[Game] Fate/Unlimited Codes

[MarcusG]

http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/

Iam not sure if this is old but it looks interesting.

[Clarste]

There's no "Stay" in the title, it's just Fate/Unlimited Codes. Seems to be a Fate/Stay Night fighter in the vein of Melty Blood. Not too surprising (although Capcom's involvement might be).

And Unlimited Codes is a funny name. I'm guessing it means something Engrishy in that Type-Moon style.

[Tormenk]

Wow. Looks great overall. Anyone has a copy of this game yet? :confused:

[MarcusG]

Heres a video of Berserker destroying that other chick. For people who want to see how the game plays.

fatal/fake??

Is this some third party game?

[iamandragon]

How come Berserker's not using just defense in that Fatal/Fake video?

[EmagEvil]

Bah no! Fatal Fake is a doujin game while Fate/Unlimited Codes is a real arcade game! There's a huge difference! Here's a link of video :

http://youtube.com/watch?v=HmF3CRcMQXk&feature=related

[Clarste]

Fatal/Fake is a completely different game made by different people (it's a doujin game, so it's not Type-Moon approved, if that matters to you). Just so no one's confused. There are some Unlimited Codes videos floating around on youtube. It's not out yet, but there've been some open demonstration type things where people could come in and play the beta. And record little movies of people playing the beta.

Edit: I type too slowly.

[iamandragon]

Fatal/Fake still looks better despite being a doujin made game...

[DarkCntry]

Fatal/Fake still looks better despite being a doujin made game...

They basically look and play the exact same, with a few minor changes between the two visually, they are for all intents and purposes the same game, just one is a licensed and one is a doujin.

Of course, F/F was created well before Capcom got their mits on it, but it is nice to see a licensed version out there drawing crowds.

[iamandragon]

Capcom! No wonder I don't like it. I pose a grudge against their art style...

[MarcusG]

Capcom! No wonder I don't like it. I pose a grudge against their art style...

Even the art on Street Fighter 3

[iamandragon]

Even the art on Street Fighter 3

The grudge was from Street Fighter 2--but let's don't go off topic now...you can pm me if you want to take this discussion further...

Did you two even played those 2 games to compare :eyebrow: ? I know someone who played the beta test of F/UC in Japan and he can guaranty that those two are really differents :rolleyes: ! Fatal/Fake lack a lot of punch in the gameplay while F/UC is really dynamic :cool: !

As with all fighting games it boils down to the same formula...Fatal/Fake would be the original Tekken and unlimited codes would be Tekken 4, if you want to take analogies.

There's nothing different overall between the two other than unlimited codes has a higher production value and has an official title, hell even the move layouts are pretty much the same.

I will admit that Fake is more about juggling than unlimited codes though.

Can't find a similar thread, so here we go:

Another fighting game from Capcom, featuring Fate/Stay Night series.

This is indeed a year of fighting game. There is a rumor that it'll be ported to PS2. Hope it'll be true. Game looks really interesting.

[edit]
Sorry, I forgot to check this section first. So we already had F/UC thread...

[Topcowimagehitman21]

looks like a really good game, my only upset is they left some characters out but its' to be expected I can deal with the one's they gave us and besides I do have fatal fake.

[edf91]

looks like a really good game, my only upset is they left some characters out but its' to be expected I can deal with the one's they gave us and besides I do have fatal fake.

When do they release a patch for Fatal Fake that has Rin and Shirou? Must be because I haven't check for so long :( From my understanding, Dark Sakura would be in the game as well.

Another "nice" thing about it is that it's fully voiced, so that will certainly give us a better feel, as I know I am kind of disappointed when I use Excalibur, I don't hear Saber yell it out :(

Be sure to watch the new trailer, as it show Archer's UBW move - it is interesting in the sense that you have to separately do the chant (one line at a time) before you can use UBW...

Was hoping for a PS3 port, although PS2 is ok as well...

[shinobiknight0]

I hope they come out with a PC or PS3 port for the game. Looks pretty fun and less air juggly than Fatal Fake.

[bullrogg]

id get it for my ps2...gives me another reason for me to keep it :P


SABAAHH!!!!!

[Ray Huynh]

looks like a good game UBW is still the best :P

Ill buy it if it comes out for PS3 , 2 or PC x.x

[Blade_Lord]

SABAAHH!!!!!
Thats a name for a state in Malaysia you ________. The japanese pronounce it as Seiba.
Can't blame her she's an american after all .__.

[OceanBlue]

Actually, according to the trailer which showed all of their final attacks [UBW, Nine Lives Blades, etc.], all of them do 4000 dmg.

Be sure to watch the new trailer, as it show Archer's UBW move - it is interesting in the sense that you have to separately do the chant (one line at a time) before you can use UBW...

I personally think it would be annoying. It also takes up a lot of Magic Circuit , so I can't imagine it being very useful. It'll probably be like the Last Arcs in Melty Blood.

But an advantage to UBW is that you can use it anytime. If you noticed from the other characters, the Grail in-between their life bars is glowing [it reached full and was dimishing] for all of them [i]except for Archer.

I'm hoping they don't make Shirou suck.

[Blade_Lord]

Didn't you see the trailer?? Shirou uses the Berserker blade is good enough. Though it would be awesome if he use the
Ultimate killing move he used agains't dark saber or the nine lives shooting hundred heads which he used on Berserker....

By the term "best" I think he means that Archer UBW are cool since those sword stabbing you from every direction.

[OceanBlue]

Didn't you see the trailer?? Shirou uses the Berserker blade is good enough.

That's wrong. If Shirou sucks, then it doesn't matter how strong his ultimate is; he won't live long enough to use it.

If you noticed, after the cutscene which shows them unleashing their attacks, there was a second or part of a second where you could defend against their Noble Phantasm before it activated [It's most obvious with Berserker.]. That's why all of the characters comboed into their NPs; if they just used it straight up, the enemy would have blocked [I'm assuming that the ultimates are blockable.]. They comboed so the enemy would still be stunned from the last hit, and unleashed so it would hit. If Shirou had horrible delay with each of his attacks or if the hitstun on his attacks didn't last long enough, I could just defend against his ultimate.

Watching location tests, there isn't a lot of focus on their ultimates anyways.

Edit: I tried to find a video of a location test on YouTube, but they took them down.

