Vanguard Princess, anyone playing it?

Post by nickfil »



Just curious what your impressions are. I've downloaded it, but haven't tried it out yet. Thankfully it is freeware and i don't have to be a little embarassed for picking it up in a public place like... uh.... arcana heart.

the first comment on it's reddit thread was this... "My favorite character is Panty-Panty Megaboobs, but I can never get her Hyperbreast Cannon to work against Mistress Hardnipple's Cleavage Smother finisher." Which... yeah.

Looks like a good fighter wrapped in a weirdly dirty anime skin.

I haven't downloaded it yet but I've heard it's great, also it's apparently made by an ex-capcom employee.

Oh thats what this "vanpri" japanese fighter I have is, which I cant seem to fucking run. It just keeps saying the path does not exist. I'm running the exe directly in the folder it extracted.

I quite enjoy it.

The trend with Japanese fighters of late has been to all be dial-a-combo, Guilty Gear knockoffs. Whether it's Doujin (Melty Blood) or new (Arcana Heart, BlazBlue, etc) they all feel the same, and use the same burst/dust/etc button config.

This is different. There's no more automagic chaining of everything, and despite the look has a much more oldschool feel about it, where you have to work hard to get in damage and combos. It's not Super Turbo, but there's definitely a lot of positive about this game.

I hope this guy goes on to make commercial versions of this stuff. I'd gladly pay money for this sort fighting game, instead of the current common trend of fighters.

Some guy posted info for this on shoryuken. It's nice to hear it plays halfway decent. Too bad I don't have a PC. I'm going to see if I can hook up with a friend who can download it. Need to get a USB adapter for my HRAP2SA.

Ok played it some. Not sure how I feel about it. The tits and ass I couldn't care less about. As a fighting system, I'm not really feeling it. It seems kind of haphazardly thrown together with little balance. The sprites are all impressive though.
