And the dreams of import or JP PSN purchase are dead. I guess I'll cry myself  to sleep as I watch Xrd streams come December :(

 

As for the tiers,well, as I am rather new to the competitive scene maybe my observations wont hold any weight but I feel that Chipp is borderline broken.

Actually, I think Millia might be better but if someone more informed could educate me on the subject I would apreaciate it.

 

Of course, Faust might be the best in the game as of right now.

There are so many powerful monsters in this game I can't call them broken. I'd rather call FAB broken because he can do all his shit with a character that everybody AGREES is garbage lol. Axl's stale gameplay is what makes him look like shit to me, because considering damage he is amazing.

Hell everyone except venom and millia have decent KILL damage (Not like they don't have high damage combos in their own right either).

The thing about Chipp is that I feel that if he gets in you only have 2 options:

1.) Block correctly

2.) Pray

 

The terror of seeing Chipp teleport in place 3 times in a row only for him to appear above you and fuck you up is real.

@Dai, Chipp's damage is actually pretty good, it may not be Sol/Ky levels, but his damage is decent and pretty damn good in the corner thanks to double alpha blades into oki, or even command grab into alpha blade. I think that also contributes to him being such a strong character, still funny almost no one plays him because of his speed and defense lol.

Pray indeed. I bet Endou and Samitto just love to troll people like that lmao

Buy thats the balancing within this character. His normal stuff stuff not easy, it just is not. And you have to be on point to win with chipp. Especially in XRD there have been too many times that I have seen health bars drop like countdown timers. Chipp and Millia are most affected by that.

The thing is, tier lists matter at comparable levels of play. And the ones you're going to see on the internet from top players apply to the higher levels of play. 

Why do you need to know the characters of which mediocre players are doing better? What difference does that make?

How do you determine who is or isn't a top player to calculate into that? How do you exclude their specific games? What would be the actual point? Do people care what character Jane Doe is winning with against John Doe?

 

To be honest I'd rather know than NOT know though.

 

I mean yeah, it's fine when talking about top players to know who the top picks and best and worst matchups are... but if you aren't the top player or even not hanging around top players, does that make looking in to such information about what's going on around you irrelevant and pointless?

 

Like I said, this isn't really about the players, it's about the matchup odds and how often characters get picked in the local scene.

 

If I were to look up an interactive chart that said (without naming names or giving top players' names) that my local scene picked Sol a lot, maybe that would motivate me to pick Ky more?  Maybe if I knew Axl was going to have an easy or hard time in my local scene, that could help me decide how often to pick him?

 

I just think it would be a useful tool to have.

EVERYONE STFU!

Still can't get over how good the graphics looks, it is going to take a very long for me to get used to when I start playing when it comes out.

i really like hte cooking grenades idea, maybe it will lead to some crossups

 

also hopefully that strawberry graphic is a placeholer because it looked really ugly compared to the rest of the game.

The timer or the actual grenade? I felt that the grenade looked alright.

Really digging Elphelt! Her cuteness isn't overdone like a certain Celica or Marie.

 

Is she a gear? Or is she just another robot of some sort?

the grenade. and i disagree: it's fully unshaded and doesn't animate like the fighters/effects (individual frames), it's just one 3d model spinning on its axis

Hmnmm, Sol has his Vastedge clothes . . .

 

Also that Leo guy gets A LOT of screen time . . .

 

Also dammit, Dr. Paradigm is back lol

I was not expecting that much mobility with the shotgun out, it looks almost like it's just another mode she can be in and operate freely? So do you have Pistol mode, Shotgun mode, and a Rifle Stance?

The reload animation on her rifle looks pretty rough too, but otherwise she looks really god damn cool.

He's also shown toward the end of the trailer with Ram, El and Sin.

its cool theyve got another new character, but as much as i was against complaining about the roster, i'd really appreciate like 2 more returning people to go with any more new characters at this point tbh
