I don't know if you are aware of this, but Japanese people made this game.
Only played the DC Last Blade, I remember people hating the music when it first came out but I thought it was quite catchy.
Last Blade 2 is good but Garou is fucking godly!
BTW that screen capture sucks.
SURELY YOU JEST.Quote:

Congrats, this is the first thread on TNL I've looked at where I've actually laughed in real life. That screen capture is great :lol: :lol:Quote:

Is that what the game looks like when I'm looking through mini-blinds?

I couldn't agree with you more. I had this discussion before on this board with a couple of these guys and it got a little ugly. Whatever you do, don't mention Samurai Shodown in any way .....SeriouslyQuote:

Remember, kids:
Samurai Shodown 2 holds Arcadia/Gamest's title as The Most Unbalanced Fighting Game Ever Made.
Church.
The Last Blade games are all about style and mood, and I fail to see how the titles don't deliver abundantly. I'd never be able to call the game slow after seeing some of Rekka's combos.
Last Blade > MotW > SamSho > KoF > Fatal Fury > Art of Fighting.
And every Street Fighter game is better than them all.
And I don't count MotW as a Fatal Fury game, because it's good for a change.
IceP i owe you a match in LB2 and SF3, then you owe me one in ggxx. Whenever you are actually home on a weekend, drop me a line.
The Real Bout games have aged graphically and gameplay wise really well I think.Quote:

I don't remeber any kof's aside from 2002 being really tourney playable. Barring I think it is the knife guy, LB2 i don't think is that broken. Now, Motw is practically legendary for being broken.
Thing is, if it were a Recap thread, it would contain useful information. That way if anyone hadn't played the game he/she could learn something about it. It's funny that the folks that actually contribute something to the gaming internet get shat on by those who don't and then laughed at by others who don't. Must be a sad life, not having anything to do with yourself except trying to spite others. Enjoy.

LOL, yes. I think I can accept such a jpeg from a man who spends what appears to be damn near his entire life crying, complaining and posting at internet message boards for what appears to be almost no reason other than the desire to spite others. A perfect example of the sort of sad life I was getting at. Thanks for backing me up. Just in the nick of time too :)

Hmm, ok, well there seem to be other problems as well, although the biggest gripe still seems to be the knife guy. Now, if you could prove my assertion that MoTW is also broken, i would be overjoyed, because i would have a reason to pick up and play that awesome game again. Thanks for the info.
Every fighting game ever made is broken, as long as you ask enough people.

A few quick comments:

This is keeping in mind that Sam Sho 4 is still moderatly up there on the fun meter. SF III Third would nudge it's way in there between LB2 and Garou, and SF II Turbo would be right behind that.
I'll back you up. After hearing so many great things about this, I finally played it a few months back and came away with the exact same reaction. The game is too fucking slow.Quote:

Like I said, just ask enough people :p
Actually, i honestly don't htink that will get you past dural on the normal difficulty. Even if it did, AI, (which is certainly NOT this games weak point) is rarely the deciding factor of broken or not.
Of course, this splendid exposure of "Last Blade 2", full with the recap-parody and the reasoned opinions on why is it the best game ever is a fine example on how to use properly this forum's "space".Quote:

GGXX is also very well balanced overall and #reload (while destroying some characters we know and love such as Baiken) has made the game even more balanced by lowering insane damage and adding other tweaks to the engine.
I was just providing some info I found interesting on the LB2 because I too noticed no one playing it competetively. Then again you don't often see much with older games, but some are making a come back, like Vampire Savior which is being run at SBO2 in Japan and Alpha 3 (which many consider to be majorly broken as well).
I will try and find some info on Garou as well, but from what I generally hear and read, the game is regarded much higher than LB2, and the fighting system has elements used in games like CvS2 with the just defending and low jumping. Overall I think the game feels a lot better than LB2, but that's just opinion and honestly if you have a group of friends playing LB2 too, then why not play it? But if you are looking for it to be played on the competetive circuit, it looks like it won't be making a comeback anytime soon.
Not many SNK fighters are played competetively these days, though KoF2K2 is getting some play.
Last Blade 2 Rules!!!!!!
FEAR SETSUNA!!!!!!!!
I'd really like to play you... fly out to Crofton. I have LB2 on my cab right now.
Personally I am biased towards nearly all SNK games (there are many more on the opposite end of the scale being Capcom fanbois). But if you think that LB2 is too slow, you were not playing it correctly. The control on this game is silky smooth, and the VS battles are a blast. The bosses are a bit unbalanced, but I cannot think of too many SNK fighters where they are not.
I personally prefer LB1, but I can not give a good reason why. None the less the LB series is dripping with style. The combos are smooth and it also has game elements that allow you to delve much deeper than weapon games previously released.
MOTW is still better than either game. As far as broken, I can not think of how MotW is, but I would love to see some info supporting it.
Lee is one of my favorite characters in the game with lots of style and moves to spare.
Anyways, I am rambeling. I think when I get home I will put LB1 back in my cab. :)
Did some research, apparently MoTW has something called feint combos or cancels, which allow certain characters to SOAR over others with rediculus damage. I think the tops were Butt, Gato, Dong, and Kevin.
No... you fly out to Iowa dammit.Quote:

We could play on Kailera. Then no one has to fly anywhere.
[edited] Fuck it, I don't feel like being assholic right now.#Reload is more unbalanced then GGXX, hurting characters that didn't need to be nerfed while enhancing already powerful ones and bringing in more infinites.Quote:

