Akatsuki BLITZKAMPF - PC Thread (1131sp1) - Its still playable!!

a) google up a program called Xpadder
b) disable direct input
c) map the axes and buttons of the doa4 stick to your keyboard using Xpadder
d) nonprofit

[ToyRobotTerror]

Sorry if that sounded overly mean I didn't mean it too.... I still think this vid is leaps above your first one. Also if you are gonna make a third one, I'd look into things like using fireballs for interupts in combos or something like that...

Not at all i really appreciate honest opinions. As it looks now seeing matchvids from ko-hatsu the game engine looks to have some changes and some new stuff will surely be avialble. However if i want another combovid i would rather participate in someone elses or make a short one(like a minute or 2). So if anyone is making a combovid when 1.0.2 comes out i´ll gladly contribute if i find stuff.

If everything goes smoothly (that's his words), beta version of the next patch, which will upgrade A:BK to SP1 (or v1.1.0), shall be uploaded sometimes next week.
:looney:

[H-F Blade]

That's not too far away. o.O

[Kayin]

Fuck yeah~!

I have the feeling Aka's gonna get the shaft tho, he's stupid good.

[H-F Blade]

If Aka gets nerfed, I wouldn't be surprised. I wonder if Adler will have new voice samples.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet but the wiki for this game can be found here (http://akatsuki.mizuumi.net/index.php/Main_Page).

[woof]

whos in charge of that thing


theres a spelling mistake for murakumo's article and i cant fix it @A@

[H-F Blade]

I have no idea who's in charge. But yeah, I noticed that error too and I don't know how to fix that or add a new page on the side.

[Daddyneptune]

I just started playing this today. Very good game. Does anyone else use Wei?

[woof]

@A@;;;;;;;;;;;

[TempestFox]

So what do I do with this, just extract it into my AB folder?

[TempestFox]

I'm in the lobby.


BRING IT SON

[Kayin]

Dammit, nobody's in right nao~

[TempestFox]

I think my firewall sucks. Or something.

[woof]

i am pretty sure you have to port forward to use lobby

gonna check what it is righ tnow




or MMMAYBE its not enabled yet idk!!

what i CAN confirm though is that netplay is definitely better from my experience

[Turbovec]

Anyone know how to unlock Helheim mode? Valhalla is just too easy. ;_;

[woof]

OK still dont know how to setup lobby

w/e



adlers real fun

[H-F Blade]

I don't know about Adler, I was looking forward to playing him but I'm not so sure now. :\ His fireballs aren't all that fast and they don't go very far, his 22 move looks like it has limited use even as anti-air. It seems the only good special he has is the flash kick which has the built-in followup. He seems to have quite a few normals though, namely when you hold the button down. His level 3 looks like Ouroboros, but....suckier. :\ Bleh. It's still too early to tell I suppose. I'd like to see everyone else's input on him.

[Gasp]

updated but i got nothing on the ss lobby

[Bob Poundmax]

The updated userface is meh but color edit is fucking awesome.

[woof]

his fbs arent bad dude

22C has good range and decent recov and sometimes works as AA, i use it often if opponent doesnt tech after knockdown

flashkicks are ok, sometimes can be safe on block depending on distance. you can combo into it twice in one string



i like adler :7)

[PARKER C.MURDOCK]

I just downloaded this game and I can't seem to get it to work.:sad:

How's the hitbox on his 22C? And can you write out a combo that uses 2 flashkicks (preferably one that can't be tech rolled)? :X Also, do you know or see any practical use for his level 3? I'm thinking it may have projectile invincibility but the ball of electricity moves pretty slow so he might be open to attacks if it's not in front of him. I just wish it hit more times as opposed to only once every cycle. Or even make it move faster. :\

EDIT: Nvm, the A version of his flash kick causes an untechable floor bounce when they initially hit the ground. His 22_ attacks combo from all his normals midscreen so that's pretty good. He feels like a hybrid of Akatsuki and Soldat, moreso with Soldat moves though.

[Nwordtim]

man Alder is pretty fun maybe not the best of characters but, fun nontheless imo

[woof]

OK, figured out SS matching web thanks to sibladeko


you have to open up config and go to the very last tab
step 1 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v343/Corelkun/a1.gif)
click config and then change the default settings to your ip/port used.
step 2 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v343/Corelkun/a2.gif)
click OK and then your new friend code should display for you to hand out to all th edrug dealers
step 3 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v343/Corelkun/a3.gif)
after that you can add all of your wussy little friends that will never be online ever again after day 1






ps my friendcode is a4222031411e2046314018014

I GUESS THE SMART THING TO DO NOW WOULD BE TO COPYPASTE YOUR FRIENDCODES

[Daddyneptune]

Ok my config isn't opening could you help me out?

