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

[H-F Blade]

I play Akatsuki because I'm a total douche~
According to who? :looney:

[Rithli]

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!

Nice, nice. I'll be looking forwards to those vids. ;D
Also, online tag mode is bananas. Everyone should try it out at least once for the lols.

[Kayin]

According to who? :looney:

I actually forgot about your personal message on MSN when I typed that~ :rofl:

[Xenozip.]

Eh, I started playing as Akatsuki because Zar told me he was top tier. :B

I've also been messing around with Fritz and Marilyn because they're both also stupid easy (like really stupid easy). When I can't find a char I like I usually just pick one of the top tier chars and fuck around, heh.

On a side note, Sugoroku mode is exactly like Gunstar Hero's for the Genesis. Really really good oldschool game, highly recommend it. Gogo Helheim Sugoroku.

[Kayin]

How do you get Sugoroku mode?

[Bob Poundmax]

How do you get Sugoroku mode?

Keep beating the game with other characters

[Xenozip.]

Yeah I forget what unlocks it, just beat the game with everyone. After it's unlocked you have to beat normal Sugoroku to unlock Hard-Sugoroku. And then you have to beat Hard-Sugoroku to unlock Valhall-Sugoroku and Helheim-Sogoroku.

Fortunately, beating Hard-Sugoroku unlocks both the Valhall and Helheim Sugoroku modes so it's the last thing you'll have to "do" to unlock everything.

Beating Valhall and Helheim Sugoroku modes don't unlock anything (I checked). Beating the Helheim-Sugoroku mode awards you with engrish text: "You are the Sugoroku Masterlered". Also earning all the Sugoroku collection stages unlocks nothing... well.. technically it "unlocks" the [?] Sugoroku bonus stages making them accessible in the Sugoroku collection menu (which is basically the same as unlocking nothing).

Anyway, the unlockable menus are:
- Time Attack
- Survival
- Sugoroku (which is Gunstar Hero mode)
- HelHeim (which is arcade mode in maximum difficulty)
- Theater
- Music
- SS Matching Web (?)

Though, the only characters you get to unlock are Adler, BlitzTank, and Murakumo. Which are unlocked just beating the game a few times.

[Hayama Akito]

Im starting to think that Akatsuki Blitzkampf its so good that some company will saw the game as a good choice for a commercial real Arcade title, like Ecole do it with Melty Blood.

The only problem is that AkatsukiBK doesnt have a too strong name behind like Melty Blood with Tsukihime, but you never know...

[Xenozip.]

They could do a console port, yeah. This game would be a popular console title I think. But, I think it needs a larger cast and some rebalancing to get an arcade release though.

[nekich]

funny, but i know some people who complain about the small movelists... ._.

and 12 chars is already a good cast, imo.

[Hayama Akito]

funny, but i know some people who complain about the small movelists... ._.

Yeah, because we all want to see Fritz with more moves :confused:

[Radiant93]

i have a copy with an .iso format. is this no different from the link in the first page?

[ToyRobotTerror]

so when is the next patch coming out?

[Radiant93]

can someone pm me the link to the full version? thanks,

[nekich]

so when is the next patch coming out?
unknown

[JNK]

i have a copy with an .iso format. is this no different from the link in the first page?

By what do you mean an ".iso" format? You can't just open an .iso. If you dl'ed it yourself, you'll have to go through some steps so you can actually install the program itself. I won't go through them though, because I don't want to get banned.

yeah. i think i got it now. the game needs more character though. the graphics and all are stunningly amazing.

EDIT: can anyone pm me the link to the patch that adds two more characters? thanks.

[CptMunta]

This game kicks ass,

Loving the Dramatic battle style mode.

What does the patch do? I've got the 110sp1beta patch. How do you install it and is it worth it?

[Hayama Akito]

Just overwrite the files in your AkatsukiBK folder, it got a new character, better Online support and color edit, so it worth.

[Master Chibi]

Wei is gay.

Really, really gay.

:rofl:

[woof]

unbeatable antiair




unless your blitztank :7)

[Master Chibi]

Perfect meaty, perfect punishing move, perfect cross up, perfect frame advantage, perfect lots of shit.

DAMN YOU WEI

[Zee Tee Bee]

Damn guys, Wei to hate on my character. :arazz::rofl:

edit:

-going to update wei faq sometime next week for those interested. Going to try and throw up some reps of wei basics/bnbs/strats as well

-Spootz vs Zar matches coming soon. get hype!

-gotta change my Av cus i dont play that myc bitch anymore....Haaaaah!Wei-Ei-Jin!!!

[sibladeko]

Mycale is the source of everything wrong with Blitzkampf.

[DropGate]

Ok so I'm kinda slow on the (new) games that have come out and I've checked up on this and I gotta say it's hella good. I was wondering where I could buy it.

I did search first and found a post buy nothingxs about sending a paypal for either BBB or Akatsuki Blitzkampf but that was a while ago.

[Rithli]

Nekich is a winnarrrr

[.dub.]

