Time for some Warzard love!

[Hol Horse]

So now that the cpsIII emu is available, everyone can finally try and play this hard to find game.

It's a lot better than what I thought, pretty limited for vs play due to lack of playable characters, but it has the best single player mode ever and graphics are really good. Backgrounds look all nice (some are quite gorgeous) with some destructable stuff here and there, and sprite detail and coloring is amazing, with animation so good that only SF3 surpasses it (and maybe Jojo, but JoJo is unconsistent as far as animation quality goes). CFJ renditions of Warzard characters were quite bad compared to the cps3 eye-candy.
The level up system is interesting, it's nice to see how you get new moves, how Leo gets new swords and shields which change his sprite; enemies also become stronger as your level rises (that's not effected by difficulty level itself) so that they start doing new moves as well - this keeps replay value really good.
I just found a second ending with Leo - so the game has multiple endings. I continued in both cases, so that's not what triggers the different ending. Maybe it's the character level? Are there more than 2 endings per character?
Also finishing moves look cool, slicing enemies in half with Leo never gets old

This game needs soo much documentation!

I didn't really try vs play aside from a couple of matches with lv 1 characters still not knowing anything. I don't think it's tournament worthy due to the extremely small selectable roster, but it would be nice if it's somewhat balanced - you know, kicking in a Warzard mini side-tournament in bigger events could be fun if vs play turns out to be interesting/fun

[Rioting Soul]

Thanks for the heads up. Just wanted you to know somebody cares just in case the thread gets closed.

[woof]

i was mostly interested in seeing how the martial arts chick played since she was never in any other capcom fighter like the rest of the cast but then i found out shes just a shoto [i never got past level 10 of course] with panty shots every other frame

kinda kool



i fucking love the graphics though. the animation quality on the multi-sword relic boss is amazing.

[True Grave]

Awesome! I hope to finally play this one someday, especially when kawaks catches up to the recent CPS-3 emu stuff.

(No i have not checked on them yet. I'm going to wait a while till the rest of the bugs are ironed out, and CPS3 becomes as simple to run as CPS2.)

[woof]

and CPS3 becomes as simple to run as CPS2.)
well it already is but ok

[Gorehound]

I can't run it on my computer it gives me a " Unable to find appropriate zbuffer format" and "Unable to initialize video subsystem" on that Nebula Elsemi CPS3 Emulator!

I can run it on my bro's laptop, but not on my older comp, and i don't want to use my bro's laptop :sad:

Gi Gi is like the coolest boss I seen :bgrin:

[woof]

ok nothing is better than mashing on character code and somehow getting max level

mailing gets a fucking airdash that can do damage, thats awesome

[Azagtoth]

Requesting fatality conditions GOGOGOGOGOGO.

Also extra ending conditions if possible (and of course other discoveries).

[Hol Horse]

I know that Leo can slice enemies in half by winning with his dp+p move
Maybe qcf+p works too if it's the last hit that kills the opponent, but I'm not sure about this. I love the "how that monster was inside" details.
Remember to set Violence Mode to "normal" in the test menu, otherwise the game gets censored thus no blood and no "fatalities"

I'd like to understand the experience requirements for levelling up, too. I reached level 20 with Leo, but every level takes longer to reach - I suspect that the latter levels might take more than a full playthrough, at this pace.

[isamu]

I'm confused by some of the comments describing this game. Is this a 2v2 fighting game or a beat-em up(ala FF) or a combination of both?

[Rioting Soul]

It's 2D fighter when it comes to user interaction, but it's modeled more for the single player experience. You level up your character and earn new moves throughout the game.

[Hol Horse]

it's a 1 on 1 fighting game, with 4 selectable characters and 8 monsters to defeat that can conceptually resemble scrolling beat'em up bosses (but you fight them like every 1 on 1 fighting game).
What's the standard score points in other fighting games doubles as exp. points in this game that make you level up and gain new strenghts, resistences, and moves. Anytime you lose or you complete the game you get a password that relates to your current experience and you can use to start a new game from the last level you reached.

[Iapetus]

This is one of those few times I wish I didn't have a Mac.... :sad:

that is awesome,Mai Ling should have been on a Capcom vs. by now.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why that didn't do it.

What about the heart ripping sequences? Are those Kenji only, or is there something I'm missing?

[Lebowsk1]

Oh man I gotta try this. Will be interesting to play a 1vs1 fighting game that is geared towards single play (are there any others?)

[Festival6667]

This is one of those few times I wish I didn't have a Mac.... :sad:Parallels 2.X supports everything but native 3D and the new Parallels 3.0as well as VMWare fusion support already like 40% of software requiring 3D, with some acceleration. Seriously it's months until virtualization solves all the remaining compatibility issues on mac.

To give a simple example, I play EFZ with netplay on my mac as well as a little emulation and all are perfectly running though they aren't meant for macs in the first place

[Rhio2k]

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why that didn't do it.

