Daemon Bride: Additional Gain and all related characters (c) 2009-2011, Examu. Introduction Daemon Bride: Additional Gain it's a fighting game developed and distributed by Examu, creators of the Arcana Heart series and the Ex-Board arcade system. The game features 14 playable characters and 3 special (hidden) alternative versions. I'm writing this faq because I think this game deserve it because it's a very good one. The fighting engine is good and the graphics are good too (under Blazblue standard). The animation it's sometimes choppy, but good in general. The backgrounds (very large) and the music are OK too. There probably a few mistakes about the basic controls; the names and the motion of the special moves, but I'm still working on it. Story Not so long ago, the world, our world, was sunk into chaos after a war between angels and devils. A breach, consequences of this conflict, opened on our world, plunging it into light and darkness. This parallel door between earth, heaven and hell appeared above a renowned Japan’s city: Tokyo, the capital. This catastrophe is best known as “Tokyo Big Incident”. The instability caused by this incident changed our world. It drove certain individuals to sign contracts with entities, some from the good side, and others from the evil side. The archangel Michael approached a student of Stella Academy, heaven’s hope, Kuon Sumeragi, to vanquish the chaos. But the traitor Lucifer, the angel banished from heavens, did the same with another student, Reizei Abane, a rival of Kuon. The fate of the world is in the hands of these two young men. And we still don’t know if the Earth will emerge in the light of heavens or in the darkness of hell. Basic Gameplay Button Layout Fd : Forward QCF : Quarter Circle Forward Df : Down-forward QCB : Quarter Circle Back Dn : Down HCF : Half Circle Forward Db : Down-back HCB : Half Circle Back Bk : Back DP : Dragon Punch motion Ub : Up-back RDP : Reverse Dragon Punch Motion Up : Up Uf : Up-forward Button A : Weak attack Button B : Strong attack Button C : Bride attack Button D : Boost General Moves Throw: Press AD near the opponent. Quick Recovery: Fd or Bk + A, B or C when knockdown to recover more quickly. Game specific Life Gauge: I don’t think you need explanation for that one. Engagement Gauge: It’s the heart under the Life Gauge. During the fight, the heart will fill gradually, giving a stock when full. There is four level of stock in all (1, 2, 3, MAX). More you accumulate stocks, more the attacks using the Bride button will be powerful. If you use a Bride Purge, you lose a stock. On the other hand, when you lose a round, you gain one at the beginning of the following round. Bride Gauge: It’s the blue bar at the bottom of the screen. This gauge will deplete when you’re using Boost, Bride Reflect and any of the Bride attack. If the gauge is completely empty, it becomes red and you can’t use any of the moves above for a while. So I suggest keeping an eye on it. Force Gauge: It’s the green bar under the Bride Gauge. It’s the standard Super Bar in most fighting games. You can accumulate three stocks in all. If you have at least a stock, you can make Bride Counter and Ex Special Moves. When you accumulated 3 stocks, Ultra Special Move is available. The Force Gauge fills up when you're using Special Moves, and when you hit the opponents or when they hit you. Boost: With the boost, your character can get through the shots of your opponent. On the other hand, if multiple shots are on the screen, more difficult it will be for you to get through all of it, unless your character is standing near the opponent. The use of the boost will deplete the Bride Gauge a little. Augmented Recovery: Press button D when knockdown to recover more quickly with a boost. The use of this technic will deplete the Bride Gauge a little. Bride Reflect: After blocking an attack, press buttons BC to reflect the opponent attack and pushing him back. The use of the Bride Reflect will deplete the Bride Gauge. Bride Aura: Press ABC when hit. Your character is surrounded by a shining light and your opponent is pushed away, giving you the opportunity to counterattack. The use of the boost will deplete the Bride Gauge more than the other technics. Bride Counter: After a successful block, press Fd + AB to counter your opponent’s attack with the help of your bride at the cost of one Force Gauge Stock. Ex Special Moves: If you perform a Special Move motion with A and B, this move will become an Ex Special Move at the cost of one Force Gauge Stock. Ultra Special Moves: This is a super attack. These attacks require a full Force gauge (three stocks). Like Special Moves, the properties and inputs vary depending on your character. Enter Climax: To execute this special technic, you need to be in the final round, have less than 20% of life and possess at least 3 stocks in your Engagement Gauge. To enter the Climax phase, press buttons ABC. The screen will flash and the background will change for a moment. In this phase, your character makes a little more damage and your Force Gauge fills more quickly. You can also do your Ultra Special Move even if the Force Gauge is not full. The move will be more powerful and it will involve your bride (it’s not the case normally). In fact, it’s like an EX Ultra Special Move. But if you use this super powerful move, Enter Climax ends automatically.
