Full-on Anime-style: Under Night In-Birth

K.O.Kiki

A new fighting game from the makers of Melty Blood.

Runs in 720p.
4-button scheme apparently, 10 (?) characters, about 40% complete.

You can tell it's Japanese because the title makes no fvcking sense whatsoever

Any proper screenshots of the actual gameplay?

Looks kinda good

Yeah looks nice in still but I assume as it's 720p it's going to be 60 fps so it's competition is Blaz Blue. Need to see it running.

Glad to see they have an irish stage, with the luas bridge behind them.

[7days Immortal] Unreal BLACK THINGS? Cool, more fighting games should have those in my opinion.

Alright, I've bought Uniel off Hong Kong PSN (HK$398)

If anyone wants to gameshare, PM me. gone!

Naphiel

Oh so we do have a thread for this already? I wasn't sure.

Anyway, I'm really really liking this game. Feels like a cross between KoF and Melty Blood. Don't have my copy yet (its in the mail, got a hard copy for convenience when it comes to casuals/tournaments) but I've been messing around with Gordeau, Merkava, Orie, Eltnum and Akatsuki. Most likely going to put serious time into Orie and Gord/Merk when it arrives.

Also to anyone considering checking this out, there's a free tournament on the 16th of August at the XGC. You'll have to pay the venue fee (€5), which lets you play casuals throughout the day from 1-7 (for other games too). Tournament details here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057258221

Was pretty uninterested in this.... but it DOES have Akatsuki in it, represent that Blitzkampf.

K.O.Kiki

Cheapest option right now is to buy it from Hong Kong PSN (digital download) for HK$398.

1. Create a new PSN account and set region to Hong Kong.
2. Buy 2x HK$200 cards (e.g. Play-Asia)
3. Sign in to PSN and access store.
4. Redeem codes.
5. Find UNIEL (e.g. Genres -> Fighters) and purchase.
6. Start the download.
7. Sign out of the HK account & back in to your regular one.
8. Send HK PSN login details to the other person.

If, by close of business in work today my UNiB hasn't arrived, I'ma buying it off the HK store.

Rather than offer to split it with anyone, I'm gonna put my account on the PS3 and download it there, so people don't have to worry about bringing in their own consoles, should they want to play and there's no physical copy abounds.

While I might have done the full set up for the account (seriously though, how was secretpirateisland@gmail.com not taken yet), I'll only be doing this if An Post don't (literally) deliver :pac:

Speak of the devil, I have it in my hands.
However, a community copy of the game would be quite radical, so I might do a small whip around and we can all pitch in on a community copy.We'd have a choice of making up the 40 or so euro from everyone pitching in equally and getting 2 PS3s with UNiB, or one person putting in a little more and claiming an install on the HK account, with only 1 of them being put in the XGC.

Cool- you got it delivered at work?

That's a cool idea about a community copy. One of the lads who were trying it yesterday might be interested in a digital copy. I'd say Patrick might be up for it.

I'm using Kiki's second digital copy for 4/5 days. Have it on my ps3 for tomorrow. My copy still hasn't arrived, probably get here today (I hope).

Voa

Man, you're well serious about that t-shirt.

Naphiel

Just because you're jealous of my ranked stats. :pac:

Voa

I don't even know what RIP is, and I want more of it.

Naphiel

Reassurance in points.
If only.

julan

The game looks awesome, can't wait to try it out

PoBrizz

Is anyone else still looking to go halves on a digital copy? A ps3 has figuratively fallen into my lap and I'm looking to buy this now.

eastyy

i loved melty blood so had my eye on this game for a while ultrachen have a great series of tutorials on youtube seems like a very good game


Really wish they would do a updated hd version of melty blood though

Naphiel

Eltnum was put in this as a test for Melty HD so it still is possible. Wouldn't expect it any time soon though. Probably years off.

eastyy

yeah i think there is some licensing issues from what i can gather the melty blood characters rights are owned by another company i am not sure though

Scavenger XIII

Melty Bloods cast is almost entirely from a *coughHGamecough* with a few original characters which they can use as they please.

No idea how good it is tho.

UNiB just got physical release in Europe, digital release coming to PS3 next week.
Whoo, actually understanding the menus and ****.:pac:

Scavenger XIII

Sweet, have to look out for it on the cheap so I can never actually play it.

eastyy

i have it on its way should get it next week i imported it though

K.O.Kiki

Didn't know, will pick it up soon I guess.

Awesome review.

eastyy

well the melty blood games were really good so i had high hopes for this game

K.O.Kiki

Update in the works.

Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late [st]

Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late [st] will reportedly adjust the previous installment with a number of balance changes, as well as make Nanase and Byakuya, who were previously console exclusive characters, playable in the arcade version. It will also introduce a newcomer named Phonon (pictured below), who sports headphones, a whip, and the personality of a queen.

Furthermore, a new gameplay mechanic will also find its way into the game. Cross Cast Veil Off allows a player in Vorpal to cancel an attack into Veil Off state mid-combo if they have over 100 meter.

... my head hurts just reading that.

Naphiel

That mechanic is actually really good for the worse end of the cast in the current version. Strong characters like Gord, Carmine and Eltnum can use chain shift and certain move properties to go into veil off mid combo and essentially gain access to either a free EX move (Carmine) or use of super from despite only having 100 meter (Gord). Now its just becoming universal instead.

Gord needs less health to weaken his RPS game and shouldn't be getting ridiculous vorpal off rekka ender.
Merkava/Wald needs extended hurtboxes. One or two hitbox nerfs as well (Merk dive and Walk 66C :pac:)
Carmine/Eltnum needs a damage nerf. Maybe mess with their frames a bit.
Linne's hurtbox needs to not disappear essentially when she does kuuga.
Don't even know where to start with Hilda but she needs tweaks. Her neutral is ridiculous.
Give Akatsuki something. Man is too honest.

K.O.Kiki

I can agree with everything except nerfing my waifu easy-mode Eltnum.

Macal

I kind of missed out on the first version of UNIB on account of not being that pushed about getting an Asian account for it. Since I have got Xrd though, I might try and pick up the game if this update looks promising enough.

The update probably will be available on JP and HK months before EU. I'm wondering if I should get Vanilla UNIB on my HK account instead of EU in case the HK update doesn't work on a EU digital copy.

Constant Markievicz

UNIB is half price (€20) on EU PSN until the 8th of July.
