No real issue with it, I guess, but I'm just going to retitle the thread to the name of the game. Sometimes these convoluted titles are needed, but a lot of time they're just messy.

One Piece: Burning Blood Calls In Backup With Support Characters. March 9, 2016 . 8:00pm

At a recent event in London, director Hiroyuki Kaneko and producer Koji Nakajima were present to showcase the upcoming One Piece fighter, One Piece: Burning Blood.

At a recent event in London, director Hiroyuki Kaneko and producer Koji Nakajima were present to showcase the upcoming One Piece fighter, One Piece: Burning Blood. They began by quickly running through some of the already announced features for Burning Blood, highlighting the 3×3 battles and Devil Fruit / Haki abilities. They announced One Piece was coming to more fans than ever before, releasing on the Xbox One in addition to PC, PS4 and PS Vita. In addition to this, the game will feature Polish and Russian language options in addition to English, French, Italian, German and Spanish options.

One of the new announcements is the introduction of support characters into the game, including Mozu and Kiwi as a pair and Bepo. As well as selecting your team of three playable characters, you can also select three support characters. The characters don’t appear in the game but give you additional effects such as restoring part of your HP or making your attacks a little stronger. Depending on what the effect is, you use support characters via the d-pad or come about via certain battle conditions. The purpose of the support characters is to help you amplify your team’s strengths or to help cover some of it’s weaknesses.







After going through what One Piece: Burning Blood has to offer, we were shown a cutscene from the Paramount War mode, which is essentially Burning Blood’s story mode. Paramount War will cover the Marineford arc of One Piece, offering four different characters to play as, each with their own story. You’ll be able to play as Ace, Whitebeard, Akainu and of course, Luffy. The cutscene featured Ace and Blackbeard which led into a battle between the two, though neither Nakajima or Kaneko were able to defeat Blackbeard! While I’m not familiar enough with One Piece to recognize the scene, visually Burning Blood looks extremely faithful to the unique designs of the series, capturing all the quirks.

We’ll have a hands-on with the game available soon as well as an interview with Nakajima and Kaneko.

One Piece: Burning Blood will be available on 3rd June 2016 on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and PS Vita and June 2016 on PC.

One Piece: Burning Blood Director On Luffy’s Gear Four Form The Marineford Arc. March 25, 2016 . 6:30pm

Siliconera recently spoke to One Piece game series producer Koji Nakajima and One Piece: Burning Blood director Hiroyuki Kaneko to discuss the origins of Burning Blood, accessibility and a hint of what could come in the future.
5 Thoughts Read >

Siliconera recently spoke to One Piece game series producer Koji Nakajima and One Piece: Burning Blood director Hiroyuki Kaneko to discuss the origins of Burning Blood, accessibility and a hint of what could come in the future.

One Piece: Burning Blood isn’t like other One Piece games and is the first fighting game in the series. What was the inspiration behind going in a tag team fighting direction?

Koji Nakajima, Producer: So the story behind this is that I’ve been the producing a lot of One Piece games, Pirate Warriors 3 is something I’ve also done and I’ve been around the world for PR tours, community activities and I had a lot of opportunities to meet with fans, with communities and most of the time I receive a lot of feedback that, with One Piece, we’d like to have skilled fighting games and I’ve been really considering that point and finally here we are!

One Piece characters have really unique powers, they’re all very different from one another. How are you going to keep everyone balanced? For example, Luffy’s Gear Four form is in the game and some of the other characters haven’t reached his level of power yet.

Hiroyuki Kaneko, Director: So as you rightly mentioned, there is a lot of characters have superior abilities to others because some characters have very strong devil fruit abilities, some characters have very strong haki compared to others so it’s kind of hard actually to balance one versus one character. If you specifically set Luffy versus, let’s say, Ussop it might be a bit difficult but that’s actually part of the reason we implemented the three versus three system so you can’t really defeat a character with one specific character, you can always switch with another one so that you can actually balance [your team] – okay this character could be good to do this, this character might not be as good for this so let’s switch it. In addition to that, we have also implemented support characters in order to balance a bit more, so if we look at individual characters, yes, there is gaps in terms of power. But if we see three characters as a team, in addition to support characters, you’ll see that it’s quite well balanced.


