2008 KEEPS BEASTING, HYPE MOTHERFUCKERS HYPE GET MORE

I hope this is a good game.

[Nocturnal]

I'll give this a shot.

Edit: It appears to have online play as well and I can only use Keyboard atm :(. Also I dont get what each groove or whatever those bards are after picking your character do. So far the controls are pretty decent even on keyboard.

[nGuman]

This sorta reminds me of Bloody Roar but that is because of the screenshots I'll also give this a try

[woof]

i cant wait to us e the scaley in this game

[Rioting Soul]

Has anyone seen the gameplay footage on Youtube?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiGq9DwSUFA

If this is the game then I am not interested.

[Hecatom]

im dowloading it, i will try it to see how good or bad it is

[Zero3K]

In order to use its online play functionality, do the following:

1. Select Online in the main menu.
2. Select the first option from the next menu.
3. Select any open room
4. Enter a name into the first option of the next menu.
5. Select the last option and wait for someone to join (if no one joins after a while, it'll disconnect you and send you back to the main menu).

looks furry. not monster furry, but still furry.

[FullMetalRoss]

Anyone know what the grooves do? Bird guy is a shoto with funny run mixups? it's got juggles and chains... and some grooves that I don't know what they do, translation would be cool. Also have to choose your super? or something.... transformation mode with qcfx2 plus blow out.

Oh mannn wicked red fireball mixup with gainer... and his dash run lolz.

[m121akuma]

Downloading now. It looks kinda fugly, but free is free.

[FullMetalRoss]

3 super type is like speed from last blade... you put in certain commands like abc,abc,ab,qcf+c and a chain combo is performed at least for bird guy he still has his grab super as well as the dial a combo super, ex's still seem possible... this is weird!

Okay so for bird guy

super 1 is grab super plus rush super, that has three levels and gets changed by power up mode
super 2 is grab super plus fireball super that can be done in the air
super 3 is a rush super like neo deadly rave only 1 level, but you do still get the grab super

I'm checking on the grooves now.

all this is done with the birdman btw

1st groove(gainer) has ex's I don't know about meter requirements yet but yeah, has dash, has super cancels, also specials cancel into ex's, though the both require the special to hit and be on the ground so like dp into super doesn't work with the bird. Can't get Ex's to cancel into supers.
2nd groove(rogue) has no ex's but has an airdash. IAD is 9,6, has run, and has air chains. When you press blow away or whatever it's called it does an attack. You can cancel into this attack and this attack is immediately cancelable. Probably costs meter or something. Sorta like saving attack in sf4, can cancel specials.
3rd groove (sorcerer) has super cancels and run. the blow away button gets some new moves, hcf is tracking fireball, qcf is a fireball thing, and it can be done in the air, backwards dp is probably a counter and dp is a crazy firepillar that probably hits multiple times. These seem to be super cancelable. you can't do chains in this mode, but some links are available, also bird guy can do cr.medium into f+heavy.
4th. Well the last one is called norvice so I assume it's the novice one. It binds some specials to the blow away button. I think that probably about it! oh it has dash

Now I just got to figure out what else you get during power up.

[Hitaro0]

I tried the game but downloading it and starting it up, half the cast is missing and everybody's called "Gainer". Am I missing something?

[m121akuma]

Gainer is the name of the "groove" you are using, not the character. As for the cast...I still haven't figured that out.

[TaZaR]

Why always lolis or furries? :looney:

[FullMetalRoss]

this game has alot of random meter systems. But it's really generic overall to me.... I don't know maybe if I play someone.

[frustratedsquirrel]

Why always lolis or furries? :looney:

There really aren't enough furry fighting games for anyone to compare them to loli fighters yet.

Compared to Monster it looks cheap and fugly. But yeah...freeware. I'll take a look.

[Xiii]

Why people always complaining? Loli and Furry themed fighters combined don't even scratch how many "normal" fighters are out there. Hell I doubt combined they even match how many SF iterations have come out not to mention the shit SNK and ArcSys releases.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Played a bit. Here is what I know about the grooves.

Gainer:
- Chain combos
- Ex moves
- Ex moves can cancel into other ex moves (and some Ex cancel to super)
- 1+D is a universal launcher

Rogue:
- Chain combos
- Double jump and air dash
- 3+C is a universal launcher, and can be chained into
- Use D during any move to "roman cancel" it
- Lower damage than Gainer

Sorcerer:
- NO chain combos
- 1+D is a universal launcher
- Everyone gains four moves (the same moves) done with the D button
- Higher damage than Gainer

Novice:
- Chain combos
- D plus directionals do special moves
- Only one throw.

