Crap you beat me to it...oh well. You got to love the anime color scheme reference for the characters in this game. Sucks that Orie was only used once, but those Suigintou colors she has are pure win. They changed the first announcer (male) to a female announcer now, and the original characters themes are remixed it seems. Oh well, this game still continues to be impressive as always.

Is it me, or there are really low in number of anti-air option? I keep seeing people approach through jumping in.

Yea I think I saw Linne mirroring Sen Yarizui from Ben-to during her match against Seth.

I totally noticed the Ben-To colors. I also saw Suigintou colors for Orie, Madoka Kaname for Vatista, and Sayaka Miki colors for Yuzuriha in the mix.

I noticed that only Yuzuriha has some weird ABC thing under her health bar. Why is that?

After watching videos of Yuzuhira I think I have an idea why those ABC tokens are there. I think it has to do with her Iaido ability and when you're in a sword stance, depending on the button you press the sword slash can go in unpredictable directions and can react with a dash and continue a combo. So it's techincally a long range poking and punishing tool, but can be tricky to counter or block if used correctly. It's to early to tell, but that's what I can come up with for now. So is that reasonable?

Kirito · 2012-08-24, 11:17

Alright, I'm back with another update. Here are new videos featuring the current 10 released characters, but with clear and beautiful gameplay. No commentator voices, no shaky camera, just clear beautiful gameplay demonstrations with voices and character BGM's in the mix. These vids are similar to the early character release demonstrations, but longer and with voices etc. Well I hope you'll all enjoy what you're about to see, this game is looking more better by each release, at least to me.

Sept 20 is the official Japanese arcade release, interesting. It'll be interesting to see what the pros or regular arcade attendees will come up with regarding each character.

Spoiler for Character Updates:

So signs of Hilda yet... weird since the game is getting close to its release in actual arcades, and the other characters have had their initial releases. I'll look into that, but that's all I have at the moment and if there's any news or any new gameplay footage I'll let you all know. Dwarven Vow #10: Play well, play lots!

Xefi · 2012-08-24, 11:57

^ just curious Kirito. how are you planning to play this game? in the arcade @ Japan?
i like the art style of this game. gonna check out the videos later @ home. i dont go out to
the arcade at all. i guess i'll just sit back and watch some videos instead....lol.

heavenwargod · 2012-08-24, 15:36

More than half of the cast is obvious, but I can't make anything out of Merkava's voice. They want people to make guesses for the cast but what's with that? >.>

Vatista's voice could be voiced by almost anyone lol.

Anyway, the contest is over, and they said they'll be announcing the full cast list end-August. I envy whoever gets that full cast illustration.

I'm just waiting for actual news that this game will get localized after people the initial arcade release and the popularity and demand for the this game get high. I'm still hoping that Arc System Works will pick this game up since they're behind the Guilty Gear and Blazblue series, and might I add Persona 4 Arena (the combat aspect of it). Their combat system mechanics are really fun and unique, at least to me.

Well it is being build on a PC more than likely. And they need to increase their profit and fanbase by making it purchasable.

I'm silently very hyped for this game, would love to hear a console port announcement soon.

Like Arcana Heart 3 which was a PS3 download only, I wonder if the game will follow that example as well. I'm really hype for this game myself, but I wish they didn't dumb down Orie's and Linne's theme music a bit. If you listened to them in the earlier videos you'll see my point. I don't have a problem with them, but I wish they stuck with the original themes from the earlier beta presentations of this game.

Arc System Works only localized the fighting games they developed themselves to my knowledge. Guilty Gear and BlazBlue were both theirs from scratch.

I have my doubts whether they would localize another fighting game developer's work.

Arc System Works don't localise games for foreign audiences, BlazBlue and (post-AC) Guilty Gear were localised/published in North America by Aksys Games. Aksys and Arc System Works are 2 entirely separate companies who happen to share a partnership, the similar names are purely coincidental.

If you have a PS3 controller, you can just use DS3 tool to play it on PC.

Can someone explain to me how the GRD system works?

Kirito · 2012-08-25, 11:31

Here's what I found out:

Each match begins with both players with 0 GRD. Everyone has six stocks of GRD that fills up overtime or they can fill up themselves in other ways. With each new stock their defense/offense are increased. GRD is also slowly filled when your attacking but decreases while your being attacked. GRD does not carry onto the next round.

