[Xrd] News & (Theoretical) Gameplay Discussion

[shtkn]

Kids should be cute.

and they are comical in their own way.

but they're not "metal" like you were lamenting

[D.R.F.]

Thats why we have i-no and sol. As long as she is a good character, ill be alright with. And hey who knows? Her theme could be some over-the-top screamo shit:D

[king of heart]

but they're not "metal" like you were lamenting

Bridget is IMO.

[youcanwonder]

Good luck Mike make that shit happen bro.

As for the possible new char (sure I would l oke baiken) but I'd be happy w whoever. Still not understanding all the EL talk...where did this El char come from...If anything I'm thinking it's gonna be ex char just w El's in front..I know someone said that earlier but just agreeing lol

a new Valentine?

 

It's like all the new female characters are being designed by Mori.

[Nainsoo]

It's like all the new female characters are being designed by Mori.

Ditto on that...

[D.R.F.]

Get outta my guilty gear you!!!! Bring back Ishawatari! !!:0 lol

[DeathArcana]

There is nothing more heavy metal than her design

[king of heart]

I hope she doesn't end up being a playable character.

They should spend their time and money on the older characters.

They have bigger fan base and people will be more experienced with them and on they top of that the will be easier to balance.

I don't want another overpowered character like Ramlathal.

[DeathArcana]

I mean they have to make new characters, this is a reboot of the series after all

[D.R.F.]

I love the old cast. A LOT. this honestly is the only fighting game series where I like all of the characters (at least in the fighting games) but I want to see new faces and new playstyles. The OGs shouldnt be afterthought, but I do want to see new characters intertwined with the conflict at hand

[king of heart]

Let's not be positive.

We should be seeing Johnny, Baiken, Testament, and Anji.

And where is Izuna or Raven!

Not this crap!

[Calamitus]

We already have Bedman, Sin and Ramlethal, that's enough for this revision. Old characters deserve some love too.

[DeathArcana]

I mean technically Sin is a vet so we only have 3 new people if we count El, plus there is enough time to reveal new characters in the future as it is a while before the game comes out,

[king of heart]

Bedman was broken in the first location test and we had 2 location test to adjust him and make sure that he 's balanced.

Ramlathal had one location test and I don't think it was enough to test the character's true strength.

I don't want another character from scratch.

Sin will be a straight forward character so I don't think he will be broken.

[DaiAndOh]

I mean technically Sin is a vet so we only have 3 new people if we count El, plus there is enough time to reveal new characters in the future as it is a while before the game comes out,

 

Sin is not a veteran. He hasn't been in a fighting game yet. To the GG franchise, he might be, but we're talking on a gameplay sense.

a new Valentine?

 

I like her design, but her costume looks like Valentine's too much, it would be redundant. But her design is very Heavy Metal. In Japan, you can be Metal with dresses and roses : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aToDHLrX75Y#t=4m37s

[shinr]

I hope that she will have guns, so that we will have another obvious reference to Guns 'n Roses along with Axl.

[D.R.F.]

That song was dope

[Jaiven]

diddnt arc say that they wanted to appeal to a larger audience in america with Xrd? these new character designs are doing the opposite imo   

[king of heart]

Trying to figure out the resemblance!

Between that thing and the video.

If we talk about dress and roses that can be heavy metal.

Then Rachel from Blazblue is a better example than this thing.

a new Valentine?

Too "kawaii~" for my taste (even though i play May).

 

But seriously people, this whole "not metal enough/too BBish" shit is stupid. Tell me what's metal about Jam, May, Bridget, Faust or even Baiken?

Characters tend to grow on you with the time. I remember the first time i saw Slayer and Zappa on ggxx, i thought they were a blasphemy for gg, but now i play them and think they are awesome. Hell i didn't like Bedman at first but after seeing him in action i think the robot itself is really weird and cool (kinda like zappa).

 

But i also would prefer original valentine over both Ramlethal and this new pinkie girl.

[D.R.F.]

Fucking love bedman:) seriously though, lets see where this goes

[redsilversnake]

Tell me what's metal about Jam, May, Bridget, Faust or even Baiken?

Dude, Baiken is a one-armed sword user who throws out spikes, chains, and a small cannon from her seemingly empty sleeve, how is that not metal as fuck?

Kenshin Himura with tits is not metal
