OneSanitarium Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I think that pastebin lists U-zen as wuzen for whatever reason. I may be wrong though, but I don't think so since i've added a video of U-zen winning an area finals.
LeonD Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Alright guys, this antsy attitude that's prevalent in the last couple of pages of the thread isn't helping anything. ^THIS... SO MUCH THIS!!!!!
king of heart Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Anybody knows how the Rank system works in the Arcade ?
D.R.F. Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Isnt just like you start at 1 and go up? (Most likely to 20) If it was a dan system you would start from kyu like in bbcp and vf5
destruction_adv Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Isnt just like you start at 1 and go up? (Most likely to 20) If it was a dan system you would start from kyu like in bbcp and vf5 Do we know if there are multiple Kyu ranks?
Jocelot Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Looks like you can 'Rank Down' as well as up. I didn't know you could go down levels until...well...I saw Ogawa get beat by Machaboo way back when.
king of heart Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I was a 4th dan and i played against a 4th dan Chipp. he beat me then then i challenged him then it it became a rank up match for him and down for me. he won and i got ranked down to 3rd and he ranked up to 5th  then i defeated him like 5 times and nothing happened!
D.R.F. Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Idk. I wouldnt even call it dan. The ranking system calls it "risk-rating"
OneSanitarium Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 It uses the Kyu and Dan Kanji for the rankings though.
AllyOfJustice Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Ultimax and Blazblue are getting a lot of new characters, why isn't Xrd. Since the release date is all the way in December, is that enough time for one or two more characters? (Besides Sin and EL, don't even know if the girl is playable) Â Also since Ultimax is going to have that "arcade lobby" mode I'm hoping Xrd will too. But there should be options to set how many rounds. It's nice to walk around and see that there are people playing the game instead of blindly hoping to connect to someone.
D.R.F. Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Have you actually seen xrds lobby system. Tbh it looks pretty cool, although I too hope it has the arcade lobbies.

Well for Skullgirls they do a character in about 3 months each, but IIRC they're actually fast about it i don't know how long it takes them with XrD. If they planned another character it'll likely already have some work done behind the scenes to get done in time. I'm also willing to be t money (or I would be if I had any) on DLC characters being a thing,
Layer Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 With the way Arc has been handling their DLC business with BB and P4AU, I'm starting to suspect they're holding off on several GG Veterans on purpose just to sell them as DLC the first week and not because they can't finish them in time.
AllyOfJustice Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I'm starting to suspect they're holding off on several GG Veterans on purpose just to sell them as DLC the first week and not because they can't finish them in time. Â Do they just hate GG or something? This is the return of their big fighting game and they put their smallest development team to work on it, and put in less content than the other games. Unless there are secretly unlockable characters/added characters I'm not okay with this. This is raowng.
king of heart Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I wouldn't call Lambda a new character! I really don't know in which language does "a lot" means "One". And yeah it's a character that nobody want! As for Persona, I think Atlus is financing the game, i am not sure. I truly respect Persona as a game even though I didn't play it a lot.
TheRealBobMan Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Keep in mind it takes about a month to go from pushing the "Gold Master button" to First Party Testing to the game launching. A lot of work can be done on DLC in that time.   Though yeah, wouldn't be surprised if they held back an almost-finished character to sell as DLC. You can't go without the characters if you're competitive, and DLC doesn't have as much overhead as the physical product, so the profits are usually pretty good. Also, if a DLC character is accidentally unbalanced, there are scrubs out there that would buy them to win (look at LoL new champions - they usually launch in an OP state and wind up nerfed 2 months later), and competitive players know that it'll eventually be fixed or the game will die so they'll deal with it.   Quite frankly it'd probably be better for the consumers to include all the characters and make stuff like story mode DLC (assuming the base game was a reasonable price to compensate), but story mode is what hooks the non-competitive players so they can't do that. I'm also assuming it's a problem to try to sell cosmetic items in fighting games. If you think about how the majority of sales of that kind of thing are to a very small hardcore market, then consider the main market for fighting games (competitive players), you see the issue. Competitive players mostly wont care about buying extra costumes, and it's hard to appeal to the kinds of players that form the core market that buys that stuff because they wont get as attached. I mean, you sell cosmetics in a MMORPG and people go crazy for it because they're attached to their character. They leveled them up, they wanna play dress-up, or they identify as the character and get into Role Playing so they want to look cool as part of the power/sex fantasy. That shit doesn't work with color palettes, and alternate costumes might require a tech/expense commitment that makes it not worth the sales when the initial market is relatively small (you're not going to get people to go out and buy a niche fighting game because they're excited to go spend extra on the DLC costumes). Maybe they need to bring back Boost Mode from Isuka as DLC and sell cosmetics in that.  ArcSys's strongest option would probably be to sell their OSTs in various formats/markets, especially if they gave a nice discount on complete albums for PS+ users or something. There's a lot of music they could sell, and they don't exactly need to go through a record label anymore with all of the digital options.    Anyway, how long till ArcRevo?
AllyOfJustice Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I wouldn't call Lambda a new character! I really don't know in which language does "a lot" means "One". And yeah it's a character that nobody want!  Chronophantasma: Azrael, Terumi, Kokonoe, Bullet, Amane, Izayoi, Kagura, Celica, Lambda Ultimax: Yukari, Junpei, Ken & Koromaru, Margaret, Adachi, Rise, Marie, Sho Minazuki and another Sho Xrd: Sin, Ramlethal, Bedman  On top of removing half the older cast, removing some mechanics, Xrd also gets the least amount of new characters. This is unfair.
D.R.F. Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Yea man, I feel ya. I pray for more though, and school is occupying much of my time, so I cant cry about it. Gotta do shit right first
Antitidus Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Chronophantasma: Azrael, Terumi, Kokonoe, Bullet, Amane, Izayoi, Kagura, Celica, Lambda Ultimax: Yukari, Junpei, Ken & Koromaru, Margaret, Adachi, Rise, Marie, Sho Minazuki and another Sho Xrd: Sin, Ramlethal, Bedman  On top of removing half the older cast, removing some mechanics, Xrd also gets the least amount of new characters. This is unfair. I strongly believe XRD'll get more characters, look how close P4Ultimax is to release and they're still announcing new characters.  But like that really matters to you, if they announced 5 new characters right now you would find something else to complain about. Honestly, what in the hell would satisfy you?
DeathArcana Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Chronophantasma: Azrael, Terumi, Kokonoe, Bullet, Amane, Izayoi, Kagura, Celica, Lambda Ultimax: Yukari, Junpei, Ken & Koromaru, Margaret, Adachi, Rise, Marie, Sho Minazuki and another Sho Xrd: Sin, Ramlethal, Bedman  On top of removing half the older cast, removing some mechanics, Xrd also gets the least amount of new characters. This is unfair. there is still plenty of time between now and the estimated release date, I too hope that from here on out that if there are more characters announced that we would see more veterans (im still hoping for my main A.B.A.

This is unfair.  CP is a latest addition to the established, relatively risk-free cashcow, and it took roughly 1 year and a half to get that many new characters. P4A2U is an update to a successful fighter spin-off of the more popular game in the more popular genre and is funded by Atlus, so ARC have more cash to spend, and are under stricter obligation to release stuff on time. Xrd is an effectively a reboot of the franchise that was on the backburner, using development methods that according to those articles, while having very lucrative long-term benefits for the small studio like Arc, is a bitch to do in short-term, and for all intents and purposes a gamble to see if it works.
