Zeromus_X Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I'm just gonna play Ky cause I'm boring like that. But I'm kinda hype to play May for some reason. Dat Ensenga knockdown anywhere I guess. Oh yeah, and good luck to Ryan at NEC. Hope to see you wreck people on stream.
Ryuuka Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I think I'm the only person in AZ who wants to play Elphelt. Just means there's more waifu for me.She's quite the chatterbox, though... gives Bedman a run for his money.
H-F Blade Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I actually kinda wanna play Elphelt if only for the silly fps reference the designer made. Plus I've got a lot of people on twitter and aim bugging me about it saying "You get to play COD in a fighting game!" So just thinking about some of my biggest passions, COD + fighting games + anime and I eventually caved in. Dunno how well it's gonna go though. Just be prepared for a lot of dumb fps jokes though. lol Will there be any Xrd action later today? If so, when and where? My PS4 black friday bundle arrives today but my brother will be receiving that for me.
Ryuuka Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I don't really know at this point. I'm heading out soon so I might just play it when I get back later.
TagAnarchy Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 You all better drop Ramletherl. I'm going to be the Ramletherl-type Highlander. There can only be one!
TagAnarchy Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I'll be there for sure if people want to play Xrd/UNIEL. I'd hate to be a potential month behind because of a delay. anyone else coming?
Chumaralupa Posted December 4, 2014 Author Posted December 4, 2014 I'm not sure yet if I'm free this Sunday, but I'll stop by for games if I am.
Rei-Inari Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 So am I gonna be the only Sin in AZ? No other flag flyers here?
Valthazeryus Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 No. Stapleton is playing Sin. Also, I am looking at GGXrd on the J-PSN market right now. PRETTY SURE BRIAN ALREADY HAS IT BY NOW.
Ryuuka Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I finished all of Elphelt's challenges already. I thought this game had auto jump installs but I guess I was mistaken... unless Chipp is some exception.
TagAnarchy Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Don't know how many of you know this random fact, but i foundit on twitter yesterday and thought to share. Elphelt's 2C can dodge a self-destructing grenade apparently. Take that as you will, but i thought i might say this for the sake of the Elphelt players here.
LegendaryRath Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Have fun with Xrd guys. I'm heading to the airport!
Valthazeryus Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 ArkSys official statement: PSA: Guilty Gear Xrd runs at 60fps in BOTH Performance and Graphics Mode. No 30fps to be seen here! The difference in modes in Xrd are purely cosmetic. Both deliver full 60fps during core gameplay, where input matters. We don't mess around when it comes to the critical things for competitive play. We got you guys! Edit: Non-arcade ripped Xrd songs. #Kreygasm
Ryuuka Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Hard at work saving up enough anime points to unlock flag-boy.
Valthazeryus Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) "OUJIIIIII-SAAAAAAAAAAN!" Literally every single trailer. Everybody and their mothers on Twitch are playing Elphelt. Holy shit. Edited December 5, 2014 by Valthazeryus
Ryuuka Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 It's because she's actually the best character.
Orrax Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Oh yeah, and good luck to Ryan at NEC. Hope to see you wreck people on stream. This. Good luck, Ryan! Also, I just realized that Ruu and Satou are in the bracket for +R at NEC. I feel like it's a foregone conclusion that they'll be facing each other in grand finals.
Bearell Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Dengeki is on NEC's schedule?! Ryan please make DFC top 8. But goodluck on your actual games.

Ryuuka Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Impressions after a couple days of almost-nonstop Xrd practice: If I could go back in time and tell people to play either AC or #R to get a feel for Xrd, I'd definitely say #R now. The general movement feels much more like #R than AC. It feels like moves just have more recovery in general. I also have to unlearn a bunch of habits that I've been building from half a decade of AC (mostly character-specific). Basic-bitch combos do hella damage for seemingly no reason. The new super flash animations kinda break the flow of the game. You can't even buffer inputs during them. I kinda wish there was an option to turn them off but ASW wants to shove the unreal engine down our throats. RC slowdown has a similar effect but it's not as bad. I miss the surprise factor that the old RCs had. Man I don't even play this game. Just some quick character-specific things: Sol feat. divekick feels more #yoloswag than ever now. Dustloop timing feels slightly funkier but I wasn't very good at it before anyways. DI is even more happy fun times (but unfortunately no more helicopter Sol). Ky's grinders make him feel much more threatening at almost every range. Aside from that he's basically the same character. Ride the Lightning feels worse despite apparently being better. Chipp is harder better faster stronger. Invisibility is gdlk. No more 6H IAD loops, mandatory jump install teleports and wall clings for big presidential damage now. 623H is sweet though. Potemkin is #R version with Hammerfall YRC and 6K loops. I'm at a loss as to what he does without his AC bag of tricks (for now). Axl's new stance feels like a mixed bag of kinda-useless and sometimes awesome/hilarious. TK Bomber loop seems like the way to go. He also has an actual DP now. I-No is actually pretty fun now that she's a playable character. Her and Chipp seem to have switched on the masochistic "3 extra inputs per move" combos. Chemical Love followup is really convenient. Also AA command throw gives her some easy midscreen options. Slayer doesn't feel like he wins, but he does. Despite him not having derpy insta-win things like BDC bite loop or fullscreen ch dead on time, his normals are still straight-up good. He just outvalues you to death. Millia has the same destination but her route is different. I dunno if she has relaunches in this version. Rose super is apparently ridiculous but I haven't tried it on a person. Faust looks different but is actually the same character. new f.S and 2H are pretty good. New items feel... less useful? or at least I don't know what to do with them. Venom will never be cool again without N-O playing him. My basic Venom is now even more basic without charged Carcass Raids. I guess he just does IAD combos all day now. I should have practiced more #R Eddie. He still just wins in one combo. I miss AC Mawaru but he doesn't need it. I suck at timing the unblockable oki. I don't know what to think about May. She used to get crazy dps but now everyone kinda has it so she's a moe mascot character in my eyes. Beach Ball is pretty annoying to deal with if it comes out. Someone needs to pick up May in AZ. Ramlethal is about as expected: very un-guilty-like. She feels more like a misplaced Blazblue character. Neutral feels a bit clunky but corner pressure seems stronk (haven't played enough with her really). Slow-ish long range sword normals with obnoxious hitboxes. Her combos still feel unintuitive to me. Bedman is still strange and foreign to me and his air mobility is annoying to deal with. Definitely have to get used to his effective range and that broken hitbox on 6P. 2D has hella range. Sin... I dunno yet. I've only done a bit of his challenge mode and haven't used him against a person. Not much good footage of him either. Elphelt is wuv, Elphelt is wife. *Early impressions. Subject to change. Game is hard. Play me.
