the kana is the same for both, and inverse is the only one that's actually a coherent word.  Sometimes I wonder if French Bread is actively trying to make their titles as horribly confusing and nonsensical as possible.

Comments on the video:
1. WOW THE NORMALS ARE ALL FUCKING HUGE
2. Linne is ryougi lol
3. I didn't see any double jump+airdash
4. Wow, the normals really are all fucking huge
5. Actually the stage and attacks are equally large, so maybe it's just the characters are just small (minus Berserker guy)

Overall pretty hype video.  I'm more excited to see how it develops than I was previously, and I was pretty excited initially.

Oh boy oh boy! Modern weapon fighter ^_^ I wonder if it'll feel like a more mobile LB or SS.

Dat short hop

if anyone in socal wants to pull money together to buy UNIB, i have a vewlix that can house it for free play and combo videos and etc
Isn't UNIB run on NESICA? Have people figured ways around it, or are you planning to just tank the cost of the subscription too or w/e?

I never did follow BBCSII closely enough to find out how NESICA actually ended up working out on the operator side.

The Professor over at MMCafe has one last detail that has seemingly escaped most other outlets from the original story.

: Professor
...Game was originally just a joke concept but it became a real project after Tsukihime writer Kinoko saw it. The article is vague about whether Kinoko is actually involved in its development.

- http://www.mmcafe.com/cgi-bin/forums/bbs/messages/13231.shtml#55359

Interesting that this game seems to be right on the heels of its predecessor, right down to having its roots in being a gag. ;D

Any way, loving that this looks to be a more of a weapons-based fighter. And now, the painful wait 'til we get more information...

I heard that detail was an elaborate troll attempt, not that it really matters either way.  The game sure isn't a joke at this point. 

Personally, I can't wait to see what the other chars will end up like.

They have not said the platform that the game is on but it's rather unlikely that it's using NESICA.... Ecole mainly deals with Sega Borads, so the likelihood that it's on the Ring-series than the ever popular Taito Type X^2 is rather high, and French Bread still works with Ecole.
That said, the Ring-series (the low end Ringwide, the high end RingEdge) does happen to have something similar to Taito's Nesicaxlive. Sega's ALL.net... wikipedia have more details on it, I think.

That said, September will likely shed some light on that detail of the platform that UNIB is on since it's being shown at the JAMMA convention. It would be a good time to see what has happened from this point at that time.

 :slowpoke:...some of the defense effects are yellow and not blue, sugesting a ex-guard system similar to mbaa. It still looks strange to me a meter going to the max of 200% even with half moon's melty blood characters been exactly like this, but maybe it's because i have played sfalpha too much. And i dunno what that thing in the center of the bottom of the screen is for, but it looks like sometimes one or two of those things go off, and sometimes they change color.

Yea I was wondering about that too...it looks like P1 has a red bar and P2 is blue, but at 1:23 you can see that P2's bar crosses over into P1's...so idk. Nvr seen anything like that b4.... I was thinking some kind of shared meter...?
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 08, 2011, 05:42:07 PM
I don't think those are airdashes you see. Those look more like superjumps, with the dust-cloud effects on the ground. A new kind of superjump that's low to the ground to take the place of IADs? Looks nice though.

Yeah, but look at the art style of KoF.  It's clearly not anime/Japanese.  That's what he was referring to.

On the subject of double jumps and air dashes, I will be legitimately excited if they branch away from the standard "anime fighter" type of aerial movement.  Not that I don't like the immense aerial options in Melty, but rather I want to see something different from Melty in this game.  Hopefully the majority of the full cast will be available for our viewing pleasure when the September exhibition comes around.

The overall look and pacing of the game definitely does a lot to remind me of Last Blade, certainly. Right down to how main hero-boy Hyde looks a bit like (Awakened) Kaede.  ;D

But yeah, I agree with L-Sauce. The more that this game does more to be its own beast, not only from MB, but from everything else on the market, the better. And if the game truly does have a SNK "feel", with its short hops and rolls among possibly others, that would make me immensely pleased.

Considering KoF has gone through a ton of artists, I can't say I know which one you're referring to.

The one they had when they were under Eolith? I mean, predictably, everything looked more Korean when they became a subsidy of a Korean company, but that was a pretty temporary phrase compared to everything else, lol.

It could be a grab with a very specific distance it hits.  In other words, if they're too close (inside his arm span) it wouldn't hit or something along those lines.  Just because a move is a grab doesn't mean it has to be point blank.

If true, it would definitely be another sign of the times, since few arcade devs want to invest in PCBs that may just sit some place and not sell.

Pretty much, yeah. The good thing is, it eliminates the cost of manufacturing and shipping when it comes to getting your games in arcades. Of course, on the other hand, if your game is only available on Nesica, you're limited to the coverage that service allows.

I don't think Narita was actually being serious.

I dunno, man. After all, let's not forget that a good number of Watanabe/FB's "jokes" ended up being what actually occurred.  ;D

But seriously, a lot of the arcade trends right now are pointing to how developers are rallying to the tune of Taito's Nesica. BBCSII is on the service. SNK has put another rendition of the UM KOF games on the service. Even Examu is opting to use it for their upcoming Aquapazza, and it has everything to do with how it's a nice cost-cutting option, while still getting a good deal of distribution around Japanese arcades. 

So, it may be innocent "jest" for now, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if there's more to it. Chances are, if Sega is not willing to play ball and make them a compelling offer, then FB will likely be left with little choice but go Nesica as well, like a number of their rivals already are.

It is another downside, in that before Nesica or ALL... 100 yen in the cab was 100 yen pre play. That is not longer the case, both Sega (with ALL.net) and Taito (with Nesicalive) will have a percentage of every coin in the cab. It makes the risk factors higher for developers since, simple put, games really can't afford to flop in such a market. Sega and Taito would have something to say about a failure directly.

French Bread attempting to livestream stuff. (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13105419)  :slowpoke:

Supposedly they stream some Melty and talk about UNIB. [Or at least, that's what they said on their blog. (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/20110305/1299322523)]
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LivingShadow March 05, 2011, 08:29:17 AM
There's footage for a new char for UNIB in there. Looks like it's a combination of Wara and team style summons.

My guess is that seed looks like some kind of cancel command.

The link he gave was the recorded stream archive.

Edit:
Okay so the new unib char looks like blue akiha with a rapier.  She might be in a nun outfit, kind of hard to tell.  Her attacks have the smallest range of anyone shown so far, but she has a crazy amount of movement in them, so she kind of flies around the screen with her specials.  Also, she has a jojo's-style stand she can summon out.  He looks fucking awesome like some kind of big ass knight with a huge sword.  It didn't really do much, but seems like you can enter commands to have it attack and whatnot.  It generally follows the girl around the screen.  It's attacks are appropriately huge to the rest of the cast's shit.

Still no sign of double jumps or air dashes, from what I could tell.

I am really liking that movement she has... the design itself isn't much, but I can't say much with the fuzzycam. I get the sense that she might be more complex than she seems with the "stand" work. I am kind of disappointed with the "stand" itself, was kind of hoping for more animation when idle, but he seems to be stiff and float around as it follows the girl.

Still looking at Hyde as "the character" for me.... something about dem pokes.

Yeah, I' was kind of disappointed at the lack of stand commands shown.  She only had it do a pretty basic looking slash attack a couple of times.  With how she can cross through opponents with that rapier dash though, it makes me wonder if she will be able to do silly combo or block strings hitting the opponent back and forth between herself and the stand.

Like Carl from BB? Thatd b sexy.
I'm a little disappointed that he's probably gonna be all commands tho...
Itd be awesome if all of his moves were attached to one button, (ie btn1 controls stand, bttns 2,3,4 control ms. rapier) so itd feel more like controlling two chars.

Well, I wasn't expecting much out of this preview. This is not like FB was releasing "assets" like Capcom did(and keeps doing) with Marvel 3, so to have many unknowns behind the veil is expected for them showing off one character.
That said, I am expecting something more of a development bubble with UNIB till Sept... this could be the only think that we hear about the game for a while.

MBAACC had a hardware issue? :psyduck:

No, but FB has been playing games on what hardware it's going to be on. From my guess, there is nothing wrong with the Ringwide for UNIB... outside of less visual ram, in which case they could just move to RingEdge. Nothing that I have seen would suggest that they need to move to another board, and considering that programmers are creatures of habit... I doubt that FB would move away from something that they are comfortable with (assuming that they are).
And yet with all of that, FB has been tossing Tatio's TypeX^2 into the discussion for some apparent reason.


To me, I would doubt that they move away from Sega hardware unless Ecole did as a publisher. It would also make little marketing sense to have all these events in Sega-owned locations with it being produced on completing hardware.
That said, FB setting the record straight on that matter (again, like with carmine gender) would be nice to see.

From the Bread Factory: (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/)
- UNIB development is going favorably. They've surpassed the most difficult parts, so the rest is apparently a downhill slope. (Though after recruiting dotters from the beginning, such is to be expected.)
[ :V - Apparently.]

- Apart from Powered Ciel, they announced another character at HydraGP, which they feel that they'll be able to reveal soon. Kansai Melty players should look forward to it.
[ :V - ... huh?]

- Regarding Comiket, French Bread doesn't plan on participating from now on. Please look forward to the Circle Melon Bread around next year. (Not that we checked, but Melon Bread probably exists already, so that's no good, is it? lol)
[ :V - ... ]

- French Bread is now taking questions, comments and offering life-counselling (lol) at the following e-mail address: lisarec+fb@gmail.com
[ :V - Was that seriously an OreImo joke?]

- They should be able to hold their second livestream sometime next week.
[ :V - Assuming UST is referring to their Ustream and not that they plan to switch their clocks from JST to UST for some strange reason.]

Now for something familiar.


From the Bread Factory: (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/)
- UNIB development is going favourably. They've surpassed the most difficult parts, so the rest is apparently a downhill slope. (Though after recruiting dotters from the beginning, such is to be expected.)
[ :V - Apparently.]
Well that is a plus... Can we see another character soon.

- Regarding Comiket, French Bread doesn't plan on participating from now on. Please look forward to the Circle Melon Bread around next year. (Not that we checked, but Melon Bread probably exists already, so that's no good, is it? lol)
[ :V - ... ]
There is a time for everything, with the amount of pull they have with MB... the time to get official might be now. That said, They need a marketing team... or not, but it might help with the crowded field.

- French Bread is now taking questions, comments and offering life-counselling (lol) at the following e-mail address: lisarec+fb@gmail.com
[ :V - Was that seriously an OreImo joke?]
I would laugh to find out that that address was real.

- They should be able to hold their second livestream sometime next week.
[ :V - Assuming UST is referring to their Ustream and not that they plan to switch their clocks from JST to UST for some strange reason.]
Nice, nice... do they plan to show more of UNIB or not?

It's confusing because they forgot to translate the rest of the paragraph :P
 
Kansai Melty players should look forward to it, because they plan to show her at the HydraGP tournament held in the Kansai region.
 
Moreover, the comment about the new character from a while back was, "She who became  a normal character..." so it's most likely ArchTypeEarth/Princess Arc or Osiris...

Elesia?

【速報】明日のMBAACC5on5『月光再輝』にて、明日1日限りとなりますが、MBAACC新verが1台だけ稼動いたします。 完全武装シエルが追加されています! あと、『UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH』のPVも放映予定です!

MBAACC5on5 'moonlight recalescence' of tomorrow being similar, it is limited to tomorrow 1 day, but MBAACC new ver works just 1. Full pack [shieru] is added! After, 'also PV of UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH' is televising schedule!

According to gameacho's twitter, something about Power Ciel and Under Night PV incoming...?

Seems like they plan on hosting that 5on5 on an updated MB cab, one with Powerd Ciel on it. And they have plans to show a/the UNIB PV afterwards. No idea if it's a new one or the old one though.  :mystery:

Elesia?

I was hoping for Elesia earlier, but they announced Powerd Ciel... Two new Ciels in one version of the game would be epic, though, lol.

As for the boss character that has turned into a normal character mentioned above; are you sure they're not talking about Powderd Ciel? She fits the description better than Archtype or Osiris or G-Akiha (Unless they mean GVS-Akiha  :V).

Since Elesia is out of the picture, I'm hoping for the real Shiki Tohno. That way some new player can say they play Shiki, and I can ask "Which one?" then they reply, "The male one," and I ask "Which one?" and they reply, "Shiki Tohno," and I ask "Which one?"   :slowpoke:

- We said we'd try to have the game in operation by the end of the year, but it's been delayed to Spring next year. I'm sorry, everyone! It'd be nice if we finished before Spring though. ^^;
[ :gonk: - And after all that "it's going favorably" stuff too.]

- Koihime AC is seriously coming out!
[ :V - ... huh? What does that have to do with anything?]

- About the AM Show Exhibit... Doushio~? There's been some trouble regarding the voice actor contracts, and while the game's pretty good without voice acting... I don't want to admit defeat, orz. Oh well, we'll think of something.
[  :gonk: - wat? TL Note: "Doushio" means "What should I do?"]

- About the 2nd UST that was announced a month ago. It was announced too early. I believe various things must be prepared and must also be implemented on this end. I want to do follow-up reports on Melty Blood and UNI, please enjoy it.
[ :V - ... so... when is it?]

Erm... There's not much more detail to go into. He talks about Golden Week [how it pretty much stopped everything], tightropes [comparing game development to it], commenting that the earthquake didn't really affect development that much, then suddenly "we're now aiming for spring next year, sorry" and the Koihime AC thing. Afterwards he mentions the AM show exhibit ["Doushio? Making it in time is pressuring."], the voice actor trouble [something about agreements/payments, not sure about this one.], makes a jab about not having voices and ends with the Ustream stuff [Too early, enjoy the next one].

From the Bread Factory: (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/) [Thanks Caiooa for the heads up.]

- Thanks again for watching the stream.

- With regards to Melty; from the brief look in the video, the new character is oriented towards advanced-level players, a specially planned out kind of character that plays a little different from all the characters so far. Look forward to it.
[ :V - So he says.]

- With regards to UNIB; you'll have to wait a little bit for proper character introductions. I didn't think it'd become the first bit of news in 4 months without anything else. Until then, I guess everyone will have to call them the "Mystery Character." orz I haven't thought about the official site's design yet, though. orz

- The illustration (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/images/diary/F/French-Bread/2011-05-26.jpg), done by the artist Yoshihara*, is of the Stand-User from an earlier glimpse... Harada-san [Tentative]. Next up, we'll introduce this person... or so I thought. orz Anyway, we'll keep doing our best.
 [* = Not sure. Kanji is 吉原.]

- The phone thing during the live broadcast. I lost it when I saw "Tsukihime Renewal development has finally started" but then "Gotcha, idiot" and I let a little tsukkomi slip into the live broadcast... and that's that. Speaking of which, with regards to MBHD, until Tsukihime Renewal's release date is announced, our goal is perfecting UNIB. If, at that time, we get an OK from TYPE-MOON, look forward to it eventually.
[:gonk: - They haven't announced one for MahoYo yet, far more that...]

- [And in the last paragraph he nerdrages/gasms about recent anime.]
[ :V - Ano Hana, Denpa Onna, Hanasaku Iroha and Hoshizora in case you were wondering.]

the platform being NESiCA[!?] until September. (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/)

You know, it just hit me that the platform might be negligible... It's going to be a networked game regardless (update, and so on), on systems that both have an window's based OS and hardware structure. There would not be many differences if the code to the game itself was made to be somewhat portable (which is a good idea despite hardware loyalty).

the platform being NESiCA[!?] until September. (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/)

You know, it just hit me that the platform might be negligible... It's going to be a networked game regardless (update, and so on), on systems that both have an window's based OS and hardware structure. There would not be many differences if the code to the game itself was made to be somewhat portable (which is a good idea despite hardware loyalty).