[Nwordtim]

Ah man sweet this is cool really wanted to start playing online again but i hated doing irc so I said forget it but now with a lobby this is looking pretty cool.

Anyways My code: a12420344123484721b116027

[H-F Blade]

Has anyone managed to test the replay system yet? I'm on a different computer that doesn't have the game so I can't try it out yet. There were a lot of issues with the old one and I really hope they were addressed. Namely the inability to speed up the replay or exit to the title screen while the replay was active.

[woof]

Ok my config isn't opening could you help me out?
read first page :wink:

Hope to see you all there!

[Kayin]

Adding everyone I can~

[woof]

ggs to d_neptune

looks like we had some random slowdown lag near the start and halfway through. input wasn't too bad though!




ADDIN ALL YOU CATS

[Daddyneptune]

Yeah I noticed so times I tried to input dd+1 commands and it wasn't happening.

Woof and his multi color Characters LOL. I tasted plenty of the rainbow.

[woof]

:7)

has anyone tried to see if adler can link anything off his f+B? i've tried for a few minutes with no success so far ..

[Hayama Akito]

I tried to play with Neptune but it doesnt works =/ dont know why, i tried with other people and i dont have any problem.

[woof]

sometimes it all depends on who hosts. i can't connect to a majority of the people in this game unless i'm hosting!

[Bob Poundmax]

I just went online for the first time today and I got owned for free........

[Kayin]

:7)

has anyone tried to see if adler can link anything off his f+B? i've tried for a few minutes with no success so far ..

I messed around with that a bit, I can't even get 2A off of it. So I'm assuming it's either impossible or a really fucking strict link.

[Daddyneptune]

I tried to play with Neptune but it doesnt works =/ dont know why, i tried with other people and i dont have any problem.

I tried to play you and the same thing happened

[Hayama Akito]

I will enter again... lets see what happened, i played with 3 players with decent lag at least.

EDIT: Now works with Dr. Neptune but the lag was hellish >_< maybe is because we are from different countries? i played with other people without problem so its strange... i got a 1MB connection.

[Daddyneptune]

Wow that lag was just down right ridiculous. I even closed down my messenger.

[Hayama Akito]

Wow that lag was just down right ridiculous.

Yeah... i dont know why, maybe is because im from too far (Chile) and i just got 1MB connection, but as i said, i dont have that problem before, sorry...

it was fun

Yeah gs dude.
I have a cable modem too it shouldn't be that bad.

1.5 mb download and 352 kb upload
errahh
ill see about tweaking a.b and playing later.

[Daddyneptune]

Turbovec gs aww man. have to do it again later.

[Turbovec]

Yeah, ggs. Sorry I had to leave like that, but I have some stuff I need to do. :sad:

[Daddyneptune]

thats cool. hot matches

[Turbovec]

Also, for some fucking retarded reason, I still don't have Helheim in my game. Can anyone help me out?

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Also, for some fucking retarded reason, I still don't have Helheim in my game. Can anyone help me out?

I don't know if I can really help you Turbo. But I started with Helheim Mode in my game. Of course, I had already beaten Arcade Mode with every character (except Adler...duh) when I put the patch on. Have you done that yet?

[H-F Blade]

Was taunting possible in the previous versions?

[woof]

yeaop

[nothingxs]

wait you can taunt?

[Nwordtim]

yes I believe it was A+C at the same time to taunt ^_^

[H-F Blade]

Yeah I didn't really notice that until now. I've been unable to taunt using Mycale, Wei, Blitztank, and Murakumo though.

[bellreisa]

To H-F Blade and Nekich, good fucking job on the wiki, I really appreciate it guys. Step that shit up, I'm finally getting into the game as well.

[Turbovec]

No, I haven't beaten t with all the charaters. I guess I'll have to do that. Does it matter what difficulty its on, or can I just breeze through it on easy?

[H-F Blade]

You can clear it on easy.

@bell: Would it be possible to create a separate page for listing all the version changes? Or should that go in the FAQ? I was also wondering about a media page too because there's a youtube user "Blitzkampf" who has uploaded almost all if not most of the ko-hatsu matches thus far. Speaking of which does anyone know if there are other websites out there that post match vids?

[bellreisa]

http://akatsuki.mizuumi.net/index.php/Friend_codes

[bellreisa]

@bell: Would it be possible to create a separate page for listing all the version changes?

Done.

[woof]

thanks for that bellybell


also: gameplay changes translated
Take this with a grain of salt, as some things may be incorrect, though i hope most stuff reflects real changes.

1.General Changes
-changed unability to guard low hits while in the air
-characters, guard crushed in air, now, upon landing, are vulnerable for 60F now
-changed so that if wakeup throw's invincibility puts out reflector it is cleared (i don't get it...)