[Blade_Lord]

That's wrong. If Shirou sucks, then it doesn't matter how strong his ultimate is; he won't live long enough to use it.
That's true but even a rubbish character can topple god-mode character if you know how...

[OceanBlue]

That's true but even a rubbish character can topple god-mode character if you know how...

What?
God-mode = Full invincibility. o__o;;
You can't beat someone who doesn't lose life. They won't lose due to time-out [Infinite combo trick anyone?] and they won't die.

I was talking about if the players were evenly matched. It doesn't matter if a pro Shirou will win against a newbie Gilgamesh, pro Shirou will still lose to pro Gilgamesh if Shirou sucks. It's ridiculous to compare characters when one is a pro and one is a newbie, since then you can make the claim that the character the newbie played is underpowered even if the character was the strongest and claim that the character the pro played was broken even if the character was one of the worst characters.

[iamandragon]

It's highly unlikely they will stick to the original settings in a FTG. Afterall, there is balancing issues out there. For one thing no one can really beat Berserker if not so(assuming Noble Phantasms requires charging up some kind of guage).

[Blade_Lord]

From the looks of the review you can't rush to him instead you got to counter his attack.

I really hope the Berserker thick hide can be cut down...It'll be ridiculous if the only way to kill Berserker is to use servant who has an A-rank Noble phantasm.....

[AAsaber]

The game is coming out in September!!

w000hoooo!! :D

Still a little time to wait though. :-(

[OceanBlue]

Blade_Lord, you know that won't happen....

I think the game releases in arcades tomorrow or something though.

[Blade_Lord]

Gah in my country only one place we know have arcades. And its about 200km from my place.

[iamandragon]

Palace? Where on earth do you live Blade_Lord?

[Blade_Lord]

Palace? Where on earth do you live Blade_Lord?
I didn't remember typing palace....

[Blade_Reaper387]

Gah in my country only one place we know have arcades. And its about 200km from my place.

Ssssssseriously... 200km... thats freaking far to me cuz my country has lots of arcades and its only about 40km by 20km (only a dot on a globe). So im gonna ask u too," WHERE ON EARTH do u live??"

Anyways...i discover unlimited codes a few days ago and i got obsessed with the trailers( it looks way cooler than fatalfake!!)

will it b coming in pc/psp as well?

[Blade_Lord]

Let's hope so because to me travelling 200km to play the game doesn't seem a fair trade.

[iamandragon]

Seems like I mis-read 'place' as 'palace'...but still...at least you have an arcade 200km away, we don't have any arcades here in London! (actually they do, they considering the latest game they have is Time Crises 3(yes, 3, 3!), I don't think F/UC will come out here...

[[GHOST]]

God! that's a very old game iamandragon. heh Lucky for me there's alot of arcade joints in my country ;) Can't wait to get my hands on it

[Village Idiot]

The greatest Archer ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbmRwDV9reA

Almost, almost pulled off UBW.

[OceanBlue]

The comments on that page basically express my opinion:
Finally, an Archer that doesn't suck!

I like how Emiya plays when you finish the UBW chant. This game needs a soundtrack release, now.

[Blade_Lord]

Aww crap why didn't he use UBW, oh well the guy that plays archer sure has some serious skill pulling a perfect on the second round. Sweet.

[Village Idiot]

So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-Zw783AhBM

Does Archer have a Grail Move?

[OceanBlue]

Probably not. I would imagine that Unlimited Blade Works is Archer's replacement. He trades off a huge Magic Circuit consumption in return for being able to use it anytime.

[Village Idiot]

Archer seems to have the most supers as well.

1) Kaladbolg II (fired in the air)
2) Hrunting (fired on the ground)
3) Rho Aius (can block other supers, apparently)
4) Unlimited Blade Works

Thats all I've seen so far.

[Blade_Lord]

Ya mean Rho Aias,anyway can you tell me which video archer use Rho Aias?

[Village Idiot]

Ya mean Rho Aias,anyway can you tell me which video archer use Rho Aias?

No video that I've seen so far, but I saw it in a magazine scan of it blocking Gae Bolg.

Said magazine scan. The picture is in the bottom left.
Thanks to typesunlol from Beast's Lair.

[Village Idiot]

Hmm from the looks of UBW, it gives Archer auto-life regen, the ability to fire swords all over the place like Gilgamesh, and any time you want, you can burn up all of your Magic Circuit for the big weapon-spam finish.

Not sure if it does anything else.

[Blade_Lord]

Speaking about Gilgamesh, I saw some video showing him swing his Enuma Elish around while others,he doesn't wield it. So how come that guy got Enuma Elish from the start?

[Village Idiot]

Like Archer, Gilgamesh got two attack forms, Enuma Elish, and Gate of Babylon.

Enuma Elish is where he attacks using only Enuma Elish, whereas Gate of Babylon is where he attacks using the various other Noble Phantasms in his vault.

Its actually possible to switch forms in mid combo and continue the chain.

[Blade_Lord]

Does Shirou have Unlimited Blade Works too?

[kramerica]

To be honest I was a little underwhelmed when I saw it, considering what you have to do to activate it. At best you can use UBW every other round, and that's if you can consistently get combos with super bars ready to go. AND there's a time limit, so you can essentially waste it if you don't combo into raining a million blades on your opponent.

Or maybe that was just because when I first saw it, it was Archer vs Kirei and his ridiculous kicks-->super :rolleyes:

(edit) This game for me has re-established Archer's GARness. I can't recall any other fighter that can change the BGM to something epic. Even his win-pose is GAR.

[OceanBlue]

I was underwhelmed when I saw it as well, if only because it did less damage than I thought it would.

I also first saw it in the kicking Kirei video, so....

[Blade_Lord]

Hmm shirou has Kanshou & Bakuya, Berserker blade and the calliburn...

[IchiKyo]

You waiting for playing Fate/Unlimited Code at home?
Now it's possible

The PS2 version is here
Pre-Order it and receive this nice Figure

[Village Idiot]

>.< I was hoping for a PS3 version so I wouldn't have to get a Japanese PS2.

[Blade_Lord]

I want a PC version.....

[AAsaber]

It's also coming out for the Playstation 3
and the Xbox 360.

It's coming out around November, just
in time for Christmas. :D

[Blade_Lord]

Hope there will be a PC version too.

