Ottawa: Why have fundamentals when you have gimmicks?

[Essay]

Plus R really is coming. Really. With better online matchmaking at least, and the ability to switch between patched and unpatched versions. Probably to hit PS3 before Xbox.

(Original Japanese announcement, SRK's summary)

EDIT: And Millia even-more-confirmed for Xrd!

EDIT EDIT: System mechanic details translated!!

Ah yes, I saw that.

The Foonzo stream url is www.twitch.tv/bibiquadium so tune on in tonight. GG's after BB, which starts at 6.

derq said such nice things about me on stream <3

also we did some testing and with a bit of practice i should be able to DP/Grand viper through I-no's ground reversal - inputting it after I see the super flash! even at point-blank range!

now i just have to figure out how to play against zappa

[LiveWireX]

So, Chipp, Venom, Potemkin, and May's character designs for the new Guilty Gear got released, in case anybody hasn't seen them.

@Essay, I think I've been talking out of my ass a little about venom's up charge being different in +R. Rewatched some vids after practicing what it would be the way I described it. The speed at which Fino does it in videos is much slower than what I did in training. Checked the data, 6K startup is slightly slower only to be balance with less hitstop. It's 16 frames startup + 13 hitstop while right now it's 15 frames startup + 15 frames hitstop.

Sorry for the confusion

Slight edit, 5 minutes of fiddling to try the current upcharge, I'm surprised I can even manage to land it. All's good!

I'm going to assume that the 'character' slots on the website being full means there won't be any others for the loketest, not that there won't be any others period. Because otherwise that would be pretty depressing. I mean, Chipp and May? Both definitely bottom five on the list of AC characters I would've liked to see return.

Also, Potemkin doesn't look like a nice guy anymore.

[LiveWireX]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, especially since the Millia thing essentially confirms Eddie anyway. But yeah, if there's no Faust, I-No, or Slayer, I'll be kinda sad. And I know people are hoping for Dizzy.

[DerQ]

Eddie confirmed? I thought it was Eddie in Millia's eye reflection that was confirmed and not eddie himself

Uh...do you mean Zato-1, by chance?

[Essay]

Keep in mind, a lot of stuff on the website seem to be quickly thrown together. The character descriptions are 95% identical to the character descriptions on the Japanese GGXXAC+R site. With them revealing these characters so early, I'd be surprised if there weren't more character reveals to come. They did something like that with BBCP, didn't they? Terumi Hazama and someone else revealed late?

I'd expect at the very least a playable Arcade boss character thrown in (probably someone other than I-No since she's already been the Arcade mode boss for the last decade). A suped-up Eddie is a good potential fit for that role, in my mind, especially considering how he featured in the trailer.

Could be a resurrected Zato-1 back in control of himself, but I'd say that's more unlikely than a reinvigorated Eddie. When the Xrd trailer cuts to Millia, we even see her hair wipe through a shadowy effect, so I'd be surprised if the parasite was out of the picture.

[Rigel Cyrosea]

I watched that venom combo video you guys were talking about on the way home. It was indeed amazing. The axl one I mentioned is here. I had forgotten about the clashing sequences. It's worth seeing just for that, let alone the rest of the craziness that goes on.

Well yeah. Unless my whole understanding of the Eddie/Zato thing with Zato = the guy who's actually a corpse now, and Eddie = the parasite is all messed up and wrong.

I see what you mean about the clashes. 3min20sec for anyone that wants to see something hype.

No no, that's right, but the implication with Accent Core is that Zato is done, and you just call them Eddie now as a unit, hence his on-screen name being Eddie now despite the portrait always being Zato's face, and not the parasite's.

[DerQ]

yep, venom's 6K > carcass rode is the done the same way if not easier than 6HS > carcass ride (get hype essay if you still had interest in venom just for that combo)

Venom has too many balls now, which is pretty awesome, really. We'll see when I get my hands on +R.

[DerQ]

Venom has too many balls now

Balls:

Now raise guard bar 6 (previous was 0). Lightning balls raise by 6x3.

Ball Summon->Layout change (214x->D) - New move. Changes your ball formation to the formation used in Slash for the corresponding button.

Tell me about it lol
