Chipp12 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Hope they would be done without that Yuhki from Galneryus...
GF9Returns Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Really excited now to hear all the new versions of everyone's themes in Xrd. Really can't wait to hear the new rival versus themes as well, though nothing will ever beat Still in the Dark. And I'm hoping Valentine comes back just so I can hear her awesome song. I somehow hope that the Xrd version of Still in the Dark has a piano playing in either for a solo or for the beginning, like this for example.(http://youtu.be/dILd4K1HKec for the first 22 seconds) Anyway let's get back on topic before we all get warrants. Now the cinematic K.O. part bothers me a bit. IMO, it should only be suitable for the ending of the very last match or for a overdrive finish. I hope they change that.

You could do a lot more with Still in the Dark. The most striking parts are the intro and the acoustic guitar solo, the rest of it is actually rather bland and representative and could well do with some more instruments and some flair. Which given how they wrote the BB music, will likely be what we get.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I wonder if we're actually going to get a sample of the new music. I want to see if/how Daisuke could make Holy Orders 4 sound better than 3.
Kitsoru Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I wonder if we're actually going to get a sample of the new music. I want to see if/how Daisuke could make Holy Orders 4 sound better than 3. We did already. Vastedge videos. I do wonder if any of those songs will end up being actual character themes, and the ones we've come to know will be replaced. There seem to be quite a few new vocal tracks in Vastedge, I can't imagine they're all just OP/ED songs or Vastedge exclusive?
HoudiniJr100 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I haven't seen any Vastedge videos yet. vastedge forum has one, though there's commentary...honestly didn't care for it, seeing slayer made me happy
Kitsoru Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 There's several in the Vastedge thread actually, but here's the links together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG7Ta_eiDO0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5hiD3aItMg http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1378983295 http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1380198242 <-- newest one
the_d3v Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 MarkMan from MadCatz hinting at a possible Tournament Edition 2 stick for Xrd. https://twitter.com/MarkMan23/status/385950269663481857
BladeOfJustice7 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Sadly, I would buy that... I don't understand how ArcSys is so skilled at stealing the contents of my wallet... How does everyone who mains the characters that were available in the loketest feel (based off the footage) about the new and removed tools to their characters? Example: how do Sol players feel about the removal of sidewinder? How do potemkin players feel about the removal of judgment gauntlet (I think that's the name of his FB)? The reason I ask is because there was a discussion going on before about necessary and unnecessary moves that were added throughout the GG iterations. ACR's balance update really brought that to light for me personally. Their method of balancing the game by giving characters tools they used to have in #R (Ky's old 6hs, Sol's meterless fafnir as examples) in order to make them better. And also adding even more FB's, which some of them feel unnecessary like Ky's FB greed sever, as well as the famous SB mechanic which really hurts certain pressure tools in the game that weren't made to deal with those things. Like how SB has been able to shut down the use of Ky's 3hs and to a lesser extent CSE oki. Thereby making the game more balanced but also more complicated than it needs to be, and a game doesn't to be complicated to be deep, nor does it need to be complicated to be fun. Now that we've seen footage, how does everyone feel about; AC, ACR, and where Xrd is headed?
TheRealBobMan Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Can Ky cancel the 1st hit of his 3H into specials/supers? 23 frames on startup is slow enough to react to with a SB if you predict the move (leaving yourself open to other things in the process), but people are generally worried about SB against the second hit, right? Considering the move recovers 3 frames after the second hit, and SB reduces block-stun to 2 frames, the only guaranteed punish would be a throw, but that's not even an issue if 3H is spaced properly. It'll ruin his pressure, but it's not like he's getting punished for using the move.
ElvenShadow Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I want that stick (as long as it looks cool)
Kitsoru Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/730/730824/ ArcSys 25th Anniversary book is going to contain a short story (possibly prologue?) to Xrd, it sounds like. Says Ky-centric, if I'm not mistaken. Interesting...
Suzaku Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Three stories. The Unseen Sign (Guilty Gear) is about Ky and bridges GG2 and GGXrd. The other two, Scarlet Rose and Evergreen Eyes, are for BlazBlue, and are about Rachel awakening after a long time and having a reunion with someone, and about Sister Celica and her relationship with Ragna, Jin, and Saya.
TAI-X Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 The PS4 is going to need its own arcade stick for this game. MadCatz is already preparing to roll out Xbone sticks for KI3, so I'm sure they'll have this covered too.
Kitsoru Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Tenjin's friend posted this translation of the short story excerpt available on dengeki on her tumblr: http://anuhesut.tumblr.com/post/63654602542/invisible-omen-sign So it seems the incident that took place in Overture is now known as 'Baptism 13' (sideeying Ky on that one... also nice titledrop already, lol).
SoWL Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 That Man confirmed for playable! Jokes aside, that was anti-climatic. Lots of stuff we already knew and some stuff that people outside of Japan don't care about.
Kitsoru Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 and some stuff that people outside of Japan don't care about. Let those people be the judge of that, huh? What was it?
SoWL Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Let those people be the judge of that, huh? What was it? Sorry for that. There is going to be an event where you can buy the anniversary artbook and have it signed by Ishiwatari and other artists.
TAI-X Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I think the point of this rehashed announcement was to reach out to BB players who may not be familiar with the GG series or keep up with Xrd news. I'm still fully expecting a Saya DLC announcement sometime next month.
9TNine Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Huge, huge plot conversation. I-No's mole changed sides! (XX Series it's on her left, Xrd it's on her right. It's based off Shiina Ringo, who had it on the left.) Clearly one of them is an imposter. -9
Jocelot Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Ehh, luckily November is nearly upon us. Waiting until the loketest for some sweet new info from those lucky enough to get hands is an award in itself.
