For future reference, here's the Character Section of the JP website. Each character page has a stage listed with the character, if they have one. So, for example:
- Shizumaru - Nikko
- Kazuki - Sumidagawa
- Rimururu - Kamuikotan (Winter)
Really? This is all the discussion we get after Basara's gameplay demo today?
They really went all in with him. Makes me feel like he has some of the most moves in this current iteration. The Ninjas lost a lot of their tele and shadow tech compared to the oldest games... Basara is just ridiculous.
The Dengeki stream went into a lot of useful theorycraft. They messed with Okizeme setups, found ways to combo into Supers, tested invincibility of moves, anti-air potential, instant-air backhop specials, combos from air setups, and Yoga Sniper-like Instant overhead options. They also found you can cancel the crazy wind-up on his overhead into his Command Throw, or other specials, which some in chat at the time seemed to think looked so wild, that it was a bug.
His damage looks pretty nice, his strange normals have made a great transition to 3D as well. Even though he's a very "2D" design (with lots of sprite color shifting, weird use of frame blinking to slip in and out of reality, murky liquid that he teleports through, and a weapon that often times breaks the laws of physics), he's been ported over ridiculously well, IMHO.
That looks so nice... Basara has always been a character I've wanted to like, but never really managed to do anything with.
Hopefully this changes in this game (if/when it comes on PC).
That's a pity, stages have been mistreated lately in most fighting games. I know characters are the main thing of course, but it's nice to have variety. And i think samsho is a bit lacking, and has a lot of great old stages, caffeine nicotine one is gorgeous for example, basara stage or original earthquake's.He doesn't neither does Wan-Fu (at least according to the website). Kazuki does though. You can very briefly see it in the EVO trailer.
Thanks again. Good to have some, let's see if kazuki's one is good. Ideal for me is a stage for each character thoughFor future reference, here's the Character Section of the JP website. Each character page has a stage listed with the character, if they have one. So, for example:
So a total of 3 new, free stages, for 5 Semi-Free (Via the season pass for many players) characters.
- Shizumaru - Nikko
- Kazuki - Sumidagawa
- Rimururu - Kamuikotan (Winter)
I'm the opposite: I like almost all the characters of the series even if I don't play them, so they can add pretty much anyone and I'll be happy (especially since by the time the PC version will be out, we'll probably be at season 2).I really don't have too much personal investment in any of this seasons DLC. The base game characters appeal to me more as a whole, though I like something with each of the bonus ones. It's kind of nice, becuase I feel like anyone could become a deep favorite, with the proper gameplay gimmicks.
NP. Our brief look at Kazuki's makes it look like it's the SamSho version of that one Chinese Market stage from KoF XIV. So much more lively than many of the others. Closer to Galford and Darli's boat area. I like Samsho's stages so far, in that they represent very different locations. Even Summer VS Winter Kamuikotan. Having stages just to check off a list results in areas that don't really need to be there. Having area's with unique lighting, populations, moods, and color or even cultural themes, is pretty excellent.Thanks again. Good to have some, let's see if kazuki's one is good. Ideal for me is a stage for each character though
Btw why do people hide their win-loss ratio ?

Even my opposition to Mina and Iroha is more because how destructive they were to the balance of their respective games; if they're properly balanced (or nerfed adequately), they'll be fine. I still don't think they belong to the series, but once you accept Karakuri Hanma and Ochamaro in the canon, the definition of "belonging to the series" becomes too wide anyway.
The only bad picks they could make would be the few offensively boring characters, like Andrew or half of the Sen cast.
He is but yeah same thing for me.Is Basara part of the season pass, right?
It's asking me to pay for it. But I have the season pass, weird....
I'm on PS4.
Seems to be resolved now. I just downloaded him.
I'm trash and loved it. My second fave fighter of the gen behind SFV.
So was this on sale for Xbox for like... a day? Wario tweeted it being $29.99 and then it went away. Deluxe version is on sale though.
Kazuki Kazama launches November 18
Kazuki Kazama launches November 18
So i guess will be fixed at some point,but Kazuki is available on psn but not free despite having season pass
Grand finals between Infiltration and Xiaohai in China.
Infiltration has ditched Genjuro, Xiaohai is still rocking Haohmaru.
Here's a framerate test. So it looks like it occasionally dips to 50-55 FPS on average. Not too bad and again didn't affect anything from what I've played.
Hmm, sub-60fps on a traditional fighting game is never good...
From Kaiser on the Samsho Discord, Wan-Fu comes out on the 18th.
