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

[ThrowTheDice]

Sorry to sidetrack things, but for some reason when I'm playing in the snowfall stage the framerate drops to unplayable levels, somewhere around 7-11 frames. This is the only stage that this happens on. Is it a bug or something, or is that stage just a lot more graphically intensive?

[Hayama Akito]

or is that stage just a lot more graphically intensive?

Thats it. Use backgrounds on low resolution.

[Ashenwraith]

I think these guys should find some better artists to do sprites and remake the game.

Overall they look alright, but the animation doesn't feel that great.

IE I was playing fritz in the demo and his sword swipes compared to chars from SS just felt awkward and clunky.

Other than that it kicks ass.

I wish the demo had all the chars to test - that's a bit of a disappointment and I might have considered buying the game if it did.

BTW, if anyone has any problems with the config.exe just right click it and set it to win 2k mode.

[ThrowTheDice]

I know this question is probably answered elsewhere, but...

How do I installed patch?

[Hayama Akito]

I know this question is probably answered elsewhere, but...

How do I installed patch?

Just overwrite all.

[Helter Skelter]

Potentially big news:

Now, first of all: My version of BK is slightly outdated. I kinda screwed myself and installid the files somewhere I can't find, so I'm going to just reinstall it soon, and then see if this still works. But, the glitch I was talking about a bit ago, cancelling a reflector into a super? It gives you invincibility frames. I think. Basically, I went into training mode with Aka and Sai and set the CPU to just attack over and over. Then I did some testing with his qcb/214+BC. Every time I did it without using the reflector, Sai's C won out. Every time I went reflector -> 214/qcb+BC riiight as Sai's C made contact, the super would blow through it.

EDIT: Just successfully tested it with Aka's 214+BC super against Wei's far C. I only managed to do it 3 or 4 times, but when it worked correctly, I would actually see Wei's 5C pass harmlessly through Aka, even though Aka's 214+BC has no invincibility. I'd appreciate any info that anyone could supply me with, because I'd hate to be wrong about something like this.
The game in't even out in arcades, and someone has found out you can roll-cancel.

That's an awesome find.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

This game is dope. it amazes me.

[Kayin]

Oh shit, new character? She looks pretty badass.

[Hayama Akito]

Oh shit, new character? She looks pretty badass.

To be honest its seems that it just Mycale with his "im a fucking Nazi" dress, the same as in her Ending anyway... but who knows, maybe is another char after all.

[Master Chibi]

Christ if this comes to Chinatown I will stop playing everything for it.

TOMORROW IS THE AKATSUKI BLITZKAMPF AC LOCATION TEST!

Pretty exciting news.

I'm hoping it's a new character too, but it probably is Mycale. That's what she looks like in her win-screen (http://jewpuncher.mizuumi.net/images/c/cb/Ending_mycale.jpg). Sans the glasses, anyway.

[nekich]

And there won't be any more matches at Ko-Hatsu. Hmmm...

[NEBULOSO]

Has anyone seen this match video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl5Ponl1yTY

As Adler's walk animation is different from the version I have....Plus I've never seen that lightning win pose at the end of the match....

[nekich]

That's version 1.1.3.1.
You can get the patch from the A:BK site.

[KarnovKarnov]

Pretty exciting news.

I'm hoping it's a new character too, but it probably is Mycale. That's what she looks like in her win-screen (http://jewpuncher.mizuumi.net/images/c/cb/Ending_mycale.jpg). Sans the glasses, anyway.

Nevermind the different hair/eyes/whatever else, the one in that poster looks like she has a MACHINE GUN ON A STICK.

Maybe they're adding in Cable to push Mycale down a tier.

[Leebee Link]

Mycale's fine.

no need to nerf her

[nekich]

Somebody will probably come up with a full list and stuff, anyways:
Title's now Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf.Achse.

New character's Perfecti, a different Mycale (like Adler is to Soldat, except the changes are heavier) with some kind of zomg proton/blitz spear, shoots shit. No sign of Mycale's old moves being re-used.

Old chars have recieved some minor tweaks (visual too), but so far they feel the same.

[nekich]

part 1.
title: アカツキ電光戦記　Ausf.Achse

there may be some mistakes

Board: SEGA NAOMI
Release date: n/a
Sale: PIC (http://www.pic-internet.or.jp/)

GamePlay and Stuff

Controls haven't changed, the board has 3 buttonns (the main complaint at 2ch so far). Neither did the San Sukumi System
Game Modes
vsCPU:
-Arcade Easy
-Arcade Normal
-Arcade Hard
-Practice (lasts only 5 minutes, there will be/is a home version of it as well)

Versus matches last until 10 victories (human vs human?).
Arcade goes up until Adler and there's only one Soldat. Upon beating Addie there'a a game over screen with Mycale, Mura and Tank and a message 「現在鋭意製作中！」 (something like "under development"?).

New Char select, VS and Win screens.
Story mode convo screens have changed (?).
The world map screen has gone.
New western-like fonts with horizontal writing instead of vertical.
Lifebars had changed a little - new colors an char portraits.

New, better hit FX (guard FX remains the same).
Blood's gone, some yellow liquid instead (WTF?).

BGs for EX attacks and LV3 have been altered.

When being thrown out of reflector, the screen flashes and the words 「要撃」 appear on-screen - throw becomes a counter? Same with command throws.

Some tweaks with reflector/counter proration? Ex: doujin-version Aka did ~5500 pts with his attack into Lv3, in loktest it's now around 4000.

Juggle height had been lowered it seems. For instance, in Sai's Reflector->B->236C->214BC, opponent now falls in the middle of 214BC.

Upon successful reflector, a 「要撃攻勢防御」 message appears. It doesn't after aerial attacks?

[Zee Tee Bee]

Damn, Nekich beasting with the translations. good stuff :clap:.

Controls haven't changed, the board has 3 buttonns (the main complaint at 2ch so far). Neither did the San Sukumi System
Game Modes
And I doubt they will change. Hope this will be a wakeup call for the idiots that advocate button macros.

"san sukumi system"? Is that related to the rock/paper/scissors concept?

