Alright, let's talk about Xrd 1.10's Loketest

So, this weekend is the first location test for the first serious balance adjustments to Guilty Gear Xrd. Before I jump into what's going on with the changes, I'd like to talk about where the game currently stands. From there we can see what the aim with the update is and what it'll do to the game. So, let's jump in!

7wonders XX ^C +B

Let me tell you about 7wonders. It's a drafting card game designed by Antoine "Hanabi, Takenoko and Ghost Stories" Bauza. It was released in 2011. I played this game a ton last year. I'll be playing it likely just as much this year.

The game flow is pretty simple. Each player is dealt 7 cards. They each draw a card from their hand, place it face down and pass the remaining six on. Everyone then reveals what they've taken, picks up the hand passed to them and does it again. When there's two cards left, one is taken and the other discarded into the center of the table. After this draft, each player fights the two on either side and gain victory or loss tokens. This is done with three hands of cards and then scores are added up based on what you've taken.

F.K. Digital Updated WHAT?!? - A Super Cosplay War Ultra Infinity Primer

So it turns out that on Christmas Eve 2014, F.K. Digital, creators of Chaos Code went and updated their other fighting game. Super Cosplay War Ultra. That freeware game with the autocombos they first released in 2003. What a glorious way to end a year that saw a 1.2 release for E's Laf (and a sequel announcement!), Wonderful World updates bringing it ever closer to 1.0 and French Bread releasing a commercial cash-in licensed game! Oh and some dickheads charging money for Vanguard Princess on Steam when the same version is available for free.

So with that run-on sentence out the way, let's break down my platonic lifelong partner, Super Cosplay War Ultra ~Infinity~

So, the Beta for Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm went live a few hours ago. At this point all the art, gameplay core, new sounds etc. are done. All that's left is balance testing and netcode. So let's talk about this game again, and what's changed!

Week 1 Game Review: Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax

French Bread were pretty darn lucky guys. In the early 2000s when they decided to make a fighting game using characters from Tsukihime to show their fondness for the VN, its makers gave them a big thumbs up, hooked them up with some mighty fine voice actors (including George Nakata of Hellsing fame no less!) and started their merry journey of steady income via frequent updates that doubled as advertising. They even put Shiki Ryougi in the Playstation 2 port of Actress Again to advertise the then upcoming Kara no Kyoukai movies!