What about the heart ripping sequences? Are those Kenji only, or is there something I'm missing?

Only Mukuro can do that, as far as I know.

[TempestFox]

Damn, I really wanna try this game.

[Shade]

Damn, I really wanna try this game.

What's keeping you from doing so?

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why that didn't do it.

What about the heart ripping sequences? Are those Kenji only, or is there something I'm missing?


All of them can do a Kill move. Some are just cutting them in half. Kenji can cut in half his opponent, and ripped their heart out.

[TempestFox]

Being lazy in finding the game + emu. Which I just did. Pretty fun, though I wish I knew what was going on.



Oh yeah, fully pumped guys, for those of you too lazy to search:

6314124524 Kenji
4141664444 Leo
1312644354 Mei Ling
4631123244 Tessa

[eidrian]

I didn't know we could play CPS3 already, that means Jojo is playable now?

[Azagtoth]

Only Mukuro can do that, as far as I know.

All of them can do a Kill move. Some are just cutting them in half. Kenji can cut in half his opponent, and ripped their heart out.

So it is Kenji exclusive. Thanks.

[Rhio2k]

Someone please PM a link to game+emu. Cuz i didn't know we could play CPS3 already, that means Jojo is playable now?

If you can call it that. It's so fucking bland. If it's gonna have such a limited system, they should have included super-jumps and aerial battles, like the anime.

[Shade]

Jojo's the shit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si5_S8F3leA

[Ryu & Ken]

Can I play these games on x-box

also I heard JOJO has something called storymode, is this the same thing like in the PS version

[Mixah]

The game can be classified as SF1, with 4 selectable characters and up-to-date engine / graphics

It's seriously fun, but I odn't know what I'm doing.

Could somebody post up a tutorial, or a link to one that's in English. The japanese one isn't good for much, for me.

And requesting a PM to the EMU + Games is against forum rules.

[eidrian]

I can't run it on my computer it gives me a " Unable to find appropriate zbuffer format" and "Unable to initialize video subsystem" on that Nebula Elsemi CPS3 Emulator!

I can run it on my bro's laptop, but not on my older comp, and i don't want to use my bro's laptop :sad:

Gi Gi is like the coolest boss I seen :bgrin:


I'm getting that same error. There's like no options to configure here, so any help on this is GREATLY appreciated.

[Savage Garou]

I made it as far as picking Leo and beginning my first fight and then the game crashed. Anyone else having the same problem?

[MiyagiShin X]

thanks for info, i wouldnt of found out till way later.

Much Appretiated. Playing WarZard right now

EDIT: nvm i need some sorta pass. PM if u wanna help me out with this.

[hubcapsignstop]

damn
i am dying to see/play this game
this makes me want to get a computer

[MeanGreen]

i've never even seen this game :confused:


any vids anywhere, anyone working on some

[1/2Man1/2God]

Anybody having problems with sprites dissapearing on Warzard.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

So..umm...command lists?

And levels that you get attacks?

EDIT: Here's what I found for Mei-Ling using OrochiTempest's password (lvl 32).

qcp+P - fireball
dp+K - vertical hurricane kick
rdp+K - jump on wall~diving kick
hcb+K - running combo attack
hcb+P - running/jumping command grab
360+P - command grab
dash (in air) - air dash

qcfx2+P - super fireball
qcfx2+K - super vertical hurricane kick

qcb+PP - Use current orb's power

Done while blocking an attack with Ultimate Guard:
back, d/b, down+P - punch counter attack
back, d/b, down+K - sweeping counter attack

[CptMunta]

This game rocks my socks!

The art design is incredible and bonus stages are helluva fun.

So how about some combos?
Combos seem to give you a ton of EXP points and since the characters play so differently to Capcom Fighting Evolution all their strats go out the window.

All I know how to combo is Kenji's Hurricane Kick from middle kick which is my basic bread and butter, Which is a basic no brainer.

Anyone like to add some insight?

[wakeupsweep]

I've been messing around with the game a little, looks good so far, but I'm kinda dissappointed by the lack of juggle possibilities.
I've been using Mai Ling and apparently all she can follow her launcher (cr. fierce) with is a super fireball, a red orb or up+roundhouse (homing attack) and all of them seem to cause your opponent to fall to the ground before you recover.

She can chain her attacks with a weak to strong chain (ex: jab,strong,roundhouse)
All of her light and medium attacks are cancellable, hards are not, with the exception of cr. fierce.

With that in mind:

- jump in, s.jab,s.strong,cr.fierce(1 hit) xx fireball/super fireball/red orb (2nd hit of chained cr. fierce misses, so you can't launch them)

- jump in, cr.short,cr.forward,cr.roundhouse (knocks down)

are very basic combos.


Misc stuff:
-j. short crosses up (has to be blocked the other way)

-red orb combos off normal hits and deals the exact same damage as a super fireball. It's pretty much a better version of Magneto's magnetic shockwave, so to speak.