Blood's gone, some yellow liquid instead (WTF?).
...oookaaay. Pretty random. Is Japan getting soft now?

When being thrown out of reflector, the screen flashes and the words 「要撃」 appear on-screen - throw becomes a counter? Same with command throws.
I think thats pretty cool to display a msg for that. It's like telling your opponent "Oooh no you dont!". Don't know about screen "flashing" thing though :wasted:. Gotta see how thats presented.

Juggle height had been lowered it seems. For instance, in Sai's Reflector->B->236C->214BC, opponent now falls in the middle of 214BC.
oh crap.....OH CRAP! This may hurt Wei's sexy juggles/damage :sad:. NOOOOOOooooooo.

[Master Chibi]

oh crap.....OH CRAP! This may hurt Wei's sexy juggles/damage :sad:. NOOOOOOooooooo.

I sure as fuck hope it does.

:rofl:

[Rithli]

Yeah, the San Sukumi system just refers to the whole Attack > Throw > Parry rps thing.

Regarding the scaled gravity, it seems to only apply for successful reflectors at the moment, and not for regular situations.

It seems like there's a general nerf of reflectors in this release, what with the Counter Hit damage for grabs from whiffed reflects, the aforementioned scaled gravity, and the increase in damage proration from a successful reflector (the Akatsuki lvl. 3 damage bit mentioned above). Interesting changes, imo.




..or maybe I'm just saying that because I play Kanae and I can do more damage from grabs hohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho ho yeah.

[Rithli]

Continuing from where nekich left off, some more loketest information translated from: http://oggg.dip.jp/index.php?e=1005
*Info added/updated from the 2nd day of loketesting (11/24/07) is labeled in this color.


Character Related
Before getting into character specific changes that were noticeable from the loketest, the writer makes note that he kept more of a focus on the new character rather than the original lineup.


New Character: Perfecti
- Due to wielding a spear/rifle like weapon, she has long reach.
- All her special moves are projectile based, so she's pretty much a ranged based character.
- Her walk speed is slow and her jump travel distance is lacking. She also seems to have low defense/life.
- Both her front/back dashes cause her to warp/teleport.
- She sits on a chair for her crouching pose (same as Mycale's winpose).
- Intro Animation: She initially appears as Mycale and then chants 'Come forth, demon sword Dainslef,' and transforms into Perfecti.


Perfecti Normals
- 5A: She tilts her spear to attack. Has minimal reach.
- 5B: Slashes with her spear. Has long reach.
- 5C: Thrusts with her spear horizontally. She moves forwards with the attack, adding to the reach.

- 2A: Kicks while sitting on the chair. 'Yazuka Kick.'
- 2B: Twirls her spear upwards. Antiair-ish.
- 2C: Thrusts with her spear towards the opponent's feet.

- jA: Feels like an air version of 5A. Due to the other 2 air normals being superior, it doesn't seem like it'll be useful.
- jB: Similar to Fritz's. Air-to-air horizontal slash with the spear.
- jC: Slashes with her spear. Seems to be easy to use and great for both Air-to-ground and Air-to-air.

- Reflector: "Explosive!" She causes an explosion in front of her. Despite the appearance, it's a melee hit.

- Throw: "Umasugiru~!" Absorbs a fraction of the opponent's life. Seems to do the same for the air version.

- j2 + A/B/C: She takes a little hop in the air before diving downwards with her spear. If blocked, she bounces backwards. Because of this, reflector followups whiff her. Seems to have no delay upon landing, but has a bit of start up.


Specials
- Getta Kanone, 236 + A/B/C:
"Te--!" Launches a projectile from her spear. The projectile itself is fairly fast, slightly slower than Anonym's gunshots. The A version goes horizontally, the B version tilts about 30 degrees, while the C version tilts the projectile about 60 degrees.

- Rantsunettsu, 214 + A/B/C:
Set-up projectile. Upon activation, three bullets will be set on-screen and will start homing towards the opponent after a few moments. Upon contact, the shots will explode. Though there are 3 shots, they collide with each other, so they only function as 1 hit. Despite moving towards the opponent, they can be easily dodged by a backstep. A/B/C determines the time in which the projectiles start to home towards the opponent.

- Gleipnir, 22 + A/B/C:
"Gleipnir!" Similar to Mycale's Freya (214). Summons chains from the ground and upon connecting, it'll hold them/keep them stunned for a period of time. Although, it activates quite late compared to Freya. A/B/C determines the range of which the chains are summoned (like Freya omg).

- Syuterunprethya, Hold a button for a period of time then release:
"Eins!" Launches a beam projectile from the spear. Activates pretty quickly. The beam becomes bigger and does more hits depending on how long you hold the button. Her voice sample also changes to "Zwei" or "Drei" depending on the hold duration. Also exectuable in the air, where it launches at a 45 degree angle instead. Think Boxer punches replaced with a lazorattaxxx.

- 236 + BC:
"Moratta!" Enhanced version of a normal 236. I can't make this next part out help plz.

- 214 + BC:
Yadda yadda. Launches 5 projectiles. Unlike the normal version, each projectile has an individual hitbox so the move does a total of 5 hits.

- 22 + BC:
"Sokowo ugokuna!" Full screen chain attack. Also stuns/holds the opponent upon a successful hit.

- Hold BC for a period of time then release:
Launches a big beam. The duration of the hold doesn't seem to matter/affect things for this one. Due to the input for this move, it becomes impossible to do a reflector while charging for it. <- oops

- Gjallarhorn, jABC:
Dives towards the opponent with her j2x pose. Upon a successful hit, she locks on and fires a beam. Unlike Blitztank's move of the same name, this is melee based. Couldn't make out what the hell she was saying. Can only be done from the air. It's possible to combo into this by canceling off an air Syuterunprethya (hold/release special). lazor V-Slasher omg


Existing characters (from the doujin releases)
Akatsuki:
- Graphical changes to the retreat, backdash, dash, 6B (according to a 2ch post it's now an overhead elbow instead of kick) and j.2c animations.