So how do you guys play online? Are you guys sitting in irc and you set up the matches there, or is there some online game browser I am missing?

All I can find is somewhere to directly connect to someone and an 'ss match making' screen which does precisely nothing for me...

[nekich]

Are you guys sitting in irc
This. #akatsuki on irc.mizuumi.net

ps. framedatas for Wei, Kanae, Marylin, Murakumo and Sai were transported into the Akawiki.

[Zee Tee Bee]

Heil, bitchez!

[Daddyneptune]

Nice to see another Wei player.

[Zakuta]

My shitty non-business laptop can play this game...yay! You could say Kanae is in full effect now.

Maybe I should try online as well...if people still play that is. See you in IRC I guess >_>

[nekich]

All frame datas were ported over.
Aside from unfinished Adler table and not-so-solid unverified values, it should give the idea about what's safe and what's not.

[Hayama Akito]

Very nice Wei!

As i tell some post ago, i played in an Akatsuki tourney last Saturday... and guess what? i win!

Hope that the videos will upload soon...

[Zee Tee Bee]

Thanks, Hayama and good stuff on taking that tourney! I'm looking forward to seeing how non-jpn/us akatsuki players get down. Hit up the thread asap when you get that footage!

How come I never see you at mizuumi.akatsuki. Everyone (mostly Rithli :looney:) there is HUNGRY for comp. You should drop by and check it out; the netplay is actually tolerable. :wow:

[Hayama Akito]

As you said, im not from US, certainly im from very far (Chile) and when i try it here on SRK it was a disaster (horrible unplayable lag) :(

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Everyone (mostly Rithli :looney:) there is HUNGRY for comp. You should drop by and check it out; the netplay is actually tolerable. :wow:

I'm hungry for competition as well, but I can only play 1 day a week at most. And even then, it's only a few hour period.

[Zee Tee Bee]

Dude, where have you been? Yea, youre definitely top for "most hungry" but you've been AWOL for a while so I forgot =p. Come back, dammit. We dont have anyone that mains "the shittiest soldier in B|itzkampf".

@Hayama:

Lol. Wtf am I thinking. Suuuureee you'd get a good connection w/ US players :looney:. My mistake, the netplay is beastly (with locals) but not beastly enough for lag-free w/ Chile's finest. :wasted:

[Rithli]

Spootz just needs to erase his roommate.

[Garou_Densetsu]

Son of a bitch. I just got this game, but every time I try to run it, it restarts my comp.

Any ideas/solutions? :(

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Dude, where have you been? Yea, youre definitely top for "most hungry" but you've been AWOL for a while so I forgot =p. Come back, dammit. We dont have anyone that mains "the shittiest soldier in B|itzkampf".

The only times I can play is Sunday from 2-9 or Monday from 1-8. Because all the other days of the week, my roommate uses alot of the bandwidth playing FFXI on Live. But, I can't play this Sunday, because I have to work. And I'm not normally home on Mondays 'till around 3.

[sibladeko]

Btw just so you know I'm going to be uling all matches from now on to the community account xUberSoldatx

[DropGate]

Anyone know what Sai says during his max super?

[nekich]

Anyone know what Sai says during his max super?
- Ore no me wo miro! Kore ga yami no sekai da!
- Look into my eyes! This is the world of darkness!

[DropGate]

Ah thanks a lot man ^^.

[Xenozip.]

That reminds me. In Kanae's theme (the bgm) there's a flute and I could fucking swear I recognize it from somewhere.

It's been bugging me for like a week now. If anyone recognizes that shit from somewhere please let me know.

I think it's from some ninja-related game or ninja-anime. I fucking know I've heard it before.

[VManOfMana]

What?

Probably a bit late, but here it goes anyway.

The best place to buy Akatsuki (and most douiin games - MB, EFZ, Tohou, etc.) that I know if is Palet Mail Web Service. They use a regular shopping cart system in their site, but payments are done via PayPal (well, that's the easiest way at least).

Price wise they are very reasonable. There are other places like HimeyaShop but Palet is the one that doesn't jack up the prices to ridiculous levels.

[DropGate]

I just realized something that confirms my hate for playing against cpu's,
cpu grab >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything -_-;.

You probably did. Blitz has some random ass samples in their bgms. Like Chun-li's victory laugh in the latter half of Sai's bgm ("A hahahaha...yatta"). Cant help you w/ this though.

[Hayama Akito]

I just realized something that confirms my hate for playing against cpu's,

Mortal Kombat, lol.

To be honest i dont have too much problems with CPU's grab.

[DropGate]

Well it's mostly Kanae, and I hate it when they empty jump into a throw DX.

[Xenozip.]

The Kanae AI is stupid (like every AI), just deep jump-in over and over. Counter-reflect if she reflects. Simple.

In fact all the AI's in this game are stupid as hell, even in helheim mode.

[kane_warhead]

Can you play the game in window mode?

[bellreisa]

Yes.

[kane_warhead]

Yes.


how?

[bellreisa]

Alt+Enter.