Granted, I doubt that Sega would be happy with that but Ecole goes that way they take FB with it. There is not a lot that Sega can really do to keep them in one spot.

Good point. Plus in the arcade market, much like everything else relating to the game industry, it's getting harder and harder for the "little" guy to make any penetration in the market. Even more so when arcade hardware costs several arms and legs, and operators have to be very choosy with what units they'll buy.

So, as much as I'm sure this will be the bane of all prospective arcade importers outside of Japan, Ecole and FB may make this choice, because it will at least give them a chance to get out there on the market, without necessarily having to deal with the costs of hardware distribution (which is the very thing that has plagued SNK for both KOFXII and XIII alike).

That is why I don't think that Ecole will be willing to make an exclusive if this turns out to be the case. It would lessen distribution costs to just toss the game on the network(s) to buy and let the operators deal with if they want it or not from their hardware manufacturer of choice.

But also keep in mind that Sega has been keeping an eye on their amusement (read: Arcade system and places) side of business, and they are a large international corporation with many channels. Tatio, not so much. I honestly don't think that Sega would simply let this pass without doing something, given FB's track record. If anything, The House of Sonic still has much cash to burn.... and that would be the usual response if Ecole has those aspirations to leave.

Oh and last I checked, SNK moved to Tatio's Type^2 for hardware a while back. How has that been an issue?

To put it bluntly: the costs. Basically, everything relating to how XII went down put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths and it was no different in Japanese arcades. XII failed to deliver on anyone's expectations, for the costs that were entailed. And then a console port was rushed out, which left Arcade Operators PISSED. For it left them stuck with arcade hardware that was sitting around, doing nothing, while people were happily going back to the UMs. 

So much did XII change things for SNKP, that they had to make deals with Konami to act as the publisher for the arcade release of XIII. Likely done to make it so that operators felt that they had a little more "security" when it came to committing to another investment to buy the hardware.

So, yeah, the whole XII episode stands as arguably one of the "worst case scenarios" in this vein. Even so, I'd like to think that FB and Ecole wouldn't turn a blind eye to that much, seeing how UNIB represents their own first foray in HD, and that much of an investment is expensive as it is. Sega may be looking out for their interests, but FB, especially, has to be considering their own stake in their future.

For it left them stuck with arcade hardware that was sitting around, doing nothing, while people were happily going back to the UMs. 
Oh, I could see that... The Type^2 is not cheap, and Tatio is not that known for quality control. So when SNK let slip a bad (obviously beta) game on the system and then rush to console, it would leave operators in a lurch. I would hesitate to buy direct from SNK again, unless they had gold on their hands ... lucky for them that XIII is the better game.
For much of the same reason, Capcom seemed insistence to keeping SSF4:AE to a 6 month window (much to Ono's annoyance), having SSF4 at home and SF 4 on cabs for a year wasn't pleasing operators any and AE was the push to win them back (alas, while making enemies of players/consumers here for the release of AE).

So much did XII change things for SNKP, that they had to make deals with Konami to act as the publisher for the arcade release of XIII. Likely done to make it so that operators felt that they had a little more "security" when it came to committing to another investment to buy the hardware. 
Oh, that is bad. But that also explains why '98 Ultimate Match Final Round was made for NasicaLive. Just case XIII failed, operators would have something to look forward to and keep the cab running, something that I am sure they got an earful of when XII failed in the market.

So, yeah, the whole XII episode stands as arguably one of the "worst case scenarios" in this vein. Even so, I'd like to think that FB and Ecole wouldn't turn a blind eye to that much, seeing how UNIB represents their own first foray in HD, and that much of an investment is expensive as it is. Sega may be looking out for their interests, but FB, especially, has to be considering their own stake in their future.
This is part of the reason to why one manufacturer "to rule them all" is not a very good thing for a market. Basically, Tatio makes all the rules at the moment and if something fails... it does so hard and Tatio has no incentive to do anything about it. With Sega around with a few high profile games in the pocket, Tatio is forced to compete and keep games from failing too badly.
As to the Indie/Doujin developer trying to make it in, I would be hard pressed to say that it's good for them that the chooses remain narrow.

Well, as far as FB/Ecole goes... we'll see where they take the game once made. As much as I speculate, there are still a few things that would randomize what happens. Given the MBAACC 1.07 PC release with Carnival Phantasm, I am not sure what  will happen (didn't see that one coming) with UNIB. That said, at worse it's an .EXE that they can dump on NasicaLive/ALL.net when they need to. And really, Sega does have a price advantage on Tatio with hardware... with that in mind, a good game to watch at the moment is Chaos Code... which happens to be a Ringwide-game, if response about the cabs are good then it would likely do a lot at Sega's end of things. And to be honest FB would have to be watching.

Don't know if I like that they're adding a character with flight into the game. Not sure if it currently drains meter fast enough, and with 300 meter (or max heat) to work with, that character could float for quite some time.

I can't go beyond speculation, but I imagine that if there's going to be a port, it'll be for the PS3. FB has said before that they don't have much interest in porting things to the 360 (at least for Melty), so it's more likely to hit for the PS3. As for where as in localization: I have no idea.

That or it lands for the PC, since they seem to be defaulting to that for the comparable ease-of-creation.

Ok, that one is harder to say and the reason that I say that is, simply put, circumstances of Japan and the hardware it's currently on. I am rather sure that they want to port to the PS3. Given that it's distribution in Japan is large, why wouldn't you want to put yourself in large company that the PS3 has. The problem is that given that the system itself is Window-based, the likelihood of the graphics being dictated by DirectX 2D/3D is rather high. Almost all Sony systems tend to use OpenGL (or in the PS3's a subset of that in OpenGL ES) for graphical draw, conversion between the two is... painful. Not that it's impossible... but it is difficult.
If they are going to do (port to the PS3) that expect a wait on release...

As for where as in localization: I have no idea.
You know, something like that it going to have to capture the interest of publishers here. Given how things have thinned out in North America, that is possible... the bigger question is whom will do it?


That or it lands for the PC, since they seem to be defaulting to that for the comparable ease-of-creation.
Again, Windows-based hardware.... They need to do very little for a PC release (or nothing at all, the Type^2 and Ring-series both happen to be... a large PC to be honest, spec-wise).

Atlus USA would be interesting, I have been really liking how they handle properties like Catherine and King of Fighters 13. Hopefully, if KOF gives them the proper marketing channels.... UNIB would not be a bad fit, since there would be some overlap. It's not going to be as big as say, Street Fighter, but with games like UNIB, they don't need to be.
Alas, I don't know much about NIS to have an opinion.
Aksys.... hard to say. BBCSE will have them rather busy and it's rather likely that they (unless Atlus JP plays it close to the chest) will be working on localizing Person 4: The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena. That said, it's not unlike them not to snap up an non-mainstream fighter before... Arcana Heart 3, springs to mind, as one. We'll have to see, but to be honest... I would be wary of any interest that they give off for the title, since Aksys has ups and downs.

Keeping up with the BB scene, CS is getting extended (again), and they're also working on this P4 thing. Id love for them to publish it, but I think there'd be delays, at the very least. Also, i just find the idea of French Bread working with the same guys that published "that hateful blazeblue" odd, lol.

Alas, I don't know much about NIS to have an opinion.

Yea Atlus does really well with ports, and they are really willing to work with anything. Specifically they love to go with deep, niche, games, which is why im not sure if they'd go for it. I'd love to see them handle it. KoF isnt really a mainstream fighter anymore (just my thoughts, dont kill me), and UNIB would give them an opportunity to make cash.
NIS is in the same wavelength as Atlus. They constantly take up japanese material, even stuff that doesn't suit mainstream tastes. Also (God bless them), they take purists into consideration and they usually add optional japanese voice overs to the US ports, even in larger scale games. Not that we'd have to worry about that here, but its a reason y I love them.

On the other hand? If French Bread and Ecole are indeed serious about having a port out in a timely fashion, they could opt to do like SNKP and start working on a console port in tandem with the arcade release, so that they could work out these issues sooner, rather later. I remember there was a lot of talk about this game having a substantial bit of "Visual Novel" aspects in the mix. Obviously, such things would be more appreciated in a port than they would in the arcades, where it's highly likely they won't even be seen by a number of players.

But, we'll see what happens sooner or later, right? In any case, we'll likely be waiting anywhere between 6-12 months after it starts its run in the arcades anyway, so the sooner the arcade release happens, the better!

Yeah, they updated the story and character sections. Two new characters. One is that summoner that we saw on their stream earlier, the second is a guy with a scythe who wasn't on that concept sketch from earlier.

After a little investigation of the screenshots it seems that the damage is lower than melty. Linne has a 14 hit combo that does 4k.

I'd like to point out that there are 5 slots left on the character section and 7 more characters in the concept sketch.

Doesn't mean anything, we don't how much health each character has and 4k is average-ish in mb for a bnb output, also remember c-arc with ridiculous 30-hit bnbs that do no damage.

In the combo against Carmine where Linne loses 100 meter? Seems more like an EX attack to me.

Looks like Waldstein is completely out of Seed gauge at 1:08 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eFpH_6ReWo&feature=player_detailpage#t=68s). He's being comboed though, so that doesn't actually tell us whether or not it was his guard getting broken. Just shows that the gauge doesn't automatically refill after it hits 0.

Damn it's been a good set of days, more on Skullgirls (been watching some Friday night fights with MIke Z and the other programming staff (http://www.youtube.com/user/SkullgirlsGame#grid/user/E093E6D255559351)), more on UNIB....



On the other hand? If French Bread and Ecole are indeed serious about having a port out in a timely fashion, they could opt to do like SNKP and start working on a console port in tandem with the arcade release, so that they could work out these issues sooner, rather later. I remember there was a lot of talk about this game having a substantial bit of "Visual Novel" aspects in the mix. Obviously, such things would be more appreciated in a port than they would in the arcades, where it's highly likely they won't even be seen by a number of players.

I am not so sure that having a "VN-like" aspects would go unnoticed in the Arcade setting, given that one of the bigger targets of UNIB is the MB-fanbase. Having that in the game once it hits the cabs is almost an expected, it would be hard to show it to the MB players otherwise.  But you are right, even with that... it would take more time to create into something more substantial for the Console/PC market (knowing that they would expect more the second that you say "Visual Novel").
The other thing that I would have to point out is I am not sure that FB/Ecole would want to miss out on the information that the arcade setting would give them to hammer out a port, I expect a decent release to cab but not perfect... alot of that data would help with balance changes to the system once the choice comes down to port the game. It would be hard to overlook that which is useful, PS3-issues be damned. The last thing that you want is a zero-day balance patch on release... that would be a bad sign.



But, we'll see what happens sooner or later, right? In any case, we'll likely be waiting anywhere between 6-12 months after it starts its run in the arcades anyway, so the sooner the arcade release happens, the better!

That we can all agree on.

Also does anyone else think that the "Seed" meter thing at the bottom looks kind of like guard primers?  ...lol, there's probably a lot of people that won't be happy with that statement.

GOD NOT THEM AGAIN! >:( Ugh, guard primer points... Ugh. There are some things that they could learn from BB, Guard primers is not one of them. >:(

Don't get too excited about that scythe, yet.  There are just as many screens up of Gordeau without his scythe out as there are with it, so it might be something that you have to command summon or only works for specific attacks, etc.  *shrugs*

Well, sure, it's geared towards MB players. But an arcade release is geared towards those arcade MB players who value the competitive aspects of the game, first and foremost. What content of that sort which may be present in arcade release will likely just be recorded and put on Youtube/Nico soon enough for people to enjoy, relish for a little while and then go back to playing Vs.

Having said that though, French Bread will probably be just fine doing what their rivals at ASW has been doing for a number of years now: have the full-fledged VN Story Mode reserved for the home release.

If the Persona fighter can have a breakdown like that, surely UNIB can do the same. 

But anyway, I like scythe dude. Can't wait to see him in motion.

Just a summary of the official website's updates and some character profiles. Still in Japanese but text form so you can google translate that if you want. Bad summary of what I got of the story,

In the year 20XX  :psyduck: it's widley accepted that science can disprove any strange phenomena in the world. However in later years rumors begin to emerge about 'Cannibal Shadows' aka UNREAL BLACK THINGS. If a human has his own shadow eaten by the Shadow, they become Night Hollows that forever wander the earth as dead zombie things.

Hyde's your typical sword-wielding Japanese highschooler. No real interest in trivial things and doesn't give a crap about some silly rumors of cannibal shadows, yet somewhere in his heart he yearns for excitement and adventure in his life. As luck would have it, one day while walking home from school Hyde encounters an UNREAL BLACK THING quickly approaching him. Linne, a girl on a mission, encounters Hyde by chance and saves him and they form a companionship to fight off the remainder UNREAL BLACK THINGS.

I am not so quick to push that off... for two reasons. First off, the competitive nature of the game pretty much comes with the genre. If you even dare call any game a fighter, then that is something that you have to take into account. And given how long MB has lasted in that environment, I don't think that FB would be shy about having that in the game.  So it bought that it would be so much of a worry.

Second, again... The MB fanbase is a little larger than the hardcore players. With another game from the same makers, you have to assume that they are some expectations with the release. Being somewhat "VN-like" would be one thing that MB had from way back. That said, what is in the Arcade release of it and the Console port are two different matters. It's a fighting game, so FB will only relay get away with so much before it detracts from the action... In the Arcade that line is much finer than for consoles. At best, it's simply going to be a strict "story" for the Arcades since the action itself has be to in people's eyes and upfront.


If the Persona fighter can have a breakdown like that, surely UNIB can do the same. 

But anyway, I like scythe dude. Can't wait to see him in motion.
We'll see what P4U does when it get out here, but I would somewhat expect that a bit.

Orie does look curious, I would like to see more of her in action.

They've already mentioned their heavy interest in ps3 port multiple times, I dunno why this is even being questioned.
They want to do doesn't mean that they will, and honestly.... After the "NESiCAlive speculation"....
I would question it.

You are correct, but overlooking one thing. A great majority of the MB fanbase = Type Moon fans. In fact, the main reason MB did a lot to gain ground as it did, was relying on Type Moon and its fans to help spread the word about what was a great game that served as a (almost) continuation to the Tsukihime storyline and seeing more of their favorite characters.

You know how BlazBlue struggled a bit at its outset (and still does, to some degree), because it's "NOT Guilty Gear"? I can't help but think it will likely be even harder for FB's new product, because in this case, there's no Type Moon branding. Visual Novel aspects in the mix for UNIB or not, it likely won't be compelling enough for those who just want more TM familiarity.

When FB decided to strike out on their own, they were also willing to give up that security blanket that came from having that TM license and die-hard fanbase. Admirable, in a number of respects, but it also means that they effectively have to start from scratch. In fact, a lot of what I've seen thus far showcases that the main ones hyped for this game are the ones who love MB because of it being a fun fighting game and less because of its connection to the "Nasuverse" or whatever. It probably is telling that FB markets UNIB the most at events where those types of people (re: tournament players) stand to be in attendance, in my opinion. Because if they can't sell the game to those players, who else do they have left?

It's not really starting from scratch when you've proven yourself to be able to make a game that stays in top 5 arcadia rankings for fucking ever.  Reputation is important.  They're an established company at this point, so they can venture into their own original IP without as much worry.  I think they're doing a great thing, and as long as they stick with the game to make it good, it'll be successful without relying on TypeMoon.

The (extremely blurry and very low quality) video of a stream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2q85ktvZrNw#t=498s) they had a while ago  put her as a Stand user. She was constantly summoning a large knight to fight alongside her.

I am going to be very sad if the UNREAL BLACK THING isn't a playable character. The name is just too hype for it not to be.

I wouldn't presume that much. In the time that I've been following their Twitter account, I distinctly remember at least Hyde taking what used to be Neco Arc's spot back in February around the game's unveiling. I wouldn't be surprised if others from the UNIB cast get their fair share, eventually (if they haven't already).

