Wouldn't know. Haven't seen the picture. Someone may scan it, though.

yeah I just read the japanese page (translated with babelfish), could it be pandaman again? anyway the game will be out the day after tomorrow, don't know how long it will take to be shipped overhere tho.

Watching the video again, in the part they show the selectable characters there's one character I cannot recognize, it's right between suguro and mantaro, do you know who that is?

I thought that it might've been "Random select".

maybe, but I doubt they'd put the random button between the 2 kinnikumans right at the center, but who knows, as for the tournament mode I hope this time it'll be a long tournament, in the previous games after 3 matches you were already the champion.



EDIT: here's the pic where I pointed out the unrecognizable character http://img101.images...immagineis7.jpg

does any of you know who he is?

It looks a bit like Checkmate to me, but I have no idea why HE'd be there.

I was thinking it might be random select too. It kinda looks like a guy in a hood to me, like the guy you see towards the end of the long vid. Either that, or it kinda looks like Turbinski....which would make no sense.

2 days left and we'll find out

[kinnikumask]

kind of looks like Planetman to me.

When I was checking the Japanese Wikipedia page for the game, it lists Kinniku Ataru/Soldier as one of the characters. There's also something that was in V-Jump that states that the 33rd character is someone from Kinnikuman Nisei (but was a Sillouhette).

I checked again the japanese page of wikipedia traslated with a better translator and it says that barrier freeman is also among Gen 2, here's what came out

New generation

*
KIN meat 10,000 Taro (new costume)
*
Cabin mask (a mask and armor are black (2P color of KIN meat man muscle Generations ))
*
The Terry THE kid (new costume)

Jade (with no helmet)
*
a scar -- face (exaggerated body)
*
Checkmate (the color of costume is the black keynote)
*
IRYUHIN (a bodily color is the light-blue keynote)

* Barrier-free man (a diaper is yellow)

EDIT: as for the precise number of selectable characters so far we've gathered 32 (barrier freeman excluded) if you take a look at the pic I posted up here we have 2 lines of 17 characters, 17+17=34 (33 if that strange figure is really a random button but I doubt it, I'd go for 34 cuz it'd make more sense), if we add barrier freeman we have 33 characters, + the hidden character 34 in all, it matches the number, Unless the hidden one is barrier freeman himself, or maybe there's one more.

Well, not that it means anything, since the site can be adjusted, but on http://www.kinnikuma.../ps2/chara.html , there is room for 33 characters. 34 would place something over the copyright info, or whatever that is at the bottom.

the 34th character could be this infamous hidden nisei character, that explains why there's no room for him on the page, by the way it's weird they haven't added eskara, checkmate, turbinsky and kinnikuman soldier on that page yet, as you said anything may change on the site but bear in mind that the game will be out tomorrow, I doubt there'll be significant updates after that.

Ok, I got my hands on a bootleg copy. That middle character is definately random select. I'm going to check the rest of the game out a bit, but it runs like shizznit on emulator, and I don't have a controller, so I don't know how much I'll do before getting sick of it



Here's a menu screenshot if anyone's interested.

Any chance you could tell those of us who are either cheap or impatient where you got the ROM, Zombie?

[Zombie]

After you choose your character, you have to choose from 3 settings/options or whatever. I have no idea what these mean, maybe someone can translate.

[buffaloman]

they musta read my previous post, the site has been update again with the remaining characters, plus kinnikuman soldier is in the homepage now instead of the 7 devil chojins.

thanks for the menu image, did u manage to see how many characters are available at the beginning? I know PS2 emulators suck so that might be hard to do, anyway like skulduggery asked, where did u get the ISO from?

The characters available from the start are: Jade, Sunshine, Ashuraman, Ninja, Warsman, Robin Mask, Terryman, Kinnikuman, Mantaro, Kevin Mask, Ramenman, Buffaloman, Pentagon, Wolfman, Broken Jr., and Terry the Kid. 16 in total.

BTW, alternate costumes are available from the start.

by beating the 2 storymode you'll surely unlock some characters, but not all of them for sure, someone who knows japanese should make a FAQS, did you figure out what those 3 writings mean? could one be the alternative costume?

Alternate costumes are selected by pressing square instead of circle. Still have no clue what the words mean. Perhaps they are like a character handicap setting like many fighting games have?

you should try each of the 3 words and see if you notice any difference

[Zombie]

I tried the three options, but with how slow it runs on emulator, it's hard to notice any difference.

yeah right, anyway at this rate I should get the game in 3 hours, than I'll have it a go on my PS2, it'll be hard ti figure out the special moves without the manual

Edited by buffaloman, 25 July 2006 - 11:08 PM.

[Frobman]

I recognised that 3rd option with Kinnikuman to be Kajiba no Kuso Chikara, the Burning Inner Strengh. I think you're choosing some sort of inner strength from what kanji I understand.
Barrier-Free Man would be interesting. One could shift from one character to the other.

EDIT: One more thing! What's the intro like, if you could show it?

I found the torrent, but unfortunately the tracker seems not to support BitComet or BitLord. What client did you guys use?

u torrent

[buffaloman]

I'm playing the game now but I can't figure out anything, neither the menu nor the in game writing, has anybody figured out the special moves?

the analog stick doesn't seem to be usable by default, I hope I can activate it somewhere but where? gotta sign up a japanese class only for this game
