WHAT IS THIS GAME DOING?! Bleach Gameplay Breakdown

[@reggitopia]

“Complicated for no reason” or a Bleach game for Bleach fans? I wonder 💀 Nobody bats an eye when you have to charge your “chakra” to use “Jutsu” but when you have to deplete your opponent’s “Reishi” to break their “Konpaku” it’s complicated?

This game system works similar to a fighting game named "Toy Fighter". This fighting game is different from the rest because it also has a stock system. You lose 1 stock if your hp bar is depleted with a normal move, you lose two if you get killed by a throw and finally you lose 3 if you get killed by a super move.

[@francoandreparraflores1491]

@@Kojikeefy Not quite. If you watch the gameplay, normal moves does damage to the hp bar and in dissidia you can't deal damage to your opponent unless you do a specific attack. It works more like Toy fighter because depending of what attack you do, you will deplete more stocks of your opponent. The glowing bars are the stocks that you can deplete with a normal attack from what i understand, but if you do a special attack that bar goes up to +1 and instead of 2 now he loses 3. This mechanic applies to the awakening too making all the attacks on awakening deal +1 stock and both can stack, that's why at the end of the trailer Ichigo deals an attack that makes him lose 4 stocks (base 2 stocks + 1 awakening + 1 special move).

After looking into that, we were surprised by how the worldview had been created in detail and how well those features aligned with our game concept and the fighting action genre. For example, konpaku, which represents the concept of the soul in Bleach, is constructed with reishi. Drawing inspiration from that concept, we set reishi as a health gauge in the game, and players can break the konpaku to decrease reishi," he added." We introduced systems that allow players to experience reversals such as breaking konpaku with a single strike or enhancing power through transformations to facilitate breaks.” Everything else is just IGN giving their own analysis of the game.

i think at 8:48, the reason why Ichigo loses 4 bars is because the orange represent how many they would lose if hit by a special. And Ichigo's "hp" was really low, so it possibly took another bar because the meter was so close to being empty

[@IppoX90]

No, I think it shaved 4 away because Byakuya hit his konpaku with Senkei.

[@josuemarte23]

Good catch

[@WukongMods]

thats exactly why, i think the video is poorly edited cus the points where they break to do a special is cut from different gameplay because byakuya and ichigo dont have meter when that break happens so my guess is that you can deplete the bar that removes 1 then they go into a break state and you can spend meter to do more konpaku dmg thats why the number of konpaku lost is always 1 more than the glowing orange shows because its not counting the one you break through fighting

[@BNRanger]

After watching this with Globku I have some guesses on how the systems work. 1. The orange health bars are what you'll lose if you lose all your hp. So if you're dropped to zero by a basic combo you'll lose the orange health HOWEVER by using those special moves they talk about in the trailer you actually take an extra life. So at the start Ichigo takes three because his final hit is that special hit, taking the 2 orange PLUS the extra one for doing the special. 2. The two types of reverses will work slightly like the awakenings in the Demon Slayer game. You have the yellow one which, yes, gives you health regen and maybe helps you escape an attack but might reduce your damage or reduce how quickly you gain meter (obviously the nerf part is a complete guess) while the red reverse is an offensive one, one that may increases damage and meter gain, meaning an easier time taking extra stocks/lifes. Essentially what I'm assuming is your gonna reverse to either gain the advantage in life or gain the advantage of higher damage and use it to take more lifes. Anyway that's what I'm thinking after watching the trailer and obviously all guesses. Thanks for reading if you actually took the time.

Around 12:20 Yes you can see in this gameplay that after Byakuya has awaken the Fighting Spirit bar(Awaken bar) keeps building up, so this means that they can keep growing, but we still don't know what makes it grow, it look like damaging Ichigo make it change, but we don't know exactly how it works, it's probably the state of you Konpaku(Lives) plus whatever percentage increase while you do damage to your opponent or are damage by them.

I'm guessing it's something where you can use Super Special Moves to take away your opponent's "Konpaku" (Lives/Stocks) regardless of their "Reishi" (HP), and you can reduce their "Reishi" to stun them and unleash a special move to eliminate a large amount of their "Konpaku" I forget what this game reminds me of, but there have been a few similar fighting games back in the day where damage isn't always the best path to victory

[@m3tl1kv3e9]

Toy Fighter or something.