Gordeau's an invincible mercenary trying to stop his childhood friend Hilda from getting "Amnesia" (Spiral of Oblivion in Kanji)  or something like that.

Orie's an orphan raised by a cult an organization striving for world peace called LichtKreis (Halo in Kanji :\ ) after her parents were eaten by UNREAL BLACK THINGS. She's also under orders from the organization to get "Amnesia". Or more info on it anyway.

I don't think I'll mind, I like the way the stage looks.

This is the first time I've noticed that Orie leaves an after-image for that attack.

Personally, I think the stages are the weakest point, visually.  They look horribly dated and don't really have a visual style that compliments the sprites.  It's probably the only thing I don't immediately like.

Agreed, however I think the worst part is that they, much like a number of MB's own stages before them, appear so utterly lifeless. I mean, are we to assume these people are always able to fight in places where no person or animal happens to be nearby to watch the festivities? Nothing else EVER goes on while two opponents are fighting each other?  :laffo:

C'mon, FB. If your newest fighting game somehow makes SF2:WW's stages look absolutely vibrant in comparison, something's not quite right...
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren October 14, 2011, 02:06:40 PM
I'll admit that they aren't best stages I've ever seen. I'm used to BB stages, which are considerably more active than a lot of other FG stages I've seen.

Still, aside from the subway stage shown, I don't particularly mind the aesthetic of the backgrounds. I won't exactly be sad to use them.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Greg October 14, 2011, 02:16:31 PM
To tell you the truth, for the brief period of time where I tried playing BB, the backgrounds actually really bothered me. They're really too vibrant. It's hard to see what's going on sometimes with all of that flair.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...

Lichtkreis, yeah. The hell?

Also isn't it hard to fight with pumps?

On another note, if they are going for a new soundtrack, they better make some catchy tunes, and rock. The last thing I wanna hear is some hip hop in this game. But guessing from the first teaser the music is going to be good. They might even have some things up their sleeve since they don't have to rearrange old tunes for Melty :V

Also I expect animations to be awesome.

They had a2c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrba-D3LpC8) on board for Melty, I don't see there being any issues with quality.

If they can somehow get him and Number (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sFBPFzRfKA) 201 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfKTVbRvI04) to work together on something I think we'll end up with godlike music.

Yeah...definitely not what I had in mind. I meant more in the way of "continuing a trend".  ;D

But in any case, I'm sure Melty will probably stay around for a while. If nothing else, UNIB is looking to be an entirely different style of game from Melty, so I'm sure that will be more than enough reason for both games to be able to coexist alongside one another.

In case anyone is wondering, he's referring to the silhouettes now on the character page. Judging by the silhouette I think that the seventh character is going to be the Unreal Black Thing, Not quite sure about the eighth one.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce November 22, 2011, 10:17:19 PM
I see a big collar and a dumb hair in the silhouettes .  Unreal black thing wouldn't have either of those.  If anything, 7th will be the one from the far right of the old lineup with the elaborate clothing and big sword.  No idea who 8th could be though, but here's hoping for blade wing goth loli.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren November 22, 2011, 11:13:56 PM
Number 8 has an ahoge, so I'm gonna bet on winged goth loli or black and red girl two to the right of big sword dude in the old line up.

At least I think those two have ahoges, the picture is freakin' small. (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/images/diary/F/French-Bread/2010-07-07.jpg)

The hair(?) in number 7 reminds me of a guy with a 1950's pompadour hairdo. From the old character line up, I'm not entirely certain who that fits with.

I like that unreal black thing has his ability named after Jormungandr, the world snake of Norse mythos.  Makes it feel like a herald for the end of times and whatnot. 

Also Vatista (that name's not cute at all) has ability named Restriction and her weapon is the Crimson Wing "Nanaka".  Been had hype for loli with blade wings.  Her outfit looks like something from Tron though.  Actually, I shouldn't talk shit; she looks cool as hell.  I really like that kind of bold contrast style in general.  Seriously though, Tron loli with blade wings?  I'm going IN.

UBT... Merkava... Ok... I have nothing that I can really say about this one. He's going to be a wicked fight from the looks of it, all that range...

From what I know, they haven't mentioned anything about individual playstyles. All we know are from the trailer and the ultra low quality Orie vs Carmine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2q85ktvZrNw#t=497s) and Hyde vs Waldstein (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2q85ktvZrNw#t=432s) video.

Range looks crazy in this game. Linne and Gordeau look like short range characters simply because everyone else seems to be able to cover half the screen with a hitbox. We even got Waldstein punishing backdashes with his grab in the trailer... Depending on how balanced it is, this could either be really stupid or awesome to me.

And to be honest, I'm kind of hoping for frenchbread to go in a different direction than your standard anime fighter, but I can't say I'd hate it if it was.  I'm just hoping this game reinvigorates my desire to play fighters, cuz lately I have no solid interest.  =\

: Sahgren December 09, 2011, 09:55:20 PM
I'm not worried about balance in the long run; French Bread is awesome about that. I'm just used to the concept of the first installment being the least balanced, especially if they're trying something experimental as a whole or something new to them as developers.

Unreal Black Loli is pretty hype too, I guess.

I wonder how this will affect the zoning by movement/mobility (as opposed to zoning by using attacks) if everyone has so much range? Unless maybe the screen pans out when characters distance themselves or something, giving more room for people to jump, walk, dash, etc.

A video now would be nice...

At this point and time, I have been play some KOF. But outside of that, I have not really bothered with the usual suspects (SF, MVC). I think that I missed the boat on Street Fighter 4 to ever really catch up. And Marvel... so. much. salt.... I can't really play Marvel anymore...
I honestly doubt that FB will step out of it's anime fighter mould, but then again... this is their thing, who knows, they might experiment.
I don't think there's any real question about french bread's ability to balance a fighter.
Well, I would not say that they are subject to a free ride on the balancing either...

Regarding range, Melty was sort of all about range already. I think they're just extending the concept so everyone has normals on par with Ryougi, Wara, and Nero. However, with these huge hitboxes we also have to consider how much it extends their own hitbox.

Linne might actually have a bit of an advantage over characters like Waldstein because her hitbox is so small compared to the rest of the characters and probably doesn't extend much with her attacks. And of course Vatista will probably have a similar advantage. The difference between the two looks to be that Vatista will probably be a lot slower than Linne but have much larger attack hitboxes.


Edit: Also, Waldstein Wallpaper is up.

That does make me wonder how much of a factor character specific combos might be. Like a hitconfirm at a certain range on Waldstein wouldn't work against Linne/Vatista and the like.

Ah, the wallpapers. I don't mind them nearly as much when they're tagged on to actual updates. By themselves, they just get my hopes up for the sake of crushing them.

So.  Anyone notice that a character actually has very small weapons for once?  Like, everyone looks at Linne and thinks "oh, she's the short-reach speedster of the bunch" but she still has full on swords.  He has blue dragon priest knives.  They're very small.  Hope he can handle those hitboxes.

Anyway, thanks Erkz.  Your quick translations of the chara stats are fun to have.  The two new guys look pretty hype.

To be fair, I don't really think that much is their concern, at the moment. For right now at least, their main thing should be to generate an arcade release that is successful. Then they can feel free to worry about the consumer version, later.

Besides, the more time they take to mull over the consumer version, and insure such things like a quality netcode solution are in place? The better. Because short of FB swallowing their pride and getting ASW's netcode for their own console port, that issue will definitely be something I'll be wondering about.

2 more characters on my comparison list, right next to Carmine = Roa and Lynne = Ryougi.

Seth looks insanely cool. Like so badass its unfair to the rest of the cast.

He more than likely has some kind of ace-in-the-hole. I mean just look at Carmine. He has....his hands. But then footage shows him throwing blood crystals all over the place.
Seth more than likely has a more niche use for those daggers than just cutting people. Or he could just play like Ryougi :3

At this point hype is not a concern, it better for them to focus on each release as it's own thing at this point than try for a rather complicated staggered release window, like what you are suggesting. I would say that a six to nine month window between releases would be fine.... so long as the game itself is solid.

I am more than willing to wait for a good game.

Yep. It's one of the reasons I'm concerned about the Persona fighter. 3 months or thereabouts for an arcade run may get the game in the hands of consumers sooner, but the other shoe has to drop somewhere...

Anyway, the sooner we here about UNIB starting its arcade release, the better. I would like to be able to play this game before the Mayan calendar predicts that we'll all be eaten alive by UNREAL BLACK THINGS.  :V

I'm guessing the dragon floating next to Linne is like Gii floating around Rachel. IE: Probably just there for story purposes.

This is the first time it's ever shown up, so I could be very wrong about that.

I would like to be able to play this game before the Mayan calendar predicts that we'll all be eaten alive by UNREAL BLACK THINGS.  :V

: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 11, 2012, 12:10:35 AM
The older pictures showed that the enemy's SEED meter can encroach into your own, but it doesn't seem to be showing in this new set of pictures so far. I stand corrected. None of the pictures on the official site show this anymore. Must have been in the first trailer.

Also, based on this picture (http://am-show.sega.jp/aou12/lineup/unib/images/02b.jpg), for both sides, at the GRD meter, the first units closest to the centre are both consisting of plain solid colour instead of the normal highlighted design on the other units. Not only that, they are also filled more than halfway. My best guess is that they are filling up in realtime like how the Guard meter does now in MBCC.

Seems like Gordeau has Warachia's "extend fingernails" characteristic. (http://am-show.sega.jp/aou12/lineup/unib/images/04b.jpg)

And I like how they display the old and new damage. Easy to tell how much more damage a new move adds to the combo.

As far as I can read, the character bios under the character portraits are, yes you guessed it, incomprehensible Engrish. Although I do see something about Linne's elder brother.

The character select screen shows all 10 slots filled with the characters we know. But the official site has one more "Unknown" character slot in the Characters section...

They seem to have removed some graphical aspects of the game, comparing the new pictures with the ones on the official site, notably the round timer, the design of each victory point, the SEED and GRD meter units and EXS meter design (at the end of the meter). I don't know why I bother with menial observations like these.

EDIT: Did anybody else notice that GRD can be short for Guard?
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: UNREAL BLACK THING February 11, 2012, 01:02:24 AM
Its irrelevant now, considering that the GRD meter is clearly different, but i still wanna know wut the hell the SEED meter was. The overlap is gone now, I can't help but be curious as to wut that was.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Remzi February 11, 2012, 09:00:48 AM
For Linne it's something like this.
"She repents. For a conclusion with the source of old eternal cause and effect, and an older brother.
The sword for the first time in one for which it has searched long.
Encounter with the holder Conversion of the stagnant title.
Probably, the ripple shows the ??? of her tale soon."

Pretty much Engrish, outside of the idea that she has a brother.

Tried my hand at translating Merkava's (UNREAL BLACK THING MAN) character bio from the main site.

A mysterious man(?) who has the strikingly resembling form of darkness/nothingness/emptiness/the void. The thing that has the form of darkness/nothingness/emptiness/the void is an existence that transcends "false born things" (read as Inverse), the result of becoming a "reborn thing" (read as Reverse), many things with different natured existences but same interests, the persistent woman called "dazzling darkness", nowadays a little depressing weather is felt. (HELP ME)

Now, it is an empty night. Many Inverses are collected together, the "dazzling darkness" are felt to be planning something. Just as well.

He steps out to hunt in the night when the Inverses gather. To satisfy his hunger for flesh.

As you can see, I have a lot of trouble. If you want to have a go at it, right click the page and view its source code. The character bio is available there to be copypasta'd into a Japanese translator (or each character into a Japanese dictionary like how I did it).

EDIT: Some on Carmine too. Probably extremely inaccurate due to my sucky moonspeak skills.

A young man who paid the price of his own life force to manipulate his unique ability.

Always roaming the night. Now, the man he knocked out heard of the end of a group of ability users, "AMNESIA" downtown.

That man, on the verge of leaving, stayed, a "dazzling darkness" named Hilda. Then, that woman said she was the most powerful "fake born one" (read as Inverse). Carmine who heard this was overjoyed. There were other fellows who enjoyed rage. The reason to attack the organisation in ten minutes. (HELP ME)

it's just speculation but....at least by my eyes, mb have a lot of alpha 3 in the mechanics. The damange reduction by pressing buttons when the hits conect, the ex guard that restore guard meter and the 3 grooves are probably what makes me fell this way. Because of this, the first thing that come to my mind when i see this grd is bunkers or circuit spark breaking one of these blocks of guard meter and don't returning for a time or until the end of the round.

Some old news [January 27th?! How did I miss that?!] regarding the AOU show.

- AOU build is only 50% complete.
- Playable characters will be Hyde, Linne, Waren [sic. Maybe Waldstein?], Carmine, Orie and Gordeau.

There was something about a new character, but I'm not sure if it's referring to a new character to be revealed at AOU or if it's referring to Seth and Yuzuriha. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Do they mean that they're only halfway through finishing the build that they'll show at AOU, or that the game is only 50% complete?

If they have 50% content then they probably are closer to 75% complete because they more or less finished the programming portion of it.

Also keep in mind that demo builds are commonly branched off of the actual project. So, the project itself could have advanced further than the demo build shows.

Translated Seth's bio. This one went pretty well.

A young man whose identity is unknown, a "dark killer" (read as Assassin) feared by those who knows his existence. Seems to be acting under someone's instructions, suddenly appearing in front of a particular ability user to challenge him, for who or what purpose. Nothing is clear.

He hears of the name of the "night blade princess" Linne---. Upon hearing that name, the expressionless assassin's face turns dim.

Since that day, he, unordered by anyone, wanders the streets to search for the princess he has not seen.

Linne is pretty famous.

Shoryuken's (http://shoryuken.com/2012/02/05/french-bread-adds-two-characters-to-under-night-in-birth-website/) translation of Yuzuriha's bio. Considering how much longer the text seems in Japanese, I can't help but feel like they've left a bit out.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 12, 2012, 07:38:42 PM
As far as I can tell, the bios in the site consist of a simple overview of the character as a whole in the beginning, a back story prior to the game's setting and optionally followed by a description of what they are doing during the game's timeline, where most of the characters are "wandering the streets at night". That sounds like just the top part, but let me take a look.

If they have 50% content then they probably are closer to 75% complete because they more or less finished the programming portion of it.

Also keep in mind that demo builds are commonly branched off of the actual project. So, the project itself could have advanced further than the demo build shows.

Probably so. Demo builds are, in some ways, similar to anything else relating to programming and "milestone" builds, which usually just represent the game at a particular point in time (and hopefully compiles correctly, with no serious programming errors).

I'd like to think that by now, if they're serious about that spring date, every character that stands to be in the game is implemented by now. And now they're largely focused on balancing and whatever story-mode stuff they want to include in the arcade release.

Oh, I won't cry about it. It's just that I'm hoping that the sooner the game is released in arcades, the sooner the clock on that 6-9 month window of time for the arcade run will start and I can start having nice visions of this game being in my PS3 someday.  :V

That has the potential of being somewhat more reasonable since at maximum you could be looking at a 5-month wait. Still if they think that 3-months will be reasonable... that will be crazy to try to pull off without something game-braking cropping up.

hi
    lets do this shit
    UNIB SYSTEM
    EXS: your meter. supers are 100%.
    GRD: enhances attack/defense as it increases
    shield(back+d): different from MB's as it seems to push opponent back
    assault(fwd+d): think command dash. can be attacked from. uses meter.
    concentration(neutral d): charges exs.
    chain shift(d twice): your roman cancel. also converts EXS and GRD
    veil off(a+b+c): a sort-of heat. lasts 5 seconds, increases power, blows opponent off. may also work as a burst. makes it possible to use..
    infinite worth(?) can also be used with 200% EXS. your desperation super or w/e.
     
    throws and techs are 2 button. you can press buttons to reduce damage
     
    feel free to call me out on my fraudulent jp skills~

Command dash and IK instantly made me think HNK.  Good/Bad/Already Dead?

