Do have latest version DLed?

[Mr. Sinister]

Do have latest version DLed?

Yes I do. I got the 1.01 version. I was able to play other people online, except for you for some reason.

[I Am Lothar]

Why can't I use all the characters?

[rogueyoshi]

Why can't I use all the characters?
get 1.01 full.

[I Am Lothar]

get 1.01 full.

Awesome. Any reasonable guides out or is it just screw around till you figure out what to do?

[Xenozip.]

Reading the Monster wiki and reading AyaImmortal's blog and my blog are probably your best bets for gathering some preliminary information.

[I Am Lothar]

Hmm this is strange, I am trying to install the patch but now I am getting weird errors when I either a. try to run the game or b. when I try to exit the game. Any ideas?

[[Roz]]

Awesome, got the game running with 1.01. Anyway, question. The graphics are pretty low res, even windowed. Is there a way to up the resolution? The game has very smooth animations, it's a shame to be seeing them all pixelized.

Played a little with Aleksander, pretty badass considering he's a plush bear.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

So im intrested in this, Im a noob when it comes to irc and all that....


So if i just download install is it simple enough to work from there...

[Xenozip.]

Hmm this is strange, I am trying to install the patch but now I am getting weird errors when I either a. try to run the game or b. when I try to exit the game. Any ideas? You need to have version 1.00 and then patch to 1.01.

You can't patch the 1.99 version because it's just a demo.

The game has very smooth animations, it's a shame to be seeing them all pixelized. Not yet. Some of us have theorized that the monster_hd.exe will be used in the future (in future patches) for some high-res version of the game, but it isn't implemented yet. Currently we're not sure what the ".."_hd.exe does, we think it does nothing.

Hopefully there will be a HD version released soon, but we don't know when.

Most people use the Efnet servers for various things, but we no longer use Efnet. Currently we're using the Mizuumi server for Monster.

1) Download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com/
2) Open mirc and enter the File -> select server (alt+E) menu.
3) Under "connect" put in your information, then expand the tree and go to "servers"
4) Under "servers" put click "add" and put in the following information:
Description: mizuumi net
Server: irc.mizuumi.net
Ports: 6667 (default)
Group: Mizuumi
5) Hit "ok", select Mizuumi from the "IRC network" list, press "connect to server"

Once connected to the server you can join some channels and start talking with people. Type " /join #8105monster " to join the monster channel or type " /list " to see what other channels are on the server.

If you have Trillian then Trillian also has a built in IRC program. To use IRC with Trillian:

1) Click the options menu (looks like a globe), click preferences. In the preferences menu click "plugins".
2) In "plugins" fill the IRC checkbox.
3) Click the "identities and connections" menu. Click "add new connection" button.
4) Put "mizuumi" for the server name and "irc.mizuumi.net::6667" in the next box for the server address. Then fill in your information in the following boxes.

It's possible to be on efnet and mizuumi at the same time if you'd also like to check out what efnet has to offer. Post a reply here if you run into any trouble.

A new Monster combo collaboration video is up on combovideos.com
Volume 3: http://www.combovideos.com/page.php?id=1520

Editing by Ikusat. Combos performed by Fooligar, Xenozip., AyaImmortal, and Ikusat.

Be sure to stop by #8105Monster on IRC mizuumi.net for some games.

[Mr. Sinister]

I'm on mirc of anyone gives a damn.

[Mr. Sinister]

I would like to thank Xiii for the severe beating I received from him today. I'm glad I'm able to get some comp in this game.

[Xiii]

GG Sinister, great connection between us by the way. Hope to see you around more when the next patch hits, you'll see even crazier shit from me when I start playing hardcore again. I haven't really touched the game in about a month, but I can be pretty tricky when I go into my crazy rushdown mode.

[rogueyoshi]

okay guys, I'm back, and I'll be playing a lot more than before.

[Whodat]

Glad to see people are still playing this game. I haven't been able to play in a good while because for whatever reason people don't seem to like it anymore where I live. I'll see about trying to play online more though.

[Xenozip.]

Be sure to check out the new combo video and the new irc server.

[MiLky]

Haven't put it back on my PC since my Windows re-install, but I will soon, at least when the new patch comes out.

Edit: Just watched vid, some nice combos, better that the last one. Serious lack of Delga :(

[Xenozip.]

^ That avatar is made of so much win.
Serious lack of Delga :(
Blame the Delga players for disappearing after 1.01. :P

Spootz, Rashreflect, and L3land suddenly vanished after Delga got neutered. :|

Although, Spootz is still around, but he doesn't play as much.

Heh, part of the reason I haven't played for a fair while. I will wait till next patch, to see if the other tops get nerfed down a bit so Delga can compete again, or decide on a new character to learn. Being a pretty serious Gief player back in the day though, love my grapplers.

And thanks on the av, the stupid ass media accusations about the Vtech shit having anything to do with Oldboy... Had to support one of the few movies that made me feel like someone punched me in the cock with brass knuckles the first time I saw it.

[UltraDavid]

Just wanted to let you guys know that I found that my download of monster came with a several trojans, so if you haven't already, you might wanna check that out.

Yeah, the connection was very good. My interest for this game has been peaked even more. I'm going to start practicing some more with Maya and the bat-girl(I forgot her name). When' the next patch coming out?

I think it's supposed to be out in the next week or two. But I could be wrong. It's supposed to be a HUGE update; so don't get too comfortable with your characters.

