Arizona "Arcsys Release Dates Give Us Erectile Dysfunction", Thread

[i2agnarok]

Fun stuff, folks. Glad I actually managed to make it out, even though I'm a little behind everyone else. Hopefully I conclude my character experimentation by the next time I show up and get fluent enough with said character to put up a decent fight. I'm really bad at sitting down and practicing, so we'll see how that goes. I really do like the game, though.

In Xrd news, I-No's chemical love is now a 214 input and has a follow up move, 214S. I guess I-No's absurd execution requirements are finally going down.

Axl also got some new moves, but I'm not really sure what they do yet.

The next location test is Nov. 2-4, and there may also be an unannounced character at the test.

Oh rad, they gave him one of those specials with follow ups. Maybe a command dash/jump or something? He's also got an overdrive I don't recognize, 214214S. Can't help but notice they got rid of his 623P counter; bummer, I loved that move.

Have you seen any new footage Luke? I'm wondering if Axl's chains are two hits and if his Axl Bomber is upward or downward, that's totally going to make him or break him for me.

[Valthazeryus]

You might need a better splitter, too. I think we used both Wang's splitter and converter.

[Omegashrimp]

Thanks for hosting, Ruben. I enjoyed myself.

[Ryuuka]

GGs last night. I need to find a more solid main. Terumi seems a bit gimmicky and playing arakune in cp is just...

GGs everyone. It was really cool seeing so many people playing; I don't think I've seen that many setups at a gathering since Ruben's old place.

Nope, I think we'll have to wait for the next location test for new footage.

I hated that character the most. I'm glad she is... mo shindeiru.

[Loli Bacon]

GGs everyone! Games were fun. Had a ton of fun. Will learn legit stuff soon enough.

the audio loaded before the video so I totally thought this was a clip from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

More Xrd news: looks like Faust will be playable at the next location test.

[Greyvangelist]

apparently the game takes place after GG2 Overture as well? Might get to see a new character then; it'd be sick if it was Raven

[Chumaralupa]

If Dizzy ACTUALLY isn't playable, I'm not going to be happy.

[Orrax]

I believe Ishiwatari said that they want to add in new characters to Xrd, but that old ones have priority. So, we'll probably see Dizzy join the cast before we see any new characters.

I'm hoping that we get at least all the characters from #R plus a few new ones.

[Valthazeryus]

I'm pretty sure if they're going based off canon of the story, Dizzy is going to be playable as a character that is a cloned off of her, and then Sin will also be added to the cast. And then Valentine gets added, too. And then some new Guilty Gear character that nobody has heard of that looks really feminine and is part of a traveling circus and likes to slap you with his clothes.

[Omegashrimp]

If anyone hasn't seen them, I'd recommend checking out those leaked Guilty Gear Pachinko artworks. They're a few years old apparently, but show a lot of details we see in the current redesigns.

And there's weird new guys like this one:

[Ryuuka]

Looks like what'd happen if Eddie took over Q from 3S.

[Greyvangelist]

wow some of those pretty cool and some of those look really bad. Johnny looks like a bad country singer

[Theupstreamer]

Millia is so hot no matter what they do to her.

[Chumaralupa]

Sin is the most fabulous looking GG character I've ever seen.

And whoever the fuck that guy above is looks like he belongs in Blaz.

I like Dizzy's design, it's about time she's not shamelessly sluttly; stay classy gurl.

[Ryuuka]

She finally covered up that dick of hers.

More Xrd news:

Slayer has been added to the roster.

There were some system changes. To summarize, there are now some situations in which RCs cost 25% (it's not yet clear when, but based on a screenshot it might be for projectiles), most of the clashing stuff is out, and there's a new mechanic called blitz shield. Blitz shield seems to me like a modified version of slashback that repels an opponent and costs 25% meter (so I'm guessing it's probably easier to do).

Not quite sure how these changes will affect the game yet. I'm a little skeptical about blitz shield, but I'm looking forward to seeing loke test impressions nonetheless.