-the other orbs don't look too useful to Mai Ling as they have a huge startup, save them for a super.

-if you juggle with a super fireball all the hits will connect.

I haven't used her at her max level yet, so there's bound to be stuff I'm missing.

[Azagtoth]

Ending conditions from Gamefaqs:

Kenji (Mukuro):
Ending 1: Complete the game using fewer than 20 continues and chose to trust the ninja's report.
Ending 2: Complete the game using fewer than 20 continues and chose not to trust the ninja's report.

Leo:
Bad Ending: Complete the game using fewer than 20 continues and defeat Blade (Jihad) with a dismembering special attack.
Best Ending: Complete the without using any continues and do not defeat Blade (Jihad) with a dismembering special attack.
Good Ending: Complete the game using fewer than 20 continues and do not defeat Blade (Jihad) with a dismembering special attack.

Mai Ling (Tao):
Bad Ending: Complete the game using between 5 and 19 continues.
Good Ending: Complete the game using 4 or fewer continues.

Tessa (Tabasa):
Ending 1: Complete the game using fewer than 20 continues and chose to seal the creature.
Ending 2: Complete the game using fewer than 20 continues and chose to take the creature home.

Simple (generic) Ending: Complete the game using 20 or more continues.

[Tiberious]

I'm having difficulties getting the swords from the 'fully charged' Leo password. GameFAQs claims you need to be level 16 (I'm at 22 now), beat Ravanger (the sphinx) in under 80 seconds (199 - 80 = 119, and I've had times of 130s when finishing), and defeat him with 'Mystic Force' (the orb attack, and using Ice). No dice. Not getting any sword replacement option/notification. After a successful attempt, QCB+K (the sword swap move) still does nothing.

Based on ingame text (English; Asia version), it might be Gi Gi that is the key character, so I tried the same conditions... still no luck.


Anyone know for SURE what has to be done?

[wakeupsweep]

Looks like I was way off about some things.

You don't always connect with all hits of super fireball when you juggle with it, you actually have to time it right. Tessa seems to be the easiest one to time it on.

The second hit of cr. fierce chained off other normals misses on Tessa and Mai Ling but not on Kenji and Leo, i.e. you can combo into launcher.

Violet (poison?) orb is as good as red in ground combos (very fast startup).
Orange (lightning?) orb looks good to punish wiffs when you're far from your opponent.
Blue (water?) orb is awesome to juggle after a launcher, better than red

Up+roundhouse isn't exactly a homing attack, it's an otg (think of vampire's up+punch), you can use it right after a launcher and you'll follow them in the air though, and it's performed with every kick, not just roundhouse.

Crouching moves knock your opponent further away than their standing counterpart: s.jab,s.strong,cr.fierce is possible. cr.jab,cr.strong,cr.fierce is not.

Combo of the day (on Kenji and Leo):

crossup j.short, cr.short,cr.fierce(2hits), juggle with super fireball/blue orb/red orb, OTG

I don't know how you get the swords, but when I use the lvl 32 Leo password....I have four different swords I can use. I just wish I knew what the difference was.

[Demon Dash]

So this is like a fighting RPG then?

[G@B0]

I have beat this game with all the characters and i have to say that the last boss is the easiest boss of all.
I only grab him and trow him.
Im gonna try ultimate battle mode cuz that was disappointing.
I have 3 swords with Leo currently on lvl 10 and I still don't know the effect of those swords.

[-=KOH=-]

I think I was the only person who really didn't like this game that much.

The leveling was alright, interesting setting and graphics, not much else.

The bosses were also pretty cool.

[G@B0]

Some kind of fatality...

[True Grave]

Got to play Red Earth for the first time recently, nice! First and only character i've played so far is Leo. I guess i'll play them one at a time, so after i max out leo's abilities i'll move on to the other three.

[JackTenrac!]

i've never even seen this game :confused:

You need to kill the sphinx with either the fire, ice, or lightning orbs (which you use will decide the element of your new sword) under those conditions, and then continue onward to the bonus game and when you destroy the statue you should find it there.

[Akutabi Gamma]

So I've been playing with Kenji...anyone know what his full movelist is?
Lvl. 21 ATM, gonna take me ages probably to reach MAX level =_=.

[celcius]

Anyone know what the max level is? 99?
Also, how do you get into the test menu? I've gotta see these fatalities...

[MiyagiShin X]

I know Gamefaqs has a movelist but it seems very incomplete. Someone should make one. and make it more detailed. I know only basic jump in combos in this game as well.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Anyone know what the max level is? 99?
Also, how do you get into the test menu? I've gotta see these fatalities...

The max level is 32.

And, if you're using Nebula's CPS3 Emulator, you press F2 to go into the test menu.

[bloodriot]

I wonder if the bosses will ever be playable? I doubt it but you never know?

[Iapetus]

Dip Switches anyone?

[Mixah]

i'm so confused to how to play this game? i can't seem to get more than a four-hit combo without supers.