[Xenozip.]

-snip- Unfortunately, people will link tragedy to anything in an attempt to explain what they don't understand. The more tragic it is the more they fish for an explanation.

But yeah, Oldboy is awesome.

[SaBrE]

might check this game out. im not into these doujin pc fighters or whatever they are called, but the latest vid i saw on combovideos kinda got my curiosity aroused

[Xenozip.]

If you're willing to give kaillera a shot then might as well give this game a shot, yeah?

Glad you liked the video.

[SaBrE]

heh i wont do anything kaillera related again. hehe. just installed up to 1.01. hopefully your HD theory is right and they clean it up. smooth animation and great visual effects. just need to get higher res. it seems really interesting. it has some ideas that i kinda like. i cant really say for sure, i wont be able to play for a few days since my doa4 stick is completely disassembled, prepared for modding. but ill give it a spin when i get my parts

[ShardZ]

New Patch Next Week

I would like to throw the idea out there right now while it's fresh in my head.
When VF4:Evo was winding down in favor of VF4 Final Tuned in Japan, they held the Final Tournament for Evo as a sendoff for the game to close off that chapter. Since the next big update will probably be a big change and revision I propose a Monster 1.01 Final Tournament, a grand major for the game since newer games like Akatsuki Blitzkampf and BBB are on the map and drawing a lot of attention this will be a way of saying goodbye to an old friend. I'd like to have as many players of the revisions so far present ( btw, how do I get on the mizuumi IRC room? ), including but not limited to:

magus
harem
hitaro
rithli
rusheddown
zaelar
ayaimmortal
fooligar
xenozip
rogueyoshi
spootz
goner
turbovec
sledeau
shardz
joshthefunkdoc / rashreflection
leland
ace uno

I am willing to help run brackets as well.
Let's agree on a date everyone can be present for before the new patch is out. Ideas / suggestions?

[Only Yamazaki]

looks freakin sweet. feels like im all late tho. i honestly cant stand melty blood. or rather i have very mixed feelings for melty blood. this game looks like it could be similar with all those shifts BUT, for some odd reason i have a lot more interest in this game than melty blood or archana heart. this just looks more creative IMO. balance, well i dont know, thats another subject. othello, as bad ass as he seems, has to be top. this just might be a that alternative fighting game that i'm looking for, some thing different from today's games.

also what is the tier list for this game?

Close to half the people on that list don't even play anymore.

IRC Channel is irc.mizuumi.net #8105monster

[Xenozip.]

Close to half the people on that list don't even play anymore.

I think he's hoping they'll "come back" to check out the new version. Which at least a few people have said they will.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

The game isnt dead.... So a going away tourny isnt needed

[4649]

The game isnt dead.... So a going away tourny isnt needed

i'm not saying the game is dead
i mean Final for rev. 1.01 since when the new patch comes out people probably won't be playing it the same way, a lot of the characters won't be the same, etc :P
was just trying to gauge interest for the idea, really, if you guys don't want to then that's fine

[MAGUS1234]

gone but not forgotten, where the patch at yo! don't be stingy bout lettin us know.

[Xenozip.]

We're not being stingy, the patch actually got delayed because ShoK keeps adding more stuff at the last minute (among other reasons).

We don't have anything yet, but we keep getting told "soon".

[Whodat]

I'll definately have to check out the new patch. I haven't played the game in a while though.

[BRUTAL]

Is the one in the divshare the latest? http://www.divshare.com/download/339351-02f

[SuicidalGrandpa]

I remember this game... :tup:

Wonder what's new with it...

[BRUTAL]

playing online doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on how to help me out?

[BRUTAL]

Does anyone play Story mode. Cuz the one I got doesn't work on story mode. I just play arcade mode

[BRUTAL]

Who got 1.01? Did you get it from http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/8105/
????

[Xenozip.]

What happens when you try to play online?

1.01 is the latest version.

Story mode does not work yet because the game is still in production (it's a work in progress).

[Whodat]

I want the new patch :(

[MiLky]

I want the new patch :(

Yeah I thought the new patch was released since this was on the front page, fuckers.

[Xiii]

The next patch will make your PCs explode, currently being fixed so it stops doing that. LOOK OUT!

In all seriousness though, heh, nobody knows when this shit is coming out anymore. Only thing you can be sure of? IT'LL BE BIG! People who have been wary of the game might want to give the game another go since it'll be significantly different from what we have now.

[BRUTAL]

I challenge someone and it freezes, or just doesn't go any further after I push to confirm the intrude

[Faight]

I'm downloading as we speak. However, given my living situation and my limited internet access I might have this sometime late next week.

It better be worth it, Xenozip, or I'm coming to your house and beating you up.

Hello, just downloaded this after seeing it on youtube. Was going to ask about it (an english config.exe) but i set the buttons in game and that works just fine. But yeah, fun game going to put many hours into it!

What kind of pc system specs do you need to get this game running smoothly?

[Spooty Whiteboy]

*crosses fingers for beastly katze*

btw there was no REAL ryu and KEN in this game..lol

I'm not really sure if Katze looks "beastly," but he does look better than he used to (assuming that's a real pic). Mostly they just added definition to his abs/chest, but it seems like he is just a bit more smooth all over. If they keep adding a little detail at a time; by the time the actual game comes out it will look great.

[Xenozip.]

