Akatsuki Blitzkampf: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Akatsuki Blitzkampf is a [[doujinshi]] [[Fighting Game]] developed by Subtle Style. The game is set in a fictional future (year 266X AD), and involves characters that more or less ~~ressembles~~ the German soldiers of [[World War II]]. Contrary to most doujin fighting games out there, Akatsuki [[Gratuitous German|Blitzkampf]]'s playstyle is regarded as old-school and quite reminiscent of the fighting games [[Capcom]] produced during the 90's, including parries similar to the ones seen in the [[Street Fighter]] III series.

=== These games provide examples of: ===

Line 21:

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Anonym uses a pair of [[Cool Guns|chrome-plated Webley revolvers]].

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Fritz uses a katana to fight, and while he can't go for long combos, every hit causes [[For Massive Damage|massive damages]]. Murakumo also uses a katana, but only for one special move and his Super.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Apparently, ''EN-Eins Perfektewelt''. Sure, ~~nazis~~ are still involved, but it suddenly became a lot flashier and more colorful compared to [[Real Is Brown|the previous versions]], culminating with a playstyle shift into more combo-heavy-involved in a vein of [[Marvel vs. Capcom]] or just about a majority of doujin fighters. [[Broken Base|Some people]] [[Ruined FOREVER|aren't that pleased]].

* [[Magic Skirt]]: Mycale, who probably has the most magical skirt of all, considering the hemline ends just below the crotch and it somehow still doesn't show anything.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Subverted. She may have [[Ms. Fanservice|the look]] down pat, but Marilyn Sue is not a canon [[Mary Sue]]. Her role in the plot is mainly to serve as a pain in Akatsuki's ass and a walking pair of breasts that can hurt you <ref>In keeping with the ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' parallel, she splits the "Zangief" role with Wei, in that both are strength-based fighters who have their own agenda and aren't interested in the main conflict at all. Just like how Zangief wants to prove himself the strongest man alive and couldn't care less about that Shadaloo and Psycho Drive hoo-ha, Marilyn Sue doesn't give a crap about super-soldiers or world conquest and just thinks stealing the Blitz Engine would be a great career move.</ref>. Besides, the concept of a [[Mary Sue]] is very (''very'') familiar to the Japanese, but the specific term [[Mary Sue]] isn't. She was most likely named Marilyn in honor of [[Marilyn Monroe|a certain legendary sex symbol]], and [[Rule of Cute|"Sue" just sounds cute when appended to a girl's first name.]]

Line 29:

* [[Nazi Zombies|Nazi Zombie]]: Adler looks like an undead version of Elektrosoldat. Later versions give him a different look from his unit, by giving him different standing, crouching and walking animations, and an evil grin.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The first version had a brutally hard Murakumo. Later versions toned down his AI heavily.

* [[No Swastikas]]: Subverted. The "~~nazi~~" characters aren't actually called Nazis, nor do they have any of the Nazi regalia other than the general layout of their uniforms. The subversion comes when you see Elektrosoldat win a match, salute<ref>Not THAT salute, thankfully.</ref> and yell "Sieg Heil!" Yep.

* [[Palette Swap]]: Adler in the first versions of the game, and Perfecti before the Ausf. Achse (arcade) version of the game.

* [[Putting on the Reich]]: Murakumo, Elektrosoldat, and Adler, and to a lesser extent Kanae and Akatsuki (the game's ''hero'') as well. Justified in the cases of Adler and Elektrosoldat, who actually ''are'' Nazis. Later on, Perfecti joins in on the fun in Ausf Achse.