Fighting games can a bit tough for new players to get into. How are going to make Burning Blood accessible for new players?

KN: I think if you’re a One Piece fan, you like to play super special attacks which is also in the original comics and those kind of special attacks can be done with a combination of certain buttons, so it’s not difficult to a reproduce a special attack. Another thing if you’re not familiar with fighting games is with the support system, such as automatic guard, where you can block your opponent’s attacks automatically. Even if you’re unfamiliar with fighting games, you can fight equally against opponents.

Another one is automatic combos so if you use a simple combination of buttons, the game itself will automatically support your combos even if you miss pressing certain buttons so overall this will be very accessible for many different kinds of One Piece fans even if they’ve never played a fighting game themselves.

So following on from that, you mentioned in the presentation that you want Burning Blood to appeal not just to One Piece fans, you want it to have a broader appeal. How are you planning to make players who aren’t familiar with One Piece get into the game?

KN: First of all, since as I explained, we are not going to only aim for not just One Piece fans but also fighting game fans. We have implemented some basic elements which fighting game should have and so if you’re playing online, you’ll be able to read your opponents moves and decide how to act. Another point is even though you don’t really know about One Piece, all the devil fruit abilities will be really unique to this game. I mean, in other fighting games I’ve never seen a character actually transform himself into a dinosaur, I’ve never seen that in Tekken or Street Fighter! And all this kind of cartoonish abilities are really enjoyable even though you don’t really know this IP.

Burning Blood features a lot of newer One Piece content from recent chapters and episodes. How do you balance these recent additions with the fan favourite content?

HK: That’s a really interesting point because first, in order to balance the characters, we have a specific system that runs automatic battles with AI so we select certain characters and they fight 1000 times. Then if one character is winning too much, okay there is probably some specific moves that are super strong and we should check and amend that. But at the same time, of course, there is original Luffy, Luffy Gear Four which is quite different but in terms of the powers of each character, it’s quite the same to be honest but the way they fight is completely different. I would say they’re completely different characters and as long as you know how to move that character you can still defeat say, Gear Four Luffy with original Luffy, so those are things which already been implemented into the game.


Why did you decide to focus on the Marineford Arc for Burning Blood’s story mode and split it into four separate paths?

Part of the reason we actually decided to focus on this specific era of the One Piece series is at Marineford, it’s actually the episode where we can gather most of the characters who have a lot of devil fruit and haki skills because that part is really important when developing fighting games. For the second topic, the reason why we have four different scenarios in Paramount War is that Marineford is the center of the conflict between the marines, pirates and some other groups so we thought that would be really interesting to see and to describe Marineford from all these different points of view so that’s why we’ve included Whitebeard [in addition to] Luffy, Akainu from the Marines side and Ace.

What aspect of Burning Blood are you most proud of and why?

KN: Since you might be familiar with Logia, which is one kind of the devil fruits – there are several different kinds and Logia is more like you can [transform yourself into say smoke, thunder or sometimes sand itself] so those are really specific devil fruit abilities which is really key for this game because the first prototype we developed, most of the characters had Logia type devil fruit abilities because in the original comics, Luffy fights Crocodile who has Logia abilities and can turn himself into sand. So if he’s up against normal attacks, he can simply transform into sand and that’s it and fans of the original comics were like “Okay, Luffy cannot really defeat his guy because he can make turn himself into sand” and that’s something we wanted to reproduce in the games. Within the prototype we can see, even Luffy attacking Crocodile matches all the attacks and special abilities [from the original comics] which looks super great even though it was a prototype. So I was already thinking okay, this is a direction we should really go in, this will definitely please the fans because this is how it’s described in the comics.

HK: As well as reproducing the look from the original comics, we also had to do this for every single platform including the Vita which is not as powerful as the PS4 and Xbox One so that was the most challenging part, especially dealing with such a small data card while still delivering the same level of quality as the other platforms. I’m 100% confident you’ll enjoy the quality of the game including on Vita.