Big thanks for system update translation.  I didn't realize it from the quick translate notes, but chain shift converts ALL meter into grd.  Unless that's the only way to raise your grind bar (no homo?) it seems like that's kind of an unnecessarily good bonus to an already strong mechanic like roman cancelling.

Also apparently left out was the button configuration:
A=Weak, B=Mid, C=Strong, D=EXS (chara specific aka Drive)

Man, they're pretty shameless in just how much they are emulating BB.

Can anyone tell me wtf Vorpal mode is?  Is it just max GRD or some shit?  Or maybe not.  I just noticed the picture where it shows GRD VORPAL only has 5/6 stock.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren February 16, 2012, 05:24:47 PM
From one of the pictures, it looks like you spend GRD on "GRD Vorpal" attacks. So by "enhances offense/defense" do they mean things like EX attacks and blowbacks?

Do they mention whether you can do Veil Off when under block/hitstun or just in neutral?
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce February 16, 2012, 05:30:55 PM
Oh word.  You probably answered my question before I could ask it.  So instead of having ex attacks via meter, you instead burn GRD to do ex attacks?  If that's the case...I ain't mad at that.

It does specifically state that you CANNOT use Veil Off like a typical burst to get out of hitstun.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren February 16, 2012, 05:37:22 PM
Worth noting that that's just speculation. It looks like Hyde is doing an EX DP-esque move in the first gameplay picture, and it says GRD Vorpal with a GRD point missing.

I'd still like a translation to make certain I'm not giving people wrong impressions.

On Veil Off:
Ah, ok. Doesn't look like they have a typcal burst system then.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce February 16, 2012, 05:47:04 PM
Well, for GRD and Vorpal...they don't directly say what it is.  I can't be certain, but it seems like they just taunt the reader with something along the lines of "anyone keen enough should understand the meaning".  If it helps any, Vorpal's direct meaning is "Deadly", so assuming an EX attack actually makes sense in this instance.

But don't get it wrong, every level of the GRD meter does give you a definitive power boost in offense and defense, from what I can understand.  It's not only ex/blowback as you mused.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 16, 2012, 05:52:57 PM
Do note that the picture shows 6D to be a super jump, not just a regular command dash.

You need to have 200% EXS and in veil-off mode (call it V.O?) to activate your "infinite worth". Heck, even the text there pokes fun whether WAASU means "worth" or not. And they tell you not to tsukkomi them. But I'm guessing it's got something to do with the Inverse and Rebirth theme they got running in the story.

Throws are A+D. Still borrowed from Melty.

EDIT: Combos seem to do less damage here. In the first picture, Hyde does a 12 hit combo which nets just 2.8k, even with using that Vorpal thing. It's not to say that their total health is low either; the picture shows roughly less than a quarter of Linne's health gone, and 2.8k x 4 = about 11k like Melty. I hope it's just a demo picture for show and doesn't reflect actual gameplay.

Elements of the fight seem to go over the life bars, timer and damage indicator. We can see Hyde's sprite and his attack sprite go over the timer and Linne's health bar, and his Infinite Worth go over the combo damage numbers. Wonder if this will be an exploit for Waldstein...

I wouldn't assume that's a real combo.  Wait until it's playable and people start actually figuring shit out.  With shit like roman cancels and command dash/jump of sorts, I'm willing to put money on stupid absurd garbage combos showing up.  I really hope that combos don't last for ages and everyone dies after getting touched twice, but looking at the mechanics (and their obvious influences) I don't think that's a very realistic hope.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 16, 2012, 06:18:39 PM
There isn't any mechanic listed which seems to help you escape a combo like Burst, so gotta be prepared for long combos like UMvC3. The closest thing we have is V.O which is already stated to not help you in hitstun. However, I do remember in the beginning of the old trailer video, Hyde is comboing Linne on the floor and she manages to escape hitstun and start blocking, and even rolls on the floor forward to dodge. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eFpH_6ReWo&#t=13s) Of course, it's been a long time since then, so there's no clue if that mechanic is still around. Gotta wait for gameplay.

But... what if that Chain Shot roman cancel is doable in hitstun?
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren February 16, 2012, 06:22:04 PM
Unless you get a large amount of GRD per EXS meter converted and the bonus to defense from having extra GRD was a large one, I'm not entirely certain how Chain Shift/Romen Cancel would help while you're in hitstun.

Edit: Just wondering, but it looks like the D button is getting translated as both being used for character specific Drive/EXS attacks and for special commands like the command dash/jump, Concentration, and Chain Shift. Is there a mistranslation somewhere or am I misunderstanding how the character specific EXS work?

I can't say, but I imagine that it isn't exactly like BB Drive.  If I had to wager a guess, I'd imagine it encompasses both universal special commands and you can enter specific inputs for EXS specials/supers or something of the like.  But really, better than my useless guesswork, it's not far off that the actual reveal will happen, and hopefully we will see footage to give us some real answers.

I think the air dash might be that 6D assault mechanic since it seems you can do something similar on the ground too.

Anyway I love it. If I want to play a game with tons of jumping and air dashes and the whole 9 anime yards, I'd just play Melty. No reason to have another game just like it so I applaud FB's stance on making it different from what we're used to. I do hope there's Melty style hard knockdown though.

: BurstOfAnger February 17, 2012, 05:22:14 AM
I'm disappointed that the most mysterious characters aren't playable yet ie. UNREAL BLACK THING, Seth, Yuziriha, Vatista. And that there are no voices yet. Seems a bit rushed.

EDIT: Alright, time for my flurry of bordering meaningless observations:

-GRD bar starts empty in the beginning of the round and gradually rises, quite quickly too.
-This is really weird. Whiffing moves (supers only?) seem to give you EXS meter.
-Concentration charges up GRD only.
-You can activate Chain Shot (roman cancel) at any time you have GRD (though, not sure if only in combo or not), it'll start depleting from your current amount of GRD until zero and it gradually adds EXS during that duration.
-Some moves increase the enemy's GRD while some don't, and in general, your GRD depletes while eating a combo.
-Assault (6D superjump/command dash) costs 10 EXS. You can still do it without any meter at the start of a round.
-Shielding (4D) immediately gives you 4 GRD units. It's closer to BB's barrier and UMvC3's Advancing Guard rather than Melty's Shield. It doesn't seem to have recovery, but I think that if you get hit right after a failed Shield attempt (1:28), there's a penalty which includes halting your GRD meter from increasing and, oddly, decreasing as well, and also deducting 3 EXS. I hope that that's situation-specific, because 3 EXS doesn't sound very significant. GRD meter functions normally on the next successful Shield. Not sure if there are other conditions.
-I can't understand GRD Vorpal at all. Really, I can't. The most I can tell is that when you enter the mode (if it's even a mode), you start having an aura around you, and the GRD meter at the bottom flares for a bit. It might be negative too, seeing that the GRD meter seems to rise slower with Vorpal.
-OTG hits can relaunch, meaning that didn't take Melty's old OTG mechanics.
-Comboing into Infinite Worth (ultimate) seems easier than in Melty, considering that the ones in Melty each have pretty much specialised uses. Comboing into CS (chain shot) and then into IW seems like it's meant to be used that way. Still, it doesn't add that much damage. After a 14 hit combo which dealt 3.3k, Linne's IW adds about 500 more damage, while her earlier combo which started with an aerial attack did 15 hits and dealt 3.9k, but it ended with a shoryu instead of continued with an aerial combo, if that's in this game at all.Not entirely sure if its her IW.
-The combo damage indicator also highlights how much damage was deducted in red. Not sure if it's from button mashing or from proration, but most probably the former. But not only that! I must say this is a genius addition: Below the number of hits, there is a small bar which varies in length depending on the last hit. When this bar depletes, the enemy is free to tech. In simpler terms, it indicates the hitstun of the last move, showing you how big or small your window is to combo.
-2:59 groundtech. Similar to BB.
-Orie has about 12k health.

Anyone else notice that the OTG relaunch by Linne put Orie into some sort of spinning knockback launch, rather than a vertical bounce as mbcc does?

I really, really like that the game has taken a different direction than what they're familiar with (melty).  It's a lot closer to what I was hoping for originally that I realistically expected.  Hype level +2.

: BurstOfAnger February 17, 2012, 05:55:09 PM
I like how Waldstein is essentially a grappler character, but his damage output is like the other characters and still has to rely on combos. That's French Bread balancing for ya.

More observations:

-Carmine enters the round with white hair and bleached skin, then the red colour seeps in and he looks like how we know him. Wonder how this fits into the story.
-Even with his huge-ass figure, Waldstein still can Assault. lol
-Carmine's throw drains health. As expected from a blood user.
-It seems possible to bypass Shield's pushback, continuing pressure eventhough the first attack got Shielded. Or is this a bug? Could be from multi-hit moves? Linne vs Gordeau 0:57 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0ouiZG4AgA&feature=player_embedded&#t=56s)
-You can hold Shield for quite a long time, but hold it for too long (like more than a second?) and it starts depleting EXS.
-Waldstein has about 15k health. Damn.
-Announcements show normal Counters and High Counters.
-Orie's throw does 2.1k, Gordeau's does 1.2k. What a difference.
-Veil Off (VO) serves as a kind of infinite meter mode. It converts whatever EXS you have into a timer, more EXS=longer time. During the duration, supers take a chunk out of the timer, but it's only a little.
-Did Linne just do a charge move?? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0ouiZG4AgA&feature=player_embedded&#t=3m46s)
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce February 17, 2012, 08:37:50 PM

Waldstein's meterless SPD did as much damage as his super, lol.  Even with his super grab being a big question mark, I can only imagine it getting appropriately ridiculous.  It looks like frenchbread has finally made a real grappler.  I can think of at least 3 more people who will at least have some level of hype for this game now.

: Remzi February 17, 2012, 10:33:25 PM
Carmine seems awesome so far. Any guesses on his movelist? 236X would probably be the spinning sword toss thing he has. It might also be 214X, but that's less likely since very few companies use 214X for any type of projectile.

SPD == Super pile-driver.

I noticed that in the Linne vs. Gordeu match, when Gordeu uses Veil Off, his GRD gauge starts to encroach on Linne's side at 3:40. I may just be seeing things, though.

Regardless, I'm really liking the way the game looks at the moment.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 17, 2012, 11:08:03 PM
Actually, it seems to happen earlier at 1:40 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=v0ouiZG4AgA&#t=1m40s) and it happens again at 2:11. Seems like your GRD gauge is not limited by the centre marker at all. Not only that, at 2:59 Gordeau's GRD gauge goes through some sort of penalty and gets frozen from increasing and decreasing. After a successful held Shield, it still doesn't return to normal, unlike my previous observations. Only after about 10 seconds does it function normally.

EDIT: It's chipping on my patience to know what GRD Vorpal actually is, so anyone with good moonspeak skills, please lend a hand. Taken from the info site:

:
GRD(グラインドゲージ)
 あまり似たのは見ないバランスゲージ。作中設定ではGrind(ぐらいんど…研ぎ澄ます、みたいな意味)から、
 場における両者の気の満ち方、みたいなニュアンスで捉えて欲しい。
 このGRDを元に、一定間隔ごとに「どちらが優勢かの判断」が下され、
 優勢な方は「Vopal(う゛ぉーぱる …鋭いみたいな意味だと思いねぇ)」という状態になり
 攻撃力・防御力等でメリットが発生する。流れに乗って攻めろ。

The most I can decipher from that (from Google Translate) is that it occurs at set intervals, about every 14-15 seconds, and 7 times in a round (from videos). Each time it happens, it gives an attack and defense boost to one of the players, depending on how advantageous or disadvantageous they are at the moment. As far as I can tell, the first two times are granted to the advantageous player, the rest of the times are for the disadvantageous player. Please clarify?

SoBa updated with more footage (http://guardcancel.com/more-under-night-in-birth-footage/). Orie vs Carmine x 2.

Looks like Carmine actually hurts himself whenever he uses a special. On the other hand, it looks like he can control an amazing amount of space with blood wheels/waves/pits.

Edit: The specials that drain his health also leave behind pools of blood that he can use for more specials that don't cost health. Seems like he can skip the middle-man and lay down pools to go straight into the ground specials.

He seems to be limited to 2 pools at once.

I wouldn't really call it x2 'cos they're just separate rounds from the same match.

Carmine's playstyle seems more appealing now. He has really impressive zoning, coupled with the mechanic where you gain meter for every whiffed special (about 5 EXS); his meter gain is crazy! But the amount of damage he takes for using his specials is quite high. He can gain some of it back with his vampiric throw; I wonder if he has other vampiric moves.

Looks like Hyde has Hadouken,  Tohno/Nanya's DP, F-VAkiha's 236X, and what I'm tempted to call Ragna's DeadSpike.

Seeing as how he can combo into it, I'm guessing Gordeau has a c-grab.

I was about to say the same thing. He even has an EX version of it, so it's confirmed. But it seems to be a c-grab that doesn't give much; mediocre damage and relatively normal oki. Maybe Gordeau's the real grappler character. He has lots of moves with throw properties and they reach almost the entire screen! Also, anyone else notice that he always keeps one hand in his pocket and only takes it out for his c-grab?

Teching gives a boost of GRD, about half a unit or more.

It seems like even A normals OTG relaunch. I think instead of Melty's OTG system where selective moves relaunch, all moves relaunch now, ala BB.

Oddly enough, I haven't seen any indication of invalid hits. All combos in these videos can't be valid, can they? Found it. When the tech timer turns red, it's invalid.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce February 18, 2012, 11:57:44 PM
Gordeau's command grab depletes like 2 GRD from the enemy.  In essence, it's a free hard knockdown that weakens the enemy, and you can apparently combo into it from long range thanks to that pull-in scythe special he has. (I guess that means you can grab aerial opponents with it?)

Gordeau is pretty stylin.  Of the playable characters, he looks most appealing to play right now.  Can't wait for the others to debut.  I want Vatista action.  Also Carmne would be so bullshit if he didn't lose life with his specials.  lol.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 19, 2012, 12:32:51 AM
Holy crap how did I not notice the GRD meter! Thanks for the heads up. That sounds like quite a deadly move if GRD proves to be significant in increasing attack and defense.

EDIT: After checking the videos properly, it only removes 1 GRD. Also, I notice that at the start of some rounds, one player gains GRD faster than the other, but only sometimes. GRD seems like a really fragile and dynamic game mechanic...
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren February 19, 2012, 12:53:39 AM
It's looking like there isn't any special mechanic for encroaching on the opponent's half of the GRD bar. It's just that if a unit is empty, then either side is free to take it.

Gordeau's c-grab also seems to give him the GRD that it drains from the opponent.

Wald's damage seems low even on the supers, at least compared to the grapplers of other games. His Veil Off > Grab Super did 4.4k damage, which looked really high until I saw that Orie combo'd into her 200 meter super to add 5k.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 19, 2012, 01:03:25 AM
I agree, Waldstein's damage output isn't very grappler-like, meaning that he still has to rely on combos for proper damage output like the rest of the cast. That's something which French Bread did that I like; no bullshit half-health reversals.

Also, Veil-Off seems to remove ALL GRD of the opponent if they get hit by it. Waldstein did it to Gordeau.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce February 19, 2012, 02:22:34 AM
Wald's grabs also hit from quarter screen.  Would you really want a character with a super grab that hits instantly, from that kind of range, that does half health or more damage?  Besides, if you look at everyone's veil off, only Orie has that ridiculously inflated damage.  Everyone else seems around 4k mark.