2.Character Specific Changes
Akatsuki:
-unificated so that invincibility for 22 move lasts until attack frames start
-EX 236 invincibility -2F, aerial EX 236 invincibility -5F
-damage reduced for EX 236, Air EX 236, EX 214, Air EX214 and Level 3

-normal ground throw has +2F advantage
-vulnerability upon landing +2F

Marilyn:
-feints' vulnerability -2F
-6B and 4B vulnerability -2F

-damage of 4C reduced by 100pts, startup +3F
-shortened the delay for shooting normals (?)
-changed so that it's no longer possible to guard back (?) during 5A, 5B, 214 and 22 moves
-vulnerability upon landing after aerial shooting +8F (normals only)
-reduced health gained after the revival from 25% to 12.5%

Soldat:
-[2]8 hitbox increased from behind

Murakumo:
-travelling distance of 2B was shortened a bit

-no more partial invincibility of [2]8 move, damage reduced by 200pts
-ground throw startup +1F
-distance travelled after crouching parry was shortened
-EX [4]6 damage reduced

3.Bugfixes
-fixed a bug with Marilyn's level 3 super, where if she recieved damage after the first (?) hit, the opponent would freeze in hitstun motion and Marilyn kept moving (something like that)
-fixed a bug in Time Attack when even if the CPU was defeated, timer did not recover
-fixed a bug in Sugoroku where in encounters with several opponents judgment was incorrect in case of time up
-fixed a bug with Marilyn's triangle jump in Tag Mode
-fixed a bug in Tag versus mode, where command list in pause screen got screwed up

[Zaelar]

-changed so that if wakeup throw's invincibility puts out reflector it is cleared (i don't get it...)

Sounds like if you wakeup reflector you lose your throw invincibility. (reflector is the parry thing)

[caliagent#3]

LOL wow......why did they rape nun??? She was already hard enough to play....

[JNK]

So how do you extract the patch into the existing program? I've placed it in the folder and put the patch files in with the others, but I still get V1.0.

[4649]

add meeeeeee
42222024a2020320101c2041c

[Gasp]

nerf fest.
kanae's throw is still dogshit.
nothing better then having to block right after throwing.

[Master Chibi]

LOL wow......why did they rape nun??? She was already hard enough to play....

Yeah, this is bullshit, none of her changes even make sense.

:annoy::annoy::annoy::annoy::annoy:

[H-F Blade]

Yeah a lot of these changes don't make any sense to me either. I suppose these are still subject to change when the full ver.1.10 comes out.

[woof]

THEYvE BEEN PLACIN IN KOHATSU SO OF COURSE THAT MEANS THEYRE TOO GOOD

I think you can see the problem here.

Neither one of your filled out your IP; so you just have the "default" code...which doesn't work, of course.

Fill out the IP/port parts and then re-post.

[4649]

whoops ;_;

[Master Chibi]

THEYvE BEEN PLACIN IN KOHATSU SO OF COURSE THAT MEANS THEYRE TOO GOOD

The Anonym's in Kohatsu suck.

[Ryo Yamazaki]

I like Adler. Though is it just me, or does he feel like an unfinished character?

Contrary to what the other poster said, his fb is good imo

[woof]

i think adlers fine

he isnt heavy on damage but he has plenty of good tools

[Nwordtim]

Adler has a few of great anti air moves and since he has the blitz bomb as a Special and EX move it really great pokes and combos finishers imo.

[H-F Blade]

Adler does feel a bit unfinished. I can't get his 214A to combo off a string that's more than 1 hit. And the first hit of 214A doesn't hit crouching opponents even when you're right next to them. :confused:

[HeLGeN-X]

I dislike this game, I tried the trial, and it's quite ugly, Monster seems better, but BBB all the way.

[shadowcharlie]

i like how they nerf sais only solid AA option and rape nun.
chibi is right the kohatsu nun is pretty terrible
btw
.blitztank unchanged? =DDD

[Master Chibi]

I dislike this game, I tried the trial, and it's quite ugly, Monster seems better, but BBB all the way.

It's freaking 3S with nazis, how can you dislike it?

[H-F Blade]

It's freaking 3S with a KoF juggle system and nazis, how can you dislike it?
Fixed. :wgrin:

[Master Chibi]

I don't see much wrong with that ;p.

[H-F Blade]

Well, the combo system does feel a bit KoF-ish to me, namely how the opponents get juggled. But as far as looks go, this game is beautiful. Probably the most detailed sprites for a doujin fighter yet even if it doesn't have as many frames of animation as some others. But you really gotta like how they do the shadows and reflections.

[Master Chibi]

If anything the sprites look like a better SNK / KoF style.

This game > BBB full screen for sure.

[XAQshinor]

If anything the sprites look like a better SNK / KoF style.