Sai:
- Graphical changes to the walk, backdash, and dash animations. He slouches forwards much more for his walk, making him more Sai-ish.
- 6B animation changed, appearing somewhat similar to Geese's standing D attack.
- 236C -> 236B seems to no longer work. An increase in delay after 236C?
- a close 2C doesn't lift the opponent off the ground
- 4C's reach seems to be reduced

Kanae:
- Changes to the retreating animation. :S

Fritz:
- Changes to the retreating animation.

Marilyn Sue:
- Animation for the air throw altered drastically. Kicks the opponent towards the floor (therefore, it seems no longer possible to follow up after it)
- The animation for the first hit of ABC changed. She does some sort of spin before doing an uppercut.
- 5C -> 2B chain deleted.. instead 5C causes a ground bounce upon hit, allowing follow ups afterwards.
- No longer able to follow up from a midscreen palm rekka.

Wei:
- Graphical changes to the walk, dash, backdash, and the pose after a successful reflector. The dash makes him look more like a solid martial artist. what the
- New 2nd winpose.
- New animation for his air throw. He strikes the opponent with his fist. Functions the same as his old air throw.

Anonym:
- Slight alteration to the retreat animation.
- Removal of the power up bonuses from Tetragrammaton (ABC). oops.

E.Soldat:
- Slight alteration to the retreat animation.
- Drastic change to the 1st winpose. Rather cool for being Soldat...! 8U

Blitztank:
- There appears to be an increase in startup for ABC.

Murakumo:
- An alteration to 2B.

Mycale:
- Something regarding her reflector, can't quite make this one out.

Adler:
- He didn't change at all!

[4649]

good shit =)

[The Damned]

Anonym:
- Slight alteration to the retreat animation.

Oh, god damn. :bluu:

Oh well, at least Mary Sue appears to have finally been significantly nerfed. That's definitely something.

Thanks for the translations. I finally have someone to play that Chibi won't steal from me/get to first...maybe.

[ThrowTheDice]

Existing characters (from the doujin releases)

Sai:
- Graphical changes to the walk, backdash, and dash animations. He slouches forwards much more for his walk, making him more Sai-ish.
- 6B animation changed, appearing somewhat similar to Geese's standing D attack.
- 236C -> 236B seems to no longer work. An increase in delay after 236C?
- a close 2C doesn't lift the opponent off the ground
- 4C's reach seems to be reduced


Crap, what are they doing to him? No more 2C combos, dicked up elbow juggles and less range on 4C? That's about half of his combo potential gone right there.

[Leebee Link]

2C combos?

as long as 5C's fine and 236B aren't nerfed, he'll still juggle fine

[Master Chibi]

Oh man this new character sounds fucking delicious, need vids!

[KayinNasaki]

It's going to be hilarious when she turns out to suck and you end up playing her. :(

But yes, she does sound yummy. D:

I'm liking the new EX super backgrounds, and the scrolling English text. Nice touches.

Arcana Heart + MvC 2 = Perfecti

[woof]

wow i hate her voice
Arcana Heart + MvC 2 = Perfecti
umm how

[Xenozip.]

She kinda reminds me of White Len with better projectiles.
Arcana Heart + MvC 2 = Perfecti
That's a bit of an exaggeration. It's not like we've even seen her do a combo yet.

She's looks more like Mina from Samurai Shodown and some IaMP character without airdashes, to me.

[Rithli]

She shoots pacman ghosts.

[ThrowTheDice]

umm how

Not really in playstyle or anything, but that was just the first thing that popped into my head when I saw her.

Mamoru-kun might be Naomi but i don't feel like wading through the shmups.com forums to find out and besides i think that might just be PC based Naomi hardware considering that dreamcast OS was essentially windows CE based if i remember correctly?

[Munisai]

Sorry! I just read the first post! Stupid me!
Erase and rewind.

[Ryo Yamazaki]

I could be very, very wrong here, but on a surface level, perfecti seems like a better version of anonym. BTW do subtle style not like this character? Or do the japanese think she's broken? I can't fathom how this character can be made worse with every version.

I likes perfecti. I also likes purple nazi viper beam...

[Xenozip.]

Well we don't really know for sure, but we can make some educated guesses.

Regarding Anonym. First let's just assume Mycale is a popular character with the testers, and maybe/probably popular with the designers or whoever is in charge of balancing. She's integral to the story, and she's the token moe blob tsundere loli meganekko tramp or whatever. With that in mind, Mycale has a lot of trouble against nun.

So all the Mycale fanboys would naturally cry about nun being too strong. And it wouldn't be very difficult to prove that Mycale has problems with nun. Unfortunately it seems that their answer for that matchup was to buff Mycale and nerf Nun. But as a side effect they made nun too weak against everyone else, and Mycale overly buff against everyone else.

[HeartNana]

OMG Perfecti looks like a character out of Nanoha turned Nazi. Perfect!

Im using Kanae at the moment, but i dont feel like she's really my style, since the only reason i picked her was for her beret...

[digimonemporer]

How can u use net play for this game, like is there a tutorial in where to get it and how to use it?

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

man this game is awesome.

[Xenozip.]

How can u use net play for this game, like is there a tutorial in where to get it and how to use it?

The normal version of netplay comes with the game when you install it and update it with the patches. To use it, it's P2P so all you need to do is either host a game and have the other person join using your IP. Or you can join some one else's game when they host by typing in their IP.

However, Mauve created a fixed version of the netplay that runs much better for higher delays. But the information on how to use the new netplay hack is offline right now, but will probably be back up soon.

if you have any troubles getting it to work then please ask specific questions so we can help you.

Known changes are listed a few pages back in this thread. It won't be out until February i think (according to 2ch)? There are good chances to see a new patch or something after the arcade release.

I need to play some matches...