I think there's more to this but that's all I know at the moment.

I prefer PC. Don't have money for these fancy consoles and I own a gamepad.

Anyway, these vid look very neat. If I ever get my hands on this game, I'll try maining either Hyde, Linne or Seth.

I know that much, but I was wondering about other things, like GRD Vorpal and Chain Shift. There were also times where one player's GRD went past the centerpoint dividing them and into the other person's GRD meter, and other times where the opponent's GRD meter was broken.

Kirito · 2012-09-04, 12:55

I'm back with another update. Here's the list of VA for the game.

Spoiler for UNIB Character Seiyuu's:

Sorry about that Shadow5YA. To answer all your questions, I hope, here's what I've found regarding the systems and other things you and I'm sure many others are curious about.

Spoiler for UNIB In-depth Game System:

Well that's all I have for now, and like always if there's any new news or updates regarding this game, you'll all be the first to know. So until then, until then.

Spoiler for UNIB Character Seiyuu's: Hyde: Kimura Ryouhei Linne: Sakura Ayane Waldstein: Ishii Kouji Carmine: Kondou Takashi Orie: Hayami Saori Gordeau: Toriumi Kousuke Merkava: Kiuchi Hidenobu Vatista: Touyama Nao Seth: Kaji Yuuki Yuzuriha: Fujimura Ayumi Hilda: Takada Hatsumi Sorry about that Shadow5YA. To answer all your questions, I hope, here's what I've found regarding the systems and other things you and I'm sure many others are curious about. Spoiler for UNIB In-depth Game System: The System page has been added to the official website of Under Night: In-Birth yesterday. The very good news is not only it has no comeback mechanics, it also rewards better players big bonus. Here is our summary. There are only 2 gauges that you have to pay attention to, EXS and GRD. This game really requires strategy as both of them can fill each other. EXS (pronounced Exis) - It is on the bottom left or right of the screen. - This is similar to SF4's Super Combo gauge. - Full gauge is EXS 200%. Half gauge is EXS 100%. - It is used for EX version of special moves. EXS 100%+ is required. - By pressing A+B+C at EXS 100%+, the character will enter Veil Off state. In this state, you can use EXS moves as much as you want in limited time until the gauge depletes to 0%. (Veil Off consumes all of your EXS.) - Veil Off activation moment also works as "Burst" which pushes opponent away even under hit-stun. - In Veil Off state, you will also get GRD bonus from actions. - Ultimate moves called Infinite Verse will be usable at EXS 200% or in Veil Off state. - Ultimate moves called Infinite Verse EXST will be usable only at EXS 200% and while opponent has 30% life or below, and you must use between a combo while having max Veil Off. This is instant death move. GRD (Grind Grid) - It is on the bottom center of the screen. - Your GRD will increase if you are in a good situation, and decrease during a bad situation. - GRD Vorpal is activated each time after the circle is filled with light. If your GRD is more than opponent at the moment, the circle will turn into your color (red or blue) and you get the benefits. The circle will then be reset again after it is filled. There is a chance that the circle will always be your color if you can maintain the momentum. If both players have the same GRD when the circle is filled, the circle will turn white and no one gets the benefits. - In GRD Vorpal state, you do extra damage. - In GRD Vorpal state, by pressing D twice, you can convert all of your GRD into EXS gauge. This action is called Chain Shift. Moreover, Chain Shift will cancel the ongoing animations, returning you to neutral again so you can continue a combo or use it for frame trap. The GRD circle will turn white after using it. - You can boost your GRD by holding D. It can also decrease opponent's GRD. This action (called Concentration) consumes EXS. - You will get GRD bonus when blocking an attack using Shield. But if you get hit while using Shield, GRD Break will occur. GRD Break will reset your GRD. - Shield (press D while blocking) requires some EXS (around 20%). If successful, you will gain a lot of momentum in GRD. Other features - There are 4 buttons: A (light attack), B (medium), C (strong), D (EXS Action). - There is something similar to P4U's Auto Combo, called Smart Steer. You get a combo by pressing A>A>A>A. - Assault (forward + D) works like hop (for hop attack), midair is possible. Well that's all I have for now, and like always if there's any new news or updates regarding this game, you'll all be the first to know. So until then, until then. __________________