This game > BBB full screen for sure.

What? My character is beyond pure shit now, how can you 'bah' me when I still want to play?

[XAQshinor]

What? My character is beyond pure shit now, how can you 'bah' me when I still want to play?

wtf they nerfed her?!?!

how? WHY?!?

[Kayin]

Yet they do very little in terms of Aka having stupid damage. :rofl:

[Master Chibi]

wtf they nerfed her?!?!

how? WHY?!?

I don't know.

Seriously sometimes I question who the fuck is in charge of these things, it practically hurts my soul.

[Johneh]

I seriously can't play BBB because of how shitty the sprites look (yes, yes, pound that negative rep). As for Akatsuki, the only reason I do play it is because it looks pretty. Sure, a lot of characters are based around each other. Sure, the background couldn't be deader. But atleast I don't see a single god damn pixel.

Seriously, I don't care how much better the game play of BBB is. I cannot stand playing as a compilation of squares.

[ToyRobotTerror]

Someone should ask the developer what the hell he's doing. Don't they have a bbs?

[H-F Blade]

Yet they do very little in terms of Aka having stupid damage. :rofl:
Haha dude we were talking about this not too long ago. I figured if they took away his 6C entirely then he'd easily drop a few spots in the tiers. I'm thinking even if they did take that way he'd still have easy hit-confirmable combos due to the fact that few characters can chain 2B>5B and he could still use 214B for corner juggling.

[Gasp]

its not better.
im all about the OG gameplay over the
melty blood/hakuto no ken/eternal fighter zero gameplay
:)
no offense

[Master Chibi]

-changed priority of normal moves

How? Are they refering to 'normals' or something else?

-4B and 1B no longer travel forward, startup +1F

Lame, they literally cut off damage off a bullet-less combo in the corner for no reason.

-damage of 6C reduced by 100pts, forward momentum was reduced, startup +1F, vulnerability +2F

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY ON?

-damage of 4C reduced by 100pts, startup +3F

I KNOW! LET'S FUCK WITH ONE OF THE BEST AA OPTIONS SHE'S GOT!

AWESOME.

-shortened the delay for shooting normals (?)

Gee thanks.

-changed so that it's no longer possible to guard back (?) during 5A, 5B, 214 and 22 moves

Meaning what exactly?
-vulnerability upon landing after aerial shooting +8F (normals only)

WHY? WHY?? WHY??? WHY???? WHY????

-reduced health gained after the revival from 25% to 12.5%

Morons. I almost never have lvl 3, but this is just bullshit, seriously.

Bunch of fucking idiots.

[Henaki]

whats the most reliable way to knockdown with adler, just specials?

he has godly oki but almost no damage output lol, i can think of
ground crossups
really hit/throw on wakeup
ways to not die while mixing up
good lows highs and throws haha

half of his mixup game comes from his QCB move.

[H-F Blade]

Well, Adler's 5C and 2C are both knockdowns. Same as his 4C. :X

I put up a gatling chart on the wiki for Akatsuki's page. I was thinking it may look a bit more organized rather than writing these overly long descriptions. Would it be a good idea to do the same for the other characters?

[D'Nyc3]

give me a combo for them that isnt a corner juggle off 22C i havent discovered yet

[H-F Blade]

Unfortunately none of his other normals will combo into any of those. :\ But in the corner, you can do 5B,214A(1hit),236BC, 5C/4C/2[C]. But since the opponent floats for quite a while, there's more damage to be had there. I'm kinda surprised that his C and EX fireballs aren't knockdowns though.

[roninwarrior24]

Dammit was EVERY character nerfed in the patch? I don't see any drastic changes in the tiers or anything, nor do I see a better balanced game. I feel sorry for Anonym players, she suffered from the Raphael syndrome.

BTW, I play Soldat, so if anyone here can give me gameplay advice with him, it'd be gladly appreciated.

[shadowcharlie]

^blitztank! didnt seem to get anything changed


OH yea,nice PoR av chibi=]

[Ryo Yamazaki]

You know, I was hoping that Sai would be better in the patch. But the devs don't seem to have tackled any of the problems he has but instead have weakened one of the things that makes him able to compete (I'm actually suprised that they left the crossup as is).

Sai STILL only has one useable move ouside of combos. Sai is STILL unsafe. If I wanted to play a character where I can only use normals to win I would play Fritz

[shadowcharlie]

^finally someone understands where im comming from

[tl_crow]

They made Marylin better and they raped Nun, lol.

