![]() Once in Beast form, the Beast button is used for attacks available exclusively in Beast form, many of which are quite powerful. When the gauge says “BEAST CHANGE!!”, pressing the Beast button will turn the character into their Beast form. Characters can enter their beast form either on the ground or in the air, and a player’s ability to go beastmode is determined by the Beast gauge at the bottom of the screen, which can be built up in human form by both dealing and taking damage. The centrepiece mechanic of Bloody Roar is, of course, the ability to turn from a human into a beast-person. ![]() It’s extremely fast-paced, with high damage, a complex mindgame built into its combo structure, and a slew of diverse and interesting characters with highly varied toolkits.Īnd all of them can turn into their fursonas. Much like how Dead or Alive took inspiration from Virtua Fighter in its design, Bloody Roar looks to Fighting Vipers to find its identity as a fighting game. What is Bloody Roar?īloody Roar is a series of 3D fighting games developed by 8ing and published by Hudson Soft, with Bloody Roar Extreme being the fourth entry in the series, itself a Japan-exclusive version of Bloody Roar Primal Fury with a few gameplay adjustments. So, as someone with a reasonable amount of knowledge of (and a whole lot of love for) the Bloody Roar series, I wanted to take some time to introduce you to the basics of Bloody Roar Extreme, so you can have a bit of context to help you understand the undoubtedly awesome matches you’ll be seeing from Combo Breaker. This game has a small, but very passionate competitive community, and thanks to the surprising, but very welcome decision to put the game on the main stage, a lot of people are going to be watching it for the very first time. Of the many FGC majors sprinkled throughout the US, the Chicago, IL event is most notable for its emphasis on spotlighting novel, commuinty-driven brackets – most notorious are its Mystery Game and Auction tournaments, including the cultural touchstone that was the Sarvets All-Stars tournament from 2018.Īnd while these kinds of events are almost certainly appearing at Combo Breaker 2022, the main stage will also be seeing a new challenger among the likes of Guilty Gear Strive and The King of Fighters XV – a Nintendo Gamecube game called Bloody Roar Extreme. The characters’ beast forms look really cool, and it is fun to see them all.It’s that time of year again: Combo Breaker is almost upon us. The controls are smooth and responsive, and there is a lot of visual flairs. The game has no move list, so this is for button mashers which is just fine here. There is just punch, kick, and beast form as well as a dodge and block button. ![]() The fighting system is simple compared to most Japanese fighters, but I preferred this. The stages are busy and well designed, plus the game looks great even for today. The characters, however, are unique but there is a serious lack of female fighters (only 4). That’s tiny even compared to other fighters with small rosters. Bloody Roar 3 has great visuals and solid controls but lacks a large roster and modes that fighters are known for.įirst off, the game only has 12 fighters. Bloody Roar features some interesting characters that can turn into Beast form which unlocks a new set of moves and some devastating attacks. Competing with games such as Street Fighter, Tekken, and Virtua Fighter at the time, people didn’t see the need for another Japanese fighter. The Bloody Roar series started on the PS1 but has seen rocky acclaim ever since its first entry. The PS2 wasn’t without its fighting games, and most were solid.