[bahamut zero]

Meh, its nowhere out for pre-order yet, hopefully play-asia will make the figure avaible for us non-japanese people >__>

[Blade_Lord]

Ya know...this game is released 2 years after the series....2 whole years....why didn't they make something like this when the FSN anime is released...

[rastilin]

Probably for the same reason they didn't make the anime when the game was released. The people who fund these either have no eye for quality or just don't care.

[Taler]

Ya know...this game is released 2 years after the series....2 whole years....why didn't they make something like this when the FSN anime is released...

Lol, it probably doesn't work like that. I'm sure Capcom had other games they were developing before they could get to this one.

[Blade_Lord]

Oh I just realized they have Dark Sakura....wonder if there's any video about her.

If you guys saw video with archer wearing alternate outfit other please share with us here.

[Village Idiot]

Archer have yet ANOTHER super move, Kanshō and Bakuya Overedge. Like Shirou's, its unique in that the enemy must actually block the first hit for the full attack to take place.

[AAsaber]

Ya know...this game is released 2 years after the series....2 whole years....why didn't they make something like this when the FSN anime is released...


Yeah, probably wanted to wait to get to the
new consoles like Playstation 3 and the 360.


I don't know, but I have read some where about
the game coming out in North America before December
and coming with a "Pack" with some nice Merchandise in it.

If I can find the link again I would more to be glad to

I don't see any video that show this...can you give or p.m me the link to this video??

[Blade_Lord]

Who is Luviagelita? I first saw her in a video against caster.

[IchiKyo]

I think Luviagelita Ruvia is Rin's Rival. Not an important character but she had a more deeper role in a Manga.

[fict_ticious]

Great Scott, I want that figurine.

I don't see any video that show this...can you give or p.m me the link to this video??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUa0fBM5AUY

Its near the end of the Archer VS Rider fight. Unfortunately it didn't work because Rider took the hit and didn't block it.

Here's a pretty good match of Archer VS Berserker. Berserker's Grail Move, as well as Unlimited Blade Works.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPUKzLjtVps

[Blade_Lord]

But how do you know if she blocked it Archer will use Kanshou Bakuya overedge...unless you can read japanese and read it from japanese website.

[OceanBlue]

It works the same way as Shirou's Kansho and Bakuya, right? I've also heard about the blocking thing, except in regards to Shirou. I didn't realize that Archer had it [Although it should have been obvious.].

[Blade_Lord]

So theres a video showing shirou using Kanshou Bakuya overedge?

BTW I thought it should be different considering how shirou and archer using Kanshou and Bakuya differently.

[Blade_Lord]

For those of you who yet to see Shirou's Kanshou Bakuya Overedge here it is.

Luvia's mentioned to not be unlockable (most definitely unlockable in the PS2 version though).

Nope, but I'll keep on searching.

[Giggi]

So... let me get this straight... this game will actually come to PS2 on 12/18/2008 ?

I read it here:
http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/093/93402/

but I wanna be sure.

Pretty much, yes.

Archer strikes again!!! He block Saber's excallibur with Rho Aias?!

Well he can trace almost any noble phantasm.

It's against a computer, but he uses a lot of specials in this. Thanks, yokushi from Beast's Lair, for finding it.

Well, Archer have two routes to take, use up all your Magic Circuits to unlock UBW (which at best, will be available at the very end of the 2nd round), or use it for other supers.

Archer's combo into Kaladbolg is pretty damn strong, capable of doing an entire HP bar's worth of dmg.

On a side note, here's a vid of Rider doing her Bellerophon Grail Move.

I can't either. There are guides if you Google, and there's a thread in the General Chat of A.Suki if you need help.

I guess I'm going to pre-order this game.

[Blade_Lord]

I dont really get Shirou's special....does his last attack cause the opponent to blow up??

[OceanBlue]

... What?
Do you mean his special on Kirei? Or his Nine Lives Blade Works?

[Blade_Lord]

His kanshou bakuya super.....anyway I uploaded the file in youtube for those of you who can't read japanese......

[AAsaber]

Omg.

Shirou kicked her butt!


And who is Luvia? And what does she have
to do with Fate, I never seen or heard of her
before.

[Blade_Lord]

That is because Luvia appears in Fate Holow ataxaria.

[OceanBlue]

If I read correctly Seasons of Change entry at July 23, Luvia will be playable in arcades at August 25.

[Blade_Lord]

Can someone tell me if the grail affects anything in the game?

Sometimes a command seal appear near the bar below. What is the use of the command seal?

[Village Idiot]

Can someone tell me if the grail affects anything in the game?

Sometimes a command seal appear near the bar below. What is the use of the command seal?

The Grail fills up as players take damage, and once its filled, you can use a Grail Move (check one of the early PVs that showcases them all) that pretty much does a full bar of damage. Afterwords, the Grail is drained and another Grail Move cannot be used for the rest of the round.

Everyone but Archer seems to have one, but I'm not sure if either player can use a Grail Move at any time or there's a requirement.

The command seal appearing just tells the player that a level of super is now available.

[Ryu-kun]

Is archer only able to use UBW as his special or theirs more?

[Blade_Lord]

There's more
Hrunting(arrow which comes back at you 2 times if you dodge or block it)
Rho Aias- Defensive super
Caladbolg-Flashy super
Kanshou Bakuya Overedge- Badass super.
If youg guys havent seen archer used Kanshou Bakuya Overedge super then here's the link.

About the Overedge super: its actually more powerful than I though. Damage caused seems to be the same as Caladbolg (without being connected to a combo). I'm kind of lost about the amount of hits. Character Material says that Archer's use of Overedge is of "two pairs of Kanshou and Bakuya striking one a connecting style (one from the front and one from behind) followed by "X" shaped slash of an Overedge pair", but the movie shows a total of 5 hits. Are the "connected" slashs counted separatedly? By the way, Shiro's Kanshou and Bakuya super is called Crane Wing Three Ream (鶴翼三連). Does Archer's move has the same name?

Speaking of Shiro, just discovered that he is one of the few characters with TWO Grail Moves. One is the Nine Lives Blade Works while the other is the attack with Azoth sword. The latter is activated instead of Nine Lives when you fight against Kotomine.

Here is a video. You see it around 2:25.:cool:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNwjfkpluYY

Funny thing is that Shiro seems to be shouting "chesto" when he hits the Azoth.:heh:

[OceanBlue]

Saber has something like that too, I think.

