Fighting Layer - Are you right? Are you ready?

Last night we discovered a really fun fighting game.





It's produced by Arika, same dudes that did SF EX (and hence why it includes chars like Allen and Blair).
Easy to get into, fairly interesting cast, fun moves... we had a blast.

Emulatable in MAME, runs pretty much fine.

General System Mechanics:

Damage is slightly random

Most chars can  mash LP for a chain combo

Jumping normals tend to flip the opponent out so they land on their feet, jumping specials knock down.

Jumping normals can be cancelled into air specials, which can then be cancelled into air supers

Air moves can be tiger knee'd

Dash with F,F or B,B
While dashing, P near the opponent switches sides.

Counters do additional damage

Throws with f+mp, b+mp, f+mk, b+mk. Some chars only have one throw.
Throw reversals must use the SAME button but the OPPOSITE direction.

f+HK and f+HP dodges into and out of the screen respectively. Slight invincibility.

Special->Super cancelling is quite lenient. Super->Super cancelling is also possible at times.

Hits can 'clash' like in BB - no damage to either character. I think LP/LK normals can't clash.

KKK works like a burst in GG or BB, interrupts an opponent's combo or throw, but also fills up your super meter! Can only be used once per match.

'EX' Reversal specials with LP+LK, MP+MK, or HP+HK when getting up. Uses 1 meter.

'Universal overhead' with LP+LK, MP+MK or HP+HK when standing. Uses no meter. Can be charged for more damage. If blocked low, staggers opponent.

It is possible to cancel some normal moves into the Universal overhead. Even though this doesn't combo, can be pretty good for strings like j.HK, cr.lk xx UOH. Cancelling a slow sweep with UOH may be useful, although doesn't seem to work for all chars.

There seems to be some kind of kara cancel possible, for instance with Blair her slide move (qcf+K) can gain additional range by kara-cancelling cr.HK before the qcf+K. Ditto with Lan's qcf+P move.
Any sufficiently godlike street fighter technique is indistinguishable from randomness

His cr.mp (2 hit), cr.mk combo is pretty tricky. I seem to be able to do it by the following motion:
cr.mp, cr.lp, cr.mp~cr.mk (for 3 hits, cr.lp just seems to make the combo easier).
Combos:
j.mp, cr.mp (2 hit), cr.mk xx qcf+P xx qcfx2+K, qcfx2+P
blockstring: cr.mp (2 hit), cr.mk xx qcb+P

Check out how much info I've managed to gather about this game. More to come too, hopefully!

Wrote up a couple of discoveries today - kara cancelling normal moves into special moves, and cancelling normal moves into the UOH.

<Smoof>
He's the hero NZism deserves.
But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.
Because he's not our Hero.
He's a Niuean Guardian.
A watchful poster.
BIRRY WONG.

This is far more interesting because there's very little information about it.

Also it plays a lot like a SF game :P

Good this game is finally getting some love. Bonus stage where you have to beat up a huge tiger or shark! This game is really fun. Used to muck about with it on emu. Really into the artstyle. Was published by namco I think.

Oh and the boss has a canon Jockstrap that he shoots you with while doing ballet. Weird.

I should have know you'd like this game Marc :)

Yeah I think the art is pretty good actually. Especially Blair - I like her expression.
The sounds and announcer are just awesome too. Just a really fun game overall.
