I fully expect Tashigi to be in

And by Tashigi I mean Smoker

lmao I see what you did

But, the game looks okay. Not completely sold on it but it's One Piece at least.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

This is a One Piece game, not some Otokojuku fighting game lol there was literally no chance this wasn't gonna have female characters

Sure, i wasn't worried myself. Might have just been Nami and Robin though.

 

[dan2026]

I have to say this looks like a really bad fighting game.

Even the animations look stiff and awkward.

 

[mcmmaster]

Ugh.

I'm getting really tired of these all flash, no depth anime fighters cashing in on big licenses. Feels like ASW is the only place I can go to get a halfway decent fighters with pre-existing characters these days.

Have a read on the game's mechanics and battle system, it's definitely gearing itself more towards traditional fighting games with depth instead of your typical casual anime fighter, also from what i've seen in trailers the game is looking pretty tech.

The use of Logia Guard mechanic should provide some interesting matches, especially being able to activate it in mid-air like this, baiting your opponent on whether they'll use their Haki Gauge or not.

Is it like a Just Guard type of thing?

 

[LPride]

With 19 guys and 0 girls playable before this announcement, the worries seemed partly justified to me.

Its crazy to think that at the bare minimum Nami and Robin wouldnt be in the game, theyre in the crew!

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Perona has one of my favourite laughs in One Piece.

Spoiler

Moria too, but I don't care much about him.

KIIIIIISHISHISHISHISHISHI

 

[mcmmaster]

Is it like a Just Guard type of thing?

Essentially yes but without having to deal with the pressure of a normal guard, I imagine using it on ground has to give you some sort of advantage in getting your attack out after nullifying all your enemy attacks.

 

[Perona]

Oh nice, I made it in.

 

[panama chief]

Oh nice, I made it in.

Hahahahaha

 

[Darth_Caedus]

Finally! Female characters! My Robin! The sadist Hancock and Perona! And Nami!

(Why is Perona not New World?!)

 

[Oni Link 666]

Is there a Water 7 Robin costume?

 

[pizzacat]

[chrono01]

Nami, Robin, Boa, and Perona? \o/

 

[wheeplash]

Sure, i wasn't worried myself. Might have just been Nami and Robin though.

As if that would be allowed at all.

 

[Rising_Hei]

This looks awesome, fast paced and intuitive. unlike J Star and the likes

 

[KyleCross]

I'd be excited, but this game really isn't looking too hot to me. It reminds me of Fighting for One Piece... which is a bad thing.

 

[Sesha]

They announced Bartolomeo, Drake, Enel and Kidd before any female characters? Talk about backwards priorities.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

When she became ship material for Zoro..

Awwwww yeah.....

They announced Bartolomeo, Drake, Enel and Kidd before any female characters? Talk about backwards priorities.

You have to make Enel the exception. It's Enel. You always announce Enel first above anyone else.

[unknownstranger]

Them swimsuits...

 

[Trace]

Perona is the best female character in One Piece.

That's why she's popular.

See guys, we put female characters in, we're not sexist!

Now watch them fight in skimpy swimsuits!

Spoiler

Nothing surprising here, I just find it amusing with previous threads calling the game sexist.

 

[Reknoc]

Horo horo horo horo.

Perona is a nice surprise. Other 3 seemed pretty obvious they were going to make it; 2 straw hats and 1 character that was playable in the game this was built on.

Edit: Guess these means Vivi is out as usual *goes back to Grand Battle 3*

 

[13randO]

Burning Blood definitely isn't sexist.

Spoiler

One Piece is though.

Also, while on topic of females it would be sick to play as

Spoiler

Koala. I wanna see some fishman karate!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

What's the name of the female characters in this? I found two of Nico and Nami on the wiki, but there are like 200 in total for me just to find the other two.

Boa Hancock and Perona.

 

[RobbieNick]

Mero mero merooo!

I watch the dubs. So for me it's more "Hora. hora. horraa!"

 

[SalvaPot]

So can anyone tell me why they went for the Pre-Timeskip design for Perona instead of the Superio Post-Timeskip design?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

So can anyone tell me why they went for the Pre-Timeskip design for Perona instead of the Superio Post-Timeskip design?

So they can sell it as DLC afterwards.

 

[Htown]

wait why would like... Nami and Robin need to be confirmed? Aren't they core members of the Straw Hats? It's like coming out and announcing that Krillin and Vegeta are going to be in the next DBZ game.

 

[Samemind]

Marketing. Also there've been One Piece games without the whole Strawhat crew playable.

 

[Ray Down]

Depending on how things go I imagine Purin could be a dlc character.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I haven't really been following this game untill now, but have they said how characters that can't use haki can hit the Logia users? The trailer showed that Logias can become invincible, which has to be countered by haki attacks or something.

I think there a haki gauge, but I'm not sure if all the characters get it.

 

[foxuzamaki]

With a design like that, she was destined to be real popular.

Is my girl Tashigi in this yet?

Designed like that and having close ties to zoro where people are left to imagine what they were up to for 2 years

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

This game needs more Zoan types. Rob Lucci seems like the obvious choice.

... It might be. It's also not wrong...

 

[Piers]

Looking like more effort is being made to keep combat streamlined but technical too. Just hope "technical" fighting doesn't boil down to timing blocks perfectly, as a lot of 3D fighters have relied on recently.

Also have never been a fan of haki -- from its concept to implementation into One Piece. ("Oh, yeah, you didn't know about haki? And how almost every major villain so far decided to not bother using it?" Rayleigh to Luffy)

In that case I would pay for Pre-Timeskip Robin.

Yup, kind of ass implementation, even though it was hinted a lot.

 

[Vaughngief]

Nah, not Storm. They're using the J-Stars Victory engine.

Spoiler

So, even worse.

It's a modified version. You don't have 10 years of invincibility when you get up from a knock down in Burning Blood.

you mean like devil fruits are common in the grand line but rare outside of it?
haki is diffused in the new world and only rarely found in the "paradise" section of the gran line (like on amazon lily)

also,learning haki is a difficult time consuming process that may or may not bear fruits,AND you still need to find someone able to train you before even thinking of learning it..so that so many villains in the past didn't use it it's not relaly that preposterous

Eh, they had to do something. Logia types were way too overpowered, Ace vs Smoker really showed that.
I think they're original plan was every Logia would have a secret weakness, like Crocodile and Enu, but they quickly realized that wouldn't work out.
Just the trouble with long running series, not having everything planned out years in advance. Some of the vision has to be modified and changed.