[Zee Tee Bee]

i like the new portraits+vs screen :7)

Looking forward to seeing more Wei akshun in future loctest footage. (too bad there's only like one person in Japan that can play him properly)

[Zakuta]

Ponder should talk w/ the makers of this game to replace the netcode w/ GGPO netcode :*

New match set of fisticuffun', jewpunchin' action featuring Zar and Rithli. Out of an immense match set of 40+ matches, 20 of the "best rounds" were placed in a highlight reel and had some funky music (by DJ Bellreisa (http://www.youtube.com/user/bellreisa)) dropped on it. Similar to 1131SP1 vs NUUN! match sets on niconico video. Originally recorded on Jan 11-13

(set 1) Badonkadonk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDrLGOGoax8)

(set 2) Double R (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-rQG7vdzjc)

(set 3) ....Anime Noise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCTaNwy6D08)

Enjoy 20mins of Marilyn v Kanae footage! :looney:
A much less extensive Wei v Kanae Highlight Reel will be coming soon......(if Bellreisa is up to it :clown:)

***can one of the akatsuki/mizuumi ppl add these matches to the xubersoldatx playlist for me, preez :bgrin:

Go to #Akatsuki on irc.mizuumi.net if you want netplay.

[Xenozip.]

Yeah nobody really uses the ss match making.

If you don't have an IRC client (just go download mIRC, dammit), mizuumi also hosts a web based irc chat client here (http://chat.mizuumi.net/irc.cgi). Just make it join #akatsuki like Harem said. But don't expect people to be around at all hours of the day, we're usually only available during peek hours.

[Tiggy]

Hey all, just wanted to spread my love of Akatsuki BLITZKAMPF with everyone :lovin:

I have looked at the akawiki, and I must say it's very helpful. I've only played the game a handful of times and I'm loving it oh so much! Between Akatsuki, Marilyn, Mycale, Kanae, and Anonym, I' not sure who I want to main. Sigh....

[Turbovec]

can someone reupload the BKAC location test 2 vids. It seems they got removed from YT. :(

[4649]

official ausf.achse site is up now

I hope they put out a PC Ausf.Asche patch too. This game is too sexy to just tease me with Japanese match vids :(

Also new Murakumo 5B do want.

[nekich]

New art is delicious, mmm (yet Soldat looks silly).

Other than that...Perfecti's sprite seems pretty unique (i.e. no recycled frames), judging from those little shots on the "systems" page.

[Gasaraki]

Just started playing this game today. Probably gonna main Sai, he just looks way too awesome.

[Cronopio]

I like this game a lot, it's a really nice change from most newer 2D fighters. I'm starting to get seriously into it (there's a small community that plays it in Chile, so I maybe could even get some Online competition). Fritz (my kind of character for my low execution skills :P ) and Adler (lots of fun) are my mains at the moment. I'm really hyped about this arcade release.

btw FUCKING STOP NERFING ANONYM FOR FUCKS SAKE :|

[Master Chibi]

btw FUCKING STOP NERFING ANONYM FOR FUCKS SAKE :|

It's a lost cause, trust me.

[Aka no Tsuki]

To Gasaraki:

Even though we only managed to play only a bit before the connection got screwed up, it was still nice to play online.

GG. Let's try again tomorrow.

[digimonemporer]

what's the current version of this game?

[nekich]

what's the current version of this game?
1.1.3.1 SP1

It's in the wiki btw.

[Gasaraki]

@aka

great matches, glad I can keep up haha



And now, replays for critique plz:
three matches:
mari vs sai
ano vs sai
mari vs sai

I'm sai in all of em, Aka no Tsuki is the other player. Also there was a bit of lag so we dropped stuff sometiems, though I dropped alot from lack of skill as well haha. We played laot more than this but I only remembered to record as we were about to end it so this is the best I got though we had better matches

[Mixah]

in terms of solidness, is this game or bbb better?

[fallot]

in terms of solidness, is this game or bbb better?

This game, by far. With the arcade release coming up I'd say Akatsuki was in a different league.

[Xenozip.]

in terms of solidness, is this game or bbb better?
BBB is not worth playing. It's horrible and I outlined why in the BBB thread.

Akatsuki is worth playing if you like the general flow and style of the more classic 2D fighters.

[Aka no Tsuki]

To Gasaraki:

That Anonym match was horrible. I couldn't get out of the corner and her melee kept getting outranged/outpoked, and I had a hard time zoning/reloading without having Sai fly across the screen and smack me.

I dropped too much stuff in the last match. Doesn't help that I ate a lvl 3 at the end when I thought I had the match.

P.S. Can you send me the other 2 matches too? I want to compare what I did right/wrong.

[Zakuta]

You know what will happen if they make Anonym good?

ANONYM SPAMMERS!!!

And we don't want that.

[Helter Skelter]

You know what will happen if they make Anonym good?

ANONYM SPAMMERS!!!

And we don't want that.

Look, just keeping rocking Kanae.

[Zakuta]

I have love for Anonym too! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/Youzansen/CG-Anonym.jpg)

[Mixah]

I think what turns me on to BBB though, over this game is the combos... I'm a marvel player at heart... I love combos... (same reason why I've started to use Ibuki the most in SF3)

But if this is more solid, then I think I'll learn this game. I love Super Turbo because of it's balance and solidness.

Where do I get updates? I'd rather not scavenge through 28 pages of posts.

Marilyn Sue Tutorial Video

YouTube Version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu38tmYOQ8Q

blip.tv version -- Higher Quality and Downloadable
http://blip.tv/file/680744/

A little project done in collaboration with Zar the Biscuit -- The Marilyn Tutorial video is complete.

--

With the release of Ausf. Asche coming very soon and with a handful of changes noted from loketests, this video is a bit belated. But regardless of all that, it was something I told Zar that we'd finish no matter what and here it is.

Besides, it is a great display of what Marilyn could do in the version before the one where Akatsuki Blitzkampf is no longer considered a doujin game.

Though they're already listed in the credits within the video, here are some people I'd like to give some kudos:

- Xenozip (for taking the time to capture all those replays -- there were a lot of them)
- Sp00ky (providing a location and being very hospitable while Zar and I Blitz-ed it out)
- siblade and Sabin (for helping with a handful of replays)
- bellreisa (for hosting the US irc community on mizuumi)
- zar (making them replays and for waiting it out through all those hiatuses -- SBO, yo)

Thanks for reading and watching. See you around.
EDIT 2.19.2008 -- added an alternate link

Gotta give out props to that tutorial.