I'm stating the obvious now, but Lancer is broken.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4402811
Around 7600 damage? And godly range? The only thing he doesn't have is projectiles, and he apparently approaches well enough to avoid that.

[kramerica]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d26qgcH8Bdk
Well, here's Luvia. Holy crap and chain grabbing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bRZWXqtchs
Grail super OOOHOHOHOHOHO

[OceanBlue]

One of Luvia's air attacks reminds me of King Dedede.
Wow, this game has some balance issues to fix with the console release.

[Blade_Lord]

I heard that Bazette and Dark saber gonna make their debut too. Speaking about Saber, is Lily Saber going to be in this game? Or is she just a mascot or something.

[Silmeria]

Anyone else going to be getting the LE with the figure? Yes its pricey but I want Saber. >_<

[Ryu-kun]

Anyone else going to be getting the LE with the figure? Yes its pricey but I want Saber. >_<

Preordered the moment I saw it and a lily saber in the game would be so nice reminds me of Lion saber.

[OceanBlue]

Yeah, I heard about the Dark Saber + Bazette thing too. I think Saber Lily is just going to be an alternate costume though.

Wow, watching all of these matches on Nicovideo [I'm catching up.], either Shirou is stronger than I thought, or the person/people he's against isn't/aren't that good.

Thank Yokushi from Beast Lair for this pictures.

[Wesley84]

What is Lily Saber?

[OceanBlue]

An alternate costume for Saber and a figurine that comes with the game if you preorder it.

[Blade_Lord]

I heard only 50,000 copies are produced. A limited edition, eh?

[faiz blaster]

Archer vs Saber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuNMyWaNzZI)

At the end of this video, Saber uses her Grail Move to defeat Archer. Just prior to the activation, when the player gave the command to "release" the Magic Circuit, the BGM suddenly changed. Does anyone recognize which music is it?

[OceanBlue]

It's Excalibur from the Fate/Hollow Ataraxia soundtrack.

[Blade_Lord]

New trailer. Dark/Alter Saber is in it.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/gallery_mv_cs.html

[Deadwings]

Nice trailer. Were Bazett and Dark Saber selectable in the arcade or they'll be only in the PS2 (was PS2, wasn't it?) version?
Also, it seems like it's possible or is it just my impression that both fighters can use their noble phantasms at the same time? At the end, Lancer uses Gae Bolg and Bazett uses Fragarach, and... they don't show what happens but seems interesting :p

[Lumine]

Gae Bolg and Fragaratch are unavoidable, They killed each other.

[Deadwings]

Yeah. But my point was if, in the game, it was possible to simultaneously use both noble phantasms. From what I've seen so far in youtube, noble phantasms (and probably many special attacks) attack animation give little chance, if not any at all, to counter them. I guess you'll have to be REALLY fast to activate your noble phantasm before been hit by Excalibur or any other.

[Blade_Lord]

Nah, you just have to activate your noble phantasm during your opponent animation. Check a few pages before this and there's a video where Archer was charging at Saber, then she uses Excallibur, and then suddenly Archer pull out a Rho Aias to protect him.

[Blade_Lord]

Sorry for the double post but this pic should worth it.
http://gemaga.sbcr.jp/image/081010131701.jpg

[OceanBlue]

Lol, Gilgamesh.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4878110

Almost infinites? One at 0:47 [102 hit combo], which Shirou has to combo break out of, and another at 3:08, which he finishes with his GoB special for almost 7k damage [106 hits].

[Blade_Lord]

There's a vid showing Archer ending his combo with UBW, 10k damage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvcoxck_c90

[OceanBlue]

But that's a Grail move. I saw a Saber one with her ending a combo with Excalibur.
Edit: I checked the video. It was only a 6.4k combo. Excalibur remix is awesome though.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4878669

Luvia, 8k-9k damage looping combo. It was hard to read, since it was Youtube quality. I think there was a 9k+ combo as well, where she ended with her Gandr special .
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4927664

I [I]really hope these are fixed for the PS2 release.

[Blade_Lord]

Hm? And I thought someone here mentioned that UBW is not a grail move.

[OceanBlue]

Well, I just used "Grail move" as a term for his ultimate attack. Archer doesn't have a Grail move, but UBW is his ultimate. It does 4000 damage, like all the other characters' Grail moves.

Edit: Another one? Rin this time, and it's a 96-hit combo.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4928280

Even seeing this, I still think Rin and Shirou work too hard to get a good amount of damage, even though Shirou works harder.

[Blade_Lord]

Well you should say ultimate move so that people won't be confused, I wish they make Archer can trace Excallibur.

[zero001]

Archer using Unlimited Blade Works is cool and how the bgm changes to an Emiya Remix, so far all the videos I've seen with a good Archer, its more worth it not to use Unlimited Blade Works and just use Caladbolg II instead.

[Blade_Lord]

But then again caladbolg 2 is blockable and avoidable. You have to use combo on them before using Caladbolg 2. While UBW finishing move can be done whenever you activate UBW.

[OceanBlue]

And what makes you think UBW isn't blockable? As far as I've seen, I've never seen someone use an ultimate move without comboing into it first, so I'm not going to say it's blockable, but I'm not going to say it's unblockable.

What UBW is good for is metagames and the extra attacks, since, as far as I remember, having UBW available allows Archer to sword rain like Gilgamesh and having the extra damage option is almost nice too. Plus, if you have the extra bars, it'd be a waste to save them. Instead, use Caladbolg 2 and UBW, since the combos I've seen with Caladbolg 2 usually use that as a combo finisher.

Does Archer have any other specials than Rho Aias, Overedge, Caladbolg 2, and UBW? Since I just realized that he might be at a disadvantage to other characters who can combo into specials and continue the combo afterwards. Right, Lancer?

[Blade_Lord]

Right then tell me which character has successfully block Archer's finishing move in UBW where about 60 swords rain down on his opponent.

Archer does have Hrunting, which comes back for two times.Right, Archer?

And to stop combos you need enough mana for combo breaker and you need to do it at the right time so that you won't waste the whole mana for being free only for a second before being combo by the enemy again.

[zero001]

I've never seen any1 combo into Overedge yet, while at the same time I've never seen anyone block an UBW finisher either. I'm sure UBW finisher move can be blocked but I haven't seen any videos where it has been blocked.