[@HollowG8]

​@@m3tl1kv3e9 yeah, or its predecessor There was a lot of experimentation back in the day, where basic attacks were just one step on the grind to the W

[@DoesntMatter23]

I believe it’s pretty strait-forward. Each fighter has 9 health bars. Depleting 1 health bar gives you the opportunity to perform and land a super move that immediately depletes 2-3 additional healths bars. This equates to roughly three rounds. The only penalty for missing your opportunity to perform a super move or your opponent blocking your super move is that you will have to deplete an additional health bar before the opportunity reoccurs. Leaving aside the developer’s creative vision, it seems to me that this mechanic is to increase the dramatic flair and feel of the game without requiring higher technical skill. You don’t have to horde resources or time a super move with a specific combo because the game does it for you.

[@romusa10]

- Pretty straight forward - Proceed to write a whole paragraph Lol, jk

[@BramTheDemon]

So far, it's shaping up very nicely. When I heard they were making a Bleach arena fighter, I thought they would have cheapened out on it since it's not Dragon Ball or One Piece, but both the visuals and animation look fantastic. I'm also liking its gameplay. Instead of going for a straightforward arena fighter like Sparking Zero, they're instead using aspects of the anime and manga to spice up the formula a bit. Also, props to them for dubbing it, unlike with every One Piece game!

[@tnuhenaj3752]

The 2 flashing bars is most likely indicating how many konpaku you lose if you get hit with a soul destruction attack at that moment. If you deplete the health bar the attack takes away an extra stock so 3 in total. Then if you use bankai your soul destruction takes an extra stock too. So if you deplete health bar and use bankai your attack takes 4 stocks total. You don't see the konpaku bar after the health is depleted so you don't see it but if you did you probably would see 4 bars blinking. or 3 if not in bankai. I assume depleting health bar gives you a free unavoidable gikon attack too. Whereas if you use them raw they hopefully are so easy to avoid. This trailer also shows characters standing on air in the same stage so i was wrong. its not that some stages are set with an invisible floor high in the air. You can go up during the fight somehow. With so much emphasis on transformations for every character orihime really might not be playable. Also that might mean the roster is very small. Hope neither of those is true.

So one thing I noticed is if you take 9 lives, and subtract by 3 that's 3 'rounds', but if you subtract by 4 that's still 3 'rounds'. So I wonder if characters will be based around that at all. Like a fast character can drain your life but only takes 1 life at a time, while a chunky character may be slower and less combos but can take 4 or even 5 lives in one go with the right moves. So it'll be a choice of using a 'better' character but needing to go through a full 9 'rounds' or a 'weaker' character that can do it in 2.

Around 5:25 So according to some research i made, if you use a Soul Break, you take more Konpaku(lives) out of your opponent, and the more you use the Soul Brake to break the Konpaku the more damage it does, and this has to be done when Now or Never appears on the screen.

[@DarkEdge1231]

If I had to break it down individually then it would be something like this You have 4 basic skills (tied to probably holding a trigger or shoulder button). 2 skills are offensive based and 2 are utility based (it’s seems all characters might have the same utility skills since Flash Step in Bleach is an ability everyone can use even if the names are different like Sonido and Flash Step appears to be a super dash and Reverse Action seems to be an universal action). Offensive skills are tied to the yellow meter and it builds by doing basic attacks and it starts are zero. Utility skills are tied to the white meter with Reverse next to it and it’s always full but using those skills drains it. Reversal Action seems to drain it a lot and Reversal Action could be a boost mode or You have 1 super move that can deal a significant amount of Konpaku stocks which could be influenced maybe. And lastly you have basic attacks and combos. Whether the game uses 1 button or 2 or even 3 for basic attacks is still yet to be seen. But they seem to show both Ichigo and Byakuya in their base forms using a solid amount of attacks that aren’t their offensive skills so you seem to have a decent amount of basic attack options. I can assume we have a guard button and guard is tied to a meter of course. Not shown in this trailer or breakdown but it seems all characters have a counter move or there is an universal counter mechanic. There appears to be side stepping and the movement mechanics seem more grounded and less highly mobile like Storm or Sparking (but not enough to be shown). And then you have Evolutions which are Awakenings more so than Storm these might drastically change the Moveset of every character. They seem to run on a meter seemingly so the mode could run out. Seems they’re tied to your health or Konpoku stocks. It seems the focus of the combat is fight, do combos to build your offense meter to use offensive skills (since they deal a shit load of damage) and carefully manage your Reverse meter to use your utility or reserve skills well them effectively. Blocking and counters are apart of the equation. Build up your super move (not sure how you do that) to remove a lot of Konpaku damage. Go Evolution if health or Konpaku stocks is low. Seems like a solid back and forth style combat loop. It will boils down to how balanced the mechanics, how the combat and movement feels, and the variety of options and most importantly how good is the online and the features it offers.

