And so the CPU will guard after the first attack landed.By the way, don’t forget to check your combos are guaranteed in training mode by toggling the following option : Options, then Adversary, then Adversary Guard and toggle « After the first attack ».For example, light, light, light, then do a special attack with AB to cap it off. If you’re new to the genre, don’t worry, there’s also an auto-combo system : you can use it by being close to your opponent and mash the same button.If you use these shortcuts, the cooldown will last longer than by doing the advanced imputs. Keep in mind its a shortcut easing the players who aren’t familiar with quarter-circle motions into using the abilities. Basically, you have Forward + AB, Back + AB, etc. They indicate which direction to imput to use the ability. As you can see, there are arrows on the bottom of the icons. The attack varies depending on the direction you used combined with AB. It’s a shortcut allowing you to use your special attacks. The attack button is used for abilities.L for light attacks, M for medium attacks, H for heavy attacks, U for Unique Attacks, AB for Attack Button, which allows for special attacks, and there’s also a Guard button. It makes fights feel unique and technical, as you need to know when to use them and optimize your combos. As you’d expect, the length of the cooldown depends on the attacks’ power. Just wait for the ability to cool down to reuse them. Herein lies the difference between GB VS and other 2D fighting games ! Usually, you tend to use part of the Super gauge to do special attacks. Basically, you need to wait before ou can reuse them. Like in MMORPGs or some mobile games, your special attacks have cooldowns. It fills up when you attack or get attacked, move closer towards the opponent and use special attacks. Underneath, there’s the Super gauge, also known as the Skybound gauge.

Let’s focus now on the game’s interface ! You can choose characters with a simpler gameplay, that’s to the point with Gran or Katalina, characters that keep their distance, like Ferry and Metera, strong characters like Ladiva and Vaseraga (who’s really a fusion beween Soul Calibur’s Zasalamel and Nightmare), or even Lowain, who’s the game’s biggest goofball ! If you like charismatic pretty boys, there’s Lancelot and Percival ! They stole my heart ! You’ll most certainly find someone to fit your needs ! Despite the small roser, each character has a unique design and gameplay. The game only has 11 characters on the base roster, with much more waiting in the DLC section. Let’s now focus on the star of today’s video : Granblue Fantasy Versus ! They had to have a game that’s faithful to the series, that’s accessible and that’s also pretty technical… And to that end, they called for Arc System Works, also known for their incredible work on Guilty Gear, Blazblue and Dragon Ball FighterZ… And this all the while getting non VS fighting players to play the game. The game also managed to nab a spot in EVO’s main line-up this year, at the same time Mortal Kombat 11 got out, barely a year after release ! Basically, CyGames intends to get into the eSports scene, while also making a game for those not accustomed to their series. Indeed, they’d be in hot waters if they sponsored a fighting game’s team they themselves had a hand in creating. They sponsored their own team BEAST headed by champion Daigo Umehara and a couple of great international player Buuut they ended it on March 1 st of this year following Granblue Fantasy Versus’ launch to avoid conflict of interest. Since 2017, CyGames has been preparing its entry into the fighting game eSports arena. There’s a 25 episodes-long anime, a manga in 7 volumes and an Action-RPG named Granblue Fantasy RELink coming out this year ! They garnered quite a fanbase with Granblue Fantasy and so they went on a multimedia romp to make it grow. Shadowverse got a fair bit of traction, but they really struck gold by collaborating with Nintendo on Dragalia Lost in 2018 !

It came out in 2014 and got more than 24 million players playing by 2018 !ĬyGames is mainly a mobile game developper and Granblue Fantasy is their main series.
