Asura's Wrath

No, sadly.

Then I'm just gonna go with the Sun replacing Gaea in that size reference shot in the game until further notice, since a) I don't think the Sun is a speck of dust compared to him, and b) that would still make his mass around 330,000 times greater than that of the Earth.

A pachinko machine was announced.

Hmm, maybe capcom has some faith in the ip after all.

Goddamnit Kona.... Capcom!?

Eh, I don't mind. Pachinko is pretty popular in Japan.

It's why the anime of Garo got a second season, after all.

Plus, the graphics they use for when you get something on the machine look pretty little damn good, at that.

Some of the pachinko game footage:

I will say, if Asura's wrath were ever remade, I would like to have a scene similar to the Asura vs. Olga fight from the pachinko cutscenes happen as a What If scenario ( It looks like it takes place the Kalrow fleet fight from the original game).

I was not expecting new footage.

That's pretty awesome.

Indeed.

One of them seems to be a what if the fight with the Gohma Striker was animated in game instead of being made into a Yaru Dora styled DLC game.

Am I the only one to feel that his Creator form is actually weaker than his previous forms (Fingerbusting aside)? It needs Destructor form to harm his human form.....His Creator takes Asura's only base form to defeat (Even with unused Mantra Reactor combined power....as his aura's going back to red) and he seems to tire out quicker....compared to his human form who took 3 Destructor Bursts, and still gets up quicker than Creator when he failed his QT Es. Lastly...Asura, in his base form is able to send Creator flying with his blows (Before being weakened), when Destructor Asura still can't send his human form flying except with his 2 last Bursts (Shoryuken and the punch barrage).

The reason why it seems like is because Asura anger is growing so great that the other mantras I the reactor can't keep up, which is why he went back to plain ol wrath mantra during the creator form fight.

Also, I think the game looks good in last gen unreal engine.

Imagine Cyber Connect 2's unique style of animation with Unreal Engine 4 being used for a remake of the game....

One can dream but it will probably never happen, nor would we see any follow-up. The game did not sell very well which is why any work for a sequel was scrapped and it became the DLC.

True. There could always be a Spiritual Sucessor, someday.

You can kill any God in any form if you're angry enough.

Indeed.

Asura must be SOOO angry when it's revealed that Golden Spider is the Big Bad, yet he still can't even harm him

That's because his anger ended up working against him, because he doesn't have a Mantra Reactor of his own to regulate his power. That the Karma Fortress's Mantra Reactor and Yasha's own Reactor allowed him to empower himself with all of the other Mantras was simply a bonus; the regulation thing was still the more crucial element to his ability to stand toe to toe with Chakravartin.

Checking Characters.Asuras Wrath for an unrelated purpose led me to discover that someone added in entries claiming that Emperor Strada was planning for a mass exodus of his people to another planet as a solution to the constant threat of the Gohma (basically, go where the baddies can't reach you), and that hearing of this plan was the final straw that drove Deus to kill Strada and take over Shinkoku.

Any actual sources for this? I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the game, as the only thing Strada ever said on the matter was that he a complacent attitude towards the status quo, shooting down Deus's request for an immediate military build-up after Vlitra's latest suppression to prepare for its return in favor of letting the people bask in the temporary peace they bought for themselves.

it should look be in the extra materials of the Official complete works, i believe.

Which I do not have access to yet. Figures.

On a different note, I do wonder about the Mantra affinities... Why are "Violence" and "Vanity" split from "Wrath" and "Pride"? Does it perhaps relate to Buddhism, since it's one of the major themes in the game?

Vanity is one of the four noble truths of Buddhism.

... You sure? Because according to Wikipedia, the Four Noble Truths are "pain", "origin of pain", "cessation of pain", and "path to cessation of pain".

if this game got a remake...how's the gameplay system should be implemented? (proper video game one, not current uninspired one for Enjoy the Story, Skip the Game)

Damn it, I thought there was something new for Asura.

Well I like Kingdom Hearts 3 so far so I never really had a problem with Asura's Wrath Gameplay. Except for the damn turtles.

Other than the Developers working an Action RPG for Dragon Ball, nothing new with Asura, though he is still one of the most consistently requested characters for Capcom Versus Whatever games.

But considering the state that series is in now, well....