Haven’t actually watched globkus analysis yet. But my thoughts and takes from this is wow, it looks amazing. So the konpaku truthfully is either health bars, lives or rounds. If you look at the top white bar below the Konpaku gauge you can see that it goes down when being attacked. That is the health bar. So it’s traditional in that sense. But it seems the Konpaku is actual the amount of Health bars the character has strangely enough. The game looks really good, fluid combos really solid attack animations and my god this gives me straight up Sparking Zero vibes with the aesthetic with a small hint of guilty gear in its presentation. I am really looking forward to seeing more of this!

[@chromeclaw2171]

I have a theorie about the reishi (life) bar. The long bar is the current reishi life in use, which is your health bar, the other two bars which blink orange are full health bars in play as well, so in total you are playing in the first round with ichigo and byakuya on a 3 hp bar in place. As you mentioned, when you power up with your bankai, you gain the possiblity to take an additional health bar down on defeat. With that in mind, here are my uneducated guesses about the reishi bar situation. 1. There will be different types like speed, power, defense and so on 2. Each type will start with different konpaku (life) values. For example. Defense type will have 12 bars while speed type only will have 6 or 8. 3. Depending on the character type, you will take away more or less life bars from your enemy in exchange for risking more or less konpaku on each of your defeats Final wild conclusion. There will be some kind of balancing rule in place where one type can take down one or two of your lifes away fast but also loses a higher count of lifes on each defeat. But that would be some wild mechanic stuff there, so i suggest it will be decided by RNJesus about how much you lose each fight :D Let me know what you guys think about my written fever dream. And as always, my accent is hard kicking and it needs some correction, so feel free to do so :)

[@jessetate9701]

Apparently this guy never watched bleach lol

[@coolguywhatever4449]

"making up words" truly dub bleach enjoyer right here

[@ironrex6979]

It sounds like the sum of all the previous Bleach into a new Bleach fighting game. Have you played Heat the Soul and Versus Crusade? I am hyped and want to let them cook. This game will be delicious!

[@Grimnoire]

Konpaku is just soul soul translated literally but with different context. Kon is the soul that travels to the afterlife, Paku is the soul that returns to the earth to join the cycle again. It's basically the combination of reincarnation and afterlife concepts bleach often uses.

[@RivelioMugen]

I REALLY like it to be honest. It's actually much more straightforward than what I was fearing: You start with an HP bar and 9 Lives. Every time you knock down your rival's HP, you also deplete a number of their lives that varies depending on the last attack used. Since there were usually 2 flashing orange "stocks" for most of the fight, I'd say that's what you normally take away if you knock your rival down with a plain normal attack, with 3 being what you take away if you use a Special attack instead (since there was always a little cinematic move shown in the trailer at those moments). Now, when you Awaken, 3 stocks now flash orange on your rival's side, showing that now you take a minimum of 3 lives per regular knockdown, and a whooping 4 if you used a cinematic/Special attack, in addition to (I assume) dealing extra HP damage as well. That's all I gathered both from your analysis and from the trailer itself, and I really hope it is the case because it makes SO much sense that way. (Also yeah they made it all look more complicated than it really is by throwing in those untranslated terms for no reason. I may have understood them, but that's not for being Bleach fan, but because I'm a Bleach NERD 😂)

[@3slicessenpai]

