Yatagarasu

[Retro Respecter]

Has anyone heard of a Doujin fighting game called Yagatarasu? No? Well, here is a video that will get attention.

wow, the sprites are pretty, and like one of the comments said, it's reminiscent to SF3:3S (Super Art Selection + Portrait Art looks like the Online Edition art :O )

Must read/watch/research more :O

[Mgbenz]

My god that ear-grating voice in the video! My ears!!!!


Anyways, it looks awesome. Why did we only notice it now?

[Bastard Mami]

Knew about it for over 1 year, aokmaniac alrady knew about it too; it ahs been cancelled alreayd twice, then it got revived an equal amount of times, newest version should be out for the comiket.

Ya-TA-GA-rasu.  C'mon, it's the three-foot crow, the Crow of Saika!

[K.O.D]

BTW, It's made by the former SNK designer Styleos who designed all the Daraku Tenshi characters as well as K', Maxima, Angel, etc.

BTW, It's made by the former SNK designer Styleos who designed... K', Maxima

That doesn't instil a lot of confidence...

Not the only thing I see reminiscent of SF3, EX moves with yellow blink palfx, parry, red parry, and universal overhead.

[Do not even ask]

It's called yatagarasu and yet it features no nukebirds or trio of info thieves. Disappointing.

[aokmaniac13]

Chadha's sprites look terrible compared to the rest of the cast.

seriously hope they change parry to be more like mb/blitz
i mean what the shit 3s style parry on a button press.

[GOH]

Has this game only been in development since last year? Some of the moves look like total ripoffs, lol.

[c001357]

around 3 years

And not one Red Bell either.

Styleos is the guy who keeps repeating his designs, right? Daraku Tenshi characters = K' and Yashiro. Any chances he might have designed Angel?

[Mechy]

Looks kinda dull.

kod just said so and I believe.

[walt]

Scanned too fast.
@mechy - The only thing I'd agree on being "dull" are the palette colors, but I think that's part of the art direction choices as a whole concept.

I like the animation on the sprites, they look anime without looking TOO anime.
They remind me of ROTD / PIM minus the stiff poses. It's fluid and bold.
Characters have well defined anatomies, and that looks neat.

Want want want

[Mechy]

Yes it looks all fluid and stuff.

It just kinda lacks punch in my opinion. The fighting does not seem to feel or sound satisfying at all, something i find very important in fighting games. And the character desings are really... generic.

but hey. I only saw one vid and it might be much better once you play it.

[GOH]

It has that whole Garou/ROTD visual feel. It kinda reminds me when Khn decided to make Melty Blood characters with Garou gameplay.
