Weird Fighting Games - Glove On Fight
Ойындар
Episode 11 - Glove On Fight
In today's episode we'll be looking at a soft circle French bread game for the first time in weird fighting games. It's not Melty Blood but it's predecessor that may have influenced Melty Blood in more ways than one.
Welcome back to Type-Moon June. The yearly series in which we cover all things type-moon from Tsukihime to Fate and beyond. This time things will be more Tsukihime/Melty focused than last year but I have a little of everything.
Music used:
gimme curry, yummy curry, holy curry, mu-ha remaster - Glove On FIght
Select Jam Session GOF-Mix - Glove On Fight
We are so back. I don't have much to say this time. I should apologize that it's taken this long for me to get back to weird fighting games as the last episode was on Halloween of 2023. That is quite the gap but I have a couple of episodes outside of TMJ already scripted. so if Type-Moon isn't ' your forte you can at least look forward to that. I'm off to work on the rest of type-moon june but just remember that I apricate you all for watching, commenting, liking and of course reading :) Have a HAPPY TYPE MOON JUNE.

Just want to say that cats having eye lasers is a Dejiko thing and that Neco Arc is actually an homage to her.

Neat! I watched some of her show and she’s an alien too apparently. An alien cat adjacent creature. Also it made no sense
I think the final boss is a reference to the two grannies in groove on fight who are also taped together as they fight

I played some more groove on fight and you are correct. What a cool little reference
Glove on Fight walked so Gleam of Force could dash in and in-fight
very interesting its the same artstyle they used for ragnarok battle offline. i thought it was a ragnarok meme i didnt understand but i guess it was an early watanabe production thing

It’s a versatile art style I don’t blame them for reusing it considering you can take almost any character and put them in it while staying recognizable.
I tried gof2 and it was dumb fun. I never understood how sometimes you can 1 hit kill, and know you can block, win with life drain in the sequel. and it felt more like a 3d game how there were high low mids with markers.

That does sound interesting I’ll look at it eventually but for now I’m gloved out so to say.
Glove on Fight have the same art style like their other game before that - Ragnarok Offline. Ayaka with tied partner to her back is basically copy of character from same Groove on Fight who are two old sisters(grannies). They were two separated characters before in their own series. Original composer for GoF, Raito, have his own channel called "来兎 Raito". He gave interesting details about composing music for this game. Fox example, about intro OST he wrote this: "This is the first vocal piece I ever wrote. When I saw a flash video created by Harukaze Namikai, who is the base of this game, I thought, "I have no choice but to make a vocal song for this!"" You surely need to check GoF2. It's ont only more polished game but it also more fast, have more game mechanics and feels even more unique if we compare it with other fighting games.

I will check out gof2 because I want to eventually make the ultimate soft circle French bread history video. Ratio is truly the goat he remastered this game’s soundtrack which I used for this video. I also want to make a video on him because he’s so good at what he does but is so underrated. Many don’t even know they’re enjoying his songs. Didn’t know about the groove on fight thing, what a neat homage.

@@Drzuul I played GOF2 with few people. Before - it feels like very chaotic expirience to track all of this stuff. But when I actually gave it proper time with one guy few month ago - I understand it much more and can even react on some attacks. Multiplayer is working fine, but sometimes it can lag. Game balance is nasty with how you can quickly die from comeback mechanic

Was GoF2 French-Bread’s only original work other than UNI? Just curious.

Enough to fill next year’s Type-Moon June
Playing as an air-con mascot, of all things?! *_Now I've seen everything._* (Edit: I'm pretty sure Alice's penguin suit is a murder weapon.) But honestly, looking back at FB's pre-Melty works makes me view Dengeki Fighting Climax as partially a throwback to it's earlier days, in a sense. Silly, quirky crossover fighters that while simple, has a reasonable amount of depth behind them.

That’s a really good observation and I’m stealing it for when I talk about dengeki in 20 years from now.
oh yea, another great june coming in
To Heart... Oh yes, the franchise that eventually led to those awkardly titled blobbers by Sting that I still need to play.
It's still May 31st for me so I guess I'm celebrating early

It probably doesn't help that the follow up for Glove on Fight is called gleam on force
Ayu and Akiko both appear in a different obscure doujin fighting game called Eternal Fighter Zero. No relation to French bread as far as I can tell.

No relation but I’m just guessing these were popular characters back in the day. Ayu has actually been in multiple fighters but I won’t get ahead of myself

Is it possible for you to cover The Queen of Heart trilogy? Particularly, '98, '99, and Party's Breaker? I know there aren't any Type-Moon characters, but these games laid the groundwork for the Melty Blood games while using Leaf's and Aquaplus' characters. If you enjoyed Melty Blood and its sequels, I think you'll love QoH. QoH plays a lot like your typical Melty Blood game, but with 9-level super bars and no universal parry/block mechanic. '99 and Party's Breaker experimented with a fourth gameplay button in the form of Stands and Urgent Evasion respectively.

I actually found this game before. It's because of Raito, the goated composer of Melty Blood and Under Night did music for this game and i was hunting down his discography. But my fav song from this game is Blue Blue Bandanna and Raito didn't even do that one!

He even remastered glove on fight’s soundtrack years later and you can find it on his KZread channel. He’s honestly the goat.
HELL YEAH GOF MENTIONED By the way, I highly recommend trying out the sequel; GOF2 Gleam of Force. The impact on each hits is exhilarating and it's the most fun I've ever had with a fighting game. edit: Also, 3 random characters will pop out to judge if you timeout in this game. These characters(as far as I'm aware)are: Arcueid Len Penguins Puchiko Kamio Haruko from AIR Minase Nayuki from Kanon Higashihara Nonomi from Gunparade

In Akiha’s route Tsukihime she starts turning into a vampire. In one of the scenes Shiki runs into her right after killing someone, hands drenched in her blood. There is a corresponding sprite that’s pretty iconic so it gets referenced a lot
