Engun System

Engun summon -> Engun travelling -> Engun arrived -> Engun assessable


Engun start out at Lv.1 and level up automatically as time progresses. Engun Lv generally increase 1 Lv per second before Engun Summon.



The first time that you press the E button, you'll summon the engun and their level will be fixed at the current point for the rest of the match. A blue meter appears (with a horse) that indicates how much time remains until they arrive; the higher the Engun level, the longer this takes.



Once engun arrived, you will see this. Then a meter will appear below their portrait and you can use a variety of abilities as long as it isn't empty.


The strength of these abilities is influenced by the engun level as follows:

Level 1

Weak Engun Attacks. Only 1/3 of the engun meter available.


Level 50

Medium strength Engun Attacks. 2/3s of engun meter available.


Level 100

Maximum strength Engun Attacks. The entire engun meter is available for Engun abilities.




When you use an engun atttack, it depletes the meter. It fills up over time if you don't do any engun actions.



When Engun meter reaches MAX, that means you do Engun attacks three times in a row at maxmium (Lv 100).



A red 'X' appears over their portrait when engun abilities are unavailable (if the meter is empty, etc.)

High quality Sengoku Basara X anime demo:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=MUtmEOK98l4

I'd seen some screen shots of this but didn't know any of the details. It seems like Guilty Gear except with these "engun" things added. Looks nice but Arc fighters just have way too much crap going on for me to really get seriously into. I like the style and stuff, but all those meters are just too much.

i like the guy with the ginormous sword. what is this based off of? any background in any area before being a game or is this "original"?

cause for being original it sure has a lot of cliche shit going on. giant sword (cloud/ff7), some guy with like 6 swords (the pirate dude from one-piece) a pretty boy here a hot chick there. lol. looks like fun though. i'd like to try it. fighting games seem to be making a come back and i'm all for it no matter what it is.

If you ever played Sengoku Basara series for the PS2, then you will have an idea on what it is. Even though I don't understand Japanese, it's a very fun game. I never paid much attention to the story anyway. Although it becomes repetitive at some point , but still, it's fun to play.

Basically, it's like Dynasty Warriors except with crazy awesome uber haxor moves. They're based off the historical figures of Japan.

Most of the characters in Basara series are great! The fighting game doesn't cover all the characters in the Basara world. So it's worth checking it out.

nice. thanks for the explenation. so this is import only or i can expect to see it at my local stores soon?

Probably import only. If the game gets popular enough, you might be able to see in the local store too.

I really wished Capcom put all the characters in instead of others being a support character. :(

Me too! But Capcom already spent 8 months to beta test this game, I don't want to wait any longer because they found another "balance issue". Yes they delayed this game from December 2007 to April 2008 because they want to balance the characters more. Capcom take this game much more seriously than SF4 in terms of beta testing, lol! Well, if Basara X gets popular enough, expect the sequel coming soon.

Ieyasu will be kidnapped by ninjas constantly. A message will pop up in the back ground saying “Help me! Tadakatsu!” in Japanese. If you don't save Ieyasu then Honda loses many stuff such as boost gauge, all engun abilities, flying mode, floating bomb, lock on ability of normal bomb, etc for the rest of the match. In order to save Ieyasu, Honda has to hit those ninjas with specific moves before they take your engun out of the screen. The moves confirmed to work are: 6B, jump B, bombs, and Sengoku Drill. Once Honda knock out those ninjas, Ieyasu comes back as Honda’s engun again.

Very interesting guide, tianyuan2k4! I must commend you for your effort in making this mini-faq of sorts.
I've been checking on the game ever since it got it's section in Capcom of Japan's site but due to my lack of knowledge of the japanese language I couldn't read the special moves descriptions and such.
Anyway, after reading this, the game does seem very "gimmicky", besides the Engun system most characters seem to have some quite complex tricks to use in battle, from Nobunaga's souls, Oichi's status inflicting moves and Motochika's gold collecting.
With that said, few characters appear to be only about "straightforward fighting".
But it's good to see Arc System Works went and made up some crazy stuff because I was afraid this was just going to be Guilty Gear with Basara characters as it's not too difficult to draw parallelisms between rosters such as Hideyoshi/Potemkin, Oichi/Eddie, Motochika/May and Kenshin/Johnny.

I hope the game does get some success but mostly so it can get a more ambitious sequel because this game in itself seems very lackluster in terms of visuals and character roster and it also seemed to pick the worst possible time to be released as it has to compete with the likes of Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Soul Calibur IV, King of Fighters XII, Virtua Fighter 5 R and Arcana Heart 2 to point the most significant.
Also, I'm rather displeased with the game after hearing that my two favorites, Hideyoshi and Oichi, are the bottom tiers.

LOL, do not trust people from 2ch and the likes. The game is out like 3 days and you can never tell what is going to happen once the players figure out something new.
