So, I missed the Ranbat. Anything worthwhile happen, or was it just Ragna and Arakune in the finals again?

It was Ricky Ortiz vs Veteru.

Ragna vs Ragna.

As usual, there was some pretty intense high level play.

In any case, here were the ranbat results.

1- Veteru
2- Ricky
3- Goryus

Here's some other matches I managed to record...

I finally got to try out this game while I was on the SFSU campus for a class I had. I don't normally play on arcade machines, so I was a bit rusty but I was able to get the hang of it after two games. Love using Ragna, tried out Taokaka for a bit too. Hoping to get the console game when it comes out in June =)

when taokakaftw gets better at this game, your faith will be renewed.  :P
taokaka is the most awesome character in the game.

Random tidbit: Her VA is the same as Lucchini from Strike Witches, that makes her 2x as awesome.

If you want to gauge how good characters are by voice, Rachel is top.  And you know what?  She is.

Her voice is pretty top, but whenever she does something she says a paragraph.

When they make it possible for the rest of the cast to have a remote chance at competing with the top tier characters, my faith will be renewed.

AKA major balance issues ruin an otherwise great game.

The only character that has no chance against top tier would be Tager.

Carl and Haku-Men are equally boned against the top tier characters. The rest of the cast fares better, but not by much. Both V-13 and Arakune (but mostly V) can totally shut down every other character in the game, unless they can somehow manage to make it through a nigh endless barrage of projectile spam. Rachel (In my opinion, she's not really broken) has retarded pressure, but that's about it. Ragna just needs to die. Most of his moves have insane priority, and nearly everything he has is safe on block. As I said above, V and Arakune can both spam projectiles and play keep away the entire match with next to no problems. Of course, Arakune has to land his cloud first, but considering that it stays out until arakune gets hit AND curses on block, it's still pretty retarded. After it connects, it's just a matter of Arakune spamming bugs and playing keep away until you die. As for V, she can just do 20 hit projectile combos from full screen all day. People say that once you get in close against V and Arakune, you've got a good chance of beating them, but considering how hard it is to get in close when you have to dodge a hojillion projectiles (which are often coming at you from multiple directions), I would take this with a grain of salt.

So, as I said, major balance issues.

EDIT: The other characters do have a chance to beat these characters, it's just that it takes an insane amount of effort for most of them. (And often times luck)

Carl isn't nearly as bad off as Tager and Haku-men.  At least he can do obscene amounts of damage.  As hard as it is to get people in his loops.

Word on the street some secret enigma is coming down to Fanime to enter Aksys tourney.

LordKefka

God damn this game is awesome. Aksys wins to have the game set up in the dealer's room. I got my ass handed to me more than a dozen time but I just can't stop picking Noel every time I played. Girls with guns = win.

So, apparently me rage-quitting this game made me get better at it. I think i'll make the predictable return to playing.

Bah. He just got lucky and didn't have to fight Arakune in the quarter finals. /bitter/