I am so confused. :(

[woof]

not like we can give feedback or anything like i already stated on the first page of this thread (http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/game/9028/)

yeah i genuinely don't like how hes balancing the game (down, not up)

theres very little bullshit in the game so it feels rather boring. hopefully the dev will balance upward in the future, but i like a lot of the game.

oh and color edit mode is sweet i made a black cop version of kanae :]

[Turbovec]

So bored....someone play me. Free wins. ;_;

Hmmz...guess I'll be playing this for awhile, I jumped on the BBB/Akatsuki bandwagon. Anyways, my fc is 9628101484222c31114829c61 and yes, I just got back from getting my butt kicked by turbovec. *returns to sobbing* :sweat:

Just a suggestion, you should post a draft of the email in this thread so other players can give feedback before you actually send it. Might help.

I sent one yesterday.

We'll see if I can a reply.

Christ the Nun sucks even more fat donkey balls now.

Seriously give her ONE god damn combo that doesn't require a hit confirm / meter, that's all I'm asking for. Getting hit by zombie auto pilot Marilyn just makes my eyes roll to the back of my head anyway.

Why the hell is Marily so beefy? Why is that bitch hadr to beat?

Autoguard that goes through everything (literally), braindead rush down, long combos, stupid bitch, hate her to hell, fuck that shit.

[Master Chibi]

not lows

Yeah well it LITERALLY goes through everything else that's meant to be used to zone / space then it just gets a bit annoying. Still hella stupid to fight against (with Nun anyway).

sooo, apparently, the author didn't reply, right?

[Master Chibi]

Yeah, I didn't get a reply at all.

he still might reply. maybe he's a busy dude.

[nekich]

Or maybe he didn't want to translate it?
Maybe. But in his blog he states that a lot of e-mails regarding the last patch were recieved, and he plans to tune the game further, using gathered suggestions/opinions/complaints etc.
He also plans to make Matching Web easier to use (whatever that means).

Thanks for the link to the replays, I rather see that than youtube vids.

[Emil]

So...how is the lag now? Did they fix it? I"m thinking of getting into this, assuming the lag was fixed.

[Zaelar]

After playing this weekend my Myacle felt nerfed. Still useable, just can't be spam happy.

[Zakuta]

It's freaking 3S with a reasonable reversal system, KoF juggle system and nazis, how can you dislike it?

Fixed further O LAWD!

[Hayama Akito]

This game needs at least 2 new characters, a new final boss, make Murakumo a normal (and balanced) character and release to Arcades... and voila, one of the best fighting games ever.

[shadowcharlie]

^mura is not unbalanced...hes fine as is imo ask eric what he thinks on this
i just want nun upped a bit and the major change to the reflect timming, make it a bit less forgiving please...

[Hayama Akito]

[H-F Blade]

Most of the characters' level 3 do a lot of damage so that doesn't really say much. :\

[Master Chibi]

yeah lets make the nun NOT SUCK

[DarkNecrid]

btw, a guy translated the story and its not nazi's. The game takes place in an alternate future tho. E-Soldat is a member of this totalitarian government, but no mention of nazis. :<

Is there any more info on this?

[Hayama Akito]

Is there any more info on this?

I guess that we all know that the guys from Akatsuki are not "nazis" but is just a excuse for show that their ARE anyway... speaks German, "Seig Heil", clothes, totalitarism, etc.

Still, has anyone really translate something? url plz!

[Gasp]

isn't it based off the book "The Man in the High Castle" though? where germany won WWII? i can understand them hiding all the nazi symbolism but one glimpse at their outfits and theres no conclusion other then they're nazis

[Kayin]

Source? I'm really interested in this game's story now.

[H-F Blade]

Someone needs to translate the text for the intros, endings, and mid-boss dialogues for each of the characters.

[woof]

didnt nekich translate a little bit of story stuff

[H-F Blade]

It was the stuff from the character select screen iirc.

[nekich]

I've trascripted Akatsuki's story mode dialogues and whatnot, but never got around translating it (mostly because i've posted it on a doujinshi site, and there wasn't enough interest for this game =/). Oh yeah, i've translated the game intro. Just don't know where to put it.

Also, Murakumo was an officer for a German army. And i spotted "Ahnenerbe" in Adler's selection screen description.


ps. might as well here:
-Year 266X A.C.
-Arctic Ocean
-A submarine, sunken in the days of War's closure, during the transportation of a new military unit from an allied country, suddenly surfaces.
-The one who appears, is a military technical officer of the former empire...
-Akatsuki

-Chrysanthemum and Sword
-Blood and Iron
-Crime and Punishment
-Wisdom and Love

-Akatsuki Blitzkampf


pps. indeed, Ahnenerbe it is. Adler is one walking nazi reference...