But so far, UBW is good for metagames just as OceanBlue has mentioned and the sword rain in UBW does some pretty good chipping damage. But it's quicker and easier to defeat your opponents faster with using your Mana for Caladbolg 2 combos, instead of chanting the UBW spell to activate UBW itself.

[Blade_Lord]

Yeah but we aim for damage here. The more points your enemy lost the more defensive the opponent is. And if the opponent is the jump type defensive then use Hrunting, and if the opponent blocks a lot, Kanshou and bakuya overedge.

[Deadwings]

... other characters who can combo into specials and continue the combo afterwards. Right, Lancer?

Can I ask for a good video of lancer continuing his combo? So far every video I found were only suckers trying to use lancer and losing like dogs, and I really want to see a good lancer user. Thanks in advance. (youtube if possible, nicovideo is definitely no for me)

Read my post again.
As far as I've seen, I've never seen someone use an ultimate move without comboing into it first, so I'm not going to say it's blockable, but I'm not going to say it's unblockable.
But how many people have you seen use UBW without going into a combo?

Also, I don't see what your point is about the 60 swords, since those 60 swords only hit after the initial three that start the attack hit.

It only comes back twice if it's blocked, right?

I've never seen any1 combo into Overedge yet, while at the same time I've never seen anyone block an UBW finisher either. I'm sure UBW finisher move can be blocked but I haven't seen any videos where it has been blocked.

But so far, UBW is good for metagames just as OceanBlue has mentioned and the sword rain in UBW does some pretty good chipping damage. But it's quicker and easier to defeat your opponents faster with using your Mana for Caladbolg 2 combos, instead of chanting the UBW spell to activate UBW itself.

There's no point in comboing into Overedge, unless they're blocking your combo, since Overedge only does maximum damage on guarding opponents.

Can I ask for a good video of lancer continuing his combo? So far every video I found were only suckers trying to use lancer and losing like dogs, and I really want to see a good lancer user. Thanks in advance. (youtube if possible, nicovideo is definitely no for me)

Sorry, but I'll only remember Nicovideo. I don't use Youtube anymore. But you can combo the throwing Gae Bolg into more attacks while they're still in hitstun or bouncing.

[Blade_Lord]

It only comes back twice if it's blocked, right?
Naturally.

But how many people have you seen use UBW without going into a combo?

Sorry, but I'll only remember Nicovideo. I don't use Youtube anymore. But you can combo the throwing Gae Bolg into more attacks while they're still in hitstun or bouncing.

You should really watch youtube then. There's the high quality option on the bottom of the video for you to click to change the quality. And yeah most grail move are unblockable. That's why you need to fill the grail first before your opponent.

On a side note there's a new trailer.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/gallery_mv_cs.html

Click the one that has UP on it.

[OceanBlue]

And yeah most grail move are unblockable. That's why you need to fill the grail first before your opponent.

That doesn't really make sense. You need to fill the grail => Grail moves are unblockable?
I figured they made those ultimate moves and required you to fill the grail because the grail moves do 4000 damage, which is almost one life bar.

If they were unblockable, they'd be used the instant they were able to be used. I haven't seen people use them instantly [or a lot], unless it was in a combo, so....

[Blade_Lord]

Then what's the point of filling them up? For maximum damage? They've got infinite combo in the game for each character to do that.

You ask why not use it instantly? I don't think it's like press L1+R1 and then the holy grail move is activated. Might be a long and tricky command. And if I were the opponet facing someone who has filled the grail I'll definitely close in and spam my attack before he/she activated it so that it will be reduced to 99% and I will fill it myself.

Then again it's my thought. If you have seen a video where someone sucessfully block a grail move and link it to me I appreciate it.

Do you actually think the game creators intended the infinite combos to be in the game? I doubt that the game creators even imagined that it would reach 7000, but that's just me.
Why do you think Grail moves are so rare to see? People have more effective ways of playing.

If the input was long and tricky, it wouldn't make sense that the people in the F/UC trailer [The one that showed off all of their Grail moves and UBW.] were able to combo into it, since there would have to be a significant pause between attacks.

I already said that I haven't seen anyone block it. This is all just reasons why it might not be unblockable.

[Blade_Lord]

Why do you think Grail moves are so rare to see? People have more effective ways of playing.
Everyone has their own style if playing and that includes you and me. What is effective to you may not be effective to me and vice versa. Also don't you see that against opponent character who has filled the grail, the player seems more desperate?

Those who show off in F/UC trailer are probably professionals. We have not got our hands on the PS2 version so it's useless to speculate about that.

[OceanBlue]

That could also be because the player heals life when he's able to use his Grail move until his Magic Circuits are gone. He doesn't heal when he's getting hit by a combo, but he heals when he's sitting there or guarding.
I don't have my own style of playing, since I don't play the game. :D

Those who show off in F/UC trailer are probably professionals. We have not got our hands on the PS2 version so it's useless to speculate about that.
I personally don't think there's that big of a difference between professionals and people like, say, Kubo. It's not like there's a huge difference in skill and the people who are playing F/UC haven't ever played a fighting game before; some of them are tournament players in other fighting games, like Melty Blood. The system is different, but they can get used to it after a while, and it has been a while.

[Giggi]

Any chance to see this game oversea? At least in the USA?
I'm gonna import it, but I still would like to know..

[Blade_Lord]

If they gonna sell it another country I hope it reach here. It's CAPCOM so there's a high chance that it will be exported to another country.

[moli_malone]

any news about the single of saichi tanaka? thanks

[Blade_Lord]

You mean Sachi Tainaka? Hold on I know that she's famous for fate/Stay Night opening and also the Fate/Unlimited Codes trailer but if your asking about her discography or album this isn't the right place.

[Giggi]

Her new single, featuring the song that is in the trailer of Unlimited Codes, is supposed to come out sooner or later :/ don't know when..

[moli_malone]

yes, the single code, i refeer ir, tomorrow sure, hehehe.

[shinobiknight0]

I'll need to get a modded Ps2 or a Japanese one to play this right? I haven't seen a PS2 in a while(I broke mine 4 years ago and never bothered to get a new one).

[OceanBlue]

Her new single, featuring the song that is in the trailer of Unlimited Codes, is supposed to come out sooner or later :/ don't know when..

It's out already.

[Comartemis]

So... are there any indications of who or what Saber Lily is besides a recolored Saber?