Don't forget these screenies too:
http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200705/04/78/f0044678_2120599.jpg <-- Rail's new 5C
http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200704/16/78/f0044678_13271354.jpg <-- Siely's new 214B

Also, on 6/24 there was an official play-test event at a Japanese gamecenter (arcade). And Monster is now a feature for every Wednesday, while Blitzkampf is featured for every Thursday. The gamecenter is called "TRF" or something.

I was hoping the 6/24 event was going to be a tournament but I guess it's just a playtest.

So, it should be released soon now that it was playtested.

[Xiii]

Watch out for Siely's new HEAD lol. Animations and sprites are always being updated and the game will look a lot better than it does now by the time it's done.

Still no patch release....

[FullMetalRoss]

maybe it's just the resolution that pic is at, but did they change katze's whole sprite? it looks a little differnet.. Like an slightly updated 3d look.

[Xenozip.]

They changed his face, added shading, and changed a bit of the color. The sprites have always been taken from 3D models, so naturally they would look 3D-ish.

[FullMetalRoss]

Yeah I know they were always taken from 3d models, I meant that to imply that they had updated the model. Sorry for the confusion. I think it must mostly be the face and shading changes you were talking about.

[Harem]

Shok is killing me with this wait. ;_;

Killing everybody actually. I quit playing this game because of the fact I knew a new and better patch was coming out, but alas it hasn't come and I've started to think that it wont.

OH SHI~ :lovin:

Any news on patch? A timeframe? ANYTHING!?
I'm dyin' here ;_;
I want my new and improved Siely-chan <3

[Xenozip.]

The only information we have is that Dre convinced ShoK to try (unconfirmed) and add an improved netcode with a push-delay feature (like IaMP), which will make cross-country netplay possible. The good news is the functionality should be optional so if you don't like it you won't need to use it (but there's no reason not to use it).

Other than that, we don't know anything. No ETA.

[edit]: Also, that sprite shows it at two resolutions. Possible high res version? :o
I'd be nice if some one skimmed through his blog and translated some important details.

[Clear Sky]

Hmmmm, weird. I don't remember the sprites looking that clean on my computer when I use to play this game. Is it because of all of the SFX or my computer just sucks?

[FullMetalRoss]

man this should actually be pretty exciting when it finishes up. I'll definetly give it another try when the patch comes out. I can't believe it's going to be such a huge overhall.

[Xenozip.]

-snip-
The sprites are getting cleaned up and improved. Lots and lots and lots of graphical changes.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

<ChineseYoumu> ok monster bitches
<ChineseYoumu> new information
<ChineseYoumu> backdash animations for some characters = completely different
<ChineseYoumu> the game looks ALOT cleaner than it used to look
<ChineseYoumu> I THINK katze may have gotten a new move or something
<ChineseYoumu> looks like a new animation for another move
<ChineseYoumu> probably a new animation for 236b
<ChineseYoumu> im NOT sure about a few things
<ChineseYoumu> but from katze's new backdash
<ChineseYoumu> it LOOKS like 449 might be possible
<ChineseYoumu> im not sure
<ChineseYoumu> it looks like you start off with 3 meters
<ChineseYoumu> but that could be just for testing purposes
<ChineseYoumu> gaining meter and super stock is automatic now
<ChineseYoumu> so you dont have to activate shift in order to get super meter
<ChineseYoumu> more character specific shit: rail can combo 2b 2c now
<ChineseYoumu> and he deals a little bit more damage
<ChineseYoumu> but i think he increased the damage on the game as a whole to keep up with the sped up gameplay
<ChineseYoumu> power break system ONLY allows for you gain points that you have gained now
<ChineseYoumu> not for what your opponent has
<ChineseYoumu> you DO NOT gain meter when blocking
<ChineseYoumu> and shifting takes up a super stock
<ChineseYoumu> general gameplay is ALOT faster then it used to be
<ChineseYoumu> and yes there is a timer now
<ChineseYoumu> shok PROMISES that the patch will be released on oct 1st
<ChineseYoumu> ok it isnt 449 that is there
<ChineseYoumu> but
<ChineseYoumu> it IS something that could be useful
<ChineseYoumu> and shifting takes up a super stock
<ChineseYoumu> general gameplay is ALOT faster then it used to be
<ChineseYoumu> and yes there is a timer now
<ChineseYoumu> shok PROMISES that the patch will be released on oct 1st
<ChineseYoumu> ok it isnt 449 that is there
<ChineseYoumu> but
<ChineseYoumu> it IS something that could be useful
<ChineseYoumu> for instant double jumping now it is 99 or 77 instead of 959 or 757
<ChineseYoumu> so you no longer have to go nuetral

Yes to confirm the patch WILL be released on october 1st so get ready and be on the look out!

[4649]

i <3 ShoK :lovin:

[Whodat]

it's about time

[Xiii]

Alright, good shit. New news from our ambassador Aya! Let's start with the "old" news:

- New redesigned interface, particle effects and round timer added.
- Siely's specials have been modified with new particle effects and properties.
- Rail's 3 modes are now completely different from before. His spirit now changes more drastically between modes.
- Aleksandr now has 2 new specials.
- Many new sprite improvements present (higher res than before).


