Actually Sol can DP out of Millia's H disc in AC/ACPR too in certain situations. The matchup used to be fairly "even" in AC/ACPR. What's hurting Millia in Xrd against Sol is likely the fact that besides not having FB Pretty Maze, she has trouble setting up Secret Garden oki because of the changes to her pin's speed. And because of the pin being slower she has more trouble getting in, given that Sol's normals are still damn good. Of course she can YRC her H disc to mess the opponent's DP input but it's not like she can always rely on that. She can hard bait it of course, but that's not the biggest issue but rather the fact that Sol only needs one good hit to turn the tides while Millia has to work harder and can still lose despite that.

Just to correct some of this info here:

- Millia beat Sol handily in every version of XX except maybe Slash. +R was probably 6.0 for her and AC was even better since Sol really struggled to do anything at midrange in that game.

- This advantage was because of Millia's superior normals and antiair - Sol basically had very little that could deal with reactionary Millia 2H AA, and her far S and 2D controlled the ground game really well. In Xrd, it looks like Sol's normals may be buffed in priority (or Millia's were nerfed) as this isn't working out as well when people try to go for the same game plan. The match in Xrd more resembles Order-Sol than regular Sol, when looking at how their normals interact.

- Sol actually wasn't too worried about Pin CHs since it rarely CH him if he went for early 5K antiair, since that move is so fast and enters recovery so quickly. But its true he has to respect it even less in Xrd.

- The biggest change in Xrd is that Millia's oki against Sol is severely nerfed as there is no more 25% meter haircar FRC 50/50, and Secret Garden is not as practical anymore

Still, are all of these changes enough to sway the matchup from advantage to disadvantage? It looks like that's the case right now, but I'm not so sure Sol will keep the advantage as the game matures and people learn how to effectively keep Sol out and force him to take big risks to get in, which has always been his weakness in previous games.

There's JUN and AGF playing Millia, besides Daiji.

 

AGF is playing Millia in Xrd, eh? Awesome, he is like my favourite Anji to watch in +R.

 

I guess... if you wanted to think of it in broad definitions, Anji and Millia do kind of have a similar gameplan.

Yea, except (imo) anjis gtfo options are better and millia's oki 10x more versatile

Anyway thanks to digital versions anyone can play the game on it's release date.

 

 

Not on PS4. And not a single fighter on ps3 has a smooth framerate with no drops ever (not even bbcp), not to mention the netplay. So even though i have also a ps3, the way to go is pc or ps4 for me :/ . Plus the game is easily in the top 3 of best cell shade titles ever made (I will even say the best because the faces are perfect and it has no aliasing, the shadows are controlled and all the animation is using hand drawn key frame as model) so it'd be a shame not to enjoy it with the crisp and smooth graphics, like the arcade version. (If you see how bad the naruto games look compared to the pc version, i don't believe the ps3 version will be anywhere near as good as it should be, hell i'm not even sure ps4 can run it properly)

 

So not on ps4 because they changed the account and psn systems, you can only have "one" real account per ps4. Getting a japanese one would mean losing your real account. But import within 2 or 3 days is always possible if you preorder it from japanese resellers (like nippon yasan).

 

Can't wait to get my hands on it ! I think they really improved the art style too, and the animation is incredible. It's funny how most people weren't convinced at first, and now the polish they gave to the game makes it look like a pure anime. One of the rare times where "oh well they have time to improve" actually was true !

 

I was scared at first about the gameplay "reboot" but I think it's for the best, as of now. It won't drown newcomers, and since GGX lost many fans along the way because of inconsistent releases, so it will be easy to get back to it. And I guess BB fans won't be overwhelmed too. o/

Yep, FAB can still FAB. The balance in the game looks really good, might be the best balance of any release fighting game to date. Potemkin's still the worst character in the game, from the looks of it, but he's still alright. A minor buff would put him into mid tier.

If he had vacuum 2S I think he'd be okay, if he got ac heat knuckle he'd be godlike

2s being its AC/ACR version would give him what he needs, since the new barrier system is very difficult for him to work around because he has absolutely no means to extending his pressure once the opponent presses barrier lol.

True. About the barrier though it is just insane how far it pushes away

So videos of Fino's Venom is up on Nico (the usual reuploaders on Youtube will put them up soon if they haven't already) and I want to say that Fino's Venom so far is the best and most creative I've seen so far of all the Venom's that have been recorded. I like him more than 310 and HEVEN at this point. People are still not using enough HS Carcass Raid YRC in the corner to pressure, lock down jump outs, and still get high/low/throw from TK Dive Sticks.

Also it's interesting to note that charging up QV seems to act as a projectile wall in itself and seems to nullify projectiles, at least seen against another Venom in a mirror match.

 

In regards to Potemkin, it turns out you could follow up full screen/mid screen Slidehead into ICPM and it still forces the opponent to get up with the same duration as if you were to hit normally with ICPM in a combo or as an air-to-air.  So it seems to be a better alternative to gain distance after a successful Slidehead unless you know you can get a safe jump set up.  I also like how his 6K allows him to combo into Giganter and Gigantic Bullet more easily from a run of the mill bnb.  People are using Hammerfall YRC a lot, but I'm surprised that not many people seem to be testing out Megafist YRC and fall empty into Buster or do left/right with j.HS and airthrow OS.  I feel the player really making the most use of the new RC system so far is Samitto with his Chipp and going for Find Me and Teleport YRCs, or doing Alpha Blade and making it recover better by YRCing the follow up instead of making it RC/PRC on its own.

 

I really want to see this game develop!

Any word of when rammy is coming out?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I heard she will be added in a patch that is coming out sooner rather than later. I think I heard that it will be sometime during April, though I might be wrong. I know for sure that it will be sometime before the summer. I'm pretty stoked to see her in action, she looks super sick!

Yea, I wonder how her playstyle is going to turn out, I imagine something like dizzy but less summons and more offensive preference

There is some footage of her from the recent Loketest that you can find. You are on the right track with the Dizzy comparison. She has the same setup style oki, but her neutral seems to be more about footsies and less about zoning. You should check it out!

Sol is completely ridiculous in Xrd, so I don't think praying for new tech is necessary :P
