@@UMANGPLAYS that’s his original name in Japanese

Batman has plot armor, that building has plot structural integrity.

@@ArctheLadder Makes sense hahaha

@@Krizalid3YE Shoutouts to Krizalid though, I love that damn motion capture suit lmfao.

@@ArctheLadder it's comfy.And have AC system too.

I'm not holding my breath, but I'm hoping that with Arika working on the new Art of Fighting/Ryuuko no Ken that they can bring back some of this magic. Akira Nishitani's games are in a class of their own as far as fighting games and arcade single player goes, at least to me. Unappreciated, frankly.

@@arvidfrom4211 thanks! There are items and ideas I didn’t end up being able to flesh out for myself since I didn’t want to do any runs for shop money, but it’s an interesting system to play around with in the main game.

Hopefully I can do more, though it’s really a crash course in KOF and I’m basing it on stuff I see these two players doing at a Japanese arcade. K’ seems really fun, but I definitely need to clean up my execution.

:(

@@ArctheLadderNot Bad

Who are you using and do you get the general idea of how to catch her from the video? Describe what is happening.

@@ArctheLadder I am using Devon and she usually runs away before I get close. a few times I do manage to get a few hits on her but usually she runs away so fast that I have trouble getting close again

@@Spazbo4 so you should be looking through the openings in the barriers to see the direction she’s moving in. What you want to do is cut her off by running to a point/intersection that is in the direction she moving towards. You’ll see me do this multiple times in the video. What she will do from there is stop and try to shoot you, you have to take this moment to begin your offense. So you want to attack her before she shoots. Once she shoots, she might try some melee options but if you got a good opening then she should take an entire combo from your character where she’ll respond by jumping backwards and shooting at you then beginning the sequence again. When you’re approaching her, wait until you’re in range to lock on. Do not lock on before running up to her because you’ll move much more slowly when in target lock. Key things: 1. Cut her off at the pass in order to get her to try to shoot at you, which means look at her through gaps in the wall or pillar structures in the arena. If you listen you can hear where she’s moving via the stereo channels which can help with figuring out her position. Her trying to shoot you, stopping to aim at you is your opening and hitting her as she’s beginning to shoot and not after will get you consistent results. Sometimes you can strafe a shot and still get a combo in. 2. Use your R Trigger to strafe. Ideally you’re using it for hold based lock-on which is in the options menu but if you press it by itself your character will strafe while moving which is very helpful in gap closing and avoiding damage.

@@ArctheLadder thanks. that's what i've been trying usually but I haven't been aggressive enough I suppose

I am a materialist, specifically the materials I'm pulling out of something's midsection.

I didn’t climb them since I was looking to ampoule later in the stage. I know you can stand on the boxes but don’t really have the item money I would like to test the ideas I want to! But I’m glad you learned something from me instead! As for why I know you can stand on them. It’s cause if you make a mistake in that area normally… you can stand on them! But because I have to split money at the moment it’s just splitting costs between the platforms or the ampoules. Thanks! I’m more or less done with the game I don’t want to do a score run for more money, but I saw you on that leaderboard. Not bad at all.

Normally don’t talk over these, but I felt it necessary. I’ll probably be talking over these just because of my mixed feelings about the game.

I… I like short hair lmfao.

@@ArctheLadder It’s Kaede Hair Name

Yes, just making a joke that I want her to have short hair!

@@ArctheLadder I Want Long Hair

You got it, a sporty pony tail.

After jumping, hold down and press jump again. The more you press jump the longer you spin.

@@ArctheLadder Thanks man! I really appreciate your quick response, I dug out the controls manual (the demo doesn't have it, I think. I also watched some of your other stuff, it's all very cool. I wish you all the best! :)

@dawidzielinski8257 thanks! Glad it helped. The in game manual really is a lifesaver. Hope the game is more fun!

You know what's funny? On stage 1 Steam Version? That's me. I didn't cheat lmfao.

@@ArctheLadder 118 seconds?

@@SobberZ And somehow faster on Hard Mode, but I think it can be beaten. The item that makes you invincible is so goofy, the Medicinal Ampule I think it's called. And the SHATTERHAND DRONE.

@@ArctheLadder I’m gonna have to unlock this and try it, before they nerf it 😂

@@SobberZ It feels intentional, so definitely don't worry about that. There's some sick items in the game, for real.

Yeah, Kaede runs faster and Hayate has a much jump and better air mobility as a result. Note that the game has a dash button, so Hayate can cheat out of his shortcoming to some degree.

@@ArctheLadder Yeah It kind of looked like Kaede's jump looked lower. Guess she's been eating too much. Thanks for the reply.

@@xDragonInstallx no problem. 4-5 more days!

Me too! 9 days can’t come soon enough.

But it should bring memories of the classic Shadow Of the Ninja, on the Nintendo console.

@@peposo7Exactly. Hopefully people will go back and check the NES version.

My disability increase finally came through, so I'll need to drop on in through Twitch. Definitely pick this up if you can!

Yeah, in the preview I saw her name is Tsukuyomi/ツクヨミ.　　They had some preview pictures overviewing some preview pictures overviewing the changes/updates to the bosses, though

Yes, it should be out at the end of the month! Also, normal mode is definitely much more like the original. I really hated those comments going “this looks so easy”, yeah I’m not just, you know, making it look easy or anything. Hard Mode has some interesting aspects and I can see why you might deviate from the original design but there’s choices I would have made to try to retain the previous ideas a lot better.

Yep, it’s a recurring gag I have with these type of videos to put a reset in the footage. I’ve done it since all of my unlist streets of rage 4 vids.

Kula Diamond.

@@ArctheLadder 👍🏻 Ice Power too.

@@klivermateus5551 Same color as Kula's glove, it's the color palette. Jinx ain't got them there yellow.

Not wrong. I think that's something where it's an appeal to a modern youth demographic, just nothing to do about that creative decision.

Plenty of time till the end of the month to get it down. Still wondering how the difficulty is going to lean, because I think sub-weapons are definitely a foundational element. All that said... there are a lot of reasons I want it to be the end of the month and this game is one of them.

Hard to say, I’m guessing if there is a hard mode and if it’s based on the multiplayer mode I play then you’re going to get some nice, inflated HP values on bosses. The later stages and bosses take advantage of the resolution increase so I’m wondering just how they’re adapting the later stages and what the character differences are going to mean in terms of challenge. I do think there is some finesse involved, remember as well that you didn’t see my attempts to streamline the gameplay and familiarize myself with the game. This is a RU-vid video and not the process of really playing the game. I think the game will still deliver fun and challenge in that sense.

There‘s a Hard Mode in the new Demo I played today. Unlocks once you finish the stage on normal mode

@DiskusGames guess it’s time to bust out a console. I’m assuming they have co-op mode HP now.

It's unlocked from the get-go. Wasn't terribly interesting to me personally, but I imagine people who like building the item loadouts will have a really good time with it.

@@skubby4367 truly the best fight of the DLC