And for the new:

- Sweeps now Knockdown rather than launch like before so we can assume no more 662C x2 stuff.
- *** You now build shift meter just like in traditional fighters, no more auto-charge bars.
- Backdash animations for all characters have been changed and longer recovery so even less backdash spamming will be allowed.
- There is now pushback on combos.
- Ryougen has a lot of changes, old combos either do no work anymore or require much stricter timing making him harder to use.
- Delga specificially his command grab has been nerfed again, throwing opponents angled rather than vertically up making it harder to follow-up like before and his command grab no longer throws fullscreen.


More info coming soon!

[MiLky]

Didn't they nerf Delga enough in the last patch...

[rogueyoshi]

there was push back before. and it was scaled too.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Didn't they nerf Delga enough in the last patch...

Correct he was, but his command grab was a huge problem before still(mainly his freedom command grab) It was nurfed again sadly, But the nerf was ment for him to work in monsters new game system.

this update. new look, animation, moves it really feels

#8105Monster on Mizuumi

KATZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Xenozip.]

For those wanting to get on IRC and play but aren't computer savy here's some quick simple instructions:
Getting on mizuumi is simple, just 4 easy steps.

1) Download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com, then install and run mIRC
2) Input your nickname and press OK
3) Type /server irc.mizuumi.net
4) Type /join #8105Monster

If you're already using mIRC to chat on another IRC server you can be on two servers at the same time. To do this:

Time for the monster HYPE!

[MAGUS1234]

I know no one wants to hear it, but im feelin Ryou

[Doren2k]

Guess i'll play this for awhile.

[Clear Sky]

I'm hyped. I hope to see WC players like Celestial, you Magus, and that Alberta Orju player (forgot your name) back in the channel, if you guys aren't already. :)

[Hayama Akito]

All that changes for a 8 Megs patch?

I really need to see this.

[katraqueyous]

How do you exactly patch with the "monster onlinetrailer"? When I put the patch files in the folder then start the game, I get an error...

[Xenozip.]

I know no one wants to hear it, but im feelin Ryou Get on irc on mizuumi server, fooligar is fiending for some WC comp.

How do you exactly patch with the "monster onlinetrailer"? When I put the patch files in the folder then start the game, I get an error... The "trailer" is not the full game nor is it compatible with the patch. You need the full game not the trailer.

Check the first post for places where you can dl it. Or get it off simulationstyle.

[katraqueyous]

^^^ thanks it works now!

Damn, my video card sucks...

[4649]

oh man this is too good.
it really is almost an entirely new game now, i've had to rethink every character i thought i knew how to use so far.
<3 new Siely and Rail.

[[Real_bout]Yang]

Somebody can write the changes of the patch? some important change in gameplay?

[SuicidalGrandpa]

Whoa, this game is still around?

[Xiii]

Some of the changes in the new 1.11b patch:

- New interface
- Super meter is built like normal traditional fighters, no more auto-charging meters. This means you can potentially combo, shift, continue your combo, shift ends and then reshift into another combo (though damage reduction would mean you're only doing less than 5% damage at that point).
- There is now more noticeable knockback on moves now making certain old combos impossible to do except for in the corner.
- New juggle mechanics (characters bounce differently after getting hit by attacks, some attacks knockdown now and new launchers pop the opponent straight up into the air.). Gravity seems to be absent now as well as the opponent seems to just bounce higher and fall faster the more you hit them.
- Jumping moves now either reset or knockdown characters, some moves allow you to air combo the opponent (like shifting) or hitting an opponent with a launcher from the ground doesn't make them reset when you follow up in the air.
- Sweeps now knockdown without the bounce making certain old follow-ups to 2C and 662C moves impossible.
- Shift now has more specific hitboxes and last longer than before, also comboing into shift knocks the opponent straight up and serves as a launcher after sweep moves or moves that normally wouldn't allow you to follow-up with much or anything at all.
- Controls are a lot stiffer now making it harder to execute certain moves.


And lots of character changes except for Aleksandr which is mostly the same, but worst because of the system changes making some of his midscreen combos invalid and such. I won't list the character changes because there is just too much to write up.

[Xenozip.]

Whoa, this game is still around?

The patch has changed so much that it's practically a new game all together. The only thing that really stayed the same is you can dash cancel (forward/back) your normals on hit/block. Practically everything else is new in the latest patch.

[Darkstalker]

NEW PATCH

Finally

I'll try to get on irc later. Just for fucks.

Playing for Rail goodness of course.

Is the netplay improved? I remember only being able to challenge random Japs, and fight those at like 50 fps at best. =\

EDIT: OH FUCK WHAT HAPPENED TO RAIL?!?!

I'm loving this, and all his new animations and spirits and whatnot, but I've no idea what to do now! My precious combos, all gone!

[Nocturnal]

Anyone know where I can buy the game?

[Darkstalker]

Try looking here?

THIS WAS A LINK I REMOVED.

[Nocturnal]

Thanks for doing that Darks

[Xenozip.]

My precious combos, all gone!
They have changed but Rail is still able to dish out damage.

He gets like 4K unshifted (which is really good) and 6k off monster shift (which is also good).

His unshifted pressure strings and mixups are also still very good. Rail and Siely seem like very solid characters now.

Katze and Ryougen are also still very strong.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

This is the only time ill ask. PLEASE STOP LINKING THIS GAME!!! The game IS NOT FREE.

Really? Do you know/have a vid showcasing that really solid sounding Rail combos?