[Zee Tee Bee]

lol wtf :looney::confused::lol:

...i was waiting for him to reply w/ "Thanks". Then bell replies w/ "your welcome".

you know you wanna play as the man who's angry he can't afford a shirt and paid for a terrible haircut
he named his shoulder charge technique after HIMSELF
he will come through your kitchen walls when you are going to your fridge for liquid refreshment, bust through that shit and smash all your upholstery, silverware and Ikea furniture into sawdust and fragments of soot
like
"WEEEEEEIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiii!!!!!" BAM
next to the Falcon Punch that move is top tier, lol
you could be standing on the block waiting for the bus, and the bus gets there, and you think everything is cool
suddenly, "WEEEEEEEEIIIiiiii!!!" BLAM, that shit explodes like when Brawl hit that bus in the Transformers movie and crushes old people with they groceries, kids with their ipods, all that shit
you think you got your girl pregnant? you know who to call......
"WEEEEEEEEEEEIIIiiiii!!!" BAM, instant abortion

[Xenozip.]

Rithli is the greatest. Victory goes to Rithli.

All hail Rithli and Zar!

[Rithli]

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys.
Hopefully the vid can help a bit in increasing the number of blitzheads (Or the number of Wei users too, perhaps).

[!!Sazabi!!]

sibladeko: i dont like wei too much.. but damn that was a nice vid..

[Goukisan]

Jesus jumping Christ that was a pretty vid. I haven't even played that much Blitz, but goddamn if that didn't put the HYPE in me.

[Nwordtim]

omigosh this was clearly an epic win good job
btw the music was nice if not for this video i would never had known about Halfby thank you (_ _)

[caliagent#3]

one of the best tutorial vid i've seen. Anyways, any word on a new patch that'll fix nun??

[Zee Tee Bee]

Blitz Heil!!! :annoy:

On October 5th, #Akatsuki/Mizuumi will be hosting an epic online tournament event and we are requesting that all Blitzkampf Soldiers report to the front lines to partake in this historic netplay battle. The event may span many weeks so be sure to prepare extra food rations and regularly fill your water canteens.

Soldiers will be sortied according to battalion (really your region/state :bgrin:). It would be highly appreciated if participants are running DSL or higher in this event as many of us aren't fans of our guns getting jammed in the brink of war (really just laggy as hell :bgrin:. Am i trying too hard with the military references?). There is no enlistment fee and thus the soldiers that earn their promotions will not receive any compensation for their efforts. Instead they will attain honor, victory (or defeat lol), pride, and extensive combat knowledge to utilize in future battles. The top 3 highest ranked soldiers will receive a 21-water-pistol salute and "badges of honor" (basically your names get placed in the thread :clap:).

Macros and mapping will be permitted on the battlefield. We can only hope that participants will respect the "Honor System" and refrain from using "advanced weaponry" (i.e. programmable pads/sticks and turbo features :tdown:).

Victory will be given to the first contender to receive 2 match points (2/3 matches). All finals (losers, winners and grand) will be 3/5 matches (first to receive 3 points). In the event of a draw, neither player will receive a match point and both players will replay the match using the same characters.

It is very important that all soldiers create log entries (turn on your mo' fo' replay feature plz!!!!). We intend to broadcast the war in its entirety via YouTube (xubersoldatx account).

Enlistment is starting NOW! To sign up just post up saying that you want to enlist in the Akatsuki Army or whatever and give the handle you wish to have displayed on the rankings and battle records (match vids). There may be a thread floating around somewhere in the Tournament Events Forum with a complete list of the participants. If not, then I'll just update the thread. :razz:





Civilian Synopsis:

Akatsuki Tournament

Date: October 5th ~ whenever it gets finished (we're trying for at most 2mths)

Signups: Are starting NOW. Just post up info like handle, connection, dates and time available, and state/city.

Entry: 0$

Prize: Honor, a learning experience and oh, 0$. :shake:

Matches: 2/3, 3/5 for losers, winners and grand finals, double elimination. Keep the character you win with in any instance. The loser is free to change their character choice. In the event of a draw, replay the match. Blind pick upon request (you and your opponent can just pm the character choice to a 3rd party). *Info on desynching issues will be added later.

-Mapping/macros are allowed. Try to refrain from cheating ppl! (no turbo/program stuff plz)

-Players will be paired up according to region.

-"Good" connections are encouraged (dsl or higher). If you know your connection is shit, please save us and yourself the trouble and frustration by just sitting it out. If you can get access to an acceptable connection post up the date and time when you'll be available to play your matches.

-Most importantly.....SAVE YOUR MATCHES. By simply going to the options mode you can turn on the auto save replay feature. It will record ALL matches w/o you having to think about it at the end of every match.






We're looking forward to seeing veterans and new recruits alike for the upcoming event. If you have any questions/comments you're encouraged to post up. For some drill practice (no homo) and strategy exchange join us at #Akatsuki @ irc.mizuumi.net.