The comparison to Dissidia is really apt. I put many hours into Dissidia Duodecim, because the battle system was simple to get into, but had complexity to it as well and a real "slow and steady vs betting it all on one big move" flow to it. I don't mind these fighting games that try to divert from the norm, implementing shields instead of HP or be point-based, as long as they're fun. Dissidia was fun because landing lots of Bravery Attacks actively put your opponent at a disadvantage; meanwhile in JJK Cursed Clash, you could wail on the opponent with normal attacks all you want but only HP attacks will do significant change on the opponent. Bleach Rebirth of Souls seems to be leaning more into the Dissidia flow stated above and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[@illadelph42]

Konpaku means Soul 👍

[@so0meone]

I think the orange blinking lives are the ones that your opponent loses if you just deplete the health bar normally and the reason Byakuya lost 3 is because his health bar was depleted by a special. I think the Bankai we see later that take 4 do that because they're supers, which would logically take 4 if normals take 2 and specials take 3.

[@kinghashbrown7998]

these anime games are looking incredible visual wise recently

[@kennethbrown1210]

“Maybe masked ichigo is a step above..” bro didn’t watch till the end.

[@m3tl1kv3e9]

Rebirth of Souls HUD/UI is Awesome and Stylish Big and the gameplay is mindblowing Peak can't wait to play the Bleach Console Fighters.

[@ScientologyHunter2]

I´m happy it seems to be pretty unique for an anime fighter...the animations and graphics also actually look pretty good unlike most anime games...it obviously won´t be a massive success (simply because all those generic anime games ruined the reputation of anime games in general) and depending when it´s gonna release it´s going to be overshadowed by sparking zero I hope it does well enough tho...would suck if it would fail after waiting over a decade for a game

[@kilopopki4947]

It’s not really unique. Just explained in weird way

[@aperson793]

This game looks so fun to play, I'm so excited to get my hands on it whenever it comes out!

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

Around 4:11 Reishi is a term of the manga which can be roughly translated to Spirit Particules, this is what makes up everything in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo and other spiritual realms, is rare to find in the Human world, because the human world is make out of a different type of particule that can't interact with the spiritual one unless, the Konpaku, the essencial component that makes the soul which without it there isn't a soul, Reishi can be taken a shell for the Konpaku, so what the metters say is you damage the shell of your oponnent enough until you can begin damaging their Konpaku. the key component that makes a soul in the world of Bleach, what makes the enemy alive AKA their life bar. This is a rough explanation from a Chud Manga fan, and no, the manga doesn't easily explain this to you, you have to pay attention try to sit down and think about what's being said, because Tite Kubo is such a chud that he thinks that anyone that reads his works has a brain so they are smart.

[@alphatokes3019]

L take man. Don’t leave a review if you’ve never watched or read the anime/manga

[@s.o.s.pnaruto9523]

Stop disrespecting Jonny Young Bosh. The dub is awesome!

[@ihavenonamestilldonthaveon8970]

You cant handle basic anime nomenclature? You need to deal man, this isn't that complicated.

[@lunarlegend8924]

if you know what "shikai" "bankai" whatever is them calling your health resources "reishi" and "konpaku" shouldn't really be an issue. it's just putting a lore theme on the gauges to give the game more character.

[@WispyAurora]

im gonna have fun with it tbh

[@aj_fry3339]

For those who don’t know konpaku refers to the souls that are in the living world or the rukongai area of the soul society.

[@night_shaded_wolfshade7745]

Until I get my hands on this game i want to reserve judgement. But i played Soul Ressurecion and that has the bar set high for me

[@QGUU]

That game is dogshit tbh

[@symphonixblades]

in an interview the game director said they took mechanics from other games like the parry is based on Sekiro, reversals from TEKKEN and the health stacks I believe he said Smash Bros Also all the terms used are not invented, they are the Japanese terms from Bleach, they are using the Japanese names not the English ones

[@h0110wkn1ght-y]

Please bandai let this game be good

[@destroyermcw626]

Bandai is just the publisher

[@dnbgaming12345]

I think the “now or never” is gonna be something like if you miss it you will only take one stock from your opponent

[@Black_Dragon_Official_Channel]

People hating on this is crazy😂😂 They really be finding any and everything to hate on I respect the grind to be reverse flash but even he hates on only one thing

[@phoenixxamvs1170]

The gameplay seems a little weird, interesting, but weird. Game looks gorgeous tho

[@KCaldwellBlue]