From the editing, replays, presentation, music, player(s) executing moves, on-screen advice (even notations).......

If I were to rate this video on a scale from 1 to 10, that would be an insult. Ten just isn't high enough. Excellent job.

[Sp00ky]

Beautiful. It's too bad you don't like melty I would love for you to handle a V.Sion vid for me. Good job guys.

[Shotokan Symphony]

This makes me wish CF would get this game.

[Rithli]

I also added it to the original post, but a higher quality version of the vid is available here:

http://blip.tv/file/680744/

Seems like they also have the original file available to download, if you're into that kind of thing. Just hit the "File and Links" tab near the bottom right.

Thanks for the comments and feedback. They are much appreciated.
Keep Blitzing.

[nothingxs]

Amazing fucking video. You guys are seriously the shit.

[Master Chibi]

Have you guys seen the Adler vids on Nico Nico?

Some crazy instant overhead / absurd 50/50 stuff on a few characters.

Makes him alot scarier then I thought he wasnt.

D:

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2384168 - Corner
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2358111 - Midscreen + corner~

[Gasaraki]

Edit: nvm

So does Adler have Urien unblockables then? And what was going on in that corner stuff in the video where he was practicing on akatsuki? Glitches, bugs?

[Cronopio]

As an Adler player, I'm really interested in that stuff.

Thanks for the vids.

[Master Chibi]

Edit: nvm

So does Adler have Urien unblockables then? And what was going on in that corner stuff in the video where he was practicing on akatsuki? Glitches, bugs?

On the characters in the vids, j.A works as in instant overhead. So Adler can set up meaty EX-ball and go to town with a vicious 50/50. He can go low and combo from there or go for the j.A instant overhead which he can also combo from (come down with j.C) as well.

;3

[Fatal K.O]

I'm interested in picking this game up but I'm having trouble finding any Sai vids. Is he really that crap? T_T

[Gasaraki]

as you said, vicious D=

I messed around with Adler when I first got the game and he just seemed like a gimped Soldat but obviously that was ver, VERY wrong.

[bellreisa]

Soldat is a gimped everybody.

[Gasaraki]

I'm interested in picking this game up but I'm having trouble finding any Sai vids. Is he really that crap? T_T

Everyone told me Sai's high-tier actually, just noone in the US mains him, though I'm going to.

Yeah I remember you saying soldat sucks in the channel haha

[Mixah]

wow... magneto sue is seriously crazy........

[Aka no Tsuki]

I have a question.

What is Mura's corner and midscreen BnB's? I am only doing the short 2A, 2A, 2B, 8C, Super that does not do too much damage compared to others.

[Tiggy]

I have a question.

What is Mura's corner and midscreen BnB's? I am only doing the short 2A, 2A, 2B, 8C, Super that does not do too much damage compared to others.

This is taken from the Akawiki. It's the only combo posted for Murakumo though. It's a great resource if you haven't checked it out yet:

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

2A -> 2A -> 2A -> 2A -> 2B -> 8C -> (B+C or A+B+C) - Input is a little strange. Holding 2 for the 2A's and the 2B gets the charge in, 2B slides in so the rest actually hits, hitting 8C does the charge slash, and by inputting B+C quickly enough, the charge carries over.

With the exception of the extra 2A and the A+B+C link-up, it seems you may have got the jist of it.

[Leebee Link]

in the corner, supercancel sword upper into fireball super then juggle with 2A's into 5B into sword upper.

[fallot]

by inputting B+C quickly enough, the charge carries over.

By quickly he means any time you want really. The window is huge.

[Aka no Tsuki]

Thanks for the hints, guys. Yeah, AkaWiki has been my bible for a while now.

I tried Leebee Link's combo, the damage is pretty good if I burn a 2nd stock and tag on a Ex sword at the end.

I agree that tagging on charge B+C moves is very easy in this game.

[Zakuta]

I wonder how much the AC release of this will cost - because I'm actually considering getting it because it's a home made fighter that's actually pretty cool.

[jugoso]

The thing about Mura is that his launcher is his landmine. You can try different juggles from there. If the bnb's blocked, you can do 4C or 5C for mind game and crossing crouched characters respectivily

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Hey guys. So, I finally got a new computer (actually a laptop). Which means I can play more A:BK with you guys; at least that is what I thought. It seems as though A:BK doesn't play well on my laptop...I'm not sure why. Here are my stats:

Windows Vista 32-bit
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.00 GHz
Video Card: GeForce 7150m 264 Mb Integrated (so 128 Mb)
Memory: 3 Gb RAM

I'm fairly sure I should be able to run this game (it ran fine on my old computer), but something is wrong. Here is what's happening:

- During the opening and that screen between the character select and actual fight -- 60 FPS
- At any option-type screen (including the main one) and the character select screen -- 15 FPS
- During actual fights -- 30 FPS

The weird thing is that no mater the FPS the game plays at the normal speed. It just skips all the frames it misses so everything looks jerky.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Gasaraki]

^You know, I had a similar problem, and it was solved by running in fullscreen for some reason, are you running it windowed?


Also I played against my friend's Kanae today, her grabs are fucking killer. I can barely ever avoid that shit. If I just jump I tend to get hit by her normals and just put right back down ot he ground so I really dont' know what to do.

[bellreisa]

Speaking of Kanae, her palm loop in the corner is so retardedly easy:rofl: As for a decent strat for avoiding her command throws, the best thing I can think of is keeping her at a distance...easier said than done, I know. Mid-range pokes and long range specials (i.e. Mycale maybe?) should work and keep Kanae players on their toes.

[Gasaraki]

Well I main Sai and most of his normals are outranged by hers. AFAIK he doesn't really have any good solid pokes compared to her. Like, I can use 5C(whiffed) to jump over her 2C and recover before she does, but there's not much I can do about her own 5C aside from parrying. If he does it from max distance that doesn't help either as it can just totally whiff =(

I dont' have any solid way to get in my range or out of her pressure. I mean sometimes I get a good positioned parry, throw or 236C in but it's not very reliable.

