Dunno why Potemkin is looking like a Wermacht officer in his new design when Zepp is supposed to be a stand in for Soviet Russia. I mean, it's not just the pickelhaube, but the whole design aesthetic screams 1940's German Army.

^Yeah, those renders are noticeably weird in places, most distracting of which is May's cheek. Hope that's just a WIP... Also what's with everyone sticking their hands in the camera? Except Sol. He's too cool for that.

Well these are 3D renders and not hand drawn art. Sometimes the polygons don't exactly match how you'd expect someone to look when hand drawn.

On a related note, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that their hands are larger than you'd normally expect (though anyone with a bit of sense would understand that that's to keep better proportions when viewed in game from the side like a 2D sprite).

Before anyone complains about Potemkin looking like a German instead of a Russian,

lol

i still agree that it looks overwhelmingly german which isnt surprising considering how japan has a really awkward germany boner sometimes

i dont think its very cool that he looks like a nazi soldier

potemkin was a cool design, giant upper body and jeans and a pony tail but he was like

gentle? he likes to draw

like hes actually one of the less crazy characters in GG

now he just looks like a silly cartoon robo knight with nazi undertones

It's not just the pickelhaube. It's also the amount of green and the lack of red. Then there's that armband.

That said, I hope this leads to Mike Z making a tutorial with a bad german accent this time. Instead of "Real Soviet Damage", we should get "DAMAGE ZAT VILL LAST FOR EIN THOUSAND YEARZ!"

May

Johnny, I'll do my best for you!

A mischievous and happy-go-lucky young girl. Her values are based completely around her consuming love for Johnny. (If Johnny was on one side of a scale and everyone else in the world were on the other, Johnny would still weigh more in her eyes.) This pure and childlike exterior belies untold strength; she can hoist up a ship's anchor by herself. Simple-minded and selfish, nothing can stop her once she gets an idea into her head.

Maybe they'll do away with the bag entirely and go back to being Dr. Baldhead.

-9

I don't want that only because of my sheer dislike of baldness.

Pointless observation of the night: May is listed at the same height as AC, but 10 pounds heavier.

Are you sure? Just looked up an older profile and it lists the same height/weight as on the Xrd site.

From my cursory google translating and what's been translated so far, it looks like short of Ky's profile mentioning he's king, no one's profiles have changed at all from the stock ones they've been using since like, X. For example, May's still says she's a young girl, but she can't be younger than 18-20 by this game. Guess we'll see when Suzaku gets through them (particularly Pot's..)

Huh, my predictions hit pretty close to the mark besides the lack of Eddie. Wish we could have Faust, but Potemkin is enough for me for now.

The cool thing about Potemkin's new design is that he's actually decked out in a Zepp military uniform. He's no longer dressed like a slave.

This is why I love Pot's new design so much. First, it's been long overdue since around GGXX (when he became a proper soldier under Gabriel's command). Moreover, his uniform resembles Gabriel's a whole lot, so I wouldn't jump on the Panzerfaust bandwagon so soon (though I admit, that'd be hella cool). And hey, he might actually discard it all before Magnum Opera for a nice throwback!

Chipp and Venom are about the same, though I wish Venom didn't cover some of the ubiquitous clothes text. May, on the other hand, is just different enough for me to like it. ぺろぺろ!

Leggings on Millia? Pants on May? Next thing you know Dizzy will be wearing a cardigan. Anarchy!

Sweater puppies are a miracle of the universe, though.

Chipp Zanuff

I'll perform your eulogy!

Short in patience and long in fighting spirit. Takes a survival-of-the-fittest approach to life, and looks for the easy way out of everything except fighting, where his strategies are always exceptionally well thought out. Often flies into rages over trifling matters, although he's been working hard to hold his temper in check under his former master's admonitions. Wishes he could get himself to help others more often. Has a keen interest in Japanese culture from his former master, and possesses an image of that country that has little to do with reality.

Venom

As deep and purple as a requiem for a gentleman...

Although he works as an assassin, his mind is pure and he has trouble hiding things from others. His actions are calm and scientific, but his thoughts are more on the romantic side. Raised in a cold environment, he has few desires in life other than to preserve his own while he searches for some meaning to his existence. His hatred of murder comes from the heart, and taking human lives outside of work is tough for him to bear.

I just noticed Chipp's "Misty Illusion Slash" (Genrouzan) has an alternate input.

Instead of 41236+K, it's 63214+S.

And he can do two versions of it off a wall cling.

I actually would rather not see Baldhead back unless it was just an alternate costume. I would be fine with the same old Faust design but a few little tweaks could be cool if done well.

That's a good question.

Yep, by faith, Pot can use his Turbo-Armed boots in order to dash out and combo the opponent... :vbang:

Anyhow, I just can't wait to see Millia's pin in 3D! XD

I think that's a mistranslation/mistyping because it's written as Genyouzan (and is written differently on official site) on SRK. I believe it's his force break version.

Potemkin

I will fulfill my duty.

Fiercely proud and pure of heart. His giant, overpowering mass conceals a warm, gentle character, in love with all of nature. Justice is his creed, and he cannot bear to see other people suffer—even if he himself suffers the most. Always faces up to any adversity in his way, but never fights merely for the pleasure of hurting others.

Also don't want to disappoint you people but I've just checked profiles/summaries on GGAC+R site and they're exactly the same as on GGXrd site (with some details like Ky being King, May being a Jellyfish pirate and Chipp's summary ending with ませている instead of ましている).
