Acceleration of Suguri 2 - Full version released!

http://daidai.moo.jp/aos2/aos2.html

GET HYPE GET HYPE GET HYPE

Demo only has 4 characters sadly (Suguri, Sora, Saki, and Alte), but man, what a graphical upgrade compared to the original. There's been an anti-spam system added in, limiting both how quickly you can spam attacks as well as how many of a certain type of attack you're allowed to use (no more standing W1 spam, you need to use everything now). The older characters all received buffs (and in Saki's case, one nerf), and, honestly, all the characters are pretty balanced now. Only gripe with the demo is that Saki's tambourine hitstun is absurd, that better get nerfed in the full version.

Speaking of the full version, that's slated for an August 13 release date, and will be available for purchase at C80!

Uploading a gameplay video of me (playing as Alte) vs Suguri (hard), will post when finished.

EDIT: Video uploaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlOj9oEuLRQ



Up to 1080p HD available, but...fraps fucked up the framerate a bit I guess. Sorry, it's a little slow. ):

EDITEDIT: Another vid, this one didn't lag when recording. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aMqUZPk93I

1080p like a bawss.

Also, what does heat mean? are these girls always in heat?

Heat is generated when you dash; 30% at the beginning of the dash, then it gradually increases as you continue the dash. It's how much % extra damage you take when hit (so for example, if you get hit by a 500 damage attack at 300% heat, you take 500 + 1500 = 2000 damage).

Having issues getting Multiplay to work properly. It goes well up until we get to the actual battle, where the client freezes, refuses to respond, then boots us back to the Main Menu.

Objective is to unleash bullet hell on each other?

I'm interested.

Saki's SP+W2 should be nerfed bad.
Alte's pilebunker is so boss.
Saki's bombs still don't seem particularly useful.

Any idea on the full roster? (I hope Hime won't be in this one)

Hime's already a given, so no surprise there.

Personally hoping for more Suguri and Sora variants(like Sora with the Zapper).

Sara Leen mentioned only one secret character, and by the sounds of it I think it's a completely original character.

Speaking of info leaks, story mode is apparently supposed to be different than it was in AoS as far as the gameplay mechanics are concerned. Not quite sure what that means, but I have a feeling StarBreaker-with-bomb will be a boss at some point.

Boo.

Welp, tambourines have ruined the demo pretty much completely.

That stun time.

How much longer 'til the full game comes out again?

August 13.

This coming Saturday.

Can't wait for it.

Also, after having played some games in Netplay, getting a proper game with me is gonna be difficult.

Must... netplay... with... someone... near... Florida...

New character leaked. It's fun having sources on the inside. :3c

Spoiler'd, because, obviously, spoilers.

Spoiler:

Based on the design I'm really thinking she's

Spoiler:

or something.

hmmm not bad, a bullet-in-hell style game,the artwork remember me some game,i gonna play it when i have time.now i know where suguri got this name.

Spoiler:

Still kind of preferred character variations, but OK.

Full game is out.

Okay, messed around a bit now in the full version. Thoughts on character balance.

Suguri wrote:

Suguri - Pretty similar to AoS, maybe a bit worse in contrast to most of the cast.
Sora - Definitely one of the better characters.
Saki - God tier due to broken tambourine infinites.
Alte - Pretty middling in effectiveness.
Iru - Oh my god why did she get buffed so much. Still no melee but her projectiles all got speed and damage buffs, and she can still spam like hell. Definitely high tier if not top tier.
Tsih - Haven't used her much myself yet, but rocks have potential, cloaking will definitely infuriate a lot of people, and she has some other brutal gimmicks available.
Nanako - Almost completely identical to AoS.
Mira - Seems quite good, but very technical.
Kae - Spammability nerf, heat sink buff, massive damage buff to her regular W1 shot.
Sham - Bottom tier, she's so garbage.
Kyoko - Got some nice buffs, but I suck too much at using her to say if they make a large difference or not.
Nath - Possibly worse than Sham at the start, but with upgrades she gets a lot better fast.
Hime - Haven't unlocked her yet, but I've heard she's actually pretty bad.
StarBreaker - Have unlocked her, I'm bad at using her but I've heard she's supposedly really good.

Offtopic:

Suguri,what is that siggy,is it suguri related?

Okay, unless I'm missing something from just fighting the AI, the only nerfs I see that Hime got were Passion and her laser hyper being thinner. She seems completely fine to me otherwise.

It's Suguri and Hime.

Any word on how to get that Sumika person?

Just got the game, but I'm still trying to figure out the controls... can someone explain every move input to me like I'm 5?

If you have a gamepad, go to Controller Config in Options.

Now, pretend you're Suguri for a minute.

-WA is firing your rifle.
-WB is firing your missiles.
-Hold SP then press either WA or WB to use your beam saber.
-DASH lets you move fast and build up your Hyper gauge when you dash by projectiles, but also builds up Heat.
-HYPER let's you do a Hyper attack. If you press WB or SP along with the HYPER button, you do a different Hyper attack. Consumes one Hyper gauge. If you have 3 Hyper Gauges, press HYPER, WA, WB and SP at the same time to use your Accel Hyper.
-GUARD summons a shield that protects you for a while and pushes back the enemy if they're close. Consumes one Hyper gauge.

If you don't have a gamepad, then I dunno, since I don't play with a keyboard. I guess just go to practice then keep pressing buttons until something happens. I'm guessing Z, X and C will have something to do with those.