[OceanBlue]

So... are there any indications of who or what Saber Lily is besides a recolored Saber?

As far as I know, it's basically just an alternate costume for Saber, and when you use the Saber Lily costume, it shows up as "Saber Lily" on the screen while you're playing instead of "Saber".

[Blade_Lord]

Yeah...but why bother? I mean it's not like her skill is any different from Saber.

[Keroko]

Because it's cute? I mean, there is Saber, Dark Saber, and now Saber lily.

[OceanBlue]

Yeah...but why bother? I mean it's not like her skill is any different from Saber.

It's probably to tie in their limited edition extra with the game to make it [Both the game and Saber Lily, which again ties in to the game.] more appealing to the fans. So probably marketing.

Is this a 14k damage combo from Luvia I see here?
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5050315

Edit: So I don't have to double-post, here's a Shirou Combo video [Yes!]. I've never actually seen him do 7k damage combos before [Usually, they're 4k, so...], so I found it interesting.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5061227
It uses code, by Tainaka Sachi, as its background music [For good or bad. I muted it.], so those of you who haven't heard the PS2 game theme can hear it here too.

[zero001]

Well it appears that Leysritt is confirmed with her appearing on the main site.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/cs_charactor.html#3

And it seems that more character slots can be added their. I'm still waiting for a True Assassin confirmation, perhaps it will be revealed in Type-Moon CompAce Vol.2?

[bahamut zero]

Yay, boxart ^_^

[Akinori]

Pretty :)
It's probably impossible for this game to be released in Europe... I think I just have to pray for a PC or 360 version (just have to sell my PS3 for a 360 >_>).

BTW, Saber Lily is just a figurine or does she appear in one of the games?

[OceanBlue]

Saber Lily is an alternate costume for Saber. Aside from that, she doesn't appear anywhere else.

Haha, I don't expect either the US or Europe to have it released. After all, Fate/stay night hasn't been released in either regions either.

[Akinori]

I don't think it will be too. But I also don't think that it can be compared to Fate/Stay Night. Europeans and Americans prefer a fighting game to a "reading game" "^^

And if F/S N was released in France: "Oh! An ero-ero game released by the japanese! Video games are bad :P!". Well, even Realta nua would never be released, so -___-...

I really like the Saber Lily outfit :)

[Blade_Lord]

December 18.

Actually, it has been out in arcades for a while now. It's being released for the PS2 on December 18.

[Aya_Lyka]

oh, i thought there was a PC version. is this like Tekken? 3D fighting game?

[OceanBlue]

oh, i thought there was a PC version. is this like Tekken? 3D fighting game?

Yeah, it's a 3D fighting game. I'm not familiar with Tekken, though, so I couldn't tell you if they're similar. Is Tekken combo-oriented, or is it more like Soul Calibur? In a sense, F/UC is more similar to a lot of 2D games I've seen regarding its combos, although it's 3D.

[Tormenk]

Are there any videos for Lancer's grail move? Not sure which videos on youtube has one of those given the vast number.

[OceanBlue]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT6JH6MQmKQ

Has a majority of the characters' grail moves. It doesn't have Luvia's or the new PS2 characters', Bazette and Dark Saber [Saber Alter], grail moves, although Bazette's and Dark Saber's grail moves are in another trailer.

[ClockWorkAngel]

Oh god Gilgamesh's Grail move is just plain awesome, I swear Gate of Babylon is simply a feast for the eyes.

[OceanBlue]

Lol, Fate/Zero Lancer anyone?

???? Fate/Zero? :twitch::eyespin::eyespin:

I'm trying to find a way to say that you're kiding, but I can't see how can it be a fake :P

OMFG! I wonder, how many Zero characters are included. I want to see Zero Berseker! :D

[P.G.]

Now that's great~! Now I can't wait for my package to be delivered. uwaah~

[OceanBlue]

I want Zero Berserker and Zero Rider now. Include them in the PC port please!

Oh, True Assassin can be there too, I guess. Isn't it sad, True Assassin?

op~?

hey, i already play this game, and yes, this is the opening, for those of you want the torrent pm me
EDIT
if anyone know how reach new characters, say it plz

[P.G.]

anyone have their game yet~?

my god I was a total noob again at new fighting games. I mean I was spamming at the ps2 controller, on what move to do lol. I was able to pull of saber,lancer,archer,assassin's grail moves... (L2+236+236+circle) and still need to practice gil's grail move too... >.<

hope someone'll do a translation guide for F/UC since i'm not very good w/ kanji ^^;;

[skep]

grial moves are easy to do, i dont know how to get new characters, and i dont know how complete de misions

[P.G.]

nvm, I just practice till I get the combos, and yeah I get to do some huge combos now.
still having problems w/ the mission. anyone would like to help making a guide or translation for Mission mode~?

[skep]

i think the new characters will be in mission mode

[Nerroth]

I like how Diarmuid's seiyuu is the same as that for Clannad's Yoshino-san!

[DmonHiro]

You get new characters when you finish Arcade mode more times. I belive it's 3 times for Leysritt. 5 times and you get Alter Saber. After you get these two characters, play arcade mode again, and you eventually be attacked by Zero Lancer. Defeat him, finish that arcade mode, and you get him. He is A BITCH to beat at first, since he has Lancer's range and Archer's combo style. His voice is awesome, and fits the charater to a T.

The grail moves actually change in some situaltion. Shiro's EX (grail) move is an attack with a traced Berseker sword, but agains Kotomine, he will atack with Asroth,just like in the game/anime. Gil's EX move is Gates Of Babylon, but against Berserker, he will finish with Enuma Elishi instead of with the Gates Of Babylon.

[skep]

and saber lily?

[DmonHiro]

...what about her?

[skep]

how get it?

[P.G.]

beat Saber Alter's arcade mode to get Saber Lily as an alternate costume for saber.

lol we need OST for this game.

[skep]

and the option "???" whats is and how to unloked?

[DummyInc]

tainaka sachi - code

[kramerica]

beat Saber Alter's arcade mode to get Saber Lily as an alternate costume for saber.

lol we need OST for this game.

There's an audio rip of the OST on youtube :)

[Paladinoras]

What the hell is an EX attack?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/code/950973.html

That is everything you can unlock in F/UC.

I absolutely suck at this game, I don't understand how to chain combos.

The only characters I do not suck with is . . . Assasin and Archer.