Sahgren, are you sure about Gordeau's command grab giving him the drained GRD?  I was paying attention for that specifically, and I didn't see it.  The GRD loss happens when shoves his hand in, but he didn't get any GRD at that point, or at any time later in the move. 
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 19, 2012, 02:38:38 AM
That sounds like a long-range Kouma lol. But so far Waldstein's c-grabs are around 2k, even his super grab, and they all seem counterable. It's just his Infinite Worth that reaches 4k. For an ultimate move, personally I think he deserves that instant damage if not more.

I too saw Gordeau's c-grab drain that GRD into his own.

I'm thinking that the more GRDs you have, the longer it takes for it to naturally fill up.

It's looking like there isn't any special mechanic for encroaching on the opponent's half of the GRD bar. It's just that if a unit is empty, then either side is free to take it.

But it's not entirely free. It seems that GRD units encroaching on the other side slowly drain away.

As far as I can tell, when you're in GRD Vorpal, your GRD fills up slower. Even when in Concentration, it doesn't seem to fill up any faster.

Yeah, it's when he yanks his hand out. It's best seen in the Gordeau vs Waldstein video; the only problem is that the guy is spending a lot of time under the penalty that keeps him from gaining GRD, so it isn't happening at those portions.

Happens twice in a row here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsG1uI8fcDw&feature=player_detailpage#t=287s), at the end of round 3.

EDIT: It's chipping on my patience to know what GRD Vorpal actually is, so anyone with good moonspeak skills, please lend a hand. Taken from the info site:

:
GRD(グラインドゲージ)
 あまり似たのは見ないバランスゲージ。作中設定ではGrind(ぐらいんど…研ぎ澄ます、みたいな意味)から、
 場における両者の気の満ち方、みたいなニュアンスで捉えて欲しい。
 このGRDを元に、一定間隔ごとに「どちらが優勢かの判断」が下され、
 優勢な方は「Vopal(う゛ぉーぱる …鋭いみたいな意味だと思いねぇ)」という状態になり
 攻撃力・防御力等でメリットが発生する。流れに乗って攻めろ。

The most I can decipher from that (from Google Translate) is that it occurs at set intervals, about every 14-15 seconds, and 7 times in a round (from videos). Each time it happens, it gives an attack and defense boost to one of the players, depending on how advantageous or disadvantageous they are at the moment. As far as I can tell, the first two times are granted to the advantageous player, the rest of the times are for the disadvantageous player. Please clarify?
The japanese doesn't really explain much. Says that there's this GRD "Grind Gauge". At set intervals its judged who is winning on GRD gauge, and the leader gets "Vorpal" status effect, which increases "attack / defense / etc". "Rise on the momentum and attack".
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 19, 2012, 05:12:53 PM

: BurstOfAnger February 19, 2012, 09:46:19 PM
I didn't think of this the moment it was pointed out to me, but if GRD Vorpal is the one that grants the attack/defense boost, then it isn't every GRD unit that gives a boost. That makes more sense.

Which makes Gordeau all the more dangerous now. So far, in these matches, he almost always manages to have his GRD cross the middle line. Of course, they weren't proper matches per se, but still, it could be a valid strategy to keep stealing GRD to ensure you always have Vorpal.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren February 19, 2012, 10:23:27 PM
Huh, if it really is GRD Vorpal giving the offense/defense boost and not just a static bonus from GRD in general, then GRD seems less crazy. It's more worrying about having more than the opponent rather than worrying about every point.

Gordeau and his GRD stealing c-grab is just that more terrifying if that's true. It seems like it'd be really hard to take momentum from him if gets Vorpal.

Yeah, I really should've read what you said more closely. Sorry about that.

I can't really tell how much Vorpal has an effect right now, but it doesn't seem like very much. Orie having Vorpal rather than her opponent meant that the same combo do 2k instead of 1.9k. Oops, looks like it's more in the order of a 400 damage drop, from 2.4k to 2k, in between Orie having Vorpal and Linne having Vorpal. That's a bit more than I originally thought.

(What I'm assuming to be) A attacks also seem to prorate more strongly than in MB. One 2As lead into 2.4k per combo with Orie, two 2As lead into 2k, whereas 3+ dropped her damage to ~1.5k.


Three more videos. Ok, technically 1 match video and 2 videos of someone recording the standard demo play that occurs when noone is using the machine. We can still get info off of them.

Orie vs Waldstein and Orie vs Hyde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p8NbwD2DKI&list=UUzGM0FQ3MTpJhRYqZ1_S8Zw&index=5&feature=plcp)

I may have to rethink my assumption that 2As prorate more strongly than in MB. It may just be that GRD does just give a static bonus to offense/defense (like it was originally translated) and that's messing with the damage rather than the 2As.

Has this been linked? Orie vs Hyde x2 games.

EDIT: A revelation!!

From seconds 99 to 85, the damage counters do not show plus damage in blue nor minus damage in red. These are only shown after that time. And GRD Vorpal is granted for the first time at around 85 seconds.

Not only that, here is a sample of the combo indicator when Waldstein does his SPD on Orie in one of the matches while he is in GRD Vorpal:

1st hit: 840 damage (white) ~ 700 (white) + 140 (blue)

2nd hit: 2629 damage (white) ~ 2191 (white) + 438 (blue)

It seems that we've been mistaken all along. The damage counter doesn't show the damage from the previous attack + damage from the current attack to show the total damage dealt so far because obviously, if that were the case, the damage counter would show 2629 damage (white) ~ 840 (white) + 1789 (blue) instead. Therefore, I believe that the plus damage shown in blue is the damage bonus from GRD Vorpal! Not too sure about the red minus damage though. I still believe it's from damage reduction by mashing, because it only happens occasionally.

With that said, yes, GRD Vorpal does add a significant amount of damage. About 20%. That's not something to scoff at.

Impressions of the AOU build. (http://gadget.itmedia.co.jp/gg/articles/1202/20/news025.html) I don't think there's anything new here, but just in case.

What I got (via Google Translate) from it:
-Veil Off requires that you have at least 100 EXS to start.
-Throws are A+B instead of A+D. No shield/tech OS like in MB.
-Seems like you need a CH to OTG someone... or something. They say that Orie and Gordeau in particular want to fish for CHs. Uncertain about this; I'd appreciate it if someone else could translate.
-Feedback is largely positive.
-Something about "Fukitobi Return" and "Passive Slam". I'm not quite certain what those are.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 22, 2012, 08:23:48 PM
I think "Fukitobi Return" is teching/recovering because it says something about moving the lever (stick) and pressing a button and "Passive Slam" is damage reduction by mashing because it mentions pressing (and holding??) buttons on the "slammed moment" by Google translate.

Damnit, throws are gonna confuse me since A+B is dash in Melty.

It seems that only Linne can double jump. Other characters compensate by jumping higher and staying in the air longer than her. Even Waldstein O.O This is false.

Hyde can detonate his hadoukens. If it hits the opponent first, detonating it gives more hits.

And apparently Waldstein's running c-grab can OTG AND grab airborne opponents. Holy. Crap. At least they have to be quite low to the ground...
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Sahgren February 25, 2012, 06:28:38 PM
It also automatically corners from anywhere on the screen. On the plus side, it looks pretty terrible on whiff; he continues until he hits the edge of the screen regardless.

He also has Gadget Finger Headbutt oki. Considering that this game seems to have hard knockdowns, I wonder if it gives him even better frame advantage then.

Doesn't seem like you can jump cancel air attacks. They really don't want air combos in this game.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 25, 2012, 08:34:55 PM
Headbutt oki? You mean the move where he picks up the opponent from the floor? That move didn't seem to give so many +frames. Also, the game has another character state other than knockdown. Some moves that slam the opponent down cause them to "trip" and make them land on their butts. Then, they stand up automatically a little after. It's more like an extended hitstun to me, personally. Waldstein's heabutt grab caused that "tripping" state too and Linne got up at the same time when Waldstein recovered from it. So I'm thinking that maybe the headbutt is cancellable into other normals or specials, like a command throw.

I don't think this game has many hard knockdowns. There have been cases where players teched out of moves that seemed to cause hard knockdown (Orie's throw for example. It's been teched out before) so I think the players just mistimed their techs. I'm still not sure if the ground-shattering animation really is an indication of a hard knockdown. Maybe for a hard groundbounce, because characters can tech when they're on the floor after the ground-shattering groundbounce.

Seeing that other characters can't double jump in the first place, they can't jump cancel their air attacks I guess. Not too sure about Linne though, but I don't think she can either. In fact, when she jump-cancel's a ground attack, she jumps higher than her jump in neutral, about as high as the rest of the cast, which is roughly as high as the health bar. This is false too.

Also, not sure if it's been properly said, but Veil-Off can be done in the air and your GRD increases more quickly.

Where does Linne double jump?  I've seen Orie wall jump, but don't remember seeing any double jumps besides the universal meter dash/jump.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger February 26, 2012, 03:08:50 AM
Orie can wall jump? I certainly missed that one...

Linne's done it a few times in various videos. Like for example here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqU0-Wzhfsw&list=UU7bMo_tOP47uUmHinKXsteg&index=1&feature=plcp

At 0:23, at 1:54  (there's more dust than normal when she jumps, it could be an instant double jump),

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R810C47YUaM&list=UU7bMo_tOP47uUmHinKXsteg&index=2&feature=plcp

at 0:19, 0:43 and at 2:25 (she does it right after a tech, I'm sure of it). And I'm sure it's not the angled air-dash Assault because those have sound effects, while these jumps are silent. Now that I think about it, there's a possibility the rest of the cast is capable of it and I just didn't see them do it. Too lazy to load and sift through all the videos though.

And I'm wrong about her jump being shorter than the rest of the cast. It was the camera zooming in and out that tricked my eyes.

Sahgren had it spot on with the Tager Gadget Finger reference.  It's a move that pulls into a standing position with neutral frame advantage.  It's useful for grapplers because it forces them into a mixup situation.  If your opponent tries to mash, your SPD throw will probably beat it for free; if they try to jump, you have an anti-air grab you can catch them with; if they try to backdash, you can punish with something longer range.  For Wald, I think he can probably even catch backdashers with his SPD, just because of the absurd range of it.  (Btw, anyone notice that Wald can use his SPD in the air?)

And thanks for the video reference for Linne's double jump.  Looking back she does it pretty frequently, I guess I just never really took notice of it. 

So, I noticed something important to note about roman cancels.  Link for reference. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqU0-Wzhfsw#t=0m44s)  So earlier I had misinterpreted that when you roman cancel, your meter used goes into your GRD.  Turns out I had it backwards.  You burn one GRD node to activate the roman cancel, then all of your remaining GRD drains into your meter.  Judging from what Linne gains in meter (minus the meter gains from her projectile), it seems that each GRD node drained this way will give approx 15 meter.  Important mechanic to abuse for meter heavy characters.

This closer examination of meter gain also made me notice that you gain meter from whiffing anything, including normals.  I'm not really happy about that.

Thanks for the explanation on the BB reference. I don't play that game enough...

Could it be possible that Waldstein's SPD only works when the opponent is an exact distance away? About right where his hands clap? I don't think I've seen him execute it point-blank. It would be good news if it's true, though unlikely...

So, I noticed something important to note about roman cancels.  Link for reference.

At least GRD gain is quite easy; a successful Shield instantly gives you 3 units and teching gives you about half a unit or less. I'm not too sure about it, but I think Veil-Off boosts your GRD regen rate (it happens in that link as well), so it could be possible to do an endless cycle of gaining meter through Chain Shot (roman), then using that meter for VO to get that GRD back, adding to the fact that VO gives you almost infinite meter for its duration.

This closer examination of meter gain also made me notice that you gain meter from whiffing anything, including normals.  I'm not really happy about that.
I noticed this a long time ago and put it in my long list of observations. Guess it was tl;dr ;_;

I'm not too sure about normals, but specials give about 5 meter each whiff. Though, I have seen sudden increments of 2 meter when they whiff moves, so that could be from normals.

(http://d.hatena.ne.jp/maidskii/20120218/1329591324) Not a lot we don't know already, but they seem to say that defense seems strong in the game thanks to how powerful Shielding is. On the other hand, they also mention that they didn't have enough time to fully explore whether offense in general is strong enough to balance that or not.

Me, I like offense oriented games, so I wouldn't mind if they toned down Shielding if it really is strong like the guy says.

In my opinion, Shielding is also an offensive strategy since it gives GRD. To really utilize it, you keep Shielding to collect GRD and get that 20% damage bonus GRD Vorpal gives. So you have to change from defense to offense after Shielding. But then, maybe giving 3 GRD units in an instant per Shield is too much because I've seen matches where two successful Shields already bring your GRD gauge to encroach in the opponent's.

This closer examination of meter gain also made me notice that you gain meter from whiffing anything, including normals.  I'm not really happy about that.
I noticed this a long time ago and put it in my long list of observations. Guess it was tl;dr ;_;

I'm not too sure about normals, but specials give about 5 meter each whiff. Though, I have seen sudden increments of 2 meter when they whiff moves, so that could be from normals.
I wasn't trying to belittle your discovery, just adding to it.  Last I remembered, you mentioned that whiffed specials gain meter.  If it were just specials that gave meter in this way, it would have been okay.  That's pretty common and not very easily abusable.  Whiffing normals for meter leads to some dumb behaviors popping up for milking meter gain at every opportunity.  It's not even like meter gain in this game is slow either, with so many ways to build it up.

There's a lot of offensive oriented mechanics available to the players, but yeah, if defense is that strong it leads to boring and stagnant gameplay.  Here's hoping that they tone down shields a little, even just lower/remove the GRD gain would make it more risk vs less reward.  It's punishable, right?

If it is, they aren't doing it. It does however look like unsuccessful shield attempts will freeze your GRD gauge and holding it costs meter (not a lot, but some). I guess we really will have to wait and see how everything pans out as people figure out the game more.

Punishing Shields is basically the same as guard breaking. If you try to low Shield a high attack, that's where you get punished. I don't think Shielding has any recovery, so it's like Barrier in BB; a stronger type of blocking rather than a parry.

I didn't notice that it removed meter when you get GRD frozen. What I'm guessing is that the penalty to Shielding is that if you fail, you get GRD frozen and that causes you to be ineligible for GRD Vorpal, regardless of how much GRD you have. If this isn't the case, then FB better rebalance Shielding; at least reduce the GRD bonus.

Given the pace of UNIB currently, I don't mind a strong defence with a fast pace game behind it. It's something that has bugged me with BB for a while is that the defensive options seemed slim or weak compared to GG. Having it the other way around would be a nice changed... but we will see, since now comes the fine tuning of the game before release.

Now there's an offical video page (http://inbirth.info/movie.html) along with Seth (http://inbirth.info/chr_set.html) and Yuzuriha (http://inbirth.info/chr_yuz.html) screenshots. The loketest last week reportedly went well (http://inbirth.info/topic0025.html), but we don't have any videos to go along with it.  :gonk:

Heh, looks like when Waldstein gets the momentum, he keeps the momentum. There're resets into the anti-air c-grab and abusing the timestop from Chain Shift to use it as a straight AA in neutral.

Looks like there's a lot of tech punishing in this game.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger March 02, 2012, 05:53:26 AM
Hohoho... Well then, time to put my observation cap on again.

Seth and Yuzuriha screenshots seem... disappointing. We already know that they use blades, but the screenshots just show them doing slashy slashy things, which we already know they can do. Was kind of hoping for something unexpected. Also, the newest screenshots show the tech-timer, while the other characters' screenshots don't. That's inconsistency on French Bread's part.

