Essay Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 So, if I understand this right, Blitz Shield is like a quick counter stance that projects a hit back if it counters a strike? Does this mean that it can be safe-jumped like Axl's 623P counter, or is it like a better version of his 214P/K counters that immediately stuns? It at least looked like it had punishable recovery that leads to a counter hit at 2:13 of the Faust vs. Millia vid.
9TNine Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Thank you! You are a hero. HCL looks shorter... but I wonder if that's because of the game being widescreen now... Nice to see the HCL Follow-up though, and her Note speed looks good. -9 Edited November 4, 2013 by 9TNine
SoWL Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Man, I love Faust's new animations so much, even his 5P is now a tsukkomi slap. And speaking of animations, Axl's Bentengari still has the image of Benten appearing, and it's actually easier to see now, since it persists for a bit longer. I tried reading the text on people's clothing, but could only make out "Settle with elegance" on Venom's gloves and "A merry heart ??? good like a medicine" on Faust's back (who also has some text on his shoulder screw thingies).
Hecatom Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hello all, i have make the past video of ggxrd and persona location test in japan, and i have see that lot of people was coming from this forum.

fiendmaw Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Apparently Chipp can just run under everything.
Mumm-Ra Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks a ton Aristobule! So Faust's outfit did change after all, didn't notice his coat got longer in the character art.
Malcopunch Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Faust has way too much damage in my opinion..i know he will be changed but he has too high damage output
9TNine Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Anyone see the "hellfire" text during the I-No/Venom match-up? Happens once at the end of the round when Venom does the super, and again when I-No does Ultimate Fortissimo. EDIT: Also happens when Axl does his super. Seems to only happen for non-cinematic supers? Renaming of Overdrives maybe? -9

HoudiniJr100 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 lack of slayer saddens me...but it's just minor..loved seeing chipp!
Ronove Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 The stages also look pretty darn nice. Thank you! You are a hero. HCL looks shorter... but I wonder if that's because of the game being widescreen now... That could be a reason, but looking at the size of the characters and the stage I'm prone to think that rather than being wider it's more like it's "shorter". I mean, there are two ways to adapt a 4:3 game to a 16:9 ratio afterall: you either keep the same height and make it wider, or keep the same lenght and "trim" the camera height. In this case I get the feeling that the lenght seems to be pretty much the same, ElvenShadow and the others who attended the loke test might confirm or deny this of course.
KBnova Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 The basis feels like reload but all of the new system mechics and changes make it feel like a very new experience. Hopefully you get what I am trying to say. It's like if the XX series evolved from reload in another direction and Slash never exised, let alone AC. Cool! Sounds perfect to me since i really enjoyed gg before ac and really like the mechanis so far in xrd. Its great players can have more easy access to creative uses for the yrc etc. for more flexible mind games and options. I think it will be a much deeper game than xx once people get their hands into it. Anthony you hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TheRealBobMan Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 It looked to me like the hitbox and graphic were smaller when accounting for proportion differences. If that's the only nerf, I'm sort of sad, but it's something I'm totally OK with. I sort of like that I-No's hitboxes suck, so having one of her best ones get a bit weaker is something I'll adapt to. I mean, I'd prefer to have the 632146 input and have the hitbox reach 2/3 screen distance, but if this change helps new players get into a fun character, I'm all for it. If it's still a sort of "intangible" projectile hitbox, we can probably still make good use of HCL Extend and such tricks, though the vertical part of the hitbox seems really small since it kept whiffing. I was a little surprised when I saw the VCL whiff when I-No did j.D > VCL. It looks like the beam doesn't move forward at all, and she only floats forward after it ends. This takes away some of the ambiguity on VCL crossup shenanigans, and gets rid of one of our options for following up a blocked j.D (that might not even combo out of a j.D that hits). Though with that change, maybe there's hope VCL will be lvl 5 again?
Mumm-Ra Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Or maybe they buff it again in the final build.
TheRealBobMan Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 You know what? I was judging it off of the HCL done at 1:32, but there's one at 0:43 that looks like it still has substantial range. If there's a range nerf, it's probably very minor. For all we know, it could have whiffed at 1:32 because Venom crouched, or it could have been off by 1 pixel. As for the VCL, it's possible I-No jumped back while doing the input. If I compare her position with a freeze frame on j.D and VCL's startup, she's moved backwards and slightly up just before the VCL. I should stop doing this. It's hard not to be excited though.
Blade Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Still no info from the Globe on Character Select, yet, I take it? Thanks for the videos. Overdrives used to be called Chaos Attacks...dunno if they're being called Hellfire Attacks now...might just be some way of saying max tension. (Like MvC's "Maxxxx!!!")

Looking forward to the other videos too.
Jocelot Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I like that new rekka ender of Chipps, it kinda reminds me of his FB Genrozan followup from ^C, at least in appearance (and apparently even more practicality lol).
kosmos badgirl Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Aristobule thanks for the videos, any chance that you recorded more I-No.
geoomega Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 nice videos thank you ARIST... the Halloween stage re-minds me of rachel alucard so far the best stage of the game..
king of heart Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Regarding failed Blitz Shield . . . I think that you are in counter hit state after it (just like BB Hakumen Drive). that's what happened with me
Kaizen Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 *Godsend* I love it. Anybody have any idea who that witch flying around in near the beginning of Chipp vs. Axl might be? (2nd vid) Also, I love how they brought back Axl's win pose where he laughs like the biggest dork.