Unlimited Blade Works is inhuman, the only problem is getting that far. . .

[P.G.]

What the hell is an EX attack?
Thats your grail move, right~?


great~ there's already some info at gamefaqs....
Anyway still playing the game and doing missions. lol whats w/ kirei & assasins Combination 3~? o_O ~I can't get it done lol
And we held matches here in our place just like we did in Melty Blood.

[Sciel]

Alter Saber is IMO the most broken character in the game . Ridiculous damage for some of her combos and a lot of her moves have no openings to attack against.

[Hyperion]

You know what saddens me? The SP box of this game is now $130 USD! I soo wanted that Saber Lily figure, but $130? Sheesh.

[Lelouch*Vi*Britannia]

Alter Saber is IMO the most broken character in the game . Ridiculous damage for some of her combos and a lot of her moves have no openings to attack against.

I've known worse... Gigamesh after you enter the mode where you can use Gate of Babyon, press down + strong attack repeatedly, that move is so cheap...

EDIT: only if you get the opponent into a never ending combo, then it's cheap, after like 4-5 uses of that, it becomes worthless and easy to dodge...

[Nerroth]

Looks like there's gonna be a PSP version (http://nrvnqsr.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1501&page=69#262658), too!

OMG I WANT TO GET THAT NAO!!! :eyespin:

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

I was thinking of getting this on the PS2, but now with there being a PSP version I'll probably end up getting that. Besides I need more fighting games on my PSP besides just Tekken.

[Shiroth]

Just to let people know, the PSP version will include F/HA characters and costumes.

I hope casual Lancer comes with his fishing rod.

[Nosauz]

played it on aracade in akihabara recently, FUNNNNNNNNN, lol

heaps faster than fatal fake, i couldnt pull most of the combos off though

[P.G.]

may God bless the Holy grail. finally, I was hoping for a portable release of FU/C and the grail grant it lol. and I was playing FU/C on ps2 awhile ago~

anyone did a 100% mission mode~? I'm only at less/more than 30% thou.
when I was playing w/ the ahx files of the game last month, & discovered shirou was chanting his version of bmw~ so just wondering if he'll say it on mission mode or so~

All the grail and special moves in one amazing video.
The only one left out by my count is when Gilgamesh uses Enkidu and finishes with Enuma Elish instead of Gate of Babylon.
Also I think some Rider moves got left out.

A nice video of Bazette Fragranch'n Caster, some nice shots of Fragranch vs. Gae Bolg, and Gilgamesh finishing off Lancer with Enkidu and Enuma Elish.

What's the name of the song that plays in this trailer?

Not bad (http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/04/28/captivate_09_fateunlimited_codes)... but I'd want a UMD release.

[patnam]

The PSP version has just released in Japan, can't wait to get it and play...!!!

[Shadow Kira01]

For the PS2 version...

I have beat the arcade mode a total of 23 times, most likely have unlocked everything..

I couldn't beat the survival mode with 32 wins, instead I have only managed to get 7 continuous wins using Archer. Gilgamesh killed me.. On my previous attempt, I used Emiya Shiro and got unlucky as that Berserker appeared on the 5th battle and it resulted with a game over screen. I wonder how people managed to score more than 32 wins.. That must be difficult!

Still working on the Mission Mode which is very time-consuming as that I am not good at building combos and chain attacks. Winning a battle is easy but to win using specific combos and moves is just too difficult.. :(

[Nerroth]

In North America, the PSP version will be on the PlayStation Store on the 3rd of September (http://psp.ign.com/articles/101/1017967p1.html).


EDIT: It's up now. It takes up 519MB, by the way.


EDIT 2: Where is the interest in this release?

I got as far as unlocking Zero Lancer, so far.


The in-game dialogue boxes are translated, but there are no subtitles for things like encounter dialogue (a la Dissidia) - which is a bit of a shame.


Interestingly, one of the non-Japanese characters, Sella, is translated as 'Sarah', but the other gaijin seem to have their names unchanged, so far as I can tell.


It's really neat to note the various character-specific dialogue - not least when it comes to the reactions that Zero Lancer gives to certain others... and what a range of characters give to him!

(I'm not sure Luvia has quite the right idea about what kind of guy Diarmuid is, though.)


In terms of the arcade mode, I did Rider's mission first, and went through most of the 'good' characters first - although I have to say that after going through Gil's mission (which I had left near the end) I was more than glad to go through Saber's route again (as Saber Lily) and kick his smarmy face in!


Shame Zero Lancer didn't have a true story mode, though. (You can play as him in the arcade mode, but has no actual story to it.)


Also, some of the alternate costumes are really cool! Those for Assassin, Zero Lancer, Leysritt and others really ought to have some more art for them.


I guess I might have been kind of spoiled by getting Dissidia last week, but I really wish that there was a Fate game that played like that - but Unlimited Codes is still fun.


It will be interesting to see what those as yet unfamilair with the Nasuverse will make of it all, though.


Oh, and one other thing - the autosave option is not on initially, so if you want to activate it, be sure to go into the option menu and put it on!


(And one other, other thing - it's kind of sad how there is more about two of Ireland's most prominent mythological heroes in this game than there is in much of modern-day Irish popular culture...)

[Nerroth]

I feel like I've hit a wall. (In the Western PSP version, that is.)


I can't unlock the EX missions for Gil, Bazett, Zero Lancer or Luvia.

With Zero Lancer, I can't land a 20-hit combo (Hit Combo 1). With Bazett, I keep not having the first two shots of Fragarach deflected (Skill 2). With Luvia, I can't get Spangle Necklace right (Skill 2). And for Gil, I keep messing up the follow-up moves for Uta-Napthism (Skill 1).


It's things like this that sap my enthusiasm for a game. Even if I want to get all of the EX missions done, I can't get past the fact that I'm really not much good at tapping in combos in this sort of game...

[Kimiko Khan]

there might be a guide for the psp version somwhere, but i have the ps2 one so i can't help ya. though you're lucky gils grail was simplified for the psp took me forever to do it on the ps2

[Nerroth]

Well, I found out you can unlock the EX missions for each character if you run through their Arcade modes 3 times, so I have them all unlocked and completed by now.

(Which included Assassin's, too - I kinda forgot that I hadn't unlocked his, either. Sorry, Sasaki-san!)