[nekich]

3 new vids @ Ko-hatsu (http://www.ko-hatsu.com/) ("Event" tab, then scroll down).
Although they are released there every week, this up (or maybe some previous ones we missed too, i don't know) apparently uses a newer version of Blitz. At least Adler has a new walking animation and winpose. Matches:
Marylin v Kanae
Adler v Kanae
Sai v Kanae

[4649]

Zar: Wouldnt it be better to just do ranking battles instead of its going to take that long? Just a suggestion. I mean, It couldnt hurt really.

<---Aya

i think the idea is to gauge how many players will show up for a big online event where everyone has plenty of advance notice to plan to be able to participate. that way you can establish a preliminary player roster and then schedule regular ranking battles around everyone's initial timeframe and have those lead up to followup events down the line.

at least that's my assumption. >_>

I was wondering about that version too. I went to the developer's website but I didn't see any new patches available for download.

[nekich]

possibly another test-run, like it was with 1.1.0

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

i might join.....i'd def. join if we use the previous version. Don't like the nun rape

uh... Sorry i dont think thats going to happen.

[The Damned]

Since we have a ridiculous T1-wifi connection at school, I would be down.

...However, I still don't have my laptop back and even if I had it, all I ever got to play was the trial version.

I don't mind being cannon fodder as long as I could get my hands on the latest version before the tournament rolled around. It's just that I'm reluctant to obtain anything that's going to be so quickly outdated. These fears seem especially valid in the light of the new videos...whose types I can't play for some reason.

Anyway, speaking of which, does anyone know when the "finalized" version of this "beta" is coming out and possibly changes that might entail? I figure there's going to be a resounding "no" since it would be up on the website and someone would have likely posted it in the hopes they nerf Mary Sue.

[Hayama Akito]

Downloading the Ko-Hatsu videos... this new patch is really important because, as i know, this will change the "balance" of the game... for god sake, change the hitboxes of Marylin's 2charge8+B...

Hope that they will not screw it like that BigBang Beat patch >_<

i hope the patch fix some stupid hitboxes of marilyn, and her no-brain combo propertys.... and please, they have to do something with the nun, more animation in her sprite and fix her attack system..

[4649]

Yang;4255794']i hope the patch fix some stupid hitboxes of marilyn, and her no-brain combo propertys......

you know, some of us happen to like characters with "no brain combo properties". :P

[Master Chibi]

you know, some of us happen to like characters with "no brain combo properties". :P

She's still pretty fucking stupid though.

[Zakuta]

I'm sure that, even considering the test versions, they would've done something about her 8475674233 hit combos by now if they thought it was fucked :(

You know what they should do though...

...make Kanae's 2A a low weak kick ;)

[Master Chibi]

I didn't say fucked, I said stupid.

I've seen her auto guard go through Blitztank's fucking ABC lvl 3.

WTF, that's some bullshit.

[Sp00ky]

Adler with new animations and no new bnbs =/ he needs some kind of midscreen bnb other then pointblank 2AAB214C

[Master Chibi]

hey let's all email the creator like three times and never get a freaking reply back.

-_-

[Xenozip.]

Hey let's try getting it translated to Japanese before we send it to Japan.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Adler with new animations and no new bnbs =/ he needs some kind of midscreen bnb other then pointblank 2AAB214C

He has 2aab6b. Not really amazing, but puts you a little +frame on hit; so you can mix-up from there, and hopefully get a combo/throw...it would be better if there wasn't a parry though (or if parrying wasn't so good), because it would be more in your favor.

[Master Chibi]

Hey let's try getting it translated to Japanese before we send it to Japan.

I was already told he accepts English mail, even on the AKA BBS or whatever.

[Xenozip.]

^ Are you playing as nun, or are you playing against nun?

As Nun.

[Bob Poundmax]

So is this tornament going to be a round robin? It'll make more sense if it were.

[pc1x1]

Kanae will always be Top tier for me : /

[Zakuta]

correction, Kanae is mid tier, Not low haha

Why, pray tell. Only reason for me to see her being mid is if your genius rivals that of Einstein.

I might try out Anonym, just to see what all the negative fuss is about.

[Nwordtim]

Wow are you guys serious soldat is mid... wow

[Xenozip.]

You know, Anonym wouldn't be so bad if they just added a tiny little bit more range on her melee normals, and maybe make her 4C move forward a bit more.

But, I guess they want her to suck.

[Master Chibi]

But, I guess they want her to suck.

Yeah, it's one or the other pretty much. If they had it so she didn't have bullets to worry about she'd probably end up being too good (ie Mina), but she's got it, plus they fucked with the recovery and range of her normals in the patch, plus your opponent doesn't really have anything to be 'afraid' of, or rather she doesn't have bullshit to work with, and she's just ass.

And yet I can't stop playing her. Most of my matches against Zar and others go down to the wire, but it's still just UGH the entire time.

:sad:

[The Damned]

Hmm...I'm curious as to why Mycale seems to be so above everyone else and why Sai is high on that list.

Other than that, the only other thing that seems out of place from the videos and comments I've seen here is Wei being below Sai. However, I know nothing, so ignore me.