[Tinshi]

The thing about mura doing that corner combo is that you should really go for a mine setup.

like 2A 2A 2A > 2B > sword upper > Fireball super > 2A 2A 2a 2B into (C) mine.

The reason is that with this setup you get corner pressure so that they get punished for trying to leave. Also if you try to do a sword finisher instead they recover in time so you don't get to set a mine without getting beat up.

Also C mine pops them the highest make sure you use that one dont use the a version cuz it pops them really low so no combo ability.

The pressure is combo in corner into mine, control the corner and detonate if they try to escape and use his walk (running) speed to catch up to them for a combo into mine again.

Ask if you wish to know more.

In that case, I can't really help. I don't know Sai too well:sad: But you definitely have my props for maining him.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

^You know, I had a similar problem, and it was solved by running in fullscreen for some reason, are you running it windowed?

Running it in fullscreen makes it normal. Thanks. I hate fullscreen though, but I guess I'll deal with it.

[Aka no Tsuki]

To Gasaraki:

Was it in windows mode when we played? Was it why it was lagging like crazy? I would run it in full screen next time when I am back from my trip.

To Tinshi:

Thanks. I need to work on using the mines as launchers. Do you usually use the Mura's EX moves or do you save the meter for the ABC?

[Gasaraki]

^Yeah it was, thing is when I ran it in windowed mode during the times I had IRC open as well it had been working fine. It just suddenly stopped working like that, but going to fullscreen fixes everything. Next time we'll just set up a session and have to talk afterword.

But you definitely have my props for maining him.

Why? I don't find him especially difficult to play. Though I still miss the 6B->2A link half the time =(

[Zakuta]

...wouldn't mind trying the nethack if people are still playing this online. I remember my connections to people being really rubbish with the original netcode...so I expect better things with the 'net fix'.

[Tiggy]

Why? I don't find him especially difficult to play. Though I still miss the 6B->2A link half the time =(

I know next to nothing about Sai:rofl: I watched a combo vid once, and I played through Arcade mode with him once. If I did any combos, I don't remember what they were, let alone how I did them. I dabble with a few characters in this game, and Sai just so happens to not be one of them.

[bellreisa]

Greetings. This is the email I received:

Dear sir,
Thank you for your email.
We are sorry for did not make update list yet.
Akatsuki (rom for Naomi) is Y180,000.-

We hope you can make it.

Best regards,
Yumi

180K yen is approximately $1,720-$1,735, plus shipping. Anyone interested in this project, similar to how Sp00ky is running a donation drive for Arcana 2? I don't have a supergun yet, so I would have to factor that in as well.

[Zakuta]

£1000? Not too bad I guess. I should tell an arcade down here to get it, it's better than having selected game hogging up a VS cabinet...

In any case, just watched the ABK:AA vids from Ko-Hatsu, the matches are pretty good, though if you watch the Anonym matches from her opponents point of view it was terrible (though the Anonym player was good).

[Tiggy]

Ok, maybe someone can help me...

I've been trying to uninstall ABK from my laptop, because it runs a little slow and a couple of the menus are bugged (character select being the biggest one) but I've run into several problems:

-The uninstall program for the game gives me the message "An unexpected error occured."; this happens when I try to uninstall from the Add/Remove Programs list, or when I double click on the uninstall icon for the game
-I can't even do a System Restore, which is really weird (this scares me.....)
-I even tried running the program regedit.exe, but I couldn't find the files anywhere (maybe I just couldn't find it, not necessarliy saying it wasn't there)

If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

New highlight reel from the 1131sp1 crew. Featuring Adlr and Myc only this time. Man, I can't wait for these guys to jump on an arcade cab to rep this game properly cus right now.......TRF and ko-hatsu footage is looking :tdown:.

Amagiri's Myc is so damn solid. Peep his anti counter reflect strat at 1:33 in the vid. Adl comes in w/ the deep jump in to potentially bait out a reflector-attack and counter w/ his own. Instead of having Myc's reflector attack deflected, amagiri cancels out the attack before it can be registered and saves himself from punishment. 1131 (adl) lands and reflects out of anticipation and both players are put in a neutral situation. Nice play!

Ama also does some sick zoning (6:54) and some ghetto corner pressure (7:03) later on.

My Marilyn isn't as bad as I thought. I drop her corner combo a lot, because connecting the 2A after 236A > 4A is somewhat difficult. Besides that, I ain't too shabby with her. I might try and pick up E-Soldat next time I play the game. His corner combo is funny to me for some reason.

I find connecting the 2A to be relatively easy. I have a lot of trouble with her 6B after the 2A though. Sometimes 6B does not connect at all, sometimes it connects but the next 2A will whiff...etc. :shake: I guess my hands are too slow.

Oh, I use 236B, 4B.

I find connecting the 2A to be relatively easy. I have a lot of trouble with her 6B after the 2A though. Sometimes 6B does not connect at all, sometimes it connects but the next 2A will whiff...etc. :shake: I guess my hands are too slow.

Oh, I use 236B, 4B.

236B > 4B :amazed: *Tiggy has epiphany*

Sounds crazy enough to work. I will try after I play around with Soldat, Akatsuki, and Kanae more:wgrin:

[drauch]

Downloaded the demo today, and I loved it. Really dig the graphics, and the backgrounds are neat, too. :)

A Murakumo vs. Fritz movie that was floating around nico.
Though, the real winner is Kanae. Don't take my word for it; watch it.

I guess I wasn't the only person thinking about salads whenever Mura's ABC super went off.

[Cronopio]

Holy shit at Fritz's mixup in the last round of the second match. That round had everything. Awesome video.

[chopa]

that had to be the best match I've yet seen in this game

[Zee Tee Bee]

ok, wait, wait, WAIT!

How in the FUCK did kanae do the reflector>236bc at the end. I was trying to do that shit for days!! Trying to exploit the kara cancel off reflectors but couldnt get anything (e.g. reflect>23bc~6cb). The reflector would always override or if I tried to be slick and do it a bit late, the reflector attack would override.

