TITANIUM BEAST!!! Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 If I can do Millia combos, then you know she's easier than she used to be. Also, I get the feeling that setplay is what dominates the game at high level, and if anyone has setplay, it's Millia.
Dreiko Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 You know why two of my newbie friends picked up Millia way back in 2008? Because you can mash S. Also, her new outfit is cute. Tell em to pick Sin and mash H, that thing actually does DAMAGE lol.
Yukikaze Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Tell em to pick Sin and mash H, that thing actually does DAMAGE lol. Also I think its unsafe on standing hit. I should really link the vid, but i cant find it. I think it was an early pachi demo vid, he got max hits from it and his opponent run up and got a CH.
rubedo777 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Not sure where to ask this but is there anyone in the Toronto area that has been able to get a physical copy of this game? EBGames has told me that they never accepted preorders of the game, never received the game and that they've sent numerous e-mails to the headoffice asking about it and got no responses. I can't find this game anywhere in my area...

Maybe it was an early build? I've not gotten punished with that thing on block (trying to ghetto frame trap people) much less on hit. I guess it *may* be punishable on hit if you do it like, point blank, but you shouldn't be doing THAT. XD

I can't find this game anywhere in my area... That's probably because no local retailer at present is carrying or has any plans to carry the game here in Canada. Your only options are to order online (Amazon or VGP) or get it directly off the PS Store later tonight

Not many people will be good enough do this, but i only watch mikado.

Not many people will be good enough do this, but i only watch mikado. No his DP is like, super duper really unsafe and even it's max range is tiny. Mash H max range is huge and the move is a little negative but range makes it so that if people are far enough they'll still get poked by a disjointed hitbox far S if they try to run in and press buttons. Unless it's something super specific like an Elphelt sniper shot or a Zato drill or something, it should be safe on hit from any reasonable distance.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Wait, Zato spamming Mawaru = easy? Uh, I greatly differ. Sure, it may work when the other dude is someone that knows shit about the game, but if it's someone who actually understands how GG works, nope. If anything, that's as easy to counter as simply throwing a damned projectile at Eddie when he's a chainsaw.
SoWL Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Back when we first saw a playable Sin, people were saying that you can Blitz Shield between his mashy hits, though I'm not sure if it's still true. In any case, you have to actually input a directional motion to perform it, so Millia is still superior
pulisaurus Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 ArcSys should patch in the option to change characters while inside a player match lobby. It's ridiculous that you can't change your character without disbanding the whole lobby if you happen to be the host.
Vlad7779311 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 ArcSys should patch in the option to change characters while inside a player match lobby. It's ridiculous that you can't change your character without disbanding the whole lobby if you happen to be the host. How is that possible? I finish a Player Match, go back to the lobby, and I just change my character, stage and OST. I wish there was an option to invite players when you make that lobby that looks like a large open door (The one that you make after pressing Triangle).

It's ridiculous that you can't change your character without disbanding the whole lobby if you happen to be the host. I think you just have to leave the station and go back to waiting area to do that (on PS3). Definitely no need to disband the whole lobby, we changed around a lot few days ago.

Uncivilized Elk Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Okay, don't know how I missed that, thanks Because it's hidden for some reason, took me a while to find the option as well. I don't think you have to always leave the station even - I recall once being at a station and the option being there, though maybe that's because I hadn't yet played a match and thus the game didn't "lock" me in.
Destin Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Wait, Zato spamming Mawaru = easy? Uh, I greatly differ. Sure, it may work when the other dude is someone that knows shit about the game, but if it's someone who actually understands how GG works, nope. If anything, that's as easy to counter as simply throwing a damned projectile at Eddie when he's a chainsaw. His pressure is crazy easy. He is NOT that difficult in neutral. You can easily pull that guy to mid level without much trouble. Sure, at the highest level, perfect control of the little eddie in neutral takes skill, but it's a myth that he is hard to bring up to mid level.
Antaiseito Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Okay, don't know how I missed that, thanks I accidentaly closed my room by pressing circle instead of navigating to the waiting area, too.... it's not that intuitive. Because it's hidden for some reason, took me a while to find the option as well. I don't think you have to always leave the station even - I recall once being at a station and the option being there, though maybe that's because I hadn't yet played a match and thus the game didn't "lock" me in. Maybe if the other guy didn't press 'start match' yet? Would be nice to know if playing with voice chat, so you can just tell him to cancel...

Final Ultima Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 So, I don't think IB raises your Tension Pulse past it's max threshold (which was character specific) anymore. If it does, I can't tell. It looks like Blitz Shield does raise Pulse/Balance, and it seems like it might be a little bit more than IB gives, though it might be the same amount. It's difficult to test objectively, so I'd need to really sit down and hammer it out rather than do a quick n' dirty test like this. On that note, about a week ago I decided to test that bit of old speculation regarding Tension Balance maxing when Blitz Shielding a projectile specifically, and I observed that your Tension Gain rate does indeed skyrocket. Just go in Versus Mode, build up a bit of Tension, Blitz Shield some Stun Edges and then just dash. For a couple of seconds, it shoots up faster than in any other circumstance.
destruction_adv Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I'm not sure if it's just me not doing it right or if the graphical cue has changed, but can you 1 frame jump in this game? I do it how I used to in AC but I keep getting the dust cloud which I didn't used to get 1 frame jumping.
SBRJCT Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Test it against May 2k-2d. Block the 2k and try and 1f jump the 2d.
nyyyyy Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 So, when will the DLC colors unlock? You can already buy them (I did) but cant select them yet.
Dawn of Musou Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Alright, Xrd is out on NA PSN, along with all system voices except Leo. Elphelt and Sin are available for download too. Leo, his system voice, colors and PSN avatars are coming next week.
Jocelot Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Cool! I see Xrd but not the DLC n add ons, though.
Dawn of Musou Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I found the game in the New Games section on PSN and found DLC in the New Add-ons section. The Xrd DLC stuff isnt the newest thing in the New Add-on section so you're gonna have to scroll down a bit to find it.
