Stellarcircle5 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Eki-chan is apparently switching from Millia to Faust by the way. Oh god this makes me so sad. As if everyone and their mom wasn't using Faust already.
king of heart Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 SF is all inside Capcom. ASW out sources to Aksys (sometimes) for localization. BBCP was done all by ASW and they wanted to get the Japanese release completed before they worked on other languages. They haven't even made public how they are handling GGXrd for console so you'll have to wait and see. Personally i wish that Sega could handle the localization of Xrd if they had a NA branch. Anyway thanks to digital versions anyone can play the game on it's release date.
youcanwonder Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I don't need English voices...just make it subtitled I'll be happy w that lol

Kurushii Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Personally i wish that Sega could handle the localization of Xrd if they had a NA branch.Sega has no ties to GGXrd except that it's the distributor for the arcade release.
Narroo Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I don't need English voices...just make it subtitled I'll be happy w that lol I would like English voices. For instance, Makoto from BlazBlue would be a lot less entertaining if I couldn't understand what she's saying.
D.R.F. Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 That's why subtitles Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
rayplay Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 English voices work far better than having subtitles appear during a fight, especially given how much characters talk.
D.R.F. Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 ... subtitles would be hilarious my bad Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
youcanwonder Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 English voices suck in fighting games that weren't made here...just my opinion lol
Stellarcircle5 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I really don't see the point in this debate given it is one of the most discussed subjects on anything anime related. Arcsys may keep in line with old GG games and leave it as JP voices only. Then again, given that their other two fighting franchises feature pretty solid localization in the voiceover department, it wouldn't be too surprising if they added an English cast. There are valid arguments on each side, but the console version is still a ways off, and the game is still really new, so I wouldn't be sure on either outcome just yet. But if there IS an English cast, Ali Hillis as Millia plz.
TheRealBobMan Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 If they allow English voices, there should be independent toggles for each character, like how in AC SO/OS can be switched between Daisuke and... I think the other guy's name is George Nakata? Whatever, not important. It sets a precedent that they could put toggles in for both languages on an individual basis. Gotta have Wakamoto voicing Johnny. Not sure if I could handle a different Zato/Eddie either. Troy Baker as Joel Badguy would probably be fine if Daisuke is dead set on voicing random soldiers instead of Sol. So... I know some people have been grinding through footage to get frame data already... anyone check to see what the recovery time is like on IK-activation when you have 50% meter and the opponent is in Hellfire? I want to know if the time-stop effect is "safe". Going to run some bullshit DP-bait oki if that's the case.
Circuitous Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 It seems like the freeze lasts the entire length of the IK activation.
SoWL Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Mid-match subtitles would be, uh... hm. Well, JoJo ASB already kinda does that, and it doesn't get too obstructive.
Ronove Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Oh god this makes me so sad. As if everyone and their mom wasn't using Faust already. He cited as reasons that: - he has more fun using Faust, feels less frustrating and more rewarding overall - Millia is strong but he feels like he can't bring out all of her potential, and with her tachimawari being weaker than other characters he feels like no matter how much effort you put she can still lose to silly things because of that (specially against Sol and Ky). He blames mostly himself though rather than the character. On the other hand, Nakamura might finally be giving Xrd Millia a shot, though he still isn't excited he clearly said he hasn't given up on the idea yet.

If her neutral game was as good as Sol or Ky she would be way too good. I'm all for people having fun with a character a well. It's just shitty seeing the best Millia hopping aboard the already packed Faust train when the number of Millia players is already low. Here's hoping Nakamura will bring some of his wild playstyle in full force for Xrd. I've been wanting to see him play more than anyone else.

Troy Baker as Joel Badguy would probably be fine if Daisuke is dead set on voicing random soldiers instead of Sol. Individual voice toggle would be amazing. I love getting to pick and choose, especially since some voices always end up being far better/worse than their opposite. I'm mainly a dub guy, but man, I absolutely adore the JP voice for Azrael in BBCP. My god the man just goes non-stop full ham. Also, I'd bet a large some of my nonexistent money that Daisuke will voice Order Sol when he becomes a "super-special" dlc character. People would eat that up. I know I would.

Here's hoping Nakamura will bring some of his wild playstyle in full force for Xrd. I've been wanting to see him play more than anyone else. There's JUN and AGF playing Millia, besides Daiji. There's also this "unnamed" GG Player at Akihabara's HEY who's second ranked Millia in the whole country (wonder if it's the same "Saint" Millia that Nakamura wants to see in action), no idea who he might be though. If any of the users here who lives in Tokyo or nearby could visit that arcade maybe we could learn a bit about his identity. :X

Kitsoru Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Daisuke made it pretty clear he's not interested in voicing Sol any longer (unfortunately), so I doubt it. What's a tachimawari? neutral/spacing (dunno why not just use that word...)
Ronove Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 neutral/spacing (dunno why not just use that word...) Because it's not. "Tachimawari" is a term that's not been properly translated in other languages because it sums up a lot of situations. There's a long article that I'm translating that talks about tachimawari in general in fighting games. If you want a uncomplete summary of its meaning, tachimawari is a character's ability of controlling the flow of the match (and this doesn't mean only neutral, it applies to all aspects including offense and defense) with the least risks while getting the best return. Characters with good tachimawari are not just characters that are good at neutral, they are characters that are good at keeping/switching the momentum in their favour because of the quality of their moves. If you want an even more badly summed up definition, tachimawari = the quality of a character's moves and movement in terms of risk/return. In Sol's case he's regarded as having one of the best tachimawari in Xrd because of the quality of his moves and normals. He can control the flow/switch fhe flow of the match well with a good/great reward for not as much risk.
rayplay Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 So it's basically a characters general game plan?
