I planned to write a review but I don't see myself writing it in the near future so I put everything here.
I've never played
OMKX (Xbox 360). I always play the game in Hard mode. I don't use Princess Mode.
Changes
- The game version of OMKC is 2.0. (The original game was updated to 1.10)
- The default settings of a match is 2 life bars (yellow and red) and 2 rounds a game. The timer is 120. I prefer 3 bars with timer 180 (original format) because I think it's the right pace.
- I feel that there're changes in Damage Scaling but I can't prove it. Long combos get less damage reduction than version 1.10.
- I tested some simple combos and most of them do exactly the same damages as ver. 1.10. (See the old numbers in the older posts.)
- Virgilia does less damages. Her L>M>H>crH>MIS>Meta>Odin does 1862 instead of 2070.
- The AI of the old characters are a bit improved, but still too easy in Hard mode. Erika, Dlanor, Rosa are okay. I just hope some of them object or declare Metaworld more often.
- The Meta clock will continue in the next round.
- The new Down Attack doesn't break the game as I was worried. You can follow with an attack only for a second after a knockdown. You don't get an easy big juggle.
- Midair Guard can't block everything. It blocks normal attacks and some special attacks. This's a good news since it keeps this game rushdown-friendly.
- The SP consumption of the 2nd Meta Objection is reduced from 3 to 2.
- Some stages and moves are altered. (Battler's Meta Blue Truth graphics, etc.)
- I still can't tell the difference between Guard Touch and Guard Touch Forward. The graphics look the same. I only know that one or both of them gives you a big frame advantage not found in the old version.
- You still can escape a throw even when stunned in this version.
- Black Battler (normal version) recovers from dizzy faster.
Arcade mode (story mode)
- If you pick certain teams, it'll have deeper story and CG ending. There'll also be credit roll. Normal ending is just a picture of gold ingot, no system voice unlock, and it'll send you back to the title screen.
Record
This's a real nice feature. It keeps tracking many stats.
- Your fastest clear time in story of all characters.
- Character usages, in times and percentage.
- Your max combo of all characters.
- Your max damages of all characters.
- Your online records (characters, play, win, lose, draw, disconnect)
- Your RPs of all characters. (RP or Rating Point works like BP in SF4)
3 new stages
- Cathedral
- Prirate Ship
- Library
2 semi-new stages (from OMKX)
- School Festival (It's altered, and the default BGM is changed to
Tsurupettan from
Silver Forest. A collaboration.)
- Aquarium
Picture mode
Any illustration in loading screen or event CG you unlocked in the game will be here. There're 521 of them.
Black Battler
I finished story mode on Hard difficulty without continue or losing a round. (I didn't change anything in Config, it's still 2 rounds a game.) After the ending CG, Black Battler came out. He has 8 abilities activated before the fight, during his Meta, and before the next round. His partner is himself in different color. The AI is also good. Apparently it's a joke last boss that you're not supposed to win. If you lose, there's no continue. I heard that even one of the finest OMK players couldn't beat him, too.
I tried to unlock him but it's not until I finished the story mode using Battler and Beatrice team. (no round lost, no continue) I didn't try Easy and Normal so I don't really know the conditions.