I'm not used to the engine yet, I keep pulling off only 2000+

Never been good at figuring out my own combos. :(

[Xiii]

I'm working on some MRail and TRail combos right now and I'm sure XAQ will do some FRail combos for the upcoming Combo Video, look forward to it. I usually do combos that are doable in a match, but I'll be breaking that mold a bit for TRail. I can tell you right now though from my experience that Rail's bnb does a consistent 2k-2.5k dmg, but he does have a non-shift combo that does 4K+, but that requires a bit of luck, timing and practice. Not sure how practical it is, but i don't see myself using it much right now. MRail can top over 7.2K+ dmg off a 5C and just over 6K off 5A and the combo is doable almost fullscreen (give or take a quarter screen).

Keep experimenting and having fun with Rail for now, I usually don't withhold information, but I think this is the best time for people to start experimenting with the new combo system and submit cool combos for the video to help promote the game a bit. Transcripts of the combos in the video will be available on request in the channel and probably on the wiki soon as well.

[Darkstalker]

^ Good to know.

The red colour for Rail is buggy, at least for me. The spirit graphics are fucked up.

Oh well, white Rail for me then.

[Xiii]

lol, i'm using white Rail right now too, he's my new pick from the old orange Rail I've been using all of 1.0d, come to the channel and I'll fight you for it!

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Just wanna say lol to whoever neg repped me for asking that the game not be linked anymore

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Delga got nerfed hard for anyone who was thinking about playing him. Shok buffed Delga's throw combo, but everything else (including the throw itself) was raped.

[Xiii]

But Delga wasn't nerfed enough for Spootz to stop playing him, but maybe that's just because Spootz is a pedo furry lover.

[digimonemporer]

vers. 1.11b is really sloppy in terms of layout and character design. I wish I hadn't updated it. but I'm a fan of Monster...solid game fo sho!

doesn anyone have a link to vers. 1.01 that works?:wink:

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

its still being worked on of course and alot of system changes were made. I would suggest that you stick to playing 1.11b AND i would suggest you come by irc so that you can talk with people in IRC about the game

[4649]

Yeah seriously, that's fucked up you guys.
Someone get a mod to delete that link in the last page.

Poor Delga, with his shitty normals and huge damage combos... I want my invincible command grab back! ahha.

Anyways aside from the graphical issues the new patch seems nice, Wolfboy seems to be taken down a notch his normals aren't as bothersome as they were... air to air hits don't always lead to big ole combos now which is nice... Don't know if it's won be back yet or not. But it's interesting.

Just played you, Delga vs. Delga, lag was really bad. We both missed hella shit because of it, to bad cause I swear I used to get good connections with the WC. I'll see ya on TF2 though.

Update seems OK, a bit of getting used to. I still do things that don't work out of habit, even though I haven't played in months.

Delga's fully charged C is funny. 3-5k damage full screen away. Not like anyone would ever let you charge it for 30 full seconds... it could make up for some mind games maybe. Since you can sit in the corner and charge and make them come stop you, only because you can special or jump cancel out of the charge. Doubt it would be handy against any good players.

Barely played it, but I'll check it out some more in between TF2 and GGPO.

[Xiii]

Othello still has one of the best AAs in the game (5b) so I wouldn't really say his normals suffered from much. The new knockdown properties on his attacks screw up old combos, but he has new ones. He still has his blood lockdown as well which is always a pain to fight against.

Played some good matches today. Ill put videos up later. Man I'm glad they gave Delga back range on his command grab... though another few pixels to beat certain really long attacks would be nice. Umm his moves having no priority sucks, considering the range you have to be at to combo things is very tight. Also st.B whiffs over orju crouching fucking up my freedom combos... Oh wellsss I did better when I stuck with monster anyway. Siely is alot of work for not much output (at least when you not in tranq) I have a line on some good freedom combos so we will check that out and her lvl 2 sword super seems like it could be beefy.... Overall this game is lots of fun again without bursts and such and overall the character tweaks are okay, though I liked old delga (as in 1.0a) way better than anything else so far but thats just minor complaints really.

To Spootz: Hopefully we can talk later in IRC,

Sup guys. A lot of WC players now! At first I didn't like a lot of the changes in the patch but after playing for awhile I changed my mind, its all pretty good in my opinion.

As usual, up for games while at college with a good connection (Tues, Wed, Thurs), and sometimes at home when I can get access to the inconveniently placed router.

We need to seriously rep this more.

Random....how exactly?

I mean, about get some control of the powerbreak... i guess i need to study A LOT about characters frames in this game.

[Clear Sky]

It's pretty straightforward....Did you watch the video?

[XAQshinor]

i agree hayama, i dont like the powerbreak system overall.
prolly just bias cuz i play rail but w/e ;p.

[MAGUS1234]

no frames no studying just see who has more and watch the trades

[Xiii]

lol Rail gets shafted by the PB system. He's close to bottom tier because he can no longer end his blockstrings safely with any of his specials and he really has no way of getting anybody off of him once they start rushing him down. He's got combos and setups for them up the wazoo though, so he's like Makoto except you replace the throw with an unblockable which is kinda slow, but still just as deadly.

[Xenozip.]

Agreed. Just learn through experience. It's much much faster and way more accurate than trying to analyze hokus pokus frame data.

