Yukikaze Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 How often do unplayable characters get put on the cover? Can anyone translate the captions and image text for the Leo and new lady image? I would like president Gabriel to be playable, but i suppose this is very doubtful.
the_d3v Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I always found that most people who originally hated 3rd Strike, now gives it some respect. Looking back compared to what we have today. I should've probably worded it better, like: "3rd Strike is often a contender for best SF. Right up there with Alpha 3." Not even close since you picked yet another divisive entry into the series. Especially with how the US scene preferred the much more fundamentally based Alpha 2 while Japan picked the much more rushdown, combo and execution heavy Alpha 3. A better choice would be Super Turbo. But even then, you've got a split between those who like ST and those who think that Hyper Fighting was a purer SFII.
ElvenShadow Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 With good reason, no order sol in xrd What's up with AGF, does he still occasionally play Millia? I haven't really seen AGF around lately.
ElvenShadow Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 what happened to Buppa? he had a great Ky in ac I actually teamed up with Buppa in a Mikado tournament several months ago. We made it to grand finals and lost to Nemo/FAB/Ogawa. There are even vids of that tournament on youtube if you search for it.

ElvenShadow Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Sorry to go off topic but I have a quick question. I didn't pre-order the special edition yet but want to do it soon. What website is best for importing games from Japan and having them shipped to the US? Basically, I want to know which site tends to send things out the fastest. Since I have lived in Japan for years now, it has been a very long time since I had to import any games. Thanks for any suggestions.

I would like president Gabriel to be playable, but i suppose this is very doubtful. Such excellent taste in characters. That's so fucking awesome that classic music got confirmed. Though if I can be greedy for a minute, I would LOSE MY FREAKING MIND if they offered the HEavy Rock versions of the GGX tracks. They're just so damn amazing. And Leo's on the cover. 10/10 will mane. Also, looking at that screenshot of him and the other lady, that is one bitchin looking room they're in. I thought those columns in the back were a fucking pipe organ for a minute. I'll reiterate that Xrd looks so unbelievably gorgeous that even the surroundings are fun to look at. Oh, and why does that unknown chick look like one of the senators sans mask? IS it just me?
Mumm-Ra Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 #whensABA @elvenshadow I mainly use amiami, but they only got the most Vanilla shit, playasia has more bonuses and stuff, if you've got the monies just use tenso proxy service and preorder the famitsu dx pack from ebten.

There are even vids of that tournament on youtube if you search for it. Couldn't find you vs Ogawa's team but I did see a vid where you beat KA2 and Koichi in AC. Holy fuck dude, that is impressive.

I guess we just talk to different people and look at different polls and message boards. Here, I'll rephrase it one last time so everyone's happy and we can drop this topic: "3rd Strike is often a contender for best SF, along with Alpha 2, 3, SF 2, SF 2 Championship and every other SF game ever."