Nakajima-san, You’ve worked on so many One Piece games from Musou to fighting games to adventure games, where do you want to take the One Piece series next?

KN: So currently since I’m still working on One Piece: Burning Blood, there’s no specific plan for the next title but what I personally think is that with the PS4 and Xbox One we have powerful hardware and also I personally like open world games. This might be a good candidate for One Piece where Luffy takes his own boat and go on his own adventure in an open world so that could be interesting!

I’d like to play that game!

HK & KN: [laughter]

Back in 2014, when interviewing Koji Nakajima for the release of One Piece Unlimited Red, we asked him a similar question to which he answered:
​

"I’ve made lots of One Piece games. Right now, I would like to make a fighting game that puts all of the Devil Fruit abilities and Haki in the spotlight. If I could make a fighting game, I would want it to capture the flashiness of the Devil Fruit abilities like how [Admiral] Aokiji uses ice and can create it at will," Nakajima said when I asked him what kind of One Piece game he would personally like to create”
​

That sounds a little familiar now, doesn’t it?

The footage starts at the 1:17 mark, where they have a huge 9v9 session, starting with a fight between Luffy, Zoro, Usopp against X Drake, Fujitora, and Burgess. The “9v9” part basically means three matches of 3v3s to see who ends up the ultimate winner of the big matchup.

The second matchup starts at 5:21, where we have Sanji, Nami, and Chopper take over the first enemy team before going up against the second one in Crocodile, Law, and Gekko Moriah. The third teams feature one side with Nico Robin, Franky, and Brook and the other with Jimbei, Eustass Kid, and Smoker.

One Piece: Burning Blood will release in Japan on April 21, North America on May 31, and June 3, 2016 in Europe for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and PC.

The video starts out with comedian Shu Koga demonstrating a bit of a silly skit, showing that he can take a taste of Enel’s Goro Goro no Mi power, which ends up being a little more than he can handle.

Following is a look of Luffy (of 2 years prior) who uses his Gomu Gomu no Mi abilities with long reach and combo capabilities. He excels at landing combos and the ability to blow away enemies from mid range, making him an easier character for beginners.

Nico Robin isn’t that mobile, but she’s able to use her unique abilities to hit enemies from a distance using her Hana Hana no Mi powers. She can slow down enemy movements and connect with a variety of attacks using her hand skills.

Brook is a humor-type character who fights using his “Soul Solid” cane sword. You’ll see him flying around the battlefield, using music to pump up his team, and slice through enemies.

Bartolomeo has the ability to change the status of his opponents using his trash-talk to provoke opponents. Once you change up their status to put yourself in an advantage, you can then use his Bari Bari no Mi abilities to fight using his barriers. These barriers can be used to protect yourself from enemy attacks while Bartolomeo and other teammates can attack and move through them.
One Piece: Burning Blood will release in Japan on April 21, North America on May 31, and June 3, 2016 in Europe for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and PC.

V-Jump released the final video of their One Piece: Burning Blood gameplay session series, and they demonstrated a look at how the “Haoshoku Haki” works in the upcoming brawler.

[YT]m0r5NpxrIyY[/YT]

At the start of the footage they show Luffy take an early beating from Akainu but he’s able to blink his way out of it and follow up with an attack of his own. This was performed by using the Haoshoku Haki.

Basically, the way it works is that abilities consume the blue gauge shown above the health bar and you’re not able to use special abilities unless you have some of it. What the Haoshoku Haki does is it completely depletes the meter when timed with an enemy ability, so that you can put them in a disadvantage. This is especially helpful when an opponent uses a “Logia Guard” which blocks all regular attacks.

The Haoshoku Haki can be used while guarding as well as while attacking, so you’ll be able to mix things around to throw your opponent off guard. Another use of this is feature is to use it as a cancel maneuver. For example, you can use it when performing an ability with a long delay to cut it short, allowing you to connect with other attacks that normally wouldn’t be possible due to the recovering after the attack.

One Piece: Burning Blood will release in Japan on April 21, North America on May 31, and June 3, 2016 in Europe for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and PC.
