Cool, there's a picture of DI Sol. He looks scary. O_o'

[SoWL]

Still fascinated by the sheer amount of text on the characters. It's like they know people are going to pay lots of attention to the models and figured they might as well reward them.

Also, love all the loketest signs on the stages - it means they are easily customizable.

[Agni]

Wait...the stages themselves say that it's a loketest?

[ElvenShadow]

Ok I played 3 matches as Sol and learned a lot.

Which moves can be YRCd are move specific. All of Sol's moves can be YRC (YRC is whiff only) except VV and grand V. You can of course RC as normal on hit. It's easy to know what moves can't be YRCd because it will show a red "X" over your character when you try to YRC during a move that you can't, even if you have no meter.

Sol dive kick can't be tiger knees. There is a min night restriction. Still not sure if overhead or not.

To do follow up to riot "stomp" just hit any button on connected hit or block (all do same version)

Dead angle felt the same.

More to come. The line to play vs is really short now. Everyone is waiting for the single player cabs.

[Climhazzardous]

Different wakeup times are lazy design.

No way...but maybe you only say that because you play Potemkin, and thus would've had a much easier time with his unblockable...

[Starlight777]

Dragon Install Sol looks naked. WTF.

[ElvenShadow]

Regular Pot buster has no special animation. It's the same. Heavenly is epic though!

[SolxBaiken]

Dragon Install Sol looks naked. WTF.

Like some sort of primal beast, hmm...

[SoWL]

Yeah, for example, check the sign here above the Duel gear:

[ElvenShadow]

I also noticed stages are totally random and right now there are only 4. I think the garden may actually be Millias stage

[ElvenShadow]

Chipp's "find me!" Is way easier to see and only has small increments where he is fairly hard to see.

[Mumm-Ra]

still suspicious about the tension bar having 4 segments.

[Starlight777]

Like some sort of primal beast, hmm...

He looks cool, but I wasn't expecting that.

[Agni]

Dragon Install Sol looks naked. WTF.

His manliness is clearly too much for clothes.

[Kitsoru]

Like some sort of primal beast, hmm...

?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2526[/ATTACH]?

Eh, close enough.

[ElvenShadow]

I found some friends

[Starlight777]

Well seeing as DI Sol is a different model altogether, alternate costumes seem like a decent possibility now.

[Rhiya]

Not being able to whiff RC some moves relieves me a lot.

[Appledash-]

I just noticed that chipp isn't wearing his scarf of asskicking in gameplay.

Maybe alt costumes can fix that

[ssj2jeff]

hows sols fafnir. i think i saw it listed on his move list, does it still stagger?

[Agni]

Well seeing as DI Sol is a different model altogether, alternate costumes seem like a decent possibility now.

BB crossover costumes for a few characters (Sol/Ragna, Ky/Jin, Pot/Tager, etc.) would be awesome as hell. BB already had GG palettes, after all.

[ElvenShadow]

FAfnir goes really far but I didn't see it hit yet