And does anyone know what that random editing and text at the end was about (???)

edit:
(dammit, I should have put up blitztank combo vid mths ago =[ )

[Hayama Akito]

TURTLE POWER IN MY AKATSUKI!!

Awesome fight.

[Helter Skelter]

That's how you play Fritz.

My best friend mains Blitztank, I wouldn't mind seeing a combo video on him.

Yeah I remember us discussing that and you weren't sure why it wasn't working.
I had the idea that it might be possible but I wasn't able to do it either. Only empty reflect karacancel.

There could be a few possibilities. It may be an input thing where you have to either hold or release specific buttons, or it may be a just-frame.

Actually I've noticed other oddities about Kanae's super in general, but I've definitely never seen that before.

How do you download from nico?

[Cronopio]

Download, as in keeping the vid, or just watching it? If it's the first, go to the temporal files folder of your browser ( I use Opera and it's C:\Documents and Settings\whatever your pc's name is\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4 ) after you've completely loaded the video. There you'll find the .flv you've just watched.

If it's the second, get a nicovideo account. Here's a tutorial:

There's a downloader for Firefox in that post too, but I don't know how well it works.

[Emil]

Serikamo uploaded a large amount of matches about 8 hours ago...here's one pretty good one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3vwMzOHP5g

Kubo uses Akatsuki now too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4RvrP6CYJQ

[Zee Tee Bee]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...what are all of these vids! :mad:
bbl to comment after I've watched them ALL.

Edit: Haha I wonder if serikamo and daruism chill at the same spot.

[Rithli]

Love the new Akatsuki voice set.

[bellreisa]

still no vids of Sol

[Kayin]

That new overhead-looking move Aka has now is freakin' sweet.

[H-F Blade]

Haven't been here in a while. But damn, this new game is looking siiiiiiiiiick. I just might start playing again after this long hiatus. :X

[Cronopio]

Hmmm... Interesting vids, lots of Adler. He seems to be buffed up a bit.

Some questions for the more knowledgeable players: is Adler's somersault safe on block or did his opponents in those vids suck at punishing it? Also, is it just me or does his ABC ball spin faster now? And was the combo at around 1:11 in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3vwMzOHP5g possible in the PC version, or is it new?

[Zee Tee Bee]

still no vids of Sol
Yeah, dont know whats up with that. Since I got back into the char I've started to enjoy using him more and from my exp. I dont think hes that bad of a char to run as a main. Only thing that angers me to no end when using him is NOT HOLDING 1/4 DURING COMBOS (stupid unintentional booms). That will take some time for me to get used to :rolleyes:

That new overhead-looking move Aka has now is freakin' sweet.lol looks like Ryo's overhead chop. Opening frames also make aka's chop look like the start of a fireball.

I just might start playing again after this long hiatus. :XYou're such a liar.......................................just like everyone else :sad:

Adlr seems to have not changed much (if at all) from the latest PC version.

B and CSomersault is very unsafe on block (http://akatsuki.mizuumi.net/index.php/Adler)(scroll to bottom). Not too sure about the disadvantage on the A version. A version may not be jab punishable but normally I would punish a blocked somersault with a throw. The frame data above is based off the 1121 data and I believe Adlr may have received some buffs from 1121 to 1131. No 1131 data for adlr has been issued yet though (?).

As for the combo at 1:11 in the vid you linked, I mentioned it in one of Renda's earlier vids (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ba4EBad6Ohw). Don't know if he took what I said into consideration or if he just happened to figure out the combo himself. I used PC (obviously lol) to test for the combo before posting the notation so yeah, its doable.

[Cronopio]

Hey, thanks for the info on Adler's combo.

[fallot]

I liked Akatsuki's old 6B better :arazz:

[Shotokan Symphony]

I liked Akatsuki's old 6B better :arazz:

Yeah, but do we really need him to be that overpowered?

[Turbovec]

I fail to see how his new 6B is worse than the old one. >.>

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

Yeah, but do we really need him to be that overpowered?

I fail to see when Aka was EVER overpowered =\

[Shotokan Symphony]

He was pretty effin' powerful on the pc installments prior to the last two patches.

[Rekka1210]

He was pretty effin' powerful on the pc installments prior to the last two patches.

speaking of patches, how do i install the latest one?

We ran a small 8 man Blitz tournament on the EC this weekend, videos are up now.

[bellreisa]

41 videos. (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CE494460AA8C505F)
Brackets (http://stuff.mizuumi.net/blitzkampf/SaufVabk.jpg)

1st: Zar [Wei, Marilyn, grey Soldat, Anonym]
2nd: Rithli [Kanae]
3rd: bellreisa [BURGIN'dy Soldat]
5th: Tinshi [Murakumo]
5th: sibladeko [Marilyn]
5th: sphyra [purple Mycale]
7th: Hyperhal [Fritz]
7th: Sp00ky [Adler, Akatsuki]
7th: Zaelar [blue Mycale]

The Zaelar/Tinshi matches seem to be mysteriously absent right now.

[Rithli]

Whoa, that was super quick. bell-tastic.

Big thanks to Sp00ky for being super hospitable/awesome again. Kudos to everyone that showed interest in the game and participated in the tourney. It was astonishing to see virtually the entire cast of the game represented in such a small tourney and over the course of the weekend.

I had a real fun time. Keep blitzing! Blitzblitzblitz.

[Zee Tee Bee]

Oh man, Blitz was too damn hype for me last wknd. Haven't had that much fun w/ a fighter in quite sometime.

