Orrax Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I personally love #R, so I don't mind Xrd being similar. I also don't get the notion that the balance in that game is "terrible" -- it's not great compared to AC and Slash, but it's pretty passable compared to a lot of other games (even recent games). Most of the cast is still viable, and while there is some stupid shit in the game, I don't think it's game breaking. I'm really hoping there will be limits on when you can and cannot YRC, though, for the afore-mentioned reasons.
Digital Watches Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Honestly it's a lot more like everyone's getting DOT. I'm assuming you're not going to see a lot of high or low projectiles, so it's just going to be more characters that become super-threatening at half meter (Since I assume time-freeze is going to lead to some "If you weren't already blocking, you can't block" type things.
Pichy Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 So let's talk about something upbeat and inspiring, like Eddie RCing his S drill.
AMB Bakery Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "time-slowing" thing is nothing like how it sounds and then all of your cries will have been for nothing, you ungrateful babies.
Digital Watches Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Pff. Whining? This sounds awesome as described.
Rhiya Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I don't really care about the timeslow, outside of "I BLOCKED THAT DAMN IT BUT LOLTIMESLOW." I imagine it'll look pretty cool, and the standardish RC mixups will be as shenanigans as they've ever been. The timeslow will just make it easier for people watching to tell what's going on.
Rhannmah Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Mixed feelings on this one. Everything being RCable on whiff waters down the game, in my opinion. But that time slow RC sounds like it could be very interesting. Also, nothing confirmed on the FRC's yet, but they better be in. No FRC no buy!
Dandy J Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 time slow doesnt change that blocking happens in 1f
Rhiya Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 time slow doesnt change that blocking happens in 1f It says that time slows for everything but you when you RC. I find it hard to imagine that wouldn't result in you being slower to block.
Solid Gold Wall Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 man i wouldn't go that far. of course i'd probably still buy the game even if it was just a box that said guilty gear on it
Star-Demon Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 man i wouldn't go that far. of course i'd probably still buy the game even if it was just a box that said guilty gear on it We Capcom now?
Moy_X7 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Loving Millia's new look. Don't know what to make out of this whole "time stoppin` RCs" mumbo-jumbo. I'll have to see it in action before making any comments.
SolxBaiken Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I wasn't too fond of it at first, but I'm ok with Millia's look, specifically because someone said she looked like a Red Ribbon Army officer
Dandy J Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 It says that time slows for everything but you when you RC. I find it hard to imagine that wouldn't result in you being slower to block. you cant split a frame in half! gotta round up. if this is anything like enlightenment in samsho im all for it LOL
stickystaines Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 It says that time slows for everything but you when you RC. I find it hard to imagine that wouldn't result in you being slower to block. It's time slow, not input delay. At least that's what i get out of it. Say if you walk forward during time slow, you still are moving on the frame that you hit 6, but you just move slower. With attacks, you're move starts as soon as you hit the button, but the frame duration of the move has been increased making it longer. I imagine that the 3D will make it so the slowed animation doesn't look choppy and crap.
Delrian Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I'm assuming time slow wouldn't affect blocking, by assumption is that the opposing player's actions would be slowed (so basically displaying some or all frames twice). I don't like the thought about how this will potentially nullify reversals however...
Narroo Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Inside of me, I just want to have Izuna, screw Anji. There are multiple, fun, ways to interpenetrate this sentence. Aside from that, let's wait till the loketests. They didn't describe much at all here. Plus, it's always possible that they're going to put in and test mechanics piecemeal.
STenSatsu Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Just for clarification, the reason I feel it would be a simplification of FRCs is because there are a ton (if not most) of FRCs that could have a larger window and still have the same general effect. So if the newbie could be a bit sloppy and still get a minor combo off, say, Robo 5h or chemical love I think that is good. I'm sure there would still be points that are better for optimization of mixups or combos as well. But again, this could just be something for projectiles and they could be removing non-projectile FRCs completely which would make me a good bit sad.
A Classy Gamer Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I think FRCs as we know them from the XX series are being removed to make the game less , dare I say, "intimidating" to new players? And Slashbacks are probably gone because no one really used them, as far as I remember. Bit sour about the loss of Force Breaks though, as I loved Faust's Force Breaks. (Admittedly, I just love the character, so I probably won't feel too much of a difference.) As long as my doctor is still in the house, I'll be very happy.
SolxBaiken Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Yo speaking of medical care, can Franny have a formal introduction into the series! .o. and while we're at it, give me back Leopaldon :P
Starlight777 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Yo speaking of medical care, can Franny have a formal introduction into the series! .o. and while we're at it, give me back Leopaldon :P Yes I'm not the only person who wants Fanny in a main GG game.
Jocelot Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Just give Potemkin a new move called Slashback, since he was the only character to use it. But yeah, this new and hip Roman Cancel sounds...strange. Not in a bad way, I just can't picture it. Can't wait for hands on next week to see if its something to get hyped about/worried about.
ssj2jeff Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 damn no FRCs would suck for sols pressure. i hope they just make the windows larger
Moy_X7 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I wasn't too fond of it at first, but I'm ok with Millia's look, specifically because someone said she looked like a Red Ribbon Army officer The first thought that came to mind when I saw her was "dat Russian hat" lol I don't know, maybe she looks good in her artwork but then looks derpy in-game. Just like what you said about Bullet lol.