Ain’t never heard someone call the “X” button “Cross” 😂

its literally always been called that officially

They need to change the color of those health bars, they dont pop out

[@beatrixkaelin5120]

From what it looks like, there's the EX Bar is for super moves, the White Bar is for Defense moves, but we didn't see special moves, like everyone was doing basic combos the entire time. Uh...l Another Arena fighter: Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi, The Blast Stock was for Special Buffs and defensive moves, but also let you access your ultimate finisher, while you had a separate bar for special attacks. Something about Wielding doesn't sound.... like a special move, more like it's a buff? Like Byakuya's was "Seal: SenbonZakura" and "That won't Touch me." I know full well that they would not refuse us Getsuga Tenshou. So where is that? Perhaps it's part of a combo, perhaps it's a different button input. Dragon Ball Xenoverse does that, with one button dedicated to super moves and buffs, and a different button combo showing your defensive move, transformation, and ultimates. The whole Konpaku Gauge and Reishi gauge makes me feel that perhaps your Special moves will cost your "HP" like an old Dragon Ball Z Fighting game Hyperdimension for the Super Nintendo. Meaning the Konpaku drop fast, but you probably have a means to restore Reishi Guage mid combat, since there's a specific "Break Zone" where you can finish the Konpaku Gauge off at using an EX Move. Also, It looks like from the few bits of combat we do see, they only move forward and back, perhaps it's more akin to a 2.5D fighter like Soul Calibur or Tekken than a full blown "Run wherever you want" Arena fighter like Ninja Storm or literally every other Shonen fighter nowadays. The Reason I say that, is because it feels like, with an EX Meter and a Burnout Meter, a Guard Meter that can be crushed, feels like a 2D fighter like Streetfighter or 3v3 fighters like Marvel vs Capcom. Especially since besides the Shunpo that puts you behind your opponent, the Reverse Action seems to put you into a Burst/X-Factor State like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Marvel Vs Capcom. It feels like it could be trying to be new and unique, jamming everything that seems to work into a single fighting game and hoping it'll work. We'll see more, soon hopefully.

[@Londinium09]

Well, it seems that the gameplay is more than just "beat your opponent 2 times and win" like most games in which you take the health bar 2 times and thats it. Reminds me like DBZ games with more than 1 health bar, but yeah, how many you take away is not really clear, because taking 2 by just basic attacks makes it weird that they have so many but what do i know.

[@JoeInTheElement]

Love Sparking Zero. Have always been vying for another sequel in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. But the difference in quality and depth of gameplay bw the latest and last Bleach fighting/action games is larger than the difference bw the latest and last Budokai Tenkaichi games. I am maybe more excited for this game now than i am for Sparking Zero

[@blazeknight2629]

Feel like points would be smt like 2 points base if you kill with any standard attack, like heavy or light attacks 3 points if you kill with a special or in evolution 4 points if you kill with an ultimate or with a special in evolution 5 points(maybe) if you kill with an ultimate while in evolution

[@StrawHatCentral]

The Multiple health bars and the size of the normals tells us a lot about the games design philosophy. On a base level the devs expect you to get clipped a lot. The range, speed, and distance covered even on whiff is about to be crazy. Getting multiple chances to continue fighting via multiple health bars allow for these crazy normals to exist without breaking the game. The other positive to creating a game that allows you to get hit a lot is the freedom the devs get on normals and specials This game will feel like bleach and be fun for people even if they aren’t really into fighting games. This is normally a double edged sword though. The upside of your moves whiff canceling, being fast, and going mad far is that you don’t get punished as hard for pressing buttons. It protects people from the mistake of whiffing. Not being punished as hard and being protected from whiffing = fun for people that might not have a lot of experience. The downside is that you’re not gonna be able to whiff punish shit in this type of system. So the game is gonna be very unga where people just do shit which can be fun but also suck for people that value commitment, punishing, and the base mind games around footsies.

[@SNSsack]

it reminds me of yugioh life points instead of rounds the little point gauge you lose one for every round you lose and lose 3 for losing a round with a super tho u could be wrong

[@ivorydavis3870]

This one is different but I like it this way

[@SNSsack]

1 for every normal loss 3 for losing to a ult skill 4 for losing to a awakened ult skill

[@zackwyatt169]

this is really different from your traditional arena fighter and im all for it
