[Xrd] News & (Theoretical) Gameplay Discussion

[Mebaro]

Slayer has 2 versions of his ground dash according to a SL player I talked to. One is short and one is longer. Press forward 3 times for the long one.

if you do 66 you will get the normal dash but if you do 6[6] you get the longer one

sorry i should have explained it better

[fiendmaw]

Not sure what you mean. The puddles appear with the shark in fixed places. They aren't very far apart

Drills create puddles when they hit,and the shadow can also create one,so I thought that's where the shark jumps from.But from what you said it seems the puddles are just aesthetic.

Activating IK freezes the opponent completely until finished.

Oh my

[HeatEXTEND]

Come back mechanics are for the weak.

GG has comeback mechanics lol

[TAI-X]

Someone's probably said it already, but Ky REALLY looks like Millia with his hair down.

While it seems like the full initial roster has been revealed, I have a strong feeling we'll see That Man as the boss character (perhaps non-playable).

[Layer]

I dunno, GG has a tradition of having Women as the final boss. I still can't see us playing That Man before we play Raven and his other servant.

Leopaldon, Gig and Judgment say hi.

[Mumm-Ra]

Isn't Gig a woman though?

I'm kinda surprised Eddie can't YRC his drills at least. I guess they thought knockdown>Drill>FRC>IAD into pressure in the past games was already a solid set up, doing the same with the added benefit of slowing down time was a little too good, maybe. Lol.

Edit- Would be cool if he could YRC his command grab, though.

[Kitsoru]

Nah, Gig was a male scientist iirc, he just turned himself into a weird Kefka Gear thing.

But none of those games are 'main' series or really canon, for what it's worth.

That was one of his unblockable set ups right? Maybe they didn't want him to have those without the use of little Eddie.

Pretty sure, or maybe it was a hard to block I can't remember. But yeah I guess I get why they chose to do what they did in Xrd, I guess I'm just being selfish lol.

[NeoStrayCat]

Leopaldon, Gig and Judgment say hi.

Yeah, but does Order-Sol count? I know he's just only a Secret (or Bonus) TFB, but then again...>_>

[Pichy]

H drill FRC -> IAD j.H was an unblockable when done as a meaty. I am very okay with him not being able to cancel either of the drills. Buzzsaw building absolutely no guard bar though? Tragic.

[Suzaku]

Isn't Gig a woman though?

So is the dog in Leopaldon's mouth.

Judgment obviously broke the tradition.

[ElvenShadow]

Bedman shadow beast does not hit crouching opponents

Actually now I'm not sure. I was crouching FD and it went over my head but I thought it hit me while I was standing FD. I just saw Axl get hit by it regular crouch blocking...

Eddie 3rd color is red

Bedman can dash through DI tyrant rave unscathed

Wait he can't YRC his drills? I swear I saw a video of him doing it before it became active. Or it was a red roman cancel at the least....

[SoWL]

Eddie 3rd color is red

Completely red? I remember a white Zato, red Eddie color scheme, that one was great and I wouldn't mind having it back.

He can red RC on hit or block. Can't YRC

[ElvenShadow]

Bedman can air dash cancel his jump S and possibly other air normals

Also, jump S is a really great move for crossups

[NitroNoodlez]

Damn, I'm gonna miss Drill FRCs, lol. Elven have you seen Zato's new move where Eddie turns into a giant hand of some sorts? Is it some type of new command throw?

[king of heart]

I just saw some crazy Zato performance by Ogawa!

Yea it's a grab.

Btw ogawa said to me that bedman is so good that there might as well not be any other characters in the game lol. I'm sure he will get toned down in the final version

Other stuff for bedman. His 6hs is like jack hound. He has a 3hs that goes full screen and comes out of the ground. His 1HS is similar but appears in front of him

[king of heart]

When you perfect someone you get the word PERFECT instead of SLASH