Also, new videos up on the community youtube account:
http://www.youtube.com/user/8105Monster

[Xiii]

For anyone that's interested, a couple Japanese Monster matches are being uploaded to the youtube community account. They aren't amazing, but they at least let us peak into the development of the Japanese Monster community.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

The japanese monster community is growing quite a bit. They are starting to finally understand how to take advantage of the powerbreak system. Hopefully they will keep stepping their game up.

[Whodat]

I still play the game actually, but I haven't gotten a chance to play online yet. I just play with a few friends. In any case the changes to the game are interesting to say the least. I don't really like how Maya plays anymore, but it's just something I have to get used to. Also I don't like how Rail's moves don't come out at the same range that they used to.

And what happend to Efleet?

[rogueyoshi]

as i said on irc, i dont like the new pb system. it doesnt really give you a true advantage when you have points on offense, because only one person can have points now. however, i think the old system would only be good if a time limit was introduced, and if throws eliminated defensive points (kinda like how they do now).

[MAGUS1234]

I just hate the new version, turned the cats to pussies. *kick kick snare*

[Xenozip.]

I just hate the new version, turned the cats to pussies. *kick kick snare* So you say. Ryougen is still very buff in my opinion. Personally I just think you're playing him wrong.

Katze is also still very good as well.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

So you say. Ryougen is still very buff in my opinion. Personally I just think you're playing him wrong.

Katze is also still very good as well.

Agreed. I just think he didnt take the time to actually learn anything. PLayed for a few min the packed his bags with out learning anything. Thats what most people do anyway and its kinda sad

Rogue: Eh.... Alot of people hated the old powerbreak system. And i mean ALOT. The newer powerbreak system alot of people have taken a liking to because it isnt as dominating as the old one. (Alot of people meaning the japanese) Though its still taking them a while to adjust to.

[Xiii]

I still say my proposed PB system would be the better as a medium between this system and the old one.

Both players may accumulate points for both attacking and blocking. Points only get reduced to 0 upon getting hit by any move (non-damage throws included). Points do not reset back to 0 upon switching from offense to defense, but instead add up after each successful hitting an opponent (no points awarded for being blocked by an opponent) and blocking an opponent's attack. This means defending characters still accumulate points. while the attacking character gains no additional points so as the attacker's points decline and the defender's points rise, it gives more incentive for the attacker to get any hit off possible including mixing in throws.

I feel like what I came up with would ease the transition much better, even though characters like Siely would really benefit from this system because of her ability to amass points very easily, it still comes down to 1 hit being the deciding factor which sounds fair to me. Instead of doing all the work associated with getting points just to lose your entire advantage to 1 block doesn't seem right to me.

Either way though, game is really fun still aside from all the complaints about not liking certain new features. Hoping to see lots of good improvements in the future as patches become more frequent.

Also to answer Whodat's question about Efleet, he's been taken out in favour of tuning him up and making him a real character. Expect him to return revamped in the next couple patches.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

We are currently working on a project to help improve monsters online gameplay. But it will take time and hopefully we can find the right people for the job. Expect news regarding that as well.

Several things lined up for the near future as well. Possible ranbats, exhibition, and combo videos are all very likely to occur. So please bare with us we are doing our best.

[Whodat]

Yeah I was wondering about Efleet. I mean he was really retarded to play, but he made me laugh so it added an extra element to the game.

I think Orju is completely broken though. I mean combos that didn't work since like 1.0a now seem to be the bread and butter combo. 1 bar equals 75% life plus poison is a little extreme to me. Makes me really have to step my game up, but still it's annoying.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Well, Orju i wouldnt say is broken. But, but he does have somethings that really should be fixed

[Xiii]

Excellent video. The edit was fine IMO. You don't need a crazy edit when your content is great.

BTW, what was the tune in the video?

[Atomic #]

Damn the animation looks really fluid... I like the idea of the heartbeat sound when one is near death; it really adds on the pressure in a crazy ass battle...

What are the specs for playing this game? I think my video card can handle it, its just I want to play at its maximum special effects (especially at the forcebreak moments)

The whole game looks like one long ass watercolor flipbook

I just need to go get a pc controller

[Ashenwraith]

When I first saw "Monster: How many people interested?" my connection was lagging and so I just assumed for some reason you were talking about Monster Hunter and voted no.

Okay, so I downloaded it and checked it out and my opinion is that it's interesting somewhat, but not anything I would want to play.

The characters animate really smoothly and the you tube videos look good.

I wasn't able to get into full screen mode (i'm guessing because it's beta?) which kinda sucked, but the graphics weren't really that impressive compared to how they looked on you tube.

Funny though, the graphics in Blitzkampf (which I just downloaded) are the opposite and look a lot better than Monster.

Blitzkampf is also a lot more fun (especially the characters) and you can kind of get into it despite the silly way some of the characters hold their arms and animate.

All in all, Blitzkampf wins out over Monster because even if they improve the game 1000% the characters will most likely still feel like a kiddie version of Darkstalkers.

The only character I could get into was the lambchops guy who fights by slapping people around and planting floating 'mine-seeds' or whatever, and the circle/glass-break/etc powerup stuff which looked kinda cool in you tube feels odd and uninspiring in actual play.

So if you're like me and you thought Blitzkampf looks like crap on you tube compared to monster, just download it and try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

BUT....

I don't really like Blitzkampf just quite enough to actually invest 'learn-time' into it.

If only the characters animated (not look) like monster, then I'd be all over it :p

/end of opinion

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

There isnt anything to learn in blitzkampf, That game is easy to play.