[shadowcharlie]

Yeah but Murakumo can grab you with his level 3 EVERYWHERE when you are close (even in jump... or in the back)its a lvl3 with no range, it better be able to do at least that....:looney:

Agreed. I'm still baffled at why they decided to "nerf" her.....she wasn't even that good lol

[Master Chibi]

Agreed. I'm still baffled at why they decided to "nerf" her.....she wasn't even that good lol

I've run out of ways to describe how much mental anguish I went through trying to contemplate exactly why she needed to be 'nerfed' in any way, shape, or form. She was easily the worst character in the game before, but it wasn't a COMPLETE loss. There's just NO REASON to make her worse. She needs a meterless combo really badly, this shit is just hurting me man, seriously.

I never got an email back from the creator either.

[Zakuta]

Anonym players have no room to complain, Kanae pretty much always had nothing =)

[Master Chibi]

Anonym players have no room to complain, Kanae pretty much always had nothing =)

Um noo, Kanae has mix ups, and a very much worthwhile corner combo. She had a decent rushdown too, and pretty much everything she does ends with knockdown where she's right next to you again. She also has a cross up and a mean guessing game with 'tk' j.2C, plus anti air throw.

[Gasp]

...whos knocking kanae?!?!?:annoy::annoy::annoy:

[Lebowsk1]

isn't it based off the book "The Man in the High Castle" though? where germany won WWII?
Wow, that is one great book. Phillip K Dick at his best. Amazing to think it may have been the inspiration for a fighting game! But then why not, I've seen a fighting game based on Les Miserables out there somewhere (although it was of nowhere near the quality of AB).

Everyone seen the new vids? Nun wins won, loses one. Gets totally beasted during the loss actually, but good to see her pick up a win.

[caliagent#3]

Anonym players have no room to complain, Kanae pretty much always had nothing =)

kanae rapes nun in the corner....

[nekich]

In the last pack of replays (14.07), in the second match between Adler and Soldat (in Akatsuki's stage), the former did a 43 hit combo using his lv3, that took away ~1/3-1/2 of Soldat's health. Did Soldat miss his opportunity to recover or this combo is actually possible in a real match?

[Hydra632]

Haven't played in awhile but I'm curious about how Wei has been affected by the patches. Anyone got the lowdown on the current state of Wei?

[H-F Blade]

Known changes for Wei.

Wei:
-2A priority changed;
-changed unability to roll after the airthrow;
-recovery for A and B versions of [4]6 move +2F;
-no more invincibility after the 22 move's timer has ran out;

And that one Adler combo was sick. I had a feeling you'd be able to do some kind of loop while the projectile was out but I had no idea what it could be.

[PersonaDark]

Wow, that is one great book. Phillip K Dick at his best. Amazing to think it may have been the inspiration for a fighting game! But then why not, I've seen a fighting game based on Les Miserables out there somewhere (although it was of nowhere near the quality of AB).

It's called Arm Joe. I think.

murakumo is still not unbalanced, say hello to damage scaling

[Zakuta]

kanae rapes nun in the corner....

The only character she rapes...? .___.

Plenty of things Kanae could do, but the developers are too scared to take the risks! If they're gonna throw out game revisions every now and then, at least, you know, try something daring like, allow Kanae to cancel from her medium attacks!

[Henaki]

yeah i really hope the developer actually buffs the characters because right now the game is really lacking in lots of fun bullshit. half the fun of fighters is having really broken shit countered by really broken shit.

ps kanae sucks

[ToyRobotTerror]

ps kanae sucks
nuh uh

[PersonaDark]

I tried the patch finally now that finals are over.

I see why people are pissed, I sure as hell am about Sai. He seemed slower now, enough to throw off some of my combos. It seems like everyone but Akasuki and Marylin got the shaft, though the slight delay in Mycale's attacks seems for the better. (Save for the backstabber spear, now I have to bounce people into it more than use as a wakeup.)

Adler though is pure sex. I found the ability to 'hide' his Heavy projectile within his projectile special or overlap the special onto the projectile, which gives me ideas for projectile traps and combos with him. Would this be considered cheap?

[PersonaDark]

[nekich]

Maybe it's a common knowledge already, but one of the replays demonstrates a bug (Adler v Soldat in Muro's stage, VS20070714154144).
At the end of the first round Soldat, being on the far right side of the stage, fires his EX projectile, Adler start backdashing like crazy and Soldat follows him. At one point both of them outrace the fireball so that it's left behind the screen. And what do you know? It actually disappears. ._.
I've reproduced that in Practice. Now i wonder:
-Are japanese players aware of this bug? Seeing how in most matches they start backdashing from every projectile, makes me think positive. Abusers.
-And do Akatsuki's/Murakumo's fireballs have the same problem?

edit: probably no, Akatsuki's are too fast...

edit2: also, Sai recieved only 1 change (if only the patch readme listed all of the changes that is), how can he be slower?

[FoldoutChair]

I'm having trouble with Adler's combos. Anyone have any yet?

Edit: I found that you can follow up your throw with a 22A, B or C. The super version doesn't do too much more damage but you can end a match with it.