Ignore me!

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Why, pray tell. Only reason for me to see her being mid is if your genius rivals that of Einstein.

I might try out Anonym, just to see what all the negative fuss is about.

Kanae is mid because low tier doesnt fit her. She has a really good mix up game, very nice pokes and decent matches against the tiers above her for the most part. Her corner game is also pretty good and she has really nice normals. She has good AA options with 2b 5b and her 22 air grabs. Her damage output is also REALLY good compared to that of her fellow mid tier character soldat.

Wow are you guys serious soldat is mid... wow

While soldat is a corner machine he doesnt have any type of overheads whatsoever outside of jump ins, Which means you could litterally just sit there and block low for the entire round and be perfectly fine unless he was to grab you, Which is his only real way of breaking guard. His Damage isnt too good either outside of corner and outside of random jump ins. Which soldat really shouldnt be doing to start without fireball pressure. His air to air game isnt too impressive honestly and his cross up isnt as good as people think it is. Sai, Wei and Aka all have much better cross ups then soldat. Soldat does have SOME tricks but he isnt top or even upper because it requires so much more work to play him effectively.

Sai is considered top tier for so many reasons. Midscreen and Corner sai can deal out 3000+ damage combos at will on any hit. He has INSANE zoning and also has insane wake up game (as you will see in my tutorial coming soon) Not to mention he completely counters Soldat in every way(for those who wanted to know why soldat is lower tier. This match up was broken down in IRC as well)

As for why mycale is considered to the best in the game i can answer that as well. Mycale has everything.

*normal AA
*great keep away game
*great air to air(only matched by marilyn and sai)
*wake up super(this bitch really didnt need this but they gave it to her anyway)
*Close range and midrange control
*her grab throws you into the corner(this is very important because once she gets you there, she pretty much wins the match right there)
*her damage output is one of the best, if not the best, in the game.

Hopefully i have answered all of your questions. Alot of these things have been discussed in IRC between myself and other members of the channel and these are the general consensus that we all came up with.

For those wondering about Aka, Ill post my post from dustloop.

Bellreisa and Myself had a discussion about Aka this morning and here is why he is considered midtier.

Aka is a damage machine, off of one hitconfirm he is able to do massive ammounts of damage. while this is true, aka doesnt have the things alot of characters have.

*Aka has to work a good deal to get out of pressure against the upper tier characters. DP is rather useless against characters such as marilyn Sai fritz and mycale as they can hit him right out of the DP and they can space ALL DAY so that aka using the DP will whiff and so he cannot cancel into 236b+c.

*Aka has good corner pressure, but his midscreen game isnt too great. after he cancels into 214a he cant really follow up with anything. He has to go backwards and that hinders his ability to push his opponent to the corner.

*Aka's fireballs are pretty much crap. They dont do anything for him and your opponent can parry after any poke of aka canceling into a fireball on reaction. Not to mention the fireball has retarded ammounts of recovery on them meaning he will only be using them at a distance, Not upclose like soldat and adler, who could litterally sit there and shoot fireballs all day and block because of their quick recovery. So this means aka cannot rely on fireballs to help pressure the opponent this makes it really hard for him to force damage with out scoring a knockdown.

Its because of these things that aka have been dropped down to midtier. After a discussion with the majority of IRC. Thats the general understanding that we have come to.

Now dont get me wrong, That by no means says that Akatsuki is a bad character, because he isnt. Akatsuki is a really strong character to play as. He has alot of things going for him.

*22a on whiff can actually be used similiar to ken's Srk Tricks in Super turbo.(You can follow up with another one because the whiff recovery is that good)

*If your opponent blocks any 22 move from aka you can cancel into super fireball to make it safe. midscreen is better than corner for this because if you are in the corner and you perform this, You can still be punished.

*Aka also has decent air to air, Not great, but passable. 7c is pretty good to knock your opponent out of the air if they are clearly jumping in at you.

Kinda tired of typing but hope this gives a decent explanation of why he was dropped down.

[Nwordtim]

Well thank you Chipp on that information on soldat :china:... still I thought he would be a tad bit little higher on that list but whatever the tiers only go so far anyways.

[4649]

The young doctor yawned deeply, outstretched in her chair, eyes going blank observing the dull brilliance of the green text layed out upon the computer monitor's surface. The code scrolling across it wasn't telling her anything new or interesting that she couldn't already guess. Reactionary, calculated clicks sent file after file blazing across the system, yet she seemed intensely bored. She was thinking about the "pinhead" ideal, the ability to hit the head of a pin 100 percent of the time, and how little it applied in this situation. As brilliant as she was, she just wasn't finding out what she really wanted to know from the gargantuan mass of electronic data in front of her.

"Who are you? Who are you really, young man?"

"....and why does he still look the same even though he's been stuck in the Arctic for over 50 years, yadda yadda yadda. That's what you're wondering, right?"

The doctor didn't even look; she already knew her supervisor was standing behind her.

"When did you get here?"

