Mumm-Ra Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 People without facebook accounts need'em I guess.
Starlight777 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Do you guys still want Vimeo links? Yes.
Climhazzardous Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Ok, apparently Vimeo's uploads have a queue system now because it's saying I'm 'waiting in line' for my videos to process, even though I uploaded them like 10 minutes ago. So it'll take 30-40 minutes judging by the timer.
Pichy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Oh hey, they replaced May's 2H with something that actually has a different use to 2D. Now she has both another AA normal, and can do 2S 2H SVD if you suck at charge partitioning.
Climhazzardous Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Just got linked this thanks to clockmongler, has info about plot, IK's, etc: http://www.mmcafe.com/cgi-bin/forums/bbs/messages/13469.shtml Wow, that info has got me real hyped! I absolutely adore attention to detail and variety like that. Let's just hope this loketest and the people participating in it really help to iron out the gameplay and put some of our worries to rest. Edit: First vid up (I-No vs Valentine) - https://vimeo.com/85902020 Edited February 5, 2014 by Climhazzardous
Tokkan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Should we still be calling her Valentine at this point? The HUD just calls her "RAMLETHAL", not her full name and not Valentine.
Starlight777 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Now that I've gotten a better look at that footage I have to say that Val's stage looks fantastic. It's pretty interesting that she's called Ramlethal instead of Valentine on her health bar. Normally I don't like characters with over-sized horse cutters for weapons but she looks pretty cool. I just noticed her little bat-balloon things are swinging the swords for her, that's funny. Edited February 5, 2014 by Starlight777
Poultrygeist Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Kinda reminds me of Donovan from Darkstalkers moreso than Litchi. Those IKs sound super cool, especially Bedman's.
Final Ultima Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Should we still be calling her Valentine at this point? The HUD just calls her "RAMLETHAL", not her full name and not Valentine.Yeah, that's what I've been assuming since her introduction. The "Valentine" in her name is obviously there in relevance to the continued plot point from Guilty Gear 2, but I'm sure the entire reason they introduced her with the name Ramletherl Valentine was to get people to start calling her Ramletherl from the offset to avoid confusion with the previous Valentine. Edit: Just noticed that the opening subtitles romanise it "Ramletherl" but the HUD clearly says "Ramlethal". More top quality consistent romanisation from the team that brought you "Mega Romania" in AC+R. I'll guess I'll stick with Ramlethal for now. Edited February 5, 2014 by Final Ultima
Starlight777 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 The May vs. Ky vid is up on vimeo. https://vimeo.com/85903645 That Danger Time prompt is slow as all hell. If they plan to keep that mechanic it needs to be sped up, that pause really messes with the flow of the match.
phantomBlade Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) "Overhead kiss changed from 63214 to 632146". Good, now all that's needed is to change wild throw from 623 to 62363214 and then let the dust settle, we good. Edited February 5, 2014 by phantomBlade

Heh, Ramlethal sounds jokes so I don't mind calling her that =D All that lethal ramming from a choco valentine :lordknight:
Skyheartxia Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 May needs a color where her beach balls are green like a watermelon and she has orange hair and a green getup and we're done. b....beach balls? im very confused what this is meant to mean. but...uh, the colour sounds cool..
Jocelot Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I'm sure they'll change it if it's supposed to be, I mean they called Axl 'Axl Row' in the first batch of screen shots when he was confirmed. Although 'Ramlethal' does sound a hell of a lot cooler. Also nice to see Danger Time in action. It sure is.... something.
heavymetalmixer Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 "Chip: "All I needed was one more vote!"" Oh man, this made my day.
phantomBlade Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Dang that may vs ky match lasted forever. The damage being high doesn't matter!!!! I think the danger time is awesome. I dunno exactly how it works, but the little break that it gives is well received.
Narroo Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 So, Valentine looks, thematically, like a cross between a Murokumo and Izayoi. Well, I guess people have finally got their armorless Nu.
xAKUM3TSUx Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 If "Keep Yourself Alive III" from GG2 is still Sol's theme that alone will be enough for me. I'm okay with any new track they make for him (cuz Daisuke's a beast) but that version can stay for this whole Xrd Saga imo.
mynus Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 That shit looked like it was played underwater.
HoudiniJr100 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 That shit looked like it was played underwater. so you're saying- "yes" -they built an arcade machine- "yes" -UNDERWATER
Luminos564 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 So "Ramlethal" eh? I guess I can call her Rammy-chan then. That said, her playstyle looks very unique. Swords seem to give her a lot range but can also be placed around on the screen. It reminds me a bit of Mu-12's Stein Gunner Drive, though a bit more versatility since Ramlethal can set one but keep the other. It's pretty interesting and I'd love to play around with it, provided ASW adds her down the line. And from that May vs. Ky video, I am not really seeing the point of Danger Time. I mean, what is it even supposed to do? Turn the game into a snail's pace guessing game?
mynus Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 so you're saying- "yes" -they built an arcade machine- "yes" -UNDERWATER "Unda da sea!" Please Daisuke have some common sense. I begs. Some Japanese players' twitter feeds are saying the same as well. Might not be as bad as watching since they are actually playing, but they are still complaining about the speed.
phantomBlade Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 It looks like danger time adds super counter hit status to all attacks for 5 seconds.
RurouniLoneWolf Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I have to say, after seeing that footage of Valentine, I'm all about Ram-chan right now. Maybe not as much as I am about Baiken but I'm still pretty impressed. Hopefully she becomes a time release character.
Henaki Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 That shit looked like it was played underwater. I agree with that on the I-No match, she looks twice as slow (which is horrible imo... she should be super fast). The Ky vs May match looked a lot faster than that, but still slightly slower than the XX series.