Nah dawg. Just ask around SRK and they'll tell you the same thing I did. The lesson to learn from this is that people will like different incarnations/versions of a game/franchise (even folks are divided between 98 and 2k2, not to mention the UM versions of both). However, the ones that do thrive tend to have players that support the franchise no matter what. Either by actually playing the latest incarnation or by supporting the scene in the background (organizing tournaments, etc.).
D.R.F. Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Ogawa now sits atop the players guild along with the other Kings of Hell at 18th Dan (4th place). A monster indeed
RWA Announcer Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Yikes! If the Zato Master is just 4th, I'd hate to see who the other three above him are!
TeeJay Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Yikes! If the Zato Master is just 4th, I'd hate to see who the other three above him are! Ogawa has been playing catchup as he hasn't had that many matches overall.
DaiAndOh Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Ogawa now sits atop the players guild along with the other Kings of Hell at 18th Dan (4th place). A monster indeed You mean Kings of Fuck Mountain Yikes! If the Zato Master is just 4th, I'd hate to see who the other three above him are! Usually the three 19 Dans have been Woshige, Nakamura, and Samitto.
DeadlyCreampuff Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 So I just went to have a look at the rankings. and a little picture of Sol pops up with "play" So I get a soundbyte of Sol telling me they are in the middle of maintenance XD
shinr Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 http://shoryuken.com/2014/10/02/justice-to-make-appearance-alongside-newcomer-leo-in-guilty-gear-xrd-sign-s-story/ Apparently, that Famitsu scan mentions Justice being alive, at least according to the translation on SRK; Earth is shaken by the tremendous damage. From the chaos emerge those who seek to fulfill their own ambitions. Behind them is the silhouette of Justice, who was supposed to have been destroyed… It might be the Commander Gear herself, her clone, or it is another Valentine wearing something similar to that GG2 Justice-look-a-like Armor that the original Valentine had.
D.R.F. Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 In-game money for OG MUZAK! ?!?!?! ARRGGHHH ARCSYS PLEASE STOP!! YOU ARE MAKING THE WAIT HURT MORE!!!!!!♡♡♡
ivanchu77 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Hopefully Justice ends being playable too, what a awesome and unexpected addition would that be
youcanwonder Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Im still wanting the damn NA release date. The rumors of it being pushed back..i checked on the site (cant remember who else did on here) and it still sayong the 31st. Give me an exact date damn it. Ps. I hope they tone justice down w her missile assualt lol. Pss..still waiting on bacon and zappa
Uncivilized Elk Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Hopefully Justice ends being playable too, what a awesome and unexpected addition would that be Oh Buddha I reaaaally would love that - but I don't see it happening until DLC starts rolling out. Ps. I hope they tone justice down w her missile assualt lol. Uhhm... Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Justice seen as one of the worst characters in GGAC+R?

Pichy Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 He's probably referring to the button macro glitch that gives her outrageously good matchups against some characters. Like Order Sol turns from about even to 8-2, possibly 9-1 in her favour.
TheRealBobMan Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Not going to go too deep into this because it's the wrong thread, but Justice just has very polarizing matchups (IE they're either 7:3 against her, or 7:3 her favor). People seem to mostly remember Justice mains complaining about various weaknesses back when she first came out, and her initial matchup impressions. Most people think, "Oh, I have this projectile that has 60 frames of recovery, I better try to spam it at all times!" and then get hit. If you really want to see how she's doing, look up the individual character threads for vs Justice (like the stuff around this post). If you manage to get most characters out to full screen, which isn't hard when moves like Michael Blade cause 60 frames of floorslide on CH, and then set up the correct nuke formation, it's extremely difficult to advance on Justice. If you ever manage to get in on her, she has some tools to deal with you (like Pot status backdash), and if she knocks you down at close range she actually has strong mixup. The problem is that many Justice mains do silly things in the neutral game and give the other player an opportunity to gain initiative. You don't always have to be spamming nukes since your normals are good, and you don't always want to be running away or trying to get in. So... if you have a bunch of 3:7 matchups, you're not going to be that great, but if you also have a bunch of 7:3 matchups, you're not exactly bad either. How many JPN players are using Justice in +R around now anyway? Did she ever really get solid representation when +R launched? Re Pichy: I doubt he's referring to the macro bug. You can spam nukes without using it. The macro bug lets you get multiple of the same button nuke on screen, but you can still get 5 on screen at the same time without it, and it's still balls hard to advance through even 3 of them if it's the right pattern for the matchup. I don't know what's up, but it's like this one bug made everyone forget about all of the JPN tournament footage that's out there with nuke spam, which is based in arcades, which means the bug couldn't have been used. Being able to have multiples of the same nuke would probably break certain matchups though (imagining Potemkin dealing with multiple K nukes since he can't FDB those). I'll stop now. Anyway, if Justice comes back, as much as I like the whole "rage inducing fortress of projectile whoring" that she's turned into, I'd kinda want to see her focused around mobility again. Like with the 3 air jumps and air dashes, and jump and air dash cancels on everything. Also remembered the possibility that Leo and Justice could end up in the "OP boss character that's exclusive to the console version and not intended for competitive play until the next game comes out" camp. And obligatory reaction to the music news. Sweet merciful crap am I hyped for this game.