And what is this?? Vatista has TWINTAILS??? (see Yuzuriha's last screenshot)

Now to the videos:

Waldstein vs Carmine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=986QLcjEv3I&feature=g-u&context=G20b192cFUAAAAAAABAA

0:17 - Seems like you can shield while under blockstun, like a bunker. Hope that that's really easily punishable. If it's easy to do without penalty, I'll never be blocking and Shield all day long.
0:43 - Gadget Finger hits air. Heck, ALL OF WALDSTEIN'S GRABS HIT AIR.
1:13 - I see an Auto Recover. Wonder what it is? Carmine even techs again when he touches the floor after the Auto Recover.
1:47 - Seeing how Waldstein moved left and right before doing his bodyslam crusher super throw, I have reason to believe that the input for that is a 360.
Overall video -  Holy shit, Waldstein has really crazy ways of comboing. Almost all his grabs can be followed-up, as if they were just normal moves. But thank the heavens, his damage output really is low, barely breaching 2.8k per combo. Seems like French Bread wanted to make a grappler who had lots of options and opportunities to fish hits, but balanced it out by giving him a low damage output.

Linne vs Waldstein
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnEAHqZeJA&feature=related

0:20 - Linne can dash cancel her air slash projectile move. Not sure if she can dash cancel other moves. Doesn't seem to cost anything, not even meter.
0:27 - Here we go! Linne actually can double jump cancel her air moves, ala Melty.
0:28 - Waldstein Auto Recovers. And he does it again.
0:38 - Here, we have a really cool rejump reland combo. Probably is character specific, given Waldstein's massive size. But seeing that the rest of the cast are quite large too, maybe this could be a BnB...
0:52 - Linne throws Waldstein just after his jump. It removes 2 GRD units from Waldstein.
0:59 - Not sure if she dash cancels her super, or she recovers quickly to dash forward. And maybe getting your GRD to encroach into the opponent's side isn't so free after all because Linne fiercely combo'd Waldstein, but her GRD remained at 6 units.
1:27 - Again, a rejump reland combo. Could be a BnB.
1:58~ - Waldstein's GRD meter starts increasing dramatically and encroaches into Linne's side while blocking for no apparent reason.
2:01 - Dash cancelling mid-blockstring into throw. Is throw protection in blockstun not in this game?
2:10 - That was definitely a charged stab. Overhead?

Hyde vs Linne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWefBpAd16I&feature=related

Didn't hear this music before.
0:18 - Hyde's knee knocked Linne over and she landed on her butt. Follow-ups put her in a crouching state. Also, I'm wondering if it's the bonus from being the main character, because his simple combo got 3.4k after reduction, while Waldstein's seemingly bone-crushing grapples can't even break 3k.
0:28 - Again, 3.2k after an anti-air air counterhit. This time with Vorpal, so he's getting a 20% damage bonus.
1:01 - 4.6k with Vorpal and an uppercut super.
1:14~1:20 - Hyde does a Chain Shift in neutral for no apparent reason. Then, he gets hit. This causes the Chain Shift to end, immediately stopping his meter from increasing and his GRD immediately hits zero. After that, his GRD increases really rapidly. Then, while he's blocking, he suddenly flashes a little as he exits blockstun, and he loses about more than 1 unit of GRD. Is this a defensive penalty that we've missed out all this time?
1:26 - Combo into Infinite Worth for 5.5k. However, it seems that Veil Off gives a damage bonus as well, making it not completely useless. In fact, it's about a 44% damage boost. BUT, that percentage seems to lower after time, as the last hit of his crimson tornado seems to get only a 30% damage bonus.

Overall from all videos:
-Can't seem to understand the criteria to cause an Auto Recover. Seems to happen only in the air. Maybe if you spent enough time in the air without getting hit, you'll Auto Recover. When you Auto Recover, instead of being in the state of getting hit in the air, you enter your regular falling state. Maybe you fall faster, I can't really tell. Also, you can tech when you touch the ground, so maybe that's to give you full control of which direction to go towards once you land after an Auto Recover.
-The players seem to be randomly Chain Shifting in neutral, even when they already have full meter. Not sure if this gives any benefits. If any, it's giving a disadvantage to the player. Chain Shifting causes your GRD to be locked and constantly drained no matter what. More explained below:
-Apparently, when your GRD gauge gets frozen, you immediately exit Vorpal. Meaning, when you get punished for a bad Shield or you do a Chain Shift, if you are currently in Vorpal, you will lose it. While your GRD is frozen, you are ineligible for Vorpal, so it automatically goes to your opponent, given that he/she's not under the same penalty.
-I suddenly realized it... 6D is for Assault, 4D and 1D are for Shield and DD is for Chain Shift... So what does 5D do?

Burst: Linne doesn't grab Waldo out of blockstun.  You see him stop blocking just before she grabs him.  There's no way they would allow throwing someone in blockstun. 

Also, the auto-tech is just the safe recover after the untech bar depletes.  Apparently you can still grab people out of that shit though, making for some nasty resets.  It looks like Waldo has a lot of untapped potential as far as combos, but instead was playing heavily for resets (and boy was it paying off, holy shit).

Ah yes, I forgot about Concentration. I know that feel bro, paying attention to the GRD bar has me confused, and seeing Waldstein's gameplay has my jaw dropping the whole time.

Ah, guess I didn't pay enough attention. There's no game that lets you throw in blockstun after all. Dangit, also didn't notice the tech-timer in relation to Auto Recover. I think it's just a change of state from being air-hit to falling animation. But seeing that it's something you can't really control, that could really be exploitable by the opponent, as shown by Waldstein. Unless of course, like Half Moon Circuit Spark, you're completely invulnerable when falling after an Auto Recover.

I think Waldstein's combos themselves consist of resets. Those follow-up throws don't seem avoidable at all O.O We haven't seen if you can control the direction of air-techs or not, but even if you can, his arms are so huge, he can just pick you out from the sky from anywhere.

And, just for the record, Waldstein is pronounced wa-REN-stein for some reason.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce March 02, 2012, 10:23:10 PM
Yeah, someone pointed that out as soon as the site had character pages.  You also have it in your signature.  Furthermore, basically everyone here can at least read kana and has heard his name pronounced in the videos.  I think it's pretty safe to say that you can consider my calling him Waldo as 100% intentional for ironic humor purposes, rather than ignorance. 

"Where's Waldo!  Oh...nevermind, he's like the whole screen."

Way to kill the joke, chief.

Well, that doesn't make much sense. Detonating it is just doing 236A or 236B when a fireball is already out.

Maybe 236B has a larger detonation?

If I'm reading this correctly, then holding the second 236A would stop the fireball's forward momentum until you release it? That'd be pretty nice for oki purposes if that's true.

I have to wonder if the animation where he goes through an animation to make the fireball explode is releasing BE236A, 236B, or both. Also looks like he can activate the explosion even when the fireball is going through its auto-explosion from touching the opponent.

Holy fuck at Seth's movement.  He has some similarities to Orie, but more exaggerated.  He also has a projectile, which is good.  Lol, he even has the token fake out dash where three of him move in different directions and only one is real.

Yuzu looks like she might have an iai stance she can do various things from.  Also much less range than what I expected from that big ass sword.

The unreal black thing has massive range, as expected.  He has some level of limited flight, in essence some sort of command rejump it looks like.  Also he has a silly looking blanka bite command grab.

Vati...is looking pretty zzzzoner.  Fireball, beams at varying angles, flash kick, good backdash.  *shrugs*  I'm kind of disappointed, really.

Also somehow I didn't realize that Carmine's pools stay out even if he gets hit.  Also I think I saw Linne relaunch someone after her big spinny sword super, which is completely unnecessary.  lol

i think a effect of mist (like sion stage) has been adeed to  rooftop stage. I think i have seen new objects in the background that looks like modernism street too.
i liked the new scenario at 13:08 and the other at 33:22 (it's a shame they have a little problem in conection at this point)

: Sahgren March 23, 2012, 05:44:05 PM
Seth's fireball is scary looking. It seems to leave behind a small explosion when blocked for a free pressure reset and can be angled forward, downward, and upward depending on your zoning needs. Also looks like his 3-way fake out has the fun fourth option of him not being any of the shadows and ending up where he originally was.

Yuzuriha's attacks look annoyingly fast, but I'm with Loli in that she has less range than expected. Part of me still expects to see people playing keep-away with her though.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger March 25, 2012, 07:42:48 AM
I don't know, but I feel Yuzuriha's attacks to have quite a long startup. Also, I think Seth's fireballs have to be manually detonated like Hyde's because sometimes on hit and on block it doesn't detonate.

I'm finding Vatista to be really scary. Instant beams and orb setups. If her beams had Neko's startup, maybe it would be okay, and if her orbs had limited range, it would be okay too, but I still think she's scary.

This game seems to be laden with lots of anti-air attacks. Yuzuriha's jumping rapid slash seems to have quite an odd usage for being so high up. Seems to work best on standing opponents, but seeing how tall the cast is, that shouldn't be an issue.

EDIT: The stream seems to mention issues like why there's no Ryougi stage in MBAACC, but that's as much as I can understand. Anyone with good moonspeak prowess paid attention to the conversation?

This is a quote from mirror moon "Ryougi's stage is actually still in the PC version. I'm not sure if there is a proper way of unlocking it (I'm assuming you probably need to finish the game with all characters or something), but you can also unlock it by using a trainer which you can find here."
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger March 26, 2012, 04:14:17 AM
So it really is legitimately included in the game. In the stream, I think a fan was asking them why it wasn't included, and they mentioned something like "It's... an adult's problem" or something, but I couldn't really tell. Maybe they mentioned a real reason, but I don't know.

Also, I think Seth's fireball detonations are purely aesthetic. It's very apparent at 1:02:44 where the blue fire rages all the way until Orie hits the ground, and the hit counter doesn't go up.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...

It could provide a temporary effect outside of just extra hits/damage.  It's not uncommon to see things like hits that poison, prevent someone from blocking, lock buttons, slow movement, prevent guard bar increase, etc etc.  It's possible that the visual effect is some sort of disable.

And personally, Vatista looks like she needs more to really be a good zoner.  Her fireballs can be jumped over or even dashed under by some characters, her beams are just a guessing game of jump in vs dash in, and her shoryu is crazy unsafe.  She's like shoto status but with less options.  Her backdash isn't even as good as Orie's for running away.  zzz

I think I saw Vatista charge herself with lightning at around the 40:30  mark. Thanks to the quality though, I'm not entirely certain about that though.

Thanks for the conversion to .flv, caiooa.

Edit: Scratch that. Looks like the screen just flashed when Vatista briefly went into Concentration. Why oh why can't they just use streaming equimpent instead of webcams...?

It's French Bread's unorthodox method of building up hype I guess.

Only way to really tell what that fireball does is actual viewable videos or even better, the actual game.

By the way, exactly what are those recordings? They seem to be replays, but by who? The recent loketest or did the developers play the game to record footage for this stream? Or just AI fooling around?

^ The reason why there's an extra slot now. They're probably just joking about making Orie the main heroine instead of Linne due to her popularity. They even replaced Linne with Orie in the site's main banner and removed all the screenshots featuring Linne.

P.S. Can anyone do a quick translation of Hyde's, Orie's and Waldstein's profiles? I wanna see if they changed those too.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger March 31, 2012, 08:37:23 PM
Holy crap, how could I not notice Linne's absence.

About their profiles, Hyde's profile mentions Orie instead of Linne now. Wald's still mentions the Yato and the Yato Princess which were originally Linne, but doesn't mention Linne directly. Orie's doesn't seem to have changed.

EDIT: Aha! A mistake by FB! In Hyde's profile, Linne is replaced by Orie except for this one line. Originally "Since then, Linne stays at Hyde's place", it is now "Since then, Linne stays at Orie's place". Also, Wald's profile does indeed mention Linne at the end.

So close...

I personally don't think it would work for Waldstein, maybe Gordeau.

Maybe, I would need more details of Gordeau to say for certain.
 
: Q&A
"How old is Hilda?"

Hilda - Amnesia's Hilda is 17 years old.
Gordeau - Hey!

Voice actor joke?

Hmmmm.... Kikuko Inoue? That joke sounds like one of hers...

if theres a playable loketest version or the game is out in arcades by august, I'll let you guys know what i think of the game when i visit jp

Hmmm... Cool. And thank you.

The announcement of the comeback mechanic.  :emo: (I mean besides the one where you're good at the game)

I don't mind comeback mechanics so long as they don't give the losing player a huge arbitrary advantage while doing so.  So long as they are not arbitrary, and limited to players own actions.... (P4U's Awakening, SxT's Pandora, etc.), it's not as bad as most players have thought. That said, it's a matter of building these things with that in mind... giving the losing player a chance at making "the comeback" and not become this large red "I win, you lose" button.

And as the industry has shown quickly, this is something that is too easy to get wrong.

Looks like the pushblock is probably the biggest comeback mechanic alongside the unlimited meter activation.  I'm hoping that what we saw in the early loketest holds true and pressure isn't as dumb as modern anime games.  Most people have some amount of big normals or zoning potential, so hopefully the neutral game is a little more emphasized as well.

- Hyde's last name is Kido
- Orie is a class-chairman type character
- Vatista has forehead lasers
- Waldstein uses his claws to cook [and Hyde's selling them for 8100 Yen]
- Gordeau's 'weapon' is pretty long, according to Yuzuriha

Xfactor let's go

Ok, X-factor(as of Ultimate Marvel) is rather weird on that argument.... on one hand, it's completely reliant on players actions, you still have to know the character and the combos to really make any use of it. But that said, that is really it's only limitation. You don't have to earn it during the course of the fight, the bonuses that is gives are substantial (even as lvl 1,  X-factor with any long combo can kill a character outright...maybe two, even then the speed-up still has it's uses), and there is no real penalty for having used it (sure, you lose  X-factor as a random variable in the fight but that is really it. If you know the character and/or the match-up, you can more than compensate for that loss).
In many ways, Pandora is built on the same principles as  X-factor save for one thing.... you are given a heavy penalty for simply using it and not putting it to good use.
So on one hand,  X-factor fits somewhat by simply being defined by the player and their actions, the problem being that  X-factor is built to be giving the player an arbitrary advantage by being freely given, having really high bonuses even at lower levels, and using it is at no risk to the player (the lack of penalty). Where as Pandora is a gamble to be made with the heavy penalty for use and Awakening is only something that applies at 25% of vitality (and even then, it's changes defensive properties, gives one extra super of varying usability and extends maximum special points are not really big bonuses to the losing player) and just gives a player more to work with.


Looks like the pushblock is probably the biggest comeback mechanic alongside the unlimited meter activation.
Their are those and then there is one thing that I think could be overlooked but might be a factor as a comeback mechanic. That is Grind, it has some defensive properties that would be rather handy in keeping a character alive after being hit... that said... it needs to be activated, and I am not familiar to anything else that grind has in terms of duration after activation (it doesn't seem to be long, but I could be wrong) or anything else. Still like Awakening, that is simply giving players more tools to use than some arbitrary advantage.

What are you talking about?  Grind only gives a bonus when you are in the lead for vorpal status, and as far as I could tell that only provides an offensive boost.  The only kind of activation relating to it is when you burn all your GRD to add in EXS meter.

Being good at the game gives the losing player a chance at making a comeback.
Coming out on top of any situation (for example with an ultra) because you're rewarded for losing means you don't have to be good or as good at the game.
This makes worse players worse because the need to play well is negated by a degree.

So comeback mechanics are always, always, a bad addition to a fighting game. You may like it because you need the help, but it's just hurting you.

Part of the problem stems from the fact that some developers see a "need" to do something about the basic, inalienable fundamental of a fighting game: some one has to win and some one has to lose. But the comeback mechanic fails to do anything to really get around that. In the end, there is no way to make it so that "everybody is a winner" in the end.

Practically every other type of entertainment that can be taken to a competitive level, from actual sports to Chess to card games, don't have anything akin to this. So, why is it that fighting games "must" have this, I wonder...?

As far as I know there isn't one in UNIB yet. There is an activation of some sort, but I don't remember what it does.

Practically every other type of entertainment that can be taken to a competitive level, from actual sports to Chess to card games, don't have anything akin to this. So, why is it that fighting games "must" have this, I wonder...?

That's debatable for certain card games that I will not mention.


