[Eusis]

Vanilla/Cool Ice, Anasui/Anastasia, & Fugo are now up, $1.99 each like before.

They seriously went and renamed a guy to Anastasia?

Well, if the wiki's to be believed I think this guy was meant to be a girl in the first place, so I guess it fits.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

He's named after a female fashion designer, Anna Sui, originally so he never had a manly name.

As someone who only watches the anime, will I get too many spoilers for parts 4 onwards from ASB?

The "story mode" is barebones and done with all text, and most of the fights are cut out.

Yes

The Giant Bomb quick look made the game look absolutely terrible. Please tell me they were just doing something wrong/overlooked some gameplay element.

It's a Giant Bomb Quick Look. 9 times out of 10, they're doing *something* wrong and making it look worse than it is.

I played the demo and couldn't really understand how to play (do combos, link moves, etc.)

Try the demo if you're able

Point taken. I guess I haven't really noticed before since this is really the first time I watched one of their videos before buying a game.

Thanks, I think I'll do just that. I was unaware that there was one available. It wouldn't hurt to shop around for other reviews/impressions whIle I'm out there.

I was sold on the game by watching match videos like the ones HERE. The main guy of the channel often times steamrolls over his opponents, but when he has a good match VS someone, it's quite nice to see the depth of the gameplay systems.

Namco Bandai Games Europe also put out combo videos like THIS or THIS that make me feel like I have no idea how to play the game, even after all these weeks, haha.

Many players seem to overlook how free-flowing yet fairly well made the combo / cancel / style mechanics are. The game gives a lot of room for you to get creative, and it's characters all have unique quirks to them that make them all fairly refreshing to play, even between people who share the same basic styles.

So I went to Anime North yesterday, and actually managed to get my copy of All-Star Battle signed by Rising Superstar Liam of Two Best Friends Play fame!

I also picked up two killer JoJo prints that I plan on having framed.

It was an altogether GOOD day!

 

[Zonic]

Iggy is now up for download.....though no Shigekiyo or Kira.

 

[CrazyTank940]

Yeah, I'm still waiting on Kira myself. I just reeeally wish he was available to buy already.

 

[Mdesilva]

Platinumed the game today, now it's time to start unlocking stuff in Campaign mode and learn some combos for my main, the lovely Lisa Lisa!

 

[Yoroshiku]

Great job, (Namco) Bandai (Namco)!
You managed to have your DLC published for a game published by Capcom (at least in the German store).

By the way, does anybody have an idea when the other 2 DLC characters are going to be released to the general public?

 

[Zonic]

Heads up, Shigekiyo & Kira are now available for everyone. Along with Johnny SP Costume D for 99 cents.

 

[jgminto]

Huh, there weren't any purchasable costumes in the Japanese version. I wonder if it's a unique costume.

It was originally given to those who pre-ordered the game digitally in North America, while in Japan it was given away in a lottery.

 

[CrazyTank940]

Any chance we'll get the free costumes for Jotaro and Polnareiffel?

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

i just downloaded the demo for this, i have no idea what it is supposed to be about but it was pretty fun.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Lisa Lisa vs on CPU is too much

 

[somepunk]

Mista combovid for anyone that's still following this

[Zonic]

Heads-up, the game will be on sale on PSN tomorrow for $35, or $25 for PS+ members. Maybe we'll get lucky & the DLC will be 1/2 off as well.

Just got the game 3 days ago. Ain't that swell.

 

[Big Chungus]

So it's currently $20 on PSN...

Worth it?

Watched the new series and enjoyed them, but i'm not a big fighting game fan, just like to mess around a bit with friends.

This game is absolutely loaded with spoilers for the entire series, so I wouldn't recommend playing unless you're caught up or don't care about being spoiled.

That said it's a very fun game and has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, so go for it if the above doesn't bother you!

 

[mikezilla2]
