LatiosG Report post Posted February 13, 2014 I'm also not a fan of the mission mode. I spent alot of my offline time in vanilla going through the different routes, upgrading characters, beating entire maps and getting icons. The missions now are so bland and often tedious instead of actually challenging. the levelup system is annoying and there also seems to be a much lower number of them compared to vanilla.

Mightfo Report post Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah, most spawns make a lot of sense but a few are just baffling. Nuke spawn is hilarious. On a lighter note, one time on brett's stream a zaku3 landed his suicide grab on a Destiny, respawned, and then combo'd destiny to death while he was falling from the launch from the suicide grab.

Leebee Report post Posted February 14, 2014 random question: are there any characters that have/use viable sukashi (whiff) combos in FB? I remember back in NEXT Haman's Qubeley had a very strong one using her launcher. since the proration values for combos are usually highest for the first hit in a series it could do 300 or so damage IIRC. there were others but yeah was just curious. obviously ones that are super easy to cut aren't really that viable, but it would at least be good to know if a certain character had some in case of going for a death combo.

Skillkill107 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 I wouldn't know since I was never that good at NEXT, but honestly, the game's changed since FB. I know Unicorn can perform a whiff combo with it's BD melee and most CAN achieve it but, most characters either have much better melee combos with every hit connecting or achieving a quick knock down. Since overall melee guidance was improved and hit stun neutralizes gravity more, it's just safer to go for what you can do without doing that and what's harder to cut than it is to try to inch out damage like that. If we stick to the topic, Most kill combos rely on hitting with one extremely high damage attack and following into an connecting EX attack or abusing EX mode's lower down value to get increased damage before landing an EX attack.

brett_ Report post Posted February 16, 2014 random question: are there any characters that have/use viable sukashi (whiff) combos in FB? Yes, many. GP-02 has a good one, Arche also has a good one IIRC. Johnny Ridden's best combos involve whiff combos, and they're pretty practical. There's more I'm sure but those are the ones I remember, and they're practical. And yes, the system is definitely the same as you described in the sense of whiff combos giving you better damage due to down value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brett_ Report post Posted February 22, 2014 so, after what you call "Platinum", the ranks are an actual gold color, which is why we call the first metallic rank Bronze rather than Gold, and the one after that Silver, rather than platinum. the jp ranks are Bronze: 少尉 中尉 大尉 (shoui, chuui, taii) Silver: 少佐 中佐 大佐 (shousa, chuusa, taisa) Gold: 少将 中将 大将 (shoushou, chuujou, taishou) Final Rank: 元帥 (gensui) each one has a star between 1 and 5, which takes 150 points to go to the next star value, until you hit silver at which point it becomes 200 per star. In the previous version, the stars next to each rank actually symbolized which of the three levels you were at within each metal rank, so if you were Bronze with 1 star, you were a Shoui, and if you were Bronze with 2 stars, you were a Chuui. As such, the english players often called ranks by "Bronze 1" or "Silver 2" etc. This doesn't really work anymore because within "Bronze 1", there are now 5 stars. So you can't actually say you're Bronze 2. You say you're Bronze 2-3 or something like that. So if you don't read kanji or don't really know the names its probably better to look at SP or relay SP to your friends when talking about ranks cause it can get pretty confusing. And don't rely on counting stars to see how high or low someone's rank is, because if you can't read the kanji you might be seeing someone who's Bronze 3-1 which is a good 1500 SP difference from Bronze 1-1. It's technically unconfirmed what is after Gold, or if there even is gold yet technically, but if they're mirroring the way the arcade did it, it should just be one Gensui rank after Gold 5-5. Hopefully this clears some things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brett_ Report post Posted February 24, 2014 The points required to rank up in arcade were much smaller and I believe losing was less severe in terms of point loss. It definitely felt like that having played EXVSFB arcade and ranking up personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legendarycurry Report post Posted March 3, 2014 I am very interested in trying the gundam games, sadly I have hardly any knowledge about how the gane actually works(The reading a wall of text method is not working for me) know of any solid video tutorials? I know Fataldmg made some but haven't seen a new one in a while. Also, should a person interested in this game wait for the new arcade revision to reach consoles? and lastly. Can this be an enjoyable game if you have no buddies that have it that you can team up with? Thanks. Peace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