"Look, as smart as you are, I know how you really think. You're a hacker at heart, sweetie. If we hadn't have taken you in when we did, you'd have been sent up for the works. Infiltrating top secret information databases, illegal data manipulation, virus planting and implementation with malicious intent......should I keep going, miss genius?"

"Oh my god. I think I found it."

The clicks of her hands came to a dead stop.

"Found what?"

"Look at this. This is amazing. This is information so encoded that it has to be from them. This was written by someone deep inside the Gessellschaft network, years ago."

"What is it?"

"I'm not sure but....I think it's instructions. A mission of some sorts."

"A mission for this kid? Instructions? Instructions to do what?"

"We won't know unless we reactivate him. But...that's too dangerous. His Blitz engine could overload, we don't know how long that thing's been inactive~"

"Do it."

".....what!?"

She almost had a heart attack, her blood rushed up to her face so fast, as she whirled around in her swivel with the look of an insane woman.

"Has the committee completely lost it? Do they know what this will mean?"

"I said do it. This is a direct order from the top. This is why you're here, this is why I'm here, and this will happen."

"......"

Fingers clicked over tabs.
Dull, thick wires hummed to life. Neuralchips clicked into place.
Artificial flesh recoils from intense shock.

"........Look at this. He's downloading it."

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

well as far as i know the next video is Sai after the patch. But i can help with a nun video chibi

[Xenozip.]

nun video should be fairly simple.

I mean, it's not like you can make a traditional video for her, IMO. I would suggest just record a lot of replays vs humans against each of the characters and then chop them up to make a video out of it. Split the sections into "shit that doesn't work" and "shit that could work but probably won't".

Edit: Nevermind. I got it. It's working now.

[Cla]

Did anyone ever make a modded config.exe with English translations?

[nekich]

I've tried to do one, but since i couldn't get to all of the strings, it's still incomplete.

Besides, most of the options are available from the english in-game menu.

[Hayama Akito]

Allright, maybe this is "ye olde news" but... i just discovered it today and i didnt saw any info on the command list or in the Akawiki, even on Youtube videos...

Its seem that Murakumo got another special: When you use Teleport (down in air) with A or B, when you are on the ground, just press Up and A, B or C and Murakumo do some type of Shoryuken with a kick! has anyone know this and im just talking old shit or this is unknown?

[Rithli]

Yeah, that move has been known.

I guess no one bothered to add it into Mura's page, but I do remember seeing it in the frame data section when a couple of us were trying to test out its usefulness. Mura doesn't get much love in the US community, ho ho ho.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Yeah, that move has been known for quite some time now. We just hate mura so fucking much!(not really but only one person plays him here)

[Luigi-Bo 87]

Where can you get this game? I tried play-asia or is it a download somewhere?

[Cla]

Besides, most of the options are available from the english in-game menu.Yeah. Well, I guess I should go straight to the more important point of what I'm looking for: Ways to improve the performance of the game. I already have Char Select and Background on Low. Anything else I can do to improve the performance of the game from the config.exe? I don't care how low I have to put the graphic/audio quality. Constant clean framerate is much more important.

Also, is there some way to force the game to load everything before the fight rather than loading things the first time they get used in the fight?

[bellreisa]

Akatsuki isn't exactly the most processor-intensive fighter out there, I don't know of anyone who's had slowdown issues with it.

[Hayama Akito]

Yeah, compared with B3 who is a RAM-eating bitch... even more than Melty Blood.

[Xenozip.]

Yeah, that move has been known for quite some time now. We just hate mura so fucking much!(not really but only one person plays him here) It should be pointed out that the one person who does play him doesn't play very often, either.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Yeah, Thats right lol

You can try turning Frame Skip on, although it doesn't really help the framerate. Background effects set to "Low" is the only helpful option i can think of, but you have already changed that. Oh, and [insert an obligatory "turn off all the applications running in the background" line here].

Also, is there some way to force the game to load everything before the fight rather than loading things the first time they get used in the fight?
Nope (at least no one tried).

[freelander]

could someone post the basics of adler?
akawiki only provides the descripion of his moves.
thank you

[nekich]

Subtle Style's Blog says he plans to release the new patch in the nearest future (of course he doesn't say when exactly, but perhaps it'll happen this month). OST will be out in October.

I guess we'll finally get to see Adler's storyline... (http://file.subtle.blog.shinobi.jp/sshot20070922012509.PNG)

What the shit am I looking at here?

Spell it out for me since I'm an idiot >_<

[Rithli]

Well, for now there isn't much to speculate since it's just a headline for an article in the arcadia magazine, but it looks like Akatsuki is getting an official arcade release of some sort.

[Hayama Akito]

What the shit am I looking at here?

Spell it out for me since I'm an idiot >_<

Arcadia Magazine confirms that Akatsuki Blitzkampf is, indeed, coming to Arcades.

First info and screenies in September 29, i wonder who is behind this... Ecole? who knows.

[shadowcharlie]

isnt it a bit too early for that...? theres been only a handful of patches

[Master Chibi]

What's good MOTHERFUCKERS?