Kabuki: Bgm from the video was from evil zone(al's theme)

Monster is a good game(Alot deeper than blitzkampf) and the creator is working on the game a great deal. I say its only a matter of time before monster outdoes alot of doujin fighting games.

Blitzkampf is just as deep or more than ST and most people thought ST was plenty deep enough so enough of this 'deep' issue.

Monster has some new system, what is it?

I don't really care because the game doesn't inspire me.

It's like saying game ________ has this really cool boss at the end.

Who cares if you don't like the game enough to get to the end?

I also hear this 'graphics/visuals don't matter gameplay does' bs from people all the time and they're wrong.

They use games like chess as a classic example of 'deep game play' and 'poor visuals'.

Really though when you look at the game you have knights, bishops, kings, queens, castles etc, and symbolically its like operating an army/political powers or whatever and that was pretty cool (especially back in the day).

If chess had taken the loli fighter approach you would have faeries, butterflies, rainbows, smiley faced mushrooms and maybe a unicorn if we were lucky.

Could you imagine nobles or scholars fighting it out with rainbows and butterflies?

Looks like a real intellectual game, maybe they could make it 'deeper' by adding a bonus if you put pink dresses on your pieces.

Visuals are a strong part of what the game is - most humans aren't computers that play anything based purely on frame/technical data (Yes, this is despite all the crap about frame data/accuracy you hear on SRK).

Seriously, if that were the case go make your own 'deep' fighter where the characters are simply a square, circle, and a triangle - you could probably make it in flash in a day if you had any skills.

But getting back to my point, people aren't computers - they have standards.

Some call it 'taste', I call it common sense.

If you dont care to know then why ask the question? You are entitled to your opinion but your opinion is also based on assumptions. Gameplay -is- and always has been more important in fighting games than looks. Something that looks very simple could be just as hard as the next thing. Any blitzkampf player will tell you that blitzkampf is -not- a hard game to pick up. Hell it isnt even a hard game to get good at. Ive played blitzkampf for an extended ammount of time so i know what im talking about in that regard

If you dont like the game thats you. But Spitting out information on things you dont even know about is kinda silly ya?

There's a difference between a game being 'easy to pick up' and 'being good' at it.

One is revealed when newcomers are enjoying themselves and the other through tournaments and MMs.


And what's there not to know about?

I know I don't like it and I'm far from alone so what's the problem or do you just have an issue with everyone who doesn't happen to like this game?

Ashenwraith: You are welcome to your opinion and thank you for checking out the game though it appears as if you only tried the demo rather than the full game. Doesn't seem that you've really tried to play either at all though so basing your preferences off of first glance is really a shame. If you don't like the game, then you don't, but we will continue to be around for people who are interested in picking up and learning the game. Join us on IRC, the server and channel is in my signature.

digimonemporer: Not yet, though it doesn't really affect how Katze plays. Hopefully some of the changes the community suggested are implemented as Katze isn't as good as he used to be.

MAGUS1234: You should come back to the channel, there are more active WC players now than EC which is kinda irking the few active EC players left.

[Whodat]

I hope this turns out ok. I really used to like this game.

[[Real_bout]Yang]

i don't know if the game is going to have vids in the future, but this :

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Most everyone already knows about that, But thanks for posting it again lol

[mcginnis]

those furry's really make it uncomfortable for me to play. :lol:

[[Real_bout]Yang]

ah sorry dude xD
maybe i can put a rickroll or something xD

well i hope this patch come more fast than the previous one, sorry again :P

anyway, you guys are helping in the develope of the game in some ways? or just helping in the gameplay?

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

As far as i know i am the only person outside of japan that helps shok with stuff relating to gameplay.

[Turbovec]

Is there an eta at this point for the new patch, or is it still kinda up in the air right now?

[Xiii]

As with anything involving ShoK, no real ETAs, it's here when it's here... and unfortunately we might have to wait for a leak rather than a real patch =( but you know Aya loves you. When we get it, everyone gets it, doesn't do us any good to keep this game secretive and unplayed =/

[digimonemporer]

Where is the patch just before the 1.11b?

I have 1.11b and I want to downgrade to the one below it!

[digimonemporer]

bump

Does anyone know?

[Xenozip.]

I have it.

I can send it to you on IRC or email or something.

Yes, congrats!:wgrin:

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

is this game free? if so can someone link to a download? if not. please disregard this message.

[dobiqwolf]

hello, I cant find the irc channel, where is it please

[Hayama Akito]

YAY! Monster coming in the same arcade board of Arcana Heart 2!

[Master Chibi]

Wow, good shit!

[Ichimaru]

Ok...I downloaded the Trial Version. And, since i was a furry before that...automatically loved the game. Now comes the problem, it's the trial version. I have seen people playing with the characters that are locked on the Trial Version. Maybe somebody knows where the complete version might be? Or does it come with the future patches?

[nGuman]

Looks interesting.... I might want to try it out.

Pm me if you want the full version of the game. Sadly I cannot post where you can get it.

[CyberAkuma]

While you're here, Chipp...

Any interesting updates we should stand to know about? Like possibly an upcoming LokeTest, or some other means that Monster AC will be displayed, in the near future?

Just wondering...I mean, like so many other things I'm looking forward to, I have little else to go on besides being able to read/hear/see some impressions from Japanese players and other news, at least, until a console port eventually comes out.