With regards to "comeback mechanics," I think its the developers trying to incorporate strong options. However, the problem comes when the mechanic is too strong or one-dimensional. One good way to see this is to compare Heat Activation and XFactor.

XFactor (forgive me if I get any of this wrong, I don't play MvC3):
Has its own bar
Fairly large damage boost, varies based on XFactor "Level"
Speed boost, varies based on XFactor "Level"
Can be used to cancel just about anything
HP recovery, varies based on XFactor "Level"

Heat/Max mode:
Uses Magic circuit just like EXs do
HP recovery, stops when blocking or hit, speed depends on moon and version of heat mode
Can be used to cancel certain moves (full moon only)
Slight damage and defense boost (crescent moon only)
Can be used to get out of combos (bursting)
Bursting happens automatically (Half Moon only)
Can be used as a pseudo-reversal (activation)

The first thing I'd like to point out is that Heat Activation is primarily defensive. It has three offensive applications, one for each moon: IH canceling, auto-burst, and damage/defense boost. But other than that it is defensive: getting out of combos, reversal, HP Recovery.

It also has a lot of utility on usage. Since it uses the same meter as the EX moves we are forced to choose between using the activation and using the EX moves (or a combination of both). Full can use IH canceling for just about anything.

Comparing that to XFactor, XFactor is extremely one-dimensional. It's primary usage is offense, as a damage booster to kill, as a cancel to continue a combo for a kill, or as a speed booster to get an attack in (to kill). The healing is just an extra bonus, people probably would complain about it just as much if there was no healing attached.

Also when comparing the two, it should be noted that the bonuses that they share are Stronger in XFactor. The damage boost is higher and the healing is faster.

Enough of that, let's get back to discussing UNIB.

Because the fun of any fight is the tension between players, so long as it's back and forth between any two players in a game... you have the spot when all the fun really comes from. The problem is not every one is at high-level (where that tension is almost-natural) and, frankly, not every person that plays a fighting game is going to be that skilled or going to get that skilled. Hence the need to keep things from getting completely one sided.

As I said in earlier posts, this is something that is way too easy to get wrong since you are manipulating factors into any scenario of a match... and that is simply inviting developers to give the losing player something big to tilt a match with. Skill is completely artificial at that point, which is much of where the rage over comeback mechanics comes from. So long as it is not arbitrary to the match scenario, then you have something that will still value skill (and require it). I am all for more of that non-arbitrary comeback mechanics.... if a game comes with one.

But enough of this, back to UNIB.
There will be a loketest in early-mid June (http://inbirth.info/topic0039.html). Not that specific, but I'll take what I can get.

It also has a bunch of random tidbits about the game itself.

- In the character select screen, "Start" brings up the color select menu. There are 10 colors to choose from. Changing character colors also changes the color of their effects.
- Double Jump, Air Dash are NOT basic moves for everyone. [Some characters have them though.]
- You can move before the round starts.
- There are directional attacks.
- AAA = Simple Combo
- There are Dash Attacks [With B and C only]
- Voice Actors still haven't been decided yet.
- Whiffing attacks B and stronger builds meter.
- If you do an Infinite Worth at the edge of the screen, you'll move to the center when it ends.
- You cannot kill with chip damage.
- EX Moves are not invincible. They also have a relatively short duration.
- You can roll when downed.
- ABCABC is a relatively easy to connect combo.

Seems like there can be more than one jump cancel in one combo. Hoorah. And they removed the curves on the health bar, but added different colours for different levels of health.

Merkava:
-DAT RANGE. ALL his air normals can probably hit crouchers at the pinnacle of his jump. Also, FULL SCREEN GRAB.
-Can launch projectiles and dive at the same speed, having the illusion of a dive-kick.
-Unlike Hime, he can fly without meter cost. Probably for a short duration only.
-Lotsa spinny moves. Even his IW.

Vatista:
-Aside from blades, orbs. Proxy mine jewels and massive zoning EX floating orb.
-Has a knockdown followup after shoryu.

Orie:
-Jumping kick followup after knight summon? Knight uppercut EX? New moves or just moves we haven't see before?

Okay, seems like Vatista's movelist goes like this:

Lumen Stella ([4]6A/B/C) - shoots a projectile. The speed and the trajectory depends on the button pressed (with the options being slow+mid, fast+mid and fast+low). You can perform it in midair with the 236A/B/C command, with different trajectories. The EX version shoots a Dark Angel-like ball that floats forward, bouncing up and down.
Luber Angelus ([2]8A/B/C) - A Flash Kick-like move with the wing slashes. You can follow it up with additional attacks by pressing different buttons. The EX version makes her jump up and down a couple of times.
Redeus Fragmentum ([A]/[ B]/[C] - Releases a hovering crystal that stays in place for as long as the button is held. Releasing the button explodes it; if you are hit before you release the button, the crystal disappears without doing anything. The position of the crystal depends on the button held. Can be performed in midair.
Racteus Orbis (41236D) - Infinite Worth, shoots a huge laser out of the symbol made with the wings. The start-up seems kinda fast.

Making the setup move a charge seems to be quite important.

And that metallic Carmine color is so cool.

EDIT: Are we really sure that there are no voices on this loketest? I'm pretty sure that I can hear Merkava's victory quote here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oulGRYHaQIU&t=3m49s).

DOUBLE EDIT: Found that link posted on Melty, updated the movelist for Vatista. Here's the one for Merkava:

『We, lash』 (236A/B/C) - Merkava moves forward, slashing with his hands repeatedly. Seems like one of the buttons makes him jump before performing the move. The EX version is a follow-up to the regular one; Merkava grabs the enemy, drags them along the ground, and throws them at the ground in the center of the screen.
『We, capture and devour』 (214A/B/C) - Merkava stretches his arms, catches the opponent, pulls himself to them and bites them. The trajectory is changed by pressing a different button; moreover, you can hold the button down to increase the range. The EX version seems to come out faster and at maximum range. Note that the long-ranged attacks that don't throw the opponent are his command C normals.
『We、breathe』 (214A/B/C in midair) - Merkava either spits a projectile downwards or performs a dive kick. I suppose that A version is a dive kick, B version shoots a projectile below Merkava, and C version shoots it diagonally downward.
『We, annihilate』 (41236D) - Infinite Worth; Merkava performs a fierce lashing attack around him.

Wow, if Vatista can really just pop out orbs by holding down a button, does that mean she can just hold down the button after an attack and do some aoko level blockstring shit?  Sounds potentially cool, but I can't play charge characters for shit so there go my dreams of mashing on tron loli.

So far only ones I'm interested to play are Gordeau, Hyde, and I guess Linne.  Gordeau command grab still pumps me up.

New video: Gordeau vs Orie (NicoNico) (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18075133). Looks like people are trying re-jump x N, but the combo prorates too heavily to continue partway through the second jump.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce June 11, 2012, 10:15:32 PM
Man, Gordeau has some pretty short range air normals for such long range ground stuff.

Another new addition: They now announce how many hits you do in a combo that are invalid. Good for "debugging" your combos I guess. Also, more details about your combo damage. The words are too small to see in these videos.

Vatista's held jewel seems to have quite a wide explosion radius.

More movelist translations courtesy of SoWL (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11035-Under-Night-In-Birth-(New-French-Bread-Fighting-Game)&p=1342853&viewfull=1#post1342853).

: SoWL
Orie:
Divine Thrust (236A/B/C) - A quick thrust forward that may whiff on sitting small enemies. The B version can be charged. The EX version is faster and goes through the opponent.
Sacred Spire (623A/B/C) - An anti-air multi-hit attack. The EX version deals more hits.
Come Forth/Command Order (214A/B/C, can be done in midair) - Summons Orie's Stand that attacks the enemy. Different buttons perform different attacks, and you can follow up the attack with the same input. The B version is the upward sword slash that can be followed up, the EX version is the multi-hit sphere of light that appears near the enemy.
Luminous Embrace (41236D) - Infinite Worth, makes Orie shoot a wave of light at the enemy. Easy to use, since it's pretty fast.

Gordeau:
Mortal Slide (236A/B/C) - Gordeau attacks with his scythe. By inputting the command again, you can pull in the opponent. The EX version performs an additional grab attack after the pull.
Grim Reaper (623A/B/C) - Gordeau spins the scytche, covering a lot of space. It seems like he can even hit the enemies that are behind him. The EX version blows the enemy away.
Assimilation (214A/B/C) - The command grab that drains a single GRD charge. Seems like you can grab with it even while the opponent is in midair?
Name unconfirmed (22A/B/C) - The A version is a low attack with the scythe; B and C version make Gordeau jump, spin the scythe like a helicopter, and perform an overhead attack. The EX version is a faster B/C one.
Turbulence (41236D) - Infinite Worth; Gordeau performs a long combo with the scythe. He continues it even if the first hit is guarded. The last hit blows the enemy away.

Waldstein:
He's a bit starved for the gameplay info. The only decent info that is written here is that his 360 can be performed in midair and its EX version waits for the enemy to get near him, and that his 214A/B/C is a rushing grab with a long start-up. Oh, and he seems to have a special attack against downed enemies, but there is no confirmed input for it yet.

Edit: An update on Waldstein, Hyde, Linne, and Carmine by SoWL (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11035-Under-Night-In-Birth-(New-French-Bread-Fighting-Game)&p=1342934&viewfull=1#post1342934).

: SoWL
Figuring out Waldstein is harder than I expected. His 236 is a long-ranged swing that moves him forward a bit, with the EX version swinging a couple of times more. That's the simple part, though I'm not sure about the reason he has this move (maybe it has super-armor?). But then you see all his different throws, see that only two of them are written in his movelist, and things get messy. So far, he seems to have:
- A regular throw
- A regular 360 "huge damage" throw
- An aerial version of the 360 throw
- A rushing wall slam throw (214A/B/C)
- An anti-air knockdown throw
- An overhead (blockable?) throw that can hit jumping opponents
- A throw that bounces the opponent off the wall and can combo into itself (and can hit them while they jump, too)
- An Infinite Worth super-throw

I'm almost sure that, like with Kira from Arcana Heart, some of these throws are just different versions of the same move, but still, that's a damn lot of throws to work with.

EDIT: And for the last three characters for now...

Hyde:
Black Orbiter (236A/B/C) - Shots a spinning round projectile that returns to Hyde after a while. It has two follow-ups: 236A makes it explode without returning, 236B makes Hyde step forward and attack at the projectile's position. The EX version deals multiple hits, allowing Hyde to attack while it's still launched. Also has a similar aerial version, though it doesn't seem to have any follow-ups.
Name unconfirmed (22A/B/C) - Hyde stabs the ground, attacking with a weak shockwave. The range of the shockwave depends on the button pressed.
Red-Clad Craver (623A/B/C) - Your regular shoryuken-like move. The EX version performs a short combo which rushes to the opponent before the actual shoryuken.
Vacant Shift First (214A/B/C) - A Gauntle Hades-like jumping attack. The distance traveled depends on the button pressed. You can follow it up up to two times, with the last hit knocking the enemy down (I guess those are Vacant Shift Second and Third). The EX version performs the follow-ups automatically.
Gyre Vortex (41236D) - Infinite Worth; Hyde stabs the ground with his sword and creates a red whirlwind around himself. Can OTG, blows the enemy away.

Linne:
Can double-jump.
Sky Fang (236A/B/C, can be done in midair) - Linne shoots a small quick projectile. The distance it travels changes with the button pressed. The EX version deals multiple hits, allowing Linne to attack while it's still launched.
Moon Circle (623A/B/C) - Another boring anti-air move. The B and C versions deal more hits than the A version.
Fog Skin (214A/B/C) - A couple of quick slashes. The EX version is a long auto-combo.
Name unconfirmed (63214A/B/C) - Linne makes a small jump forward and makes an overhead kick.
Cannagi/Calm Goddess (41236D) - Infinite Worth; Linne makes her sword bigger and performs a spinning attack, finishing with a pillar of light.
She also seems to have rekkas, but there's no clear info on them yet. Maybe it's that 214 move.

Carmine:
Doesn't die when his health would reach zero because of his specials. His regular throw restores some health.
Spiiin! (236A/B/C) - Drains some health and creates a spinning projectile that hangs in the air for a while. After that, it turns into a puddle of blood and may be used with other specials. By performing this move again, the puddle moves closer to the enemy. The EX version makes a bigger projectile.
Name unconfirmed (623A/B/C) - Carmine attacks with blood crystals around himself. If there are any puddles near him, the attack seems to go up.
Name unconfirmed (input unconfirmed, can be done in midair) - Shoots forward a long crystal for some health. If done in midair, the crystal falls on the ground and turns into a puddle.
Oraa! (214A/B/C) - Makes a blood crystal erupt from the ground. The EX version creates a bigger crystal, locking down the enemy in hit stun for a while.
Rise! (22A/B/C) - Lays down a blood puddle. Can be followed up by turning the puddle into a crystal that hits the enemy. The EX version makes Carmine jump and throw down a couple of puddles that immediately turn into one large crystal.
Hyahahahahaha! Suffer! (41236D) - Infinite Worth; Carmine shoots a couple of crystals that deal many slashes when they hit the opponent.
Seems like he has more setup and puddle activation options that are not covered yet.

The more I see Yuzu, the more I like her. The teleports look fun, especially since she can Mist Finer > teleport and stay in stance.

I believe I have yet to actually see anyone roll tech in the videos. The closest I've seen was during the Gordeau vs Orie at 3:00 (http://youtu.be/6AY7nD8SmKc#t=3m00s) where Yuzu does a MB-esque tech back into the corner rather than a BB roll. I'm much happier if they keep it that way.

In the Merkava vs Seth, at 1:35, you can see Merkava getting punished in the air, then auto-recovering. When he lands, he then punishes Seth. This auto-recover mechanic is not to be trifled with...

Also, delayed floating homing missiles. Setups galore~
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: Exciel July 27, 2012, 09:49:28 PM
For whatever reason, the CV's I'm sure about:

Hyde - Kimura Ryohei (MC in Penguindrum, MC in Sankarea)
Orie - Saori Hayami (Haqua in TWGOK, Leia in ToX)
Vatista - Rumi Ookubo (Chinatsu in Yuru Yuri, moeblob in Acchi Kocchi [who probably had something to do with her ridiculous hair])
Yuzuriha - Ayumi Fujimura (Ibuki in SSFIV, lil sis in Kara no Kyoukai 6)


The rest I'm unsure about but Linne is probably Ayana Taketatsu who also does P4U Labrys. People have told me Waldstein is Kouji Ishii and if I had to guess I'd say Seth is Jun Fukuyama. No clue on Carmine, Gordeau and there's a lot who can do Hilda's voice (if I had to guess, Chiwa Saito (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgBOUBdf510)). I find it somehow amusing unreal black thing can speak Japanese too.

Has anyone else noticed the three gems or whatever beneath Yuzuriha's portrait? They seem to glow while she's in her quick-draw stance and they're expended depending on if she teleports or what-have-you. I guess it's a resource system to prevent quick-draw stance shenanigans in combos since it seems to reset as soon as the stance ends, or after a set period of time.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: caiooa July 28, 2012, 02:03:39 PM
I'm not sure. I guess it's probably similar to the system of johny, but instead of "coins"  for the higher level Mist Finers, she probably have to stay more time "charging" in the quick-draw stance.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: BurstOfAnger July 28, 2012, 06:19:17 PM
They're limiters like what Sion has. She can only do 3 moves in that stance, each move taking away a gem in the gauge. Some moves seem to take no gems (her teleports?) or 2 instead of 1 gem.

Prerelease tournament at SBO (http://youtu.be/BUGLWGH7VPI) already uploaded to youtube.  It's roughly 1 hour long.  Lot of good day-0 Vati, Yuzu, Merkava, and Linne play.

No Gordeau at all though.  =<

Edit:  Oop, didn't realize a stream archive of it was already posted up.  Oh well.

