QB Battle 22.2

Megaupload: App + Media (update) + Extra chars (update)
Sendspace: App + Media (update) + Extra chars (update)

Added the recent Yukimura Sanada, and the fanmade Black Widow (thanks again to Okami31):


Yukimura is short and her attacks are pretty weak, but her strong points (I think) are that she doesn't get disarmed easily (she gets no damage penalty for hitting with only one weapon), and that some of her moves give great score boosts for the next ones.

Note that I'll be on a work-related trip to the capital for the next several days, so I might not be able to fix any potential mistake until I come back.

Coming next: within a couple of days, the "guide for making custom characters", and for the next version, Taki.

Edit (06-27) : First version of the Guide for Custom Characters is up. I tried to explain more or less the basics, so if you guys want more details on any part, I'll try and get more specific.

Edit2 (07-07) : Updated info about the next Queen's Gate book, Noel Vermillion.

QB Battle 21.7

Megaupload: App + Media (update) + Extra chars
Sendspace: App + Media (update) + Extra chars

Added the fanmade Tifa Lockhart (thanks to the pics gathered by Okami31):


Since Tifa is one of the most popular game characters, I tried hard to convey her "FF gameplay" into here.

All the problems that resulted from changing the compiler version should hopefully be solved now...

Coming next: If I can't get anything extra done, at least Black Widow.

Edit: Replaced Rebellion Risty's profile with one I translated into english in the What is QB? page.

Edit2 (06-14): Fix to make Tifa's MP work properly: Megaupload / Sendspace

Edit3 (06-17): Patch to avoid 2P Echidna's disarming glitch, and a correction for one of Nyx' moves: Megaupload / Sendspace

Edit4 (06-23): Patch to avoid 2P Claudette's parry glitch: Megaupload/Sendspace. QG Yukimura Sanada confirmed for this next update.

QB Battle 21.4

Megaupload: App + Media + Extra chars (update)
Sendspace: App + Media + Extra chars (update)

Changed the music system (should be compatible with everybody, though if that's not the case, let me know and I'll let users choose between the two), and adapted the giant robots Griffon and Locust, from the Battletech series (it's kind of weird to fight robots with normal people, but whatever :D):


The robots had highly damaging moves but took little damage, so to adapt them, they take more damage and the moves are less powerful (the end result is basically the same). Also, they bring a new concept, "overheating": if after doing moves, you reach 30 Heat, you'll only be able to use a couple of moves that release Heat that turn (kind of risky moves, at that).

Coming next: Tifa, and maybe Black Widow.

Edit (06-01): The What is QB? page was updated with Queen's Blade Rebellion Lyla's announcement for July 29th. Also, a fix that might solve the ongoing music problem for some users: Megaupload/Sendspace

QB Battle 21.0

Megaupload: App + Media (update) + Extra chars
Sendspace: App + Media (update) + Extra chars

Added Felicia (thanks to Okami31):


Not really a big update, but I was busy installing Windows 7, upgrading the C# compiler and stuff.

Coming next: mechas ahoy, from the last incompatible series, Battletech's Griffon and Locust.

Edit (05-24): Fix for the glitch when playing music, you guys let me know if it works for everybody: Megaupload / Sendspace

QB Battle 20.8

Megaupload: App + Media (update) + Extra chars
Sendspace: App + Media (update) + Extra chars

Besides the new file in the "config" folder to set your own BGM (let me know if music doesn't play somewhere it should, or if you want different music in another situations), added the recent Ivy, and Yoruichi & Sui-Feng from Bleach (thanks to Okami31 for gathering pics):


Ivy has rather standard attacks (some fans complained about her not having signature moves). As for Yoruichi & Sui-Feng, I tried to split the pages and maneuvers around 50/50, to make each one feel more independent than Eirin & Ymir.

Coming next: Felicia.

Edit: Small fix for replaying correctly 1p vs 2p battles: Megaupload / Sendspace

Edit 2 (05-03): Removed the "adult warning" that kept getting in the way, and added a disclaimer at the top of the page. I hope no one complains, the content is not that strong, imho.

QB Battle 20.4

Megaupload: App + Media (upd) + Extra chars (upd)
Sendspace: App + Media (upd) + Extra chars (upd)

Added Catwoman (thanks to Okami31 for the pics) and updated Cammy's images with more professional-looking ones (thanks to etherblade).


The files you modify in the "config" folder won't be overwritten by updates anymore, and most of the choices in Online battles won't ask both parties now, except for gimmick selection and color selection (like Luna Luna's or Darth Vader's).
By the way, if you want to fight online against other players, be sure to join the Hamachi channel featured at the top of the page.

Coming next: Choosing your own music for each screen, Bleach's Yoruichi & Sui-Feng. (I'll postpone the Night Owl earning Gimmick Points when leveling up until I understand those points better).

Edit (04-27): Ivy confirmed for next update, Yukimura Sanada's preview pics here (she doesn't have a "double matrix", as I assumed her "speed mode" would need, though).

QB Battle 20.1

Megaupload: App + Media (upd) + Extra chars (upd)
Sendspace: App + Media (upd) + Extra chars (upd)

Finished the Warhammer guys with Kal Jerico, and now Night Owl can choose Gimmicks (ninja tools) to use in the fights.


As for fanmade characters, beware of the bee showdown: not only Q-Bee (thanks to Charles for gathering pics), but also the "Killer Bee", Cammy.


Q-Bee was quite a challenge (because there isn't much artwork depicting her as in the middle of a battle), but borrowing a lot from the Birdman with Lance and Net concept character, she became an atypical flying character.

Coming next: Night Owl gaining extra BP or gimmick points when leveling up, and some more customization through the "config" folder. It'd be nice if there was Ivy too, but who knows.

Edit (04-05): Fixed some bugs and typos Q-Bee had: Megaupload/Sendspace. And coming next time too, Catwoman from DC.

Edit (04-06): Tiny patch for Q-Bee resulting in incorrect ranges sometimes: Megaupload/Sendspace

Edit (04-08): Fix for Huit & Vingt's Chemical Gas incorrectly succeeding everytime, and to improve the CPU's response against it: Megaupload/Sendspace