Fucking JEWPUNCHER ALPHA 3 IS STEPPING THEIR GAME UP :annoy:!!!!

I'll be the best ANONYM EVER bitches, bring that shit!

[bellreisa]

Just for the record, BBB and Monster also got arcade ports and both games are still being developed for PC only, and Melty went *back* to PC after its arcade port.

[nekich]

I'll wait till some info on Aka's official site pops up... ._.

Woah, seems that its Subtle Style itself who is publishing the game! sadly its seems that is just a direct port to some unknown Arcade hardware, for now.

[The Damned]

^ Sigh. It figures that you have a 16th place and I want to compete, but I'm still rather hesitant to buy the damned thing since it seems like they're going to constantly be updating it and even I'm not that spendthrift with money.

That and it's impossible for me to find out how to order it through the home website itself because my Japanese, at least kanji-wise, is completely novice.

Speaking of the update, does anyone know when it supposedly comes out. I haven't read the link yet, so it says there just tell me to check that.

[nekich]

D'oh.
Subtle Style's Blog says he plans to release the new patch in the nearest future (of course he doesn't say when exactly, but perhaps it'll happen this month).

[The Damned]

D'oh.

Yeah....

Dammit.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me. I really should have seen that.

Since we're going with the obvious, where do you go on the website the potentially order the game? I can't imagine it's one of those "you pay for a download" thing.

[nekich]

The game site has links to 4 doujin shops where you can (probably) order it.

[Hayama Akito]

So, there you go guys: The latest patch is out (http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~subtle/download.html#updates).

[caliagent#3]

what's in the patch?? Nun fix??

[Hayama Akito]

The first things that i saw:

- Adler now got new frames in his walk and victory pose, but this is not news if you saw the latest Ko-Hatsu videos.

- Murakumo stage was re-designed.

- I cant feel too much balance fix at now... but i will still playing it, i mean, the patch is big (almost 40 megs) and there is even a new BGM file, but i dont hear anything new for now (not even in Sound Test)

EDIT: There are a lot of changes in SS Matching Web, as we saw some time ago in the Subtle website, but still i dont test it... there is some type of macross in the "F" buttons now.

[Nocturnal]

Thanks for the heads up on the patch I'm patching as I type.

[Hayama Akito]

Ah, also Adler got storyline and ending in Arcade mode, but this was also commented by Subtle Style.

To be honest, i didnt find anything who i can feel that i t was fixed in the gameplay... at least for now, its all the same to me.

EDIT: First shit that i noticed, Fritz 4B damage was toned down to 150 points and standing C to 200.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

what's in the patch?? Nun fix??

I highly doubt the nun is ever going to "fixed" So looking forward to it is pretty silly =\

[Xenozip.]

Does anyone know what all the options do in the second tab in the config file?

I'm not really concerned with the other tabs, I'd just like a translation for the second tab.

[Rithli]

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

A quick translation of the character tweak portion of the changelog for the new patch. It should be accurate enough. I didn't bother with the other stuff yet because I figured that most people that play this will only care about the character changes.

Adler users will be pretty happy.
Some of the changes are uh, I dunno. Take a look for yourself.

[Hayama Akito]

I cant believe that they toned down some moves and added more delay to Sai and, specially, Anonym, i guess now she is officialy useless.

[caliagent#3]

specially, Anonym, i guess now she is officialy useless.


whew good thing they toned her down. She was just so awesome to begin with:looney:

[The Damned]

I cant believe that they toned down some moves and added more delay to Sai and, specially, Anonym, i guess now she is officialy useless.

Hunh?

I can understand complaining about Sai, but Anonym seems to have gotten slightly better going from the pure data. The pushback alone would be an improvement, especially since they gave reflectors, which rape all projectiles in the game, more recovery the new patch.

I'm surprised that all the changes to Mary Sue were nerfs, especially since they still probably weren't enough; they just need to get rid of the ridiculous autoguard on her 214 special move.

Whether these changes are for the better or the worse as a whole remain to be seen, especially since I haven't been able to play the full game still. They seem like they're for the better, but that doesn't mean it will bring tiers closer in the end.

[H-F Blade]

No specific changes to Akatsuki? Odd.

-frame skip
-vertical synchronization

[Xenozip.]

Thanks Nekich.

[Xenozip.]

Thank you very much Nekich that fixed my problem completely.

When I played online before I had a massive problem with framerate that I couldn't figure out how to fix. Offline I had no troubles at all, it always ran at 60FPS. However when I played online it became very choppy, skipped frames, and was practically unplayable. Like it was sometimes so bad I could do Marilyn's 214A and see the first frame and it would freeze then suddenly I'm on the last frame. It was incredibly frustrating because it felt like a slide-show, which with a fighting game like this is just stupid.

Now I set up my options like this http://www.justnopoint.com/~xenoblip/tmp/myblitz.png

And I know the second to last option was causing the problem "frame skip". I disabled that and now netplay runs very very smoothly. Significantly more smooth than before.

