[Xrd] News & (Theoretical) Gameplay Discussion

[Orrax]

I just randomly thought, could a sol punish a dp with say, Gunflame (yrc) h, gf hits, BB ect? Giving him great damage for 25%?

That should work, but it might not always be practical with the long start up on gun flame.

[SuperJ]

XX johnny sounds ridiculous in xrd without hella tweaking lol. meaty coin, (Y)RC ensenga -> (hit-confirmable on RC) low airdash mixup; shitty non-enkasu downs still guarantee mist with 50% because of time slow; RC mist -> time slow blockstring in case they disable YRC mist; 5H coin -> dash YRC; 25-49% lvl1 K finer YRC OS; divine blade YRC puts the opponent in a year of blockstun unless they reduce the level...

 

i would love to see baiken and anji in the next iteration as their mechanics ruin the 'different RCs depending on opponent state' system

[qwerty]

The way I see Johnny being balanced in Xrd is by making his setups meter dependent. Bacchus Sigh will probably have AC recovery but will be YRC'able, and I doubt Ensenga will be YRC'able.

I do see him keeping Jackhound, but he probably won't be able to use it as a long range confirm such as in AC/+R. It'll keep projectile invincibility and launch on air hit, but the stagger on ground hit will likely be pretty minimal.

As for Jam, she'll get a gun.

 

You mean, the gun from Ky in Vastedge?

 

I suppose it could be just a consolation gift for not wanting to stay with her and rather go after Dizzy.

Hello Guys!

 

This post may seem out of place, but anyway, Any news of Holy Order Sol returning to Xrd -S-? I like this guy on par with Sol. I also like that huge weapon he's wielding and how he uses it.

 

PS: Terrible in English, please excuse. Thanks in Advance! :D

[shinr]

There is nothing about new characters at the moment, except for some rumors that Sin might be a timed release due to having a model ingame.

 

As for Order Sol, you can at least expect a HOS Alt costume for Sol.

 

EDIT: Since we are talking about Order Sol, some posters here have stated that since everything is build from scratch for Xrd in the first place, HOS should be scrapped and his moveset given to the new character, but personally I think that it would be a waste for a brand new character to be a mechanical clone of an old one.

[D.R.F.]

I would like to keep OS' s playstyle in the game, but I understand were your coming from. That and I wanna a new character (Sin) before anyone else. Sorry jam and anji:(

[Clousephinat]

Order Sol is almost for sure the character with a less percentage to appear in Xrd, I think the reason of why is pretty obvious.

 

But I'm expecting to have some more characters being in DLC at the very least, as well as the old track. The Midnight Carnival, Still in the Dark and The Mask Does not Laugh please, if that happens I'm really just a fool ASW, so you don't need to worry, I will bite the bait for sure.

 

EDIT: No one wants That Man to be playable? Who knows, it could be really cool actually, and if Daisuke doesn't want to say anything about the console release yet, it must be because they have something "new" in motion, I guess.

[Notwhoyouthink]

I always though theoretically to me johnny in slash was one of the best characters in the game actually.

[4r5]

I do miss not having to spend meter for meaty jackhounds.

[NesmerII]

I desperately want Gabriel to be playable.

 

Dude's got so much going for him:

 

- Important story/world figure (Zepp Mechanized military FTW)

- Potemkin's mentor and Slayer's rival

- GG could finally have a dedicated grappler that can dash (something like KOF Clark + Bullet)

- Dat 'Stache

 

I'm all for new characters, but I when I see bizarre constructs like Bedman (or even ABA ffs), I become slightly unenthused

 

That man would be sweet.  Lemme stomp some scrubs to the sweet sounds of my evil harpsichord.

[4r5]

back from work

So like, what's the worry with a Xrd Johnny? Random Mist>YRC,Coin>YRC,blockstringetc?

Unless the timefreeze off YRC guarantees a blocked coin, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. And even then, IBing Coin prevents a free MistFiner, or any other routes that would lead to a free Mistfiner. Then there's whatever cast time is on the Mist, plus the YRC startup. Mist + YRC + Punch startup would be like, 20 frames all together. Spend another 50% to bait out your punish with a super? But then the super animation times out the Mist.

 

Ensenga YRC would be a non-issue, since Ensenga isn't a projectile.

 

The real shit would be Transport YRC. If YRC preserves momentum or not, it'd be crazy either way.

And if he keeps Jackhound, you can YRC to setup KOF style meaty mixups.

[youcanwonder]

The yrc teleport could prolly be practiced w bedman and slayer...granted it is their dash...and not a actual move still think it could be tested

[BladeOfJustice7]

I think hs fuujin would be a bit too strong, and very difficult to react to, Hammerfall just has one hit of superarmor and is slow as fuck compared to hs fuujin. Unless they make it so that only a certain distance of start up frame sis YRCable. But honestly Anji lacks pokes, and Johnny I see being playable earlier on since Daisuke was choosing between him and Slayer. It speaks volumes to me honestly, but I can't say Slayer is easier than Johnny.

 

The only thing "complex" about Johnny from my perspective is the coin/mist finer mechanic. Otherwise I'd say they're about the same if not, Johnny is easier. Just my opinion of course, no reason for me to be called a Poopoo Head.

[4r5]

Slayer's lack of having to do an additional 236[P/K/S]~H on every poke or blockstring, and sometimes in combos, is probably why he's easier than Johnny. Oh, and atleast 6 different timings.

[JCraile]

There is nothing about new characters at the moment, except for some rumors that Sin might be a timed release due to having a model ingame.

 

As for Order Sol, you can at least expect a HOS Alt costume for Sol.

 

EDIT: Since we are talking about Order Sol, some posters here have stated that since everything is build from scratch for Xrd in the first place, HOS should be scrapped and his moveset given to the new character, but personally I think that it would be a waste for a brand new character to be a mechanical clone of an old one.

 

 

I see, it can be a downloadable content for Sol (alternate costume or probably Order Sol moveset) or a returning character with a least chance. If Order Sol will return, I would prefer it as a hidden character which can be selected by pointing Sol, press and hold start then press a button (though Arc was not known for this method). IMO this will save space for new or returning characters.

 

Speaking of characters, I like to see Baiken, Johnny, and Anji make their return in Xrd -S-.

 

Thank you very much for the replies. :D

[Destin]

Johnny has much longer recovery on many of his pokes, making missing a simple poke a big deal.  Slayer does not.  Slayer's air to ground and air to air is some of the easiest in the game too.

 

Whenever I play against good johnny's i get the feeling they are thinking many steps beyond what I am.

[Fenrir Werwolf]

Big Tornament in Kyoto this 25 of May, "SEGA Second Tournament".  http://ggxrd.com/wanted/

Also, I exect big news this E3 (it was said he would presentiate), probably news on console release and addictional characters.

Hype?

[River]

Arcsystemworks still not in exhibitors list tho 

[king of heart]

Arcsystemworks still not in exhibitors list tho 

But Aksys are

[Henaki]

Engsegna YRC should still throw the bottle, but Johnny doesn't slash it.

 

Would be a fun little thing Could make his next fire attack do more damage, like leveling up mist finer with coin.

[Poultrygeist]

But Aksys are

That doesn't guarantee anything, they do more than just Arcsys games.

[youcanwonder]

I would think we would hear something after e3...like at the arcsys cup...think that is in Aug and if not that the tgs which would suck bc is so far away lol

[Fenrir Werwolf]

That doesn't guarantee anything, they do more than just Arcsys games.

I think they may talk from the Sony conference, considering the PS3\PS4 esclusive,and since also last trailer was revealed at a Sony conference...
