Arc System Works USA teases a fighting game coming to Steam on Twitter

CHAOS CODE, very underrated fighter, all it needs is online play.

I'd be fine double dipping for Xrd too.

If I remember well there was one staff asking if people wanted a steam release on dustloop forums.

But after leaving the console version without netplay I dont know if we can trust them...but maybe I hold too much grudge with some fg devs : p

For people arguing about UNIEL's OST: it is so wonderfully superb that I like all character themes
except Carmine's

I honestly feel like I held too much against a lot of folks in this industry. Its not easy. Also against some personalities...I was a dick about Maximillian a few times and looking back it was really not fair to light him up. Dude shares what he loves and even if he made mistakes in things he said on a few games he brings folks the perspective of how fun fighters can be from a competitive fan's stand point. It gets folks interested in going deeper into these games. Been thinking about that for awhile now and it was just bugging me.

Here's hoping Max starts covering more ASW and whatever it is on PC gets some love from him. I think the guy would have a lot of fun with Anime fighters if he gave several a chance.
 
So what? Is everyone that asking for Xrd is talking Revelator? Asking Arc for arcade parity @ home is unrealistic, lmao.
Oh no no I am not asking for Arcade parity, that's insane. Just console parity.

What I want is console and PC day and date release for new versions of their games is all. That might be unreasonable for Arcsys though idk.

dude. We were shocked when patch 1.10 for Xrd came out like a day after the jpn version. ASW lacks at a lot of things.

That's what I hope for as well. Dunno if it's realizable though.

At the very least I hope we catch up soon. I'm just relieved they're not pulling an Atlus and pretending that Steam doesn't exist

True.
Please have online play.
At this point any game that comes out on Steam by them has to have it or they will get slammed. Don't you worry about that.

I am not sure why Atlus hasn't done anything on Steam yet in terms of Japanese games. They could have I dunno threw Catherine up or something. Then again people would want the RPGs so ehh might not be the greatest idea.

Same. Even then, I don't even think Carmine's theme is that bad. Just not as good as the rest.
The whole OST is pretty much amazing. My favorite is probably Byakuya's
Mine would be Yuzuriha's but, I dunno if that's biasness towards the character.

Light the detective GAF signal.

I'd buy that too. More Japanese games on PC pls.

Yeah, I actually think it's probably not Xrd, since that has another version on the way, and their last Steam release was a GG game.

Could be lots of stuff.

P4A
Chaos Code
Blazblue CP
Battle Fantasia
UNIEL
etc.

As long it the releases keep selling I'm actually pretty sure all this stuff is coming eventually. P4A might be a more tricky license thing though.

How have Arc's ports been up to this point? May not be relevant though as I'm not familiar with their releases thus far (solely publishing vs actually developing).

Those art styles like Xrd, Persona 5, Valkyria, etc just need to be rendered at 4K.



The life of a PC gamer monitoring Japanese releases at this point.

Please be Xrd
Please be Xrd
Please be Xrd
Please be a good port
Please be a good port
Please be a good port

I'm no expert but isn't Xrd's arcade hardware literally just a windows PC?

zzz fighting games...Hard Corps Uprising please.


my heart couldn't take watching people not buy that game again

I remember Woolie from the Super Best Friends podcast talked about playing the arcade location test when he was in Japan, and that was a UNIEL/Xrd machine that if you switched game restarted to a windows desktop first. :p

To be fair there's still a decent amount of work you'd have to do to get a proper PC port with settings and Steam functionality etc.

If it's Arc directly I would guess Xrd.

That's what I'm thinking. But please by the latest, not Sign.

Though more than likely it'll probably be Chrono Phantasma Extend, maybe.

eeehh... if its Xrd, 100% with money on it its sign. I don't see revelator coming out for a while now

one thing that perplexes me is that if this is Xrd, how will they handle DLC?

The top has some cyan colors, and it resemble a HUD if you look pretty hard.

I only remember one arc system fighting who has cyan colors on the energy bar

edit: or maybe:

Take this with a MOUNTAIN of salt.
 
Cobsidering ishiwatari's ax panel is directly related to xrd then my gut bet is xrd for steam. Although bbcp extend wouldnt be a bad bet ether. Id be happy if hnk also was anounced for steam.

Now that you got my hopes up I will blame you if I am disappointed.

Saikyo please lol.

P4A is the least likely of all the games to be honest.

Too good to be true, probably just another Blazblue.

You can all have permission to call me names if its not Persona haha, nobody else was really trying to see the colors in the teaser.

Would be pretty hilarious, though unlikely, that the first game is P4A2.
Honestly I would lose my mind. The game deserves it.

However it's so unlikely it must be something else. Are there any other fighting games were the background turns red for a super?

You can see the outline of a character in the middle of the image. It doesn't look like a P4A character though. I see a helmet or something with horns, and a shoe that looks way too big for a foot, etc.
 
How do I git gud at fighting games?

Is there ranked matchmaking so I can play against similarly skilled players?
Ranked is literally the worst way to git gud at fighting games. It's the equivalent of throwing someone into the gladiator's pit right from the start. Pick a character, go through the tutorial, figure out if you like their gameplay and practice with people online while perusing sites and forums for more specialized character info. If the game you are playing has a bad tutorial look for a 2D fighter with a good tutorial and learn the basics of 2D fighters until you are daydreaming about them.

Unfortunately years later you'll be good (even great) at fighting games, but you'll still run into monsters knock you flat on your ass. The difference will be that experience will tell you why and how it happens. Newbies have no clue why or how anything happens, so expect to be frustrated if you don't put in the work and make friends with experienced teacher types.

That's the thing though, that may not be an in game image at all! We can't know! My money is on Xrd Sign or BBCPEx if not those Under Night. Anything else will shock me.

I don't see shit.
But the red things on the right and left look like those Japanese gate things to me.

I can't see this being another BB title. They don't do hard hints like this and the fact that they are doing it now means that this has to be a game they know people are excited for. ASW NA are not dumb people.
