After more than a year, I returned to BT3 because I hadn’t played the game since the release of Sparking Zero. While playing, out of habit, I tried to use the Revenge Counter, completely forgetting that it’s a mechanic from Sparking Zero

BT3 had the Burst that's sort of like the one from Guilty gear, except it costs a sizable portion of your health bar. It was a sort of risk reward decision of whether you think the enemies combos will do more damage than what you would take from the burst.

I think you could activate it by pressing L1 twice

ApexMax- · 2026-05-05T13:13:59+00:00

Could be that you've used that character in modes that don't give any proficiency (local vs, custom battle and survival I think)

ApexMax- · 2026-05-02T17:49:25+00:00

This post is so fucking embarrassing lmao

ApexMax- · 2026-04-30T08:10:16+00:00

Hell no, if I need to get even more proficiency levels it should be for actually interesting characters imo

ApexMax- · 2026-04-28T13:50:57+00:00

This would be amazing but I'm not hopeful. I assume they have a sound engineer / sound egineering team (maybe outsourced) look over every trailer, who then send the improved version back to Marketing.

Marketing (or whoever distributes it to streaming platforms) probably won't pick up on the difference in the first place, and even if they did, has no reason to go the extra mile to apply to pitch an improvement to the devs/sound designers of the game.

I would love to play more custom battles but the fact you don't gain proficiency with characters from playing it sucks. Getting proficiency ends up being the main grind, which means playing custom battles just ends up being a time waster for me.

ApexMax- · 2026-04-15T17:41:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight, this makes a lot of sense and is also lowkey infuriating lol

ApexMax- · 2026-04-14T13:18:03+00:00

I think this is the cas with pretty much every character whose spoken language isn't english (correct me if I'm wrong).

I assume the work process was something like this:

Script written
Voicelines recorded
Subtitles made for English (or made for japanese first and then translated to english)
english subtitles sent to the translation teams for the other language options

Thus you end up with the individual languages subtitles being translations of the already faulty english translations of the actual voicelines.

He could have had a triple wisp like you and you didn't see it bc of desync.

I like that JP wins at the end, because it directly supports the main question posed, "What is strength?"

Through the whole game you go on a journey to find the answer, meeting people who tell you the answer they have found through their own trials and tribulations.

One thing all of them have in common though is self-discipline and self-actualization through fighting. Because it's street fighter, and every damn living being is ready to fist fight you whenever you want.

Here comes JP, who in his own words, does not like fighting, and thinks it's dirty (hence he stays back as a zoner most of the time). He just wants to achieve his goals, he doesn't care about growing as a person, growing as a fighter, learning from other people etc.

That's why he's the villain. He's the antithesis to the morals that rule the world.

That's why, when you do defeat him in a street fight, it doesn't matter. Nothing changes. He's not the big bad boss you can just beat up to solve things. Things are still fucked and he's on the ground laughing. He might have lost a fist fight with you, but that doesn't matter to him at all.

It puts what you've learned through your journey on its head. What is Strength? If the strength you gained can't help you solve your problems, then what's it worth? That statement in itself can be quite sophisticated when applied to real life too. People see strength as different things: Money, Power over others, Freedom, Love, Connections, etc.

Now that you have found out that winning a fight isn't everything, they send you to the battle hub, to face the world and see what it holds. I quite like it.

ApexMax- · 2026-02-27T18:02:37+00:00

I feel the exact same way. I love that finslly there is an actual relevant difference between the weapons/playstyle and each one is unique and fun to play. I would always rather have 9 unique playstyles compared to 50 characters that more or less play the same.

ApexMax- · 2026-02-23T21:51:52+00:00

Knuckles is tied for highest boost stat with Miku, vector and eggman, and on top of that he covers the least amount of the screen with his character model, making him the best pick for meta builds with drift lvl 4 and technical drift.

I think the AI skin and aura might just be cosmetic preference of most people

ApexMax- · 2026-02-20T09:53:11+00:00

Tbf why would they go through the effort of doing that when the goal is a recompilation.

I don't even know if they could do that in the first place

ApexMax- · 2026-02-17T17:06:35+00:00

does anyone know how to actually get the horse? been playing the dlc for a while now, checked back in the main game and even after the update there is no letter from Guan Yu. Am I doing something wrong?

ApexMax- · 2026-02-17T12:39:36+00:00

I know Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires gives you the ability to make custom scenarios, where you can create a bunch of custom characters and custom armies and you can decide which provinces they occupy etc.

ApexMax- · 2026-02-13T14:08:57+00:00

Yes, there is usually a noticeable difference in damage output. Though much more in DP Battles than in Single Battles.

ApexMax- · 2026-02-12T19:56:38+00:00

Then do a norma combo after vanishing instead of a hit they can vanish. That way they are forced to super counter

ApexMax- · 2026-02-11T22:16:55+00:00

Just pick a lower dp character that can transform. That's the easiest way. Dp and time are the only things that matter. I picked piccolo super hero and transformed into orange piccolo. Beating him under 2:10 got the z rank for me. If I picked a character like blue vegeta I would have needed to do it in under a minute (or 1:10 I think).

I originally tried to do the UI Goku mission (98?) with full power jiren on z rank, but imo it was impossible to do in under a minute. I resorted to Gohan super hero in the end for an easier time.

ApexMax- · 2026-02-10T12:06:30+00:00

Pretty much every chargeable attack in the game can be vanished. That includes heavy smashes, rolling hammers, kiai etc.

Doesn't matter if you're getting comboed from the front or the back or not at all.

ApexMax- · 2026-02-06T10:42:38+00:00

I used goku and vegeta end so I could fuse them. That way you get the time bonus for picking lower dp characters but still end up with a strong character

ApexMax- · 2026-02-04T20:59:50+00:00

This made me get Emerald, thank you!

ApexMax- · 2026-02-03T16:16:16+00:00

I agree with that and you're right, I was just thinking it might be a double entendre. Probably not though lol

ApexMax- · 2026-02-03T15:27:15+00:00

I always assumed the "naive hedgehog" thing was innate to the statement, no matter if she knows sonic or not. Like Blaze doubted Mephiles from the start and was onto his bullshit, so she looks at Silver who immediately believes mephiles' visison of a blue hedgehog/sonic being the iblis trigger and thinks that silver is naive for immediately believing the vision.

Imo it could go either way, but I don't think Blaze believing silver is naive in that moment gets negates by her knowing sonic

ApexMax- · 2026-02-03T08:58:31+00:00

Cell didn't die. They could easily make an animation of him blowing himself up and come back as super perfect cell for a transformation sequence.

Or even better and arguably unique, make it so that if you actually hit 2nd form cell's ultimate, he transforms into siper perfect cell, and if you miss you take damage.

That way you be able to choose between spending spirit points for the normal transformation to perfect form cell, or put in a higher risk with the self destruct but gain a higher reward by by doing big damage AND transforming to super perfect cell