So any thing you could stand to keep us all posted would be appreciated, I'm sure.

449 is in discussion. <--nagging does get somewhere =P! Sup spootz, been a while

Possible location test in may i think shok said? Ill have to recheck for actual date

And, I managed to get an interview with him, I will post it at some point or another. Some pretty good info

Yeah. My computer broke, so I didn't have one for a few months. Got a new one now, and I hop in to the Akasuki mIRC every once-in-awhile. The Monster one no longer exists I guess.

Loc test in May? Hopefully we'll see some vids. I'm looking forward to updated graphics. And I'm sure there will be completely new mechanics in place; knowing how shok never seems to stay with the same ones for long. Plus, I'm sure everyone wants to see the new character in action. Wonder how she'll play (assuming she is as varied as the rest of the cast). Oh, oh...also aleks with MOVES!?!??!

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Ill make a new room when its time for it. I was in japan for the last few weeks, best trip of my life lol. As for vids. There will be vids for sure.

Good stuff. I'll look forward to the interview, definitely. And seeing the new GFX in action should be great, especially if the animation is as smooth as it's always been.

Also, is there any word on how music seems to be shaping up this time? Like with Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers (another one of my fave fighting games, as you already know), I really didn't think going with "ambient" music is suiting for a game, where the focus is meant for punching people in the face. Even Melty Blood eventually caved in and gave us some more upbeat music after an update or two, and I'd like MONSTER to have at least a few tracks that could be like such. If Examu could also help him in this arena, that would be appreciated, I'd assure you. :china:

449 is in discussion. <--nagging does get somewhere =P!

So, therefore, are you saying that if we reasonably nag you, we get to use you as a means to help influence the game further, and (ideally) make it better?

:woot:

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

What im saying is, Its already in discussion between me and shok lol(449)

[CyberAkuma]

What im saying is, Its already in discussion between me and shok lol(449)

I got that. But I'm just saying, I'm sure there were a number of other concerns that people had that they would like addressed...especially when it comes to talking about the most recent patch...

But whatever, hope all goes well.

[Hayama Akito]

The other Monster AC thread dies so... i will post this here:

http://www.examu.co.jp/ex-board/index.html

Examu opens the EX-BOARD site, and its seems that this is the only first screen of Monster AC that you can see:

http://www.examu.co.jp/ex-board/img/top.gif

Yeah, i know that its too small but at least you can see that the bar meters has been changed.

[Xenozip.]

Tranq is now Defender?

Hehehe.

[FullMetalRoss]

wow things are super colorful. And I totally like the name Tranquility better.

[digimonemporer]

So is everyone done playing the PC version and now just waiting for the arcade version to be released?

Did they ever fix that color glitch in 1.11b with uhmmm what's his name...? :rofl:

[FullMetalRoss]

it wasn't a glitch I don't think... the complete sprites just weren't put in yet. People don't really play 1.11b anymore. Probably cause it's not yet complete and most of the cool stuff combo wise was found out, including a few infinites so now people are just waiting for the next revision.

[Xenozip.]

We had a growing community up until the peak of 1.01.

When 1.11b hit, things died out.

That's just how things are. No one wants to patch back to 1.01 despite the fact that it was extremely fun, and no one really wants to play 1.11b.

Things were really quite fun when 1.01 was standard, but you can't expect people to patch back to an earlier version. And I speak of many years of Melty Blood experience. We'll just have to wait until the arcade version (assuming there will be no further PC patches).

[digimonemporer]

well I have 1.01 and haven't been able to play vs anyone and I would love to get some matches in. so if anyone is down and has experience playing online hit me up and show me the ropes if that's cool

aim = devildigimon

[rogueyoshi]

i don't mind playing with you but it'll definitely have to wait til later or something.

im gonna dust off dat brokesauce othello and siely.

[digimonemporer]

lol okay just hit me up on aim

I also have Akatsuki as well, and been itchin to play someone in that as well

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

http://ayaimmortal.blogspot.com/ <--- I have updated with Ancient cline system changes (these are changes ive tested and played with for myself)

[4649]

good shit!
Siely IAD <3

[Hayama Akito]

Awesome! still cant wait for an in-game trailer ;_;

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

This is a combo i am doing with the new system changes(no GUI changes thus far) This test is simply for the system. Be thankful lol, cause im not actually supposed to show this footage. And sorry for the bad recording -_-; This video will be pulled down in a few hours. At the very latest, at the end of the day.

Woah! thanks man, seems very nice but by the way... i feel that this game really need to get the damage much more low, but thats IMHO.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

The damage has been lowered ALOT in this game, ITs very hard to get massive damage

[Hayama Akito]

Thats good to know because Monster was full of 100% combos, keep the great work! im very hyped with Monster AC because maybe it will be not too popular but at least a very technical game.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

As it currently stands, MAC(Monster Ancient cline) Is very technical and NOTHING that has worked in previous versions of the game currently work with the new system. The new system is so great because now you wont have extremely long combos killing your opponent in 3 seconds. Now the game is equally offensive as it is defensive. When i get the OK to do so ill show off other characters but until then, Thats the best i can do.

Yes there are 6 new characters incase everyone was wondering if that was confirmed or not. It is indeed a fact. Shok, His team, And myself are all working very hard to make sure monster is a VERY solid game and we want to generate as much interest as possible!