Actually, I went back and managed to get Spangle Necklace done, but the others in the above list are still beyond me.

[kaname08]

With regards to the characters in the PSP version...I just bought it recently on the PSN. There are certain characters that can be a bit annoying in the game. For me...it would have to be Berserker and Gligamesh.

However, when comparing the EX attacks of all characters...there are certain ones that kinda creep me out in terms of the amount of damage.

Which ones do you guys think hurt the most?

[Polar_Lord]

If I remember correctly, Gilgamesh's Holy Grail burst does the most damage since it's the hardest to imput. Similarly, Archer's UBW does more than most Grail bursts because of the difficult execution.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong heh.

[Cyz]

Is this only downloadable as a PSP game or it can be played on PS3?

PSP, fun game though.

I find UBW the hardest to pull off cuz I kill enemies too quickly. So I have to extend the rounds and up the difficulty. Not only you need to do all 6 Arias (luckily they're transferable to each round) but you need also max Special bar and full Holy Grail bar on your side. But it's worth to show off.

[Broken_Fate]

UBW is way too hard to pull off. Up difficulty and rounds to 3 wins and you're set.

[Flinch]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was Uta-Napthism who wrote Enuma Elish, either that or the one who told Gilgamesh where to get the herb.

For those of you who don't know, Ea was the Summerian god of wisdom, Enkindu was Gilgamesh's best and only friend (who was killed because of a series of events stemming from Gil refusing to wed the goddess of prostitution, Ishtar I think her name was), Uta-Napthism was either the head god or the god of death, I forget which, and Enuma Elish was the poem that explained the creation of the universe.

The only NP that makes sense is Enkindu, btw, as it relates to how it took both Enkindu and Gilgamesh to bind down the divine bull, hence why its stronger with higher divinity.

[GDB]

...because of a series of events stemming from Gil refusing to wed the goddess of prostitution, Ishtar I think her name was

I believe the proper term is "Goddess of Fertility" or "Goddess of Love". After all, you wouldn't call Venus or Aphrodite a prostitute, do you? :p

[Arbitres]

No. It was actually stated in The Epic Saga that Ishtar's temple had prostitutes as part of their devotion to her. She was also a goddess of war as well, methinks.

Je.

The only NP that makes sense is Enkindu, btw, as it relates to how it took both Enkindu and Gilgamesh to bind down the divine bull, hence why its stronger with higher divinity.

It took both of them, yes. When they killed it and Ishtar appeared, Gilgamesh refused, since he'd basically be a plaything for her in the end. Then... Enkidu ripped off a tendon/hip of the Bull of Heaven and threw it at Ishtar.

Ishtar got bitchy, decided to make Enkidu sick, Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh fears for his mortality and goes to look for the herb.

Disjointed, but that's from what I remember. D: lol

[Flinch]

Only the Sumerians would have a goddess of prostitution. Rather funny, but kinda sad.


One other thing I noticed. Saber Alter has the ability to use an NP called Vortigern. Vortigern was a Saxon ally who wanted to sacrifice Merlin so he could build his castle... and got destroyed by Uther Pendragon (Arthur's father for those of you who don't know). Arthur never met him, yet the only connection is that Vortigern and Saber Alter both had the image of an usurper.

Also, Avalon. The scabbard was called The Scabbard of Excalibur, not Avalon. Avalon was the land of the faeries, where both the sword and the scabbard were made. Avalon, however, was a utopia, though Mordred was conceived there...
For those of you who don't know, it was Morganna (Morgan le Fay) who had a large hand in making the scabbard for her brother, and also getting rid of it when he refused to return it after defying the people of Avalon.

Kinda fun to pick the NPs apart

[DragoZERO]

So, how good is this game on the PSP, really? Are the controls tricky on the handheld at all?

[grylsyjaeger]

Yeah I'd like to know too. I have F/UC for PS2 but alas, no Japanese PS2 to play and I'd like to play it on PSP if it's playable.

[C.A.]

They've made the controls 'simpler' on PSP, but it feels really weird if you're a regular fighting gamer.

You also can't do the biggest combos anymore.

The PSP version is designed for FS/N visual novel fans and people who are not regular fighting gamers.

The PSP version is designed for FS/N visual novel fans and people who are not regular fighting gamers.That describes me but I like a good fighter game. But then again, it may be like the Gundam games and seeing the characters and all fighting may make up for the poor gameplay.

[Yasanagi]

Sorry for thread resurrection but is there a compiled list of all the story endings in the F/UC game? I only have some info from the TV Tropes FSN character page.

[Sovran]

Anyone knows how to remove panels in-game on PS2 version? Or what files are responsible for them?

True enough...
I managed to finish the entire F/UC...even the missions. I wanted all those biggest combos from the PS2, but sadly, I don't have a PS2 anymore >.<

The developers have removed a lot of things from the original game in the PSP version I think?

[Rag]

Don't have a PSP (I'm a DS user), but since this TYPE-MOON I must ask if getting this game is worth buying a new system.

At this time of writing, Fate/Unlimited Codes is not among the sub-set of PSP games on the PlayStation Store which have already been added to the store interface for the PlayStation Vita; in other words, you can't yet download the game from the Store into a Vita directly. However, according to various sources (such as this one (http://www.ign.com/wikis/ps-vita/PSP_Games_on_the_Vita)), you can use a PS3 as a workaround in order to get games from the PSP back catalogue onto your Vita without having to wait for Sony to add them to the direct-download list.

So, is there anyone here with a PS3, a Vita, and a downloadable copy of Fate/Unlimited Codes; and if so, would you be willing to try and see if the workaround, well, works for this game?


(Bear in mind that the Vita has various options for modifying PSP titles played on it, as noted in the online Users' Guide (http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/game/game_psp.html).)

[DragoZERO]

Read a few reviews that said the fighting in this game was good. So, I am going to get it this summer. How much is it? Need to buy a PSN card. No way I'm giving them my credit card, lol.

[Humbaba]

How exactly do you unlock Zero Lancer? I read some time ago about it (think you have to beat the first five enemies or so with special attacks) but I never got to see him so far. Maybe I am just stupid. I think I will re-try it these days again.

And yes @DragoZERO, the game is really good and has tons of unlockable extras worth a good playing time.

If you haven't gotten this one off of the PSN already, catch it while you can (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/05/30/fateunlimited-codes-is-on-sale-being-taken-down-soon/).