EX gauge has a halfway mark and between both characters' GRD gauges is a circular clock that resets whenever GRD Vorpal is reached.

It seems that the Auto-Recover mechanic is a disadvantage. At 11:31, Yuzuriha punishes Orie when she auto-recovers from the air by throwing her. Knowing when the game forces you to auto-recover could be a crucial part in continuing combos.

Apparently you can throw while the opponent is in blockstun. 39:37 Linne is blocking Vatista's multihit orb and got thrown out.

The Orie player could have throw teched that.  There was another player who did later.  It's just a gimmick.

Same with when you're locked down in blockstun and get thrown.  When Vati threw the ex fireball down on Linne and jumped over to go for the throw, she teched the throw and the fireball just passed right through them during the invincibility.  From what I saw in that video, throw tech looked safe as fuck and there might not even be any restriction on doing it (such as counterhit throws in bb).

Anyway, incoming #opinions

...this game looks lame as fuck (and not "good lame" either) and I'm not at all impressed w/ the character designs (NOT CHARACTER AESTHETICS, I'm mean the mechanics overall). With the exception of the puddle dude, who isn't even all that interesting to begin with, characters look bland, boring and uninspired.

Linne = zantetsu (LB2)/ryougi clone, Hyde = Setsuna (LB2) clone, Vatista = fake ass Mu (BB), Yuzuriha = Senna clone (Big Bang), valdstein = pot/tager clone. And inb4 You = Hater.

Looking pretty pathetic in its current build. Hoping these dudes step it up cus dropping MB to work on this. . .They better put in overtime.

I personally disagree on certain points, but I suppose you're entitled to not like it.

I can say that I've seen variations of these fighting styles before, but to be honest, I like this particular implementation of them. There's just enough divergence from the base style that I consider the game to be worth a shot.

I'm kinda with Zar on this one, the game looks good yet feels unappealing, but despite character design weighting a lot on my decision to give a game a chance or not, I think originality is a relative concept and somehow overated, quality-wise in the end it doesnt matter who invented something but who perfected it. That said, even thou Yuzuriha got my attention a little I probably wouldnt touch the game anyway if it werent made by you know who.

Well, that is something that I doubt that they can change at this point. Since the last two loctests, I think that they have locked in on the character designs. I will agree with this...They don't stand out for the most part, the characters designs as slick as they are.... are very by-the-numbers, stock anime-like designs.  I think that other elements outside of look will turnout to the define the characters, it's really the only other option that they have.

And keep in mind that, French Bread is still very small last that I checked. So it may also be a matter of resources. How many employees are at FB anyway?

Frankly, with Melty Blood... French Bread got extremely lucky. For them, the characters where already defined, established and made, all they needed to do was adapt the play-styles and make the sprites. That and Type-Moon didn't say "no" (or "sue") when they asked for more resources/data on the characters. Which is why I am watching this develop honestly, French Bread as proven that they can make a fighter with help... Now can they do that without the safety net that Type-Moon provided them with?
So far, I would say, yes... but we'll have to see the end product to be sure.  The gameplay seems, interesting for the most part... and it's the thing that most concerns me.

Activation probably just has some invul frames.

Man, so happy with how Gordeau is looking right now.  He's playing right into the style I wanted. 

So far, Carmaine looks fragile as hell, with how much life is drained from each special usage.  Orie also has some seriously gimped damage, though she has a lot of good pokes.  Otherwise, everyone is looking pretty good.  I'm glad they gave Wald some more damage and easier confirms.  Yuzu is probably a little too good, but we'll see. 

Also, somehow I never really noticed how slow/awkward Merkava's movement is, and how weird his pressure is compared to the rest of the cast.  It's like he's the Nero of the game, meaning that he sort of plays at his own pace apart from the rest of the cast.

Also, might as well share this pastebin of my observations (http://pastebin.com/50pxV4xi) while I was watching the videos.  It's a little too long to just paste into here (apparently 114 lines, yikes).

Seth's orb pressure looks like you can do hilariously lulzy crap if you can scare your opponent into respecting it. Dude is flying all over the place and still locking them down.

It really looks like they smoothed things out for a lot of the characters since their first introduction videos. The new effects aren't bad either.

I think they actually slowed Merkava down since the Tougeki build. I remember the full screen grab being tighter when blocked.

However, SETH. Seth looks like so much fun to play. I might actually end up using him over Linne.

I find that they nerfed Seth's fireballs. They hit very inconsistently now, something I don't like very much. His dash-in-teleports look fun and all, but I'm confused about how much of a mindgame it really brings in a real match...
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LoliSauce August 26, 2012, 10:40:30 AM
Yeah, the fireballs are either slower or they changed the tracking, because they were getting avoided pretty easily.  Also take into account that they aren't persistent (Yuzu was just cutting him through the fireballs and they'd disappear), so it kind of encourages disrespect.  Dude has an absurd amount of mobility though, and that dashing cut has crazy hitstun.

Anyway, it seems like the meter hop thing is going to be really important, because people are pulling ambiguous crossups with it all day in those new videos.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LivingShadow August 26, 2012, 03:44:31 PM
I think Seth is going to play like a mix between Aoko and Ryougi. As much as everyone is comparing Linne to Ryougi, she plays nothing like her.
: Re: So apparently that game French Bread were making...
: LivingShadow August 26, 2012, 05:42:21 PM
Those crossup combos are basically part of Ryougi's BnB, but otherwise I agree. Crossup orb/shots look like so much fun.

I doubt they actually have international plans yet, but at least they know people are interested and they don't have type-moon standing over them, limiting anything that they may want to do.  Best thing we can hope for is just that the game succeeds in making them boatloads of money so they have the capital to give it a shot.

We'll have to see but being honest... I would but shocked if they have not begun to shop the game around somewhat. And if I remember, around the days of AH3's pre-release. Atlus has expressed interest in the FB's work (namely Melty).

It's a damn shame that these things are likely closely guarded and closed discussions. Oh to be a fly on that wall.

Best thing we can hope for is just that the game succeeds in making them boatloads of money so they have the capital to give it a shot.
Here is the thing, I don't think that even having a "boatload of money" would help in that regard. The face of localizing has changed, it would require a lot more work than simply translating the text and printing the disk. They have become something of a production themselves, which demands an experienced hand.

Once they give it a shot, that opens up a host of challenges.  Most of which, FB isn't use to. I hope that they do it honestly, but I can't be blind to the fact that they are a new minno in shark infested waters.

Well, I am not sure that there are any opinions on the hardware at this moment since we have yet to see production models of the line. So anything said at this moment comes with a gain of salt in regards to performance and network infrastructure. Also keep in mind that the only other game announced for this board is ASW's Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R, so I would expect impressions to be based on GG's under-performing on the hardware. Whatever those spec's those might be.

The Ring-series (Ringwave and RingEdge 1) continues with Sega using off-the-shelf parts for it's hardware. Something that is rather likely with RingEdge 2 to continue with. And to be honest, Sega is far from the only one, Tatio's Type X2 and Type X3 also use commodity hardware.

I was searching for information, both the RingEdge 2 and Type X3 are new to me. And the change of platform for UNIB was rather unexpected. And it turns out that a lot isn't known about the RingEdge 2... Was wondering if it was just me lost in the lack of info on the board. Apparently, I am not.

Someone posted a translation of the System page on this site (http://beastnote.blogspot.co.il/2012/09/under-night-inbirth-how-to-play.html?spref=tw).

: Hectom on Dustloop
The System page has been added to the official website of Under Night: In-Birth yesterday. The very good news is not only it has no comeback mechanics, it also rewards better players big bonus.

Here is our summary.

There are only 2 gauges that you have to pay attention to, EXS and GRD. This game really requires strategy as both of them can fill each other.

EXS (pronounced Exis)
- It is on the bottom left or right of the screen.
- This is similar to SF4's Super Combo gauge.
- Full gauge is EXS 200%. Half gauge is EXS 100%.
- It is used for EX version of special moves. EXS 100%+ is required.
- By pressing A+B+C at EXS 100%+, the character will enter Veil Off state. In this state, you can use EXS moves as much as you want in limited time until the gauge depletes to 0%. (Veil Off consumes all of your EXS.)
- Veil Off activation moment also works as "Burst" which pushes opponent away even under hit-stun.
- In Veil Off state, you will also get GRD bonus from actions.
- Ultimate moves called Infinite Verse will be usable at EXS 200% or in Veil Off state.
- Ultimate moves called Infinite Verse EXST will be usable only at EXS 200% and while opponent has 30% life or below, and you must use between a combo while having max Veil Off. This is instant death move.

GRD (Grind Grid)
- It is on the bottom center of the screen.
- Your GRD will increase if you are in a good situation, and decrease during a bad situation.
- GRD Vorpal is activated each time after the circle is filled with light. If your GRD is more than opponent at the moment, the circle will turn into your color (red or blue) and you get the benefits. The circle will then be reset again after it is filled. There is a chance that the circle will always be your color if you can maintain the momentum. If both players have the same GRD when the circle is filled, the circle will turn white and no one gets the benefits.
- In GRD Vorpal state, you do extra damage.
- In GRD Vorpal state, by pressing D twice, you can convert all of your GRD into EXS gauge. This action is called Chain Shift. Moreover, Chain Shift will cancel the ongoing animations, returning you to neutral again so you can continue a combo or use it for frame trap. The GRD circle will turn white after using it.
- You can boost your GRD by holding D. It can also decrease opponent's GRD. This action (called Concentration) consumes EXS.
- You will get GRD bonus when blocking an attack using Shield. But if you get hit while using Shield, GRD Break will occur. GRD Break will reset your GRD.
- Shield (press D while blocking) requires some EXS (around 20%). If successful, you will gain a lot of momentum in GRD.

Other features
- There are 4 buttons: A (light attack), B (medium), C (strong), D (EXS Action).
- There is something similar to P4U's Auto Combo, called Smart Steer. You get a combo by pressing A>A>A>A.
- Assault (forward + D) works like hop (for hop attack), midair is possible.

Looks like Chain Shift can now only be done if you're in GRD Vorpal. I like that a bit better than the "Mash Chain Shift whenever you have GRD available" that they had before.

There's also an Astral-esque version of the Infinite Worth (now called Infinite Verse) called Infinite Verse EXST that you can combo into when they're below 30% health.

GOD, THIS AGAIN!!!!!  >:(

So not happy about that bit of news. I know that they are after that "Hateful BlazBlue"... but this is something that I was hoping that they would avoid like the plague. Guess not.
Excuse me as I scream at the moon and rip out my hair.

- Assault (forward + D) works like hop (for hop attack), midair is possible.
Ok, I was wondering if I was looking at something similar to Hyper Hop with that. I guess I was right, that is good since I was liking the sound of it.

GRD (Grind Grid)
- Your GRD will increase if you are in a good situation, and decrease during a bad situation.
Ok, that is vague. Good in how... attacking, defending, positioning, etc.?

Incorrect shielding (high/low) results in a break.  There's a ton of hitstun too, so it's pretty free for the opponent to capitalize on.  It happens in a couple videos.

Pardon the double post, but I stumbled upon this wiki for UNIB. Wiki (http://www18.atwiki.jp/un_inbirth/) Has this been posted before? It has info on the character's moveset, combos and such.

I'm impressed with Orie. When I first saw her, I was thinking "How the hell do you combo with her?". And seeing footage of her now, she seems really versatile and all-rounded.

I don't get how the instant kills are executed. You veil-off when your opponent has the right amount of life left and it's automatically executed?

It looks like we'll be getting even more footage soon; French Bread is hosting a tournament + talk with the devs this Saturday (http://inbirth.info/topic0058.html).
Who won? I've heard some big figures like Denpa and Kubo are playing. This got me hype...

Results of the tourney, courtesy of Komidol:

: Komidol
The winner of the Club Sega tournament held by French Bread (the game's developers) to commemorate the release of Under Night In-Birth has concluded.  The winner, in a 2-1 victory, was Jin!  Jin was using Hyde throughout the tournament. 



Amongst the fighting game community in Tokyo, Jin is a very well-known player, most renowned for his play with Hisui in Melty Blood. Within the top 8, other veteran players such as Reteru and Yume placed as well.

Also, someone figured out a 36 second long combo (http://youtu.be/xt-UIIRaKX8) on Linne. It seems to cap out at 4.8k damage, but that could be freakishly annoying to get caught in if they just want to run down the clock.

So far, it seems they're working mostly on extending combos over finding oki options. I saw lost chances to drop orbs all over the place with the Seth players.

Woah, Sion.

Or maybe just a character based on her? lol "Eltnum"

Hmm. Wonder what that's about.

Well then. (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19018934) Guessing this is just... a thing? Like Saber in Nitro Royale?
: Re: Under Night In-Birth

isn't eltnum a result of a different romanization system?

It is, yeah. But I don't see why FB would randomly switch romanizations... Not that it matters, lol.

: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: LivingShadow September 30, 2012, 11:37:03 AM
Yeah, that's definitely Sion. And now that I think of it, wasn't Sion a character made specifically for Melty and thus has no official type moon ties?

More or less how I've heard it. She's basically FB's original creation, so they can do whatever they want with her.

lol one of my first thoughts after I started watching videos last week was "oh no! these look like skullgirls combos!"
I'm mostly fine with combo damage right now (though that will probably change as more powerful stuff comes to light), I'd just like them to be slightly more concise

anyway I'm not super-thrilled with everything I'm seeing but I don't think this game looks nearly as terrible as everyone is making it out to be,  some things look super-fun actually

and what's the big problem with chain-shifting? I've watched a good number of videos and I'm not sure what is so broken about it
: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: LivingShadow October 01, 2012, 01:16:17 PM
I think it's the amount of meter they gain back. You get quite a bit if you have a decent amount of grd.
: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: F9|Chibi October 01, 2012, 02:08:09 PM
Everyone's sort of Yun / Genei-Jin at this point. Each combo is long enough that it builds the meter to get the cancel to continue the combo to build just close enough that you need to him them again and start all over.

Basically right now it's:

Combos!

+ Easy to do.
+ Fun.
+ Almost ends with potential for oki.

- Takes a chunk of time to do.
- Doesn't really do all that much damage.
- Builds enough meter to get a cancel to prolong the combo further.

They could make the combos build less meter, do more damage, or only allow you to cancel once a match something.

I honestly have no problem with it :P
: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: Sahgren October 01, 2012, 04:59:45 PM
There's also the problem with Chain Shifting in that some characters, *cough*Linne*cough*, can keep the combo going long enough that they can get off multiple Chain Shifts per combo. Combine that with a lack of hitstun deterioration and you get people figuring out infinite loops to burn 80 seconds off the clock.
: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: caiooa October 02, 2012, 12:52:35 AM
no, combine it with unlimited otg relaunch. If she have done one after every dive, she have used 11 otg relaunchs in this 80s combo.
: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: Mengjun October 02, 2012, 01:58:43 AM
Well, from what I can tell, hitstun deterioration and OTG limit (2 relaunches usually) seems to be reset with each Chain Shift. Maybe that's what they are fixing?
: Re: Under Night In-Birth
: caiooa October 02, 2012, 05:17:12 AM
No, it's not reseted. This game don't have otg relaunch limit. See merkava doing it 5 times in a row without chain shift.

Eltnum character page. (http://inbirth.info/chr_elt.html)

I like how her bio mentions that she looks like someone that survived being in a certain town that was under the evil influence of a vampire that was called "personification of rumors" and because of that various rumors have been going around.

Also her 'specs' match TM Sion's to the letter.

Lol.  Well tbh, her outfit is different.  New shirt, jacket, shoes, skirt and stockings are color swapped, neckerchief is under the shirt, glove on one hand, etc.  A lot of small differences.  I didn't notice any of them besides the skirt/stocking swap until I actually compared her picture from the mbaa profile to the unib one.
