Looks like the Dragon Ball Fighterz announcement is going to be a good thing for ASW all around going by SteamSpy.

Before the leak and announcement Revelator was sitting at 37k copies sold after a year on the market+ Rev 2 expansion. After the leak it is now sitting at 46k copies sold.

You can check the stats HERE

I know the original sales are not great, but it's Kind of nuts that it boosted the sales as much as it did, it's almost 1/4th of total sales

 

[RRockman]

YES! more people need to discover ASW!!!

 

[Icyflamez96]

I have seen a couple people say they bought Guilty Gear because of it.

 

[J4g3r]

The fact the game isn't even on sale makes it more impressive, good stuff.

 

[Bishop89]

GOOD!!

 

[Espada]

Whatever gets people in the door, ASW deserves more people buying/playing their games. They've done a great job with Guilty Gear, and if interest in DBF creates more interest in them or makes them more money to keep going that's win/win!

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

great news, big fan of ASW since guilty gear XX, they deserve it!

 

[sephi22]

Best timeline.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I am sure it will continue to get boosted sales too since the DBF hype hasn't died yet

 

[hanspampel]

Can someone explain to me why?

 

[Human Trashcan]

is DBZ closest to GG of the ArcSys fighters, system-wise?

 

[eizarus]

Can someone explain to me why?

DBZ looks amazing and apparently the devs are on a hot streak of fighting games with excellent mechanics and gameplay.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Can someone explain to me why?"

A lot of Dragon Ball fans are excited after the Dragon Ball FighterZ reveal and many had never played an Arc System Works game before.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

But... Why not wait till the DBZ game comes out?

 

[blazeaire]

I really hope they make the next Blazblue in this style, I prefer BB gameplay and characters but Guilty Gear Xrd has the better art

 

[Teknopathetic]

"But... Why not wait till DBZ comes out?"

Why would they wait until DBFZ comes out next year to buy Guilty Gear which is available now?

 

[wwm0nkey]

But... Why not wait till the DBZ game comes out?

Because they heard Guilty Gear is also good. Which it is

 

[thepenguin55]

I'm more excited for their DBZ game than I am for MVC... which is something I never expected to say about a DBZ game... or an MVC game

 

[wwm0nkey]

Sad, but yeah. Though also really good because DBF looks real good

 

[jon bones]

But... Why not wait till the DBZ game comes out?

lots of systems to learn, may as well get a little taste

 

[sibarraz]

I will wait for the steam sale with some discount with both revelators

 

[wwm0nkey]

I will wait for the steam sale with some discount with both revelators

$44 for both is pretty good imo

 

[Spade]

Good to see. More people need to play ASW games imo.

You weren't a fan of Liefeld Captain America and melted action figure Chun Li?

 

[ggx2ac]

So Dragon Ball FighterZ is the Pokémon Go of Guilty Gear.

(Talking about the spillover effect that people are buying other Arc System Works games because of DBFZ)

Yeah seems like it lol

 

[TreIII]

Good to hear! If at least even a portion of DBF hopefuls also go try out Arc's other products, the game meets one of its other goals.

Arc going to get paid~!

 

[LiK]

Get used to ASW's mechanics and also enjoy a good fighter at the same time.

 

[Tizoc]

I will wait for the steam sale with some discount with both revelators

U missed the deal that had them both for a little under gbp 30

 

[Asd202]

Nice! ASW deserves more success.

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Fantastic news! Hopefully they gain more new fans. They're a criminally underrated studio.

 

[Omnistalgic]

You know what, I'm buying this today, who's top tier? Am I ok with my boy Sol Badguy?

 

[Salty Rice]

Nice to hear.

 

[Jinaar]

GGx3rd is amazing! WTG!

 

[wwm0nkey]

You know what, I'm buying this today, who's top tier? Am I ok with my boy Sol Badguy?

Yeah you are good. I main Chipp, Sol and May

 

[lucebuce12]

You know what, I'm buying this today, who's top tier? Am I ok with my boy Sol Badguy?

lol you really are a Ken player.

 

[VariantX]

Can someone explain to me why?

The games probably share a few mechanics and a good way to get a feel for the game is to play something as close to it as possible.

 

[Omnistalgic]

lol you really are a Ken player.

you know it man...I love the flames! Sol always seemed like the Ken in GG series.

In Virtua Fighter you can guess who I play as well??

Spoiler

Jacky!

although I did get pretty good with Lion.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Congrats to Arcsy!

 

[Peltz]

ASW is as important to 2D fighting games in 2017 as Capcom and SNK were in the 90s. I'm hoping that DBFz makes them more of a household name.

I've been a fan since GGX2 #Reloaded on Xbox.

 

[crimzonflame]

Will DBF be the game that unites the FGC?

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Will DBF be the game that unites the FGC?"


No. The FGC doesn't need "uniting."

 

[SweetChill]

I'm one of those people. Is the in game tutorial the best resource for learning the game?

But... Why not wait till the DBZ game comes out?

I'm a fighting game neophyte and I don't want to bounce off DBFZ because of my lack of execution skill.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Worth noting that Arc's other stuff are usually a good bit less complex and easier to manage than guilty gear.

Other than hokuto no ken which is just full on bonkers.

Guilty Gear has the best tutorial mode and character training modes hands down. Make sure to do character match up training after you got the hang of it

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

ha! i was planning to pick up rev2 because DBFz got me hyped

 

[kaskade]

Just saw the PS Store has a demo for one of the games, I'm going to try it out. I'm not much a fighting game person but the fighting looked awesome in the DBZ version.

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

But... Why not wait till the DBZ game comes out?

To see if they should bother with DBZ? Safe to say it's going to play similar to GG so if you don't like GG, you probably aren't going to like DB. Might as well know now instead of being hyped for months only to be disappointed.

 

[Yohane]

How's the netcode / population on pc?

 

[Spinosaurus]

I'm a part of them lol.

Biggest reason for not getting it was that I didn't wanna invest a time into a game without appealing characters for me. Dragon Ball is giving me an excuse to get into ASW fighters, though! (Besides P4A)