Props to Bell for coming through yet again to get down on Das Blitzen Aktion (fuck those 'other games'). I need to xcopy those Boom 'n' Boots blockstrings to complete my zol. Tinshi for being randomly funny even when sober and running mad GIMMICKS *stamp* w/ mura. Rithli for always staying hard-fucking-core into ABK - A "Blitz Heil!" salute to you, sir. Spooky, for holding down the fort and letting us hold down a bit of it as well as breaking two SauF body-count records! (13 heads + a chick!? :looney:). Always the good host. Sphyra for wowing the crowd w/ his day 0 mage. Keep playing that bitch plz cus we need more ppl running the bs characters of the cast! Zaelar should get back into ABK because I sense growth in its future and you should be there to accompany the community as you're somewhat of an 'OG' player. And Hal.......stop crushing keyboards. :arazz:

Apparently ABK was so hype at SauF V that the rep files for several different laptops (and one desktop) exceeded 200 total reps for each station the game was played on :amazed: . Reps feature: Zol (red = bell, other/white = zar), kanae (rithli), akatsuki (default = rithli, random), murakumo (tinshi), mage (blue = spyra, white = zaelar [not 100% on this] ), mari (sibladeko), nun (rithli, zar), sai (xaq), and possibly more!

Sp00ky's Desktop (http://www.teamspooky.com/Random/casuals031508.zip)

Sibladeko's Laptop (ftp://ftp.mizuumi.net/sibladekoakatsukilaptop.7z)

Zar's Laptop (ftp://ftp.mizuumi.net/blitzkampf/zarlaptopabk1131sp.rar)

Bellreisa has a bunch of matches on from his laptop as well. Hopefully he will see this post and throw those up as well.

Enjoy.

~Zar The Biscuit

[Master Chibi]

wtf you even used my color >:O!

[Zee Tee Bee]

Sorry dude, I had just watched EQ a week before and got hype enough to run dat "Promoted Cleric" color. God, that movie is so inspiring. My permanent color will probably be olive nun in the future (until I decide I want to go Jane Preston on niggas)

[Master Chibi]

Haha

No harm done man, just enjoying the vids.

<3

[Gasaraki]

Cool stuff, don't have much to say since you've all been playing longer and I don't use any of your guy's characters anyway haha. 'cept Fritz, but I'm playing him pretty much the same as the other dude, Hyperhal I think.

[bellreisa]

Seems like I erased mine. :|

[Aka no Tsuki]

Cool stuff, don't have much to say since you've all been playing longer and I don't use any of your guy's characters anyway haha. 'cept Fritz, but I'm playing him pretty much the same as the other dude, Hyperhal I think.

You should netplay mauve's fritz, he's in the WC (Washington) and we had acceptable lag.

Very long matches that goes down to the last few seconds.

The highpoint of those matches was when he drove Fritz's ABC right into my Marilyn's 214[A] mixup.

We used delay 4.

[Hayama Akito]

I uploaded some local matches from my country, with me against a friend (Lataxx), we are not the shit but we can do something... at least you can see that there is a little scene here =P

[digimonemporer]

Isn't there an IRC Channel related to this game? Because I really want to play vs. people in it.

[rogueyoshi]

people stopped playing it online due to subpar netplay, although mauve's patch improved it slightly.

[digimonemporer]

And that patch is located where? :wonder:

But as in "slightly" does it really make it playable online...like ggpo playable?

[rogueyoshi]

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

i guess you could make comparisons to p2p kaillera.

[bellreisa]

Blitz's netplay is slightly below Caster's, and Caster is the standard client for IaMP and Melty Blood. Caster uses input delay to compensate for the lag, and while the connections are very good, some people simply do not like input delay of any kind. GGPO's method goes beyond simple input delay and thus acheives a superior connection quality. Blitz's netplay is playable from coast to coast given perfect conditions on both sides (wired connections, no downloads or uploads going, no high-latency hops in between) but falls slightly short of Caster (not by much IMO) and definitely below GGPO level.

[Mixah]

where do i get the latest version? i don't feel like searching the thread... sorry

[Atb_555]

Also is the latest version equivalent to the arcade version.

Thanks

[4r5]

-1 Magical Nazi Schoolgirl
among other things

[fallot]

Also is the latest version equivalent to the arcade version.

No, there are significant differences from the arcade version. Some characters get new normals. There is a whole new character. Anonym is faster etc. etc.

[nekich]

Plus, in arcade there's a whole lot of graphical tweaks - like new char.selection screen, parallaxing stages, new EX/Lv3 backgrounds and that kind of stuff.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Ive Been playing this for a long time and boy this is a good game. do you think there will be a netplay lobby hack for this?

[FoldoutChair]

Ah wow! The spambot bumping made me remember this game!

Anyone still up for playing this? Message me if so. I'm horribad at it but it's fun.

[Hideki-Motosuwa]

I don't know why but after playing this with *Skitz* and another friend of ours, I've suddenly gotten back into playing this game again.

Anyone else out still play this? If so, you can find me on IRC at #anime-toshokan @ irc.rizon.net
or at my website http://www.animetoshokan.org . I really wanna get back into this along with me playing Arcana Heart & MBAC.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

I use the reflector too much

[Zee Tee Bee]

oh yeah, that reminds me, NJ/NY ABK group (zaelar,chibi,zar,rithli) rounded up last wknd for a bunch of casual games. I'm going to watch through a few reps (as soon as zaelar sends them to me) and pick some out to throw on the xubersoldatx account then post the rest of the reps for those that feel like sitting through 100+ matches lol :looney:.

Blitz Heil! :annoy:

[Master Chibi]

My Anonym > EVERYBODIEZ

[Zee Tee Bee]

Ok, still trying to gather all of the reps to ul as well as filter out the 'presentable' ones for youtube. In the mean time, here's a post-mb tourney, live recorded match to hold you suckaz down. *courtesy of Sp00ky*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czF6x9dAWgs

[Mixah]

So i'm trying to beat the game with anonym.... can't do it... tips please? (without me having to change difficulty)
just trying to get the last of the endings i haven't gotten yet.

[Zee Tee Bee]

Heres the match set I promised a while back. Rithli and myself running subs for lulz. Props to Sibladeko for the encoding (we'll try to have more VARIETY for you next time! :wink:)

[Mixah]

[rogueyoshi]

i think bell has them hosted or linked on mizuumi.net

[Hatred Edge]

where do you download updates? i'm having a bitch time finding the update.
http://subtlestyle.net/download.html I found it.

[Mixah]

akatsuki working for you?

[Hatred Edge]

Yeah it works great.

[kane_warhead]