Also, every groove has the same super cancels.
Another thing, this game has a 3rd Strike style parry system.
And, it has a KoF style guard attack system (D while blocking).

[Nocturnal]

With Rogue you can pull off some pretty long combo strings with the D cancel stuff but it tends to be a waste since the damage scaling goes into effect rather fast. It still feels rather simple even with all the different options each groove gives. I also believe the last groove has auto block as well which is pretty much an easy mode. Tiger guy reminds me of King from Tekken.

[Akutabi Gamma]

....Furries......
Oh well lets see how good it is.

[koogy]

Why always lolis or furries? :looney:

no escape

fight

[Tiberious]

This could be interesting. I think I already know what character I'd use, even though he is a grappler (you don't get 720 motions otherwise).

Yes, I'm biased towards tiger characters. Don't like it? The hell with you, then.

[Chipp Zanuff v5]

This game is actually broken lol. I tested this game a few weeks ago. Couldnt stand it lol

[Rhio2k]

Why always lolis or furries? :looney:

We won't know if it's furry until most of the male cast is confirmed to be homo (furries always have to gay up everything they're involved in). For now, it's just anthro. As for the loli...well, Japan has always had that problem...

Listen to this guy, he knows his stuff.

(Having said that, Monster is still not gay enough to qualify despite the offi*mugged*)

But this game seems suck. I like the characters and the effects. The animations are slow and robotic.

As for the loli...well, Japan has always had that problem... Have you ever had an AV that wasn't of an animal? Last time you were a bunny thing.

Random, I know, but since we're talkin bout furries and all that good jazz, it's sorta relevant.

[Rhio2k]

Random, I know, but since we're talkin bout furries and all that good jazz, it's sorta relevant.

Last time it was a Nidorina bicycle-kicking the dark knight from Kirby. I made this av cuz of all the eyebrow-raising posts on this site. I was gonna put a "WFT?!" beside her face, but I suck at imageready. I once had an av of Lois from Family Guy rapidly punching her sensei Tom in the gut, with a full and flashing v-ism meter, but eh. And then there were the 4 Justice League avs I made: Huntress Spinning Bird Kick from "Double Date", Lex bitch-slapping The Question, Batman taser-punching some bad guy in a construction worker outfit, and Vixen and Paran-Dul trading punches. I just use whatever I happen to be watching at the time for an av. Not sure what I'll put up there next.

Btw, there's also a BBS in it. In order to post a message to it, do the following:

1. Select Online.
2. Select the 3rd option.
3. Type what you want the developer to read and press Enter.

This game looks over all... odd... :wonder:

Wouldn't mind some clear footage of the game.
All the youtube matches I've seen always have a bunch of frame skips.

This game looks over all... odd... :wonder:

All the youtube matches I've seen always have a bunch of frame skips.

This game has the highest video requirements of any computer fighting game I've played so far. Well, they probably aren't that high, but I can't play a constant 60 fps on my shitty laptop (even with EVERYTHING turned down). The point is, it might be hard to capture a good match with video software.

Also, this game is odd. I detailed the groove system to the best of my ability on the previous page.

I want to point out that there is another system in place too. The "Wake Up" system. I'm not sure how to get the activation, but once an orange word appears under your lifebar, then you can press 22+D to activate that character's Wake Up. Each character seems to have something different, and it alters all max-level supers (of the chosen ones, not the 214214 super).

P.S. I don't know any character's name (and this is off the top of my head):

Girl - Her Wake Up changes her move set. She can no longer do sonic boom/flash kick. She gains 236 and 623 moves. She loses her 214214 super.

Guy - Don't know any changes.

Tiger - Don't know any changes.

Bird - Gains double jump (triple jump if in Rogue).

Maybe the other character's don't have their things implemented yet. This is obviously a beta.

[FullMetalRoss]

damage scaling in this game is too ridiculous. I hate how doujin companies implement damage scaling like this just in case they missed a broken combo or something. So stupid. Oh well.

[Zero3K]

Here's a link to a video of it that was on the developer's blog:

[Akutabi Gamma]

Ummm how do you get the game menus to appear in Japanese instead of Gibberish?
Also for those that use a Keyboard, what do u assign your keys to?

[FullMetalRoss]

open booster. downoad the update, start the game. Go to options and config keys to there. To have the menus in booster appear in japanese you need applocale or to change over to japanese text display in windows (which will require a restart)

[Tiberious]