B, 214C comes out with about 2K damage. AB214C gets about the same. That's all I could find for now. Adding a 22C adds about 200 damage. It's a nice little OTG; passing it up keeps them down a bit longer if you want to do some more on wakeup.

[ToyRobotTerror]

Anonym still have most her useless and useful stuff except super after knee, she can also now link an dd+C after 123 guns. b+A, b+B, b+C, f+C still works but the timing is different . Kanaes 3 supers combo timing is different. Adler has some fun otg stuff with his qcb+a. In the corner qcb+a qcb+c xx qcf+bc is it unblockable? Can someone try it since i dont know anyone who plays it and training mode dummy guard options suck.

[nekich]

A couple of new vids on Ko-Hatsu (http://www.ko-hatsu.com/), from 21.07 (under the Event menu). Only 2 vids (Aka v Soldat, Fritz v Soldat), no replay files so far.

Also, there is now a Words (http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~subtle/akatsukibk/words.html) page on game's site. So far it's a short storyline glossary (contains mild spoilers, but i bet people here have already seen all the endings). As there is no separate page for story thingies in Akawiki, i've put translations into the Akawiki Glossary (http://akatsuki.mizuumi.net/index.php/Glossary).

And i think you could combo Adler's OTG 22 into EX22. IIRC, in replays the guy did something like OTG 22A > 22B > 22BC (i may be wrong). .....Adler's flashy combos remind of GG...love that nazi creep.

[ToyRobotTerror]

Wouldn't dd+C xx dd+BC give more damage? And it can be done everywhere.

[FoldoutChair]

Doing the 22C 22BC only gives about 100 more damage than 22BC alone. But a throw followed by 22C then 22BC gives a nice 3000 damage on Akatsuki.

I just tried chaining together all the 22s, but after 2 of them they seem to get up right as you're done. I don't know if you're at a frame disadvantage at this point, however... Now, I'm not sure if everyone gets up at different speeds or if the marginal differences will affect Adler's room for 22s. I'll test it more later and see what I come up with.

Edit: The difference seems negligible, using 22 twice seems to get the opponent up faster than usual.

It is worth noting that with his level 3 rotating around it'll combo with an OTG in the corner for relatively minor damage. If you're confident in your corner pressure and ability to churn out throws this may be worth it... But it seems that EX 22s help damage more.

[nekich]

cool thing, unlike 22A/B/C, 22BC will hit after the throw even if the enemy attempts recovering. Guaranteed 2800dmg on Aka/Soldat. and you can always followup 22B or 22C with 22A it seems.

[ToyRobotTerror]

You can't recover from soldats and adlers air throw, some other people have airthrows you can't recover from. Anyway blitztanks dash can now be comboed with dd+BC and ABC, the fall timing seems to have changed.

[H-F Blade]

lol I noticed that the Aka and Soldat players were utilizing tactics that were written on AkaWiki.

[PersonaDark]

edit2: also, Sai recieved only 1 change (if only the patch readme listed all of the changes that is), how can he be slower?

It may just be me, but his attacks seem slower than they originally were and some are less comboable like before, like his A.

If this has already been addressed, my bad.

[nekich]

A small patch is out, improves SS Matching Web a bit, link (http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~subtle/bk_patch111sp1beta.zip).
Changes (source (http://subtle.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/11/)):
-connection time reduced;
-in the player list, connection and player's level icons are now shown;
-player is now able to cancel initialization and refreshing;
-fixed some minor bugs, regarding netplay;


And a new pack'o' replays is out. 148 matches (http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~subtle/ko-hatsu20070721.zip).

[H-F Blade]

stage 6 version (http://stage6.divx.com/user/hfblade/video/1460116/Akatsuki-Blitzkampf-v-1-1-0-SP1-Combo-Video)

The last Adler combo was taken from one of the ko-hatsu replays and altered slightly.

My personal favorites: 2:06(it's so carefully set up lol), 2:56(Akatsuki's side winder loop heh), 3:04(juggling the opponent in perfect intervals).

[Hayama Akito]

The new video is great! at least a good Adler combo video.

[nekich]

Cool video, it proved me that Marylin can incorporate an airthrow into her combos. wee...

[FoldoutChair]

Is anyone else having trouble with the new patches? Every time I download one it says that it's corrupt and it won't open.

[Hayama Akito]

new patches? are you talking about the patch with Adler? in that case, no...

[FoldoutChair]

The small patches with the Matchmaking System improvements.

Uhhh to whoever wrote the wiki: plz omit "(hence the nicknames of 'JEWPUNCHER, 'Blitzjew,' and related variations thereof given to the game by many of the players in the US community)" for the sake of our (small) community.

