Daemon Bride
« on: July 09, 2009, 09:05:37 AM »

For those who don't know what this is; you're not alone. There's barely any info on this game, even in Japanese!. What I do know about this game is that it's being developed by EXAMU, the same company that created Arcana Heart. It also has a release date set for July 16th in Japanese arcades. HOPEFULLY it will be a big enough hit to warrant a North American release and a GOOD console port. Otherwise, we'll simply have to make due watching Shonen pick up Kureha, and destroying everyone with GraveDigger loops. :V
(Interestingly, it also contains an element from IaMP: Grazing.)

Gamespot Japan has a nice screen gallery for you to gander at here (I dunno about you, but I really like the character designs!.)
And finally, an official trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y4xm6uUpQE&feature=channel_page

Oh boy Grazing. Something else for MUGEN players to get pissed off at other than touhous.

Isn't that half the reason MUGEN players were pissed off at Touhou chars to begin with?

That's the point, now they can be pissed at other stuff too due to grazing.

Ah, well, less heat for Touhou.

And Touhou-loving MUGEN-goers may even get some new pals to play using. . . . If, in fact, this Daemon Bride thing turns out to be any good.

EDIT: That vid of Kureha . . . not only does Kureha seem to fight like a Testament expy (as you illustrated), but . . . his opponent in that vid reminds me of both Eddie AND Testament's 'EXE Beast'. (Yes, I play GG. My local arcade pulled its GGXX, though, making me RAGE.)

'Simple Mode' in the trailer made me laugh out loud. Dial-a-combo on every button.

Not sure what to expect of this, but it's probably worth seeing what happens with it.

And is Michael female in this or am I seeing things?

I don't know what's more hilarious.  That he has a tentacle monster for an arm, that he looks like a reject from Cho Aniki, or that his name is Dawn.

If you really did play GG like you say you do... You'd know that Eddie doesn't have EXE Beast...

I highly doubt they'll actually allow that for tournament play. That's just there for the SWR casualists. :V

I do. I would also like to elucidate, as it seems I have not made myself clear enough. It reminded me both of Eddie and of Testament's EXE Beast.
 
It helps me out a lot when people manage to pick up context clues. Like the fact that I play Guilty Gear and that Eddie does not in fact have EXE Beast.
Spoiler:
Let alone the fact that the two together implies that I actually know that and that it was just a fluke of punctuation. I play Testament and hate fighting Eddie with a passion. Or at least I did while my local arcade carried it.

0:16. There's something about a mass of toothy psuedomatter shooting across the floor at groundhugging level that reminds me of EXE Beast. Mainly because that's what EXE Beast is.

That and his consistency.

He's more like Venom than an EXE Beast.

Indeed, it does seem that way from that sprite.
 
Though I still say that he has the consistency of an EXE Beast. That, or an Angel.

Amazing. It seems EXAMU held a pre-release tournament under the title 'Crusade Zero'. They will be holding another tournament on the 17th. You can watch the matches here.
(Also, Kuon reminds me of Ky oh so much. Just because of the Vapor Thrust and COCONUT!.)

The game has Astral Finishes!. Though, they're kinda boring in comparison.

Something I noticed while watching matches from this guy's account; Daemon Bride's OST is fucking amazing. Personal favorite right now is Souya's theme. (Green haired archer w/ flying pig.)

I must agree about Souya's theme. Yui's theme is currently in second for me.

Wow, the concept art for Shiffon, Eve & Dawn look much better than the final version of their character designs.

I'm going to have to agree on Shiffon and Dawn, however, I don't like either of Eve's designs. :V

Oh, come on. Can't you at least appreciate Eve's concept design for not looking like Hugo's manager with over-the-top shoeblades?. :V

I'd disagree on Dawn, I think his octo-arm looks too gangly and weak in his concept art. Having the head on his shoulder makes it look stronger. Eve's other outfit was better though, yes.

I want to play the scruffy priest with the loli angel.

Yeah, but in the final design, his legs are the ones that look too gangly and weak...
