last night amy played gbvfr and found out that her character (anila) sucks ass apparently but also that she's pretty fun even if you can't do much more than 2U > 214L and 2L > f.L > 214L
@coriander @wallhackio specifically it's gbfvr-flavoured notation
that game has L, M, H, and U for Light, Medium, Heavy and Unique. numbers are "a direction that you can hold the stick in", there's 9 possible angles (including neutral) that are numbered like so:
789
456
123
it's called "numpad notation" for reasons that will become clear if you look at your numpad
">" just means "proceed to the next move" as opposed to meaning specifically "link" or "cancel", i guess when it's intuitive. and f. as a prefix means "the far version of this move as opposed to the close one"
so "2L > f.L > 214L" means "crouching light, standing far light, quarter circle backward light"
@monorail @coriander the fuck is gbfvr
@monorail @coriander Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising?
@wallhackio @monorail @coriander Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising
@aescling @wallhackio @monorail @coriander It's fun but it's very anime
@amy @aescling @monorail @coriander anime is good as long as its not full of that specific type of anime fanservice that I dislike
@wallhackio @aescling @monorail @coriander To be clear I don't mean anime as an art style (though it is), I mean it as a subgenre of fighting games
@amy @aescling @monorail @coriander oh what does that mean for gameplay
@wallhackio @amy @monorail @coriander im sure there’s more to it but anime fighters are known fur airdashing
@aescling @amy @monorail @coriander im sorry cat, but with all due respect-- in all fairness, that is to say-- in an effort of candidness, so to speak-- with all attempt at courtesy, it could be said--
did I ask you
:P
@wallhackio @amy @monorail @coriander i was mentioned in your toot
@wallhackio @aescling @monorail @coriander Basically "plays like an arcsys game" ha ha
Big flashy moves, a lot more versatility in your movement options (especially in the air, airdashing etc), blocking in the air is a big one...
Though I'm seeing people online disagree with me that gbfvr is an anime fighter despite the anime aesthetic so /shrug It's certainly more anime than SF is
@monorail @coriander @wallhackio i was wondering what the U stood fur, i’d never seen it befur in this context
@wallhackio @monorail it's fightman