It's one thing to joke around w/in the community and on the forums but Wikipedia.org relates to many other topics outside of fighting games and this statement is likely to offend someone or possibly stir up (unwanted) controversy.

well thats fine and dandy w/ you but take some random schmuck outside of the FG community that has never played a video game in their life and has a total absence of a sense of humor that just so happened to stumble on to the wikipedia.org/blitzkampf page then decides that they want to throw a fit cus they find the term offensive (or worse, anti-semitic).

Keep in mind that wiki.org does not have a controlled population like most forums. Anyone can be at wiki.org for any reason as it is a popular research tool. I'm not Jewish or anything but I'd like to see the page get regularly updated w/o some whiney douche trying to shut the pg down cus the community openly calls it JEWPUNCHER.

seriously... i don't see anything that can solve my problem here on the first page. any help would be nice

[Hayama Akito]

Sorry Radiant93, i dont have that problem =( no idea.

By the way, i dont know if this is old news but... i was on Youtube and i saw a nasty Murakumo bug with his Super 3, seems that you can connect it even if you fail... and... who knows, but maybe you can move and continue it with a combo?

See this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1w-GBFf8Sc), and watch at 1:38 to 1:47... anyway, seems that is the first version of the game, but this still works? if so... Murakumo is even far to be low tier.

[Gasp]

about the story, dont recall where i found it but it was one or two sentences and i was searching for kanaes background/story.

the similarities between the book and the game are apparent though but we have to wait till someone translates this.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

seriously... i don't see anything that can solve my problem here on the first page. any help would be nice

That happened to me when I was trying to use a shortcut. Run the exe in the actual Blitzkampf folder; it should work then.

[b00mshakalaka]

This game is dope just started playin it,really solid combos

[Shinigami Zero]

This has to be the most fun I've had with a fighting game since... forever. I used to enjoy 3S like this when I was in HS. I just can't manage to stop playing.

I've been experimenting with a few of the characters but of all of them I find that I have a penchant for Sai. Does anyone else play with him?

I haven't seen many vids, if any at all, demonstrating his abilities used competently. I'm a visual learner more than I am receiving written word.

(Also, Fritz looks interesting but I'm having a hell of a time trying to combo ANYTHING with him. I find myself playing him as though I was fiddling with SamSho.)

[nekich]

you should try ko-hatsu replays, there are plenty of good matches with Sai

[Shinigami Zero]

I'm browsing through Ko-Hatsu but I'm unfamiliar with the website or the layout. If it isn't too much trouble could you post a link to the area?

It doesn't work like that. You have to add them to your list first. There is a post (somewhere in this thread) that's got a how-to on the matchmaking system. Visit #Blitzkampf on EFnet for more info.

[nekich]

SS blog has updated (http://subtle.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/13/). It syas the new patch is under development and author plans to add several things, like:
-add short pre-defined messages to SSMW (like "thank you", "busy" etc.);
-some sort of matching code tweak/removal (it has something to do with connection not establishing for a long period of time);
-add an option to disable BGM in the title screen (or maybe disable it entirely?);
-further balance the characters;

Among other things he also plans to release the OST somewhere in September.

I hope BK isnt dead yet. Bear with me for my Marylin sucks.

[Xenozip.]

Having trouble picking a character. I don't like.. well.. any of them. :|

[Shinigami Zero]

I can understand the difficulty in finding a character. At first I thought that I wanted someone who could dish out heavy damage like Wei or someone with agility like Marilyn. In the end, I opted for someone with a similar style to other characters that I enjoy; aesthetic style in the form of Sai. You just can't beat a guy in a well tailored suit.

Just what is it that you don't like about the characters in the game? Admittedly, some characters (namely Akatsuki, to me) seem sort of stock and boring. Others (namely Marilyn) seem like direct descendants (i.e clones) from other titles.

In fact, here's a general question for the group:

Who is the character of choice and what influenced it?

I chose Adler. He sucks.

I chose him because he gives me lulz; a corruption of LOL.

They're nazis whats NOT to like?

[Darkshine]

I picked Blitztank, because only REAL men use him.

I wanted to play Anonym and Marilyn when I first got the game. They didn't fit my style, hell hardly any of them did until something finally clicked with Akasuki and Sai. Aka became a good solid anchor, Sai's my tactical/headfuckery character and Adler completed the team as my fun character.

So, what does choosing Blitztank give you then?

I just want to tell here that in my country (Chile) is coming the first Akatsuki Blitzkampf tourney in Ryuuko Masters Tournament (a local tourney, with 3s, KOF XI and SSBM) so im very sure that all those fights are coming to Youtube in a couple of weeks!

Im playing with Murakumo right now!

[Master Chibi]

I play Anonym because I like to fucking torture myself.

[Kayin]

I play Akatsuki because I'm a total douche~