Depends on far you feel broken is. There are some insane combos which can deal 80-90% damage non-TOP, but no infinites (that I know of).Quote:

I don't play many video games anymore, but I still manage to play LB2 almost every day. I recently gravitated towards Kojiroh after using Setsuna for an extended period of time, though it's been a difficult adjustment. Never played against anyone before in LB2, unfortunately.
At least it made me laugh.Quote:

Some of your threads are enjoyable, but some of them are really not, because they're about stuff that either everyone knows or no one cares about. Learn to tell the difference and you're all set. :) Seriously.
Faust and slayer never had "juggle" infinites, nobody had juggle ones, the combo system makes people fall faster and recover quicker, so in air infinites are not feasible. Faust had a "pull in infinite" which was taken away in reload version B (the console version). The slayer infinite does not work in reload either.Quote:

Yes it does. It's harder to do and they removed the ability to IK from it, but it's still there.Quote:

As far as I know from people who play the game at tourney level, Slayer's infinite is gone. There is added bounce back to the move as well and the combo ends once the character hits the edge of the screen...Sol's one dust loop was removed as well. I will be getting the game next week so I am going to test all this new stuff then. But GGXX is even more balanced than most Capcom and SNK fighters and reload (version B released on the consoles) is getting a lot of increasing support in the fighter community and that's why I am making the jump to it from XX. Damage was scaled way down and some characters, like Zappa, are now playable at competetion level.Quote:

If you don't think so, just ask fubarduck, who takes 1rst to third at most texas tourneys (zappa playeR). Sol's dust loop is still in there, just can't be done with super jumps. But, yeah, its like in almost every way a better game. The top 4 are still the top 4, but there is less of a gap. Unless it gets a US console release, you will never see it too much more popular than say, last blade 2Quote:

Well on the East Coast it's gaining popularity and yeah I know Zappa can be run in tourneys, he just has to work harder than virtually everyone else! We have a decent Zappa player and there are a few other on the east coast who play him well.Quote:

Well, its more like the pitts ohio players have converted. Lucky for you, the pitts ohio group is like 95% of the extremely good ec players. Md, unfortunately, shows no signs of converting, and until it does, i don't want to mess up my game by playing reload.
You can still travel the playing field and Pile Driver it, it's not the beast it was, though. I learned how to do it in practice mode but since I don't like using infinites I've never used it against a person (and hence I can no longer do it).Quote:

Sweet, I didn't notice you were from MD. Hey did you hit either of C-God's last 2 tourneys? Yeah we hosted a tourney recently and the Pitt players showed up and schooled in GGXX. We learned a lot from them. We had people from all over, it was great -- we are having another one next semester, so you should try and make the trip, I'll post info on it once there are more details. But we plan on running reload and a couple of others less-played games like Vampire Savior.Quote:

I came in second at the last one, didn't go to the one before that. I try to make whatever tourneys i can, but i usually travel with a friend drew (kono), so what he can make, i can prolly make. Like i said, i would love for reload to take over, but in my area, thats not going to happen anytime soon
I was wondering, the import copy of this game LAST BLADE 2 FINAL EDITION, does it have the option to change into English like the old Kof games on DC? Also, is there anything different from the US and the import copies of the game? Thanks in advance~~
Unfortunately, no. The Japanese version of the game is uncensored, and boasts a Hanafuda (card game) mini-game that the US version lacks.Quote:

also, sorry if this was asked before but what is censored in the US version?
The blood was recoloured from red to white, and the ability to kill an opponent at the end of a fight was removed.Quote:

Plus you can't unlock the killer mode of Hibiki, since to get that you add to kill like 3 or 4 of your opponents, so Agetec just left that completely out when they cut the killings.Quote:

ah, okay, thanks. still want the card game though. Maybe i'll just get the import.
I'd recommend the Japanese version of the game, because of the fact that it's basically identical to the Neo Geo version of the game. Last Blade 2's storyline is decent, but I never considered it to be one of the game's true strengths. Personally, I don't feel like I'm missing out on much by playing the Japanese version of the game.Quote:

Someone posted about the netcode on NG.com, they said it was terrible. The port itself is excellent in single player, but garbage for online.
So sad.
i till have my dc version. im good
I would buy it again but I don't have either systems.

Like they learned from the netcode of the last gen ports of both of those games?
These kinds of ports are surely made by randomly assembled teams that work for 3 weeks then disband forever.
Iron Galaxy did manage to do it with the Darkstalkers port after ruining my favorite game though.
Third Strike Online needs a do-over. I'd like it if they'd throw in New Generation and Giant Attack in the process.
That would be really awesome. I was just playing 2nd Impact last night. I like the backgrounds of that game. Shame about Last Blade 2's netcode being assy. Guess Fightcade lives on for that one.
I always loved Elena's (?) in the forest on top of the waterfall that falls down to a log after a round.
Remember the Cringeworthy moment when some of you called Atlus and badgered them about the lack of blood.
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2016/j...4-and-ps-vita/
Garou is coming to PS4.
I hope it's a good port! I love how that game plays.
I'd be excited if I thought there was any chance in hell it would have good netcode.
Exactly. GAF says it's fixed, but if rather hear it from somebody here.
Well, let them fix Last Blade 2 and I'll buy both.
No, that's what I'm saying. GAF says LB2 was fixed from its initial release on PS4
Even if the net code is perfect, there's gonna be lag from Mexico where all the players are.
Orly? Interesting.Quote:
