So... basically teasing. Next tweet on Wednesday.
That's likely Saten's Virtuaroid, like they said it did not appear in the novel but she has the name on her team uniform like the other three have in the color illustration. Which means Grys-vok is likely going to be piloted by Uiharu to complete the Railgun set/team. Well, Aogami being one of the pilots was a far chance, anyway.

Not quite happy with that hypothesis. Saten seems like such a waste for this game despite her popularity... Oh well.

New tweets:

The next virtuaroid revealed is: RVR-14 Fei-Yen kn: Fei-Yen the Knight.

Like before: first two tweets, lore; third tweet, comment.

>It appears in the Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-On novel as Shirai Kuroko's favourite unit.
>It was actively holding its own while supporting the Raiden piloted by Misaka Mikoto.
>There is inexhaustible interest in how her Level 4 ability will influence the unit in the game.


So... more teasing... <sigh>

Next tweet, next Wednesday.

Seriously, though: Fei Yen was already the fastest VR in the game (Especially in Hyper mode), so Kuroko teleporting would just make that VR broken AF.

Watari Juurou also made a tweet about it:

>With that in mind, which Index character should pilot it...?

So once again: ...nothing much. Two's a coincidence but three's a pattern. They'll probably just continue teasing units but keeping the details of who will pilot them for much later.

Next tweets Wednesday.

As long as Tsuchimikado is one of the new pilots I'm good.

>How will she play in the game? ... ... We're currently diligently working at the game studio!


They really are dragging this out as much as they can...

I admit I don't know that much about Virutal-On, but I hope it does good in both character representation and gameplay, I plan on buying it when it releases so I'll find out for sure then

The Index Mobile MMO is alright, there was definitely effort put into it though it still needs some work which is alright because it's currently still testing and it doesn't really have major problems. Of course it's a good thing they mostly got the anime content out of the way so they dive right into the later stuff(as they currently are)

Both -Vok variants were basically low-cost alternatives to Raiden (A high-performance, high-cost Heavy Virtuaroid). Grys-Vok is a missile boat while Stein-Vok is a walking Laser Cannon turret. The core machine is just the legs and that tiny set of front arms with a machinegun, the weaponry are all add-ons that it carries on it's shoudlers and back. My guess is we'll be seeing these guys in the hands of Skill-out charatcers.

EG disposable mook armies.

Grys-Vok? Going by the novel that one is piloted by either Uiharu or Aogami, and one doesn't have to be a genius to think that they'll likely complete the set of Railgun girls with Uiharu and Saten (likely pilot of Apharmd S). No idea on who the Raiden II's pilot could be since it didn't show up in the novel. Maybe a Sister?

Will the game even have a world where you can run into Skill-Out in the first place? Don't these arcade fighting games normally have a story mode broken up by one on one fights?

Wasn't Aogami fond of Dordray or whatever it was called? There was a -Vok piloted by one of those dark side espers that Kamijou fought against.

Anyway...

Appeared in the novel:
>In the Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-On novel, a unit based on the Cypher, called the Blue Stalker, appeared in the Index world and given a unique power-up.
>Its obvious from the previous sentence but it has overwhelming fighting power which I also expect to see play an active part in the game version.

- The arcade versions of the first Virtual On and Virtual On Oratorio Tangram worked that way. Then VO Force introduced tag battles, and the PS2 MARZ game had a story mode wherein you fight off multiple opponents. Now the problem is that some of the VRs work best against one opponent (EG powerful focused attacks)--meaning you had to select your target and attack. A good player can switch between two enemies quickly in battle. But three at once gets difficult (god damn those Rose Sisters).

So while I don't know if Skill Outs will be in this game, I wouldn't put it past them to have you encounter multiple enemies as part of a story mission.

If you've played any of the Gundam VS Gundam games, you have an idea of how that enemy select system works. Manageable if you only need to target one of two enemies but three...and you'll be frustrated because the target select goes off and picks the enemy you DON'T want to shoot at that half-second.

The GvsG games also have similarities to early Virtual On games, only with an orthodox arcade joystick and buttons (the original Virtual On required twin sticks, which I still think are more intuitive for a mech game)

Oh yeah, I don't know why I thought Aogami also had that one.

  • Since each Index character has a special ability, the idea is to choose and combine them with compatible Virtuaroids.
  • There are plenty of games where you fight in 3D spaces. I want to propose a new way of playing. It will be important to incorporate the abilities of the Index characters.
  • Nowadays there aren’t as many players who find enjoyment in one-on-one battles as there were back in the day, so we need a design suited to modern society in addition to the one-on-one battle style.
  • I want the game content to allow even users who don’t play games much to have fun.
  • I may be able to say something regarding the game’s release window at the Tokyo Game Show. Right now, I can’t say anything more than “winter 2018.”
Tokyo Game Show will be held on September 21-24, so expect the next major news update then (just a week before DB Autumn Festival...)

Point system.

....

I'm not liking the sound of that. It's starting to sound a lot more like a free to play pay to win mobile game than a proper VO game...

The one thing I can assure you is that it wasn't like what you're thinking in the novel; it shouldn't be like that in the game. Maybe the point system is triggering some alarms but think of it like boxing where at the end of every round you are given a score based on how you performed during the round. Your playstyle, damage received and damage dealt will determine what score you get at the end of the round. The one with the most points wins the round (akin to KO-ing the opponent in a fighting game).

Yeah, like OH&S said, it has nothing to do with that, it's just being accurate to the source material, the crossover.
Quote:
There are two ways to defeat an opponent in Next Generation Game Virtual-On. The first is to score more points than your opponent by the end of the game. The second is to destroy every member of the opposing team. Preliminary matches are being held in each of Academy City’s districts and then a tournament will be held between representatives of all 23 districts. Victory there will make one the strongest player in both name and reality.

Game Rules
The game ends when one side wins two of three sets. But unlike a normal fighting game, the primary goal is not to wear down a gauge representing stamina or armor. More like judo or wrestling, the points earned from “legal blows” determine the winner (i.e. it is a form of e-sports). Virtual-On is generally won by scoring more points in two of the three sets, but KOs are also possible. And if every Virtuaroid on a team is destroyed, that team is defeated and the game ends.