[Gasp]

imma cop this tonight.
man the fix is stupid in the sense that akat wasn't nerfed and anonym got played
HEY MASTER CHIBI: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

but for me im happy that kanae got buffed up (to me at least)

-236+B+C damage -150pts; -22+B+C damage +200pts per hit; -22+B+C (the 236+B+C follow up) damage +200ptssince i usually always have meter for the follow up.

[nekich]

Made here a translated config.exe for 1.1.3.1. As previously said, couldn't get to all the strings with ResHack, but it works. Just don't forget to set the compatibility stuff in "properties".

http://www.sendspace.com/file/yca7l5

[bellreisa]

This is a note for the upcoming tourney (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=137977) as well as netplay in general. The best settings we've found thus far are:

- Delay 4
- Frameskip OFF
- VSync ON

The delay is set in the online part within the game itself. To set frameskip and vsync, open the config.exe (set to Win2K compatibility mode if it doesn't start up), click on the 2nd tab on the bottom row. There will be two checkboxes at the bottom. The first one is frameskip, leave this UNCHECKED. The second one is vsync, which needs to be CHECKED. With these settings, the game is playably smooth halfway across the country; unfortunately, beyond that the game will start to lower FPS to compensate for the lag.

[Xenozip.]

Regarding that, this picture might help http://www.justnopoint.com/~xenoblip/tmp/myblitz.png

The last two checkboxes are the ones you want. That has frameskip OFF and vsync ON.

Also in-game you should turn backgrounds to low quality. And after that if you still get frame drops then you might need to set a little higher delay setting like 5 or 6.

[nekich]

*stares at the last 2 posts*
so, um, the translated config.exe didn't help?

[ToyRobotTerror]

They fucked up nun even more?

[Zee Tee Bee]

If you mean the "display" tab, then it's:
-show FPS
-low quality character selection screen
-low quality backgrounds
-turn title screen demo loop off
--run fullscreen
--run windowed
-frame skip
-vertical synchronization

run fullscreen and run windowed should be reversed.

--run windowed
--run fullscreen

btw thanks for that info. It's much better than reading ???? and ^$&^#BSHKL.

The control display was turned on for the first rounds of these matches for viewing pleasure.

From the results of numerous sessions of netplay, the overall quality of it (in terms of connection speeds, fps rates, and lag), unfortunately, seems to have dropped noticeably from the new patch. I'm unsure how that is so, but we're hoping for a better alternative to be developed in the near future.

Or something.

[Zakuta]

So is the netplay better all of a sudden now or what :/

[Rithli]

Akatsuki Netplay Nethack developed by mauve:
If you want it, connect to: irc.mizuumi.net and join channel #akatsuki

Well apparently, the near future comes sooner than you think, as a nethack that vastly improves the original netplay for Blitzkampf has been released. (Big & gigantanormous Kudos to mauve for taking his time to do this). The .zip file includes a hacked .exe and a readme file that is composed of directions and changes applied by mauve to make this thing work.

For those that won't bother reading the readme file, Here's how it works:
1. Unzip the contents of the archive
2. Copy the nethack .exe file into your Akatsuki folder
3. Open the nethack .exe file and connect like you would with the regular netplay

There's a few key things that should be known. First of all, the nethack will only work with people using the nethack. Also, this nethack only works for version 1.1.3.1 SP1. It should also be kept in mind that mauve has no intentions of doing this for the following patches (because he pretty much had to decipher the whole netcode, figure out what does what, and tear it apart to make it function as well it does now). However, if you want to discuss things, (or if you just want to find people to try the nethack with) feel free to drop by the #akatsuki channel on the mizuumi irc server.

So.. have fun all you nazi guys and nazi gals.

[bellreisa]

Rithli and I played some games (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=147C1B1DCB5B047B) testing the new netplay.

Cross country play is now very playable, runs at 60fps for the most part with very little input delay.

[-WiL-]

Whats the learning curve in this game like?

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Its REALLY easy... There isnt anything hard about this game whatsoever. execution wise anyway. Of course you gotta learn match ups and the like

[-WiL-]

Well if anyone wants to play just Pm me.

[ThrowTheDice]

Is it possible to cancel a reflector into a super during the first few frames? A couple of times with Sai when I did a super, not cancelled from anything, I would hear the parry voice clip, followed by the super coming out. I tested it a while and I once even got the blue reflector to appear and still cancel it into a super. The timing is pretty tight, put is there some sort of utterly excessive application that this might have?

[fallot]

Is it possible to cancel a reflector into a super during the first few frames?

Can't think of a use for it but yes, its possible. I tried it with Akatsuki in practice just now and could see the reflector almost all the time.

[Zee Tee Bee]

Well if anyone wants to play just Pm me.
If anything, you should bother either me ('zar' on IRC) or Rithli for some netplay matches as we are usually available for play most of the time.

[-WiL-]

Sure I'll try to find you guys sometime.

[Xenozip.]

When ever you're on IRC just ask in the channel for a game, some one is likely to respond.
