Hee hee… looks like I accidently forgot to remove one of my test variables, and Takumi v2 gets set to 25 Move instead of his usual 5. I’ll replace the patch with one that doesn’t do that tonight (takes my computer about an hour to churn through and generate a new patch — Edit: Finished). Or if you ran the patch before, just replace the data1 with this one. Apologies. I knew I’d end up getting something wrong. *sigh*
Also, I went ahead and inserted the (unfinished and relatively unedited) scripts for stages 7-13, so if you want to go through those, just replace your data5 with this one.
Yep, that’s all future ‘patches’ will be. The big one is just needed for all the image crapola.
As one of the biggest Valkyrie Profile whores in the world… why must this just be an April Fool’s joke?! Why why whyyyyy… Alright, I think I’m done with April Fool’s stuff now. Man… though… I’d buy this… or any VP clone for that matter, in a heartbeat.
Edit: In case you’re wondering what the outage was all about, that’s the power of Dreamhost and WordPress 2.5 QUAKE IN FEAR, MORTALS. Thank god that stress is gone.
I love stuff like this. It’s a little high on the Final Fantasy fanwankery side, but this is the kind of action and choreography that I grew up loving. It’s so sad to see how people hold up the number of frames used to animate blowing wind, or falling snow and call that dynamic animation. Strait Jacket is a perfect example… very well animated, but because the actual action in this action show is totally lifeless, what’s the point? Slow motion and spinning cameras seem to be the big thing these days. I swear… Advent Children just about made me ill with its flailing camera work. Watch the camera work on this one… rarely jumps or shifts perspectives entirely, letting you actually follow the action instead of trying to overwhelm you. I miss just watching Jackie Chan flail around like the awesome little midget that he is. Anyway, I’ll keep this brief because it’s time you should be spending watching the above. Even fanwankery aside, it’s pretty damn awesome. Obviously, check out the prequel as well. Also, I still find it hilarious that Hitomi (voiced by Horie Yui, don’t forget) is the counter to Tifa.
People seemed to want them, so here you are… the two little screensavers that came with BBH. Sheesh. I’ve uploaded pictures that are larger than them. Thanks to Zefi for pointing me in the right direction. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have concluded that "tt_ss_a" was the file I was looking for otherwise. Just drop them in C:\WINDOWS (at least for XP, you’re on your own for the rest). Uh, I have nothing else to add. Go poke at the Beat Blades Haruka entry on the Alicesoft Wiki for more BBH funtimes. They were certainly quick about getting that completely up and fully functional.
Apparently Beat Blades Haruka comes with a pair of screensavers. I came back from taking a shower this morning to my screen overrun with chibi ninjas swarming all over it. They’re no flying toasters, but they still really put my life in perspective. Swarm Narikas! Swarm!!
