There is going to be a 3v3 Xrd console tourney at Singapore's Game Start Asia.  Playstation is supplying the PS4s and Madcatz is bringing the TE2s.  I really hope we get more gameplay footage of Sin and El.  Does anyone know if Tough Cookie TV will be streaming this?

That is awesome. I bet they will stream it second to sf4

Again, news is new, don't wander into char design and art stuff too hard, that belongs in the zepp museum. Also we already had mention of the covers way back, no need to bring that back up. I'd rather not get into that on here cause touchy subject for some people.

The thread has been wandering in and out of topic even though I gave out a warning before. Seriously guys, please.

Huh. Yeah, if there isn't an art discussion thread for xrd that should totally be made.

Now, returning to the news and gameplay, has anybody found IK combos yet?

I've been wondering about that myself. Now that Axl Bomber is back to its upward angle, with an activation made beforehand and with the added RC slowdown I would think for sure that would be a cheap way to steal a few wins. But since I haven't seen that happen yet I'm guessing there's a safeguard of sorts.

Anybody who wants to make it in the Zepp Museum is more than welcome to. There's a lot of good art based on the Xrd designs, official and fan.

The main limitation to IK combos is that the opponent has to be in Hell Fire, and they enter Hell Fire at a much lower life percentage when in the middle of a current combo. As such, it's tough to perform an activation and still land the IK near the end of a longer combo, where you're running out of untechable time. Plus you have to still have 50% Tension available to get the screen freeze when activating during Hell Fire. These requirements altogether reduce the practicality of IK combos.

 

Now if your opponent is already in Hell Fire when you start, that's a different story.

If nobody else makes it, I can probably do it later tonight.

Oh yeah, you bet.

Do tell...

Edit: Sorry, missed your other post. That Dragon Instal IK combo is freaking awesome.

Oh, hey, Sol's new IK is called Branding Breach? I shouldn't be surprised that they renamed it, since its animation is brand-new, but it's been so long since we first saw it, I totally missed that we didn't see its new name anywhere. And of course, that doesn't concern just Sol.

Yeah, anyways, to close on that subject, the art change was for ESRB guidelines, and it was ASW, not Aksys, that changed it (as Akselziys mentioned in a Xrd Gaf topic), and the game will not he change her in any way (as Yamanaka in a tweet mentioned), so in short, don't worry about it. (I'll probably copy/paste this post over to the Xrd Art topic whenever that's made as a reminder.)

OT though, yes, the pre-order stuff is nice, but yeah, it would be nice if stuff like that would be brought overseas, but as it is, its always a JP only thing for such lots of stuff.

I thought it was still "Napalm Death", just a different way, even Ky still has "Rising Force", but done differently.

Wait, you can get into hellfire in the middle of a combo? I thought that it activated after the combo ende/was dropped after a certain threshold, not during the combo.

Well sol's new IK is literally something brand new. Rising Force is still a super flashy stab, with all the super colorful blue lightning of Ky.

It can happen mid combo, but the threshold is much lower (10%, compared to 20%).

Shieeettt IK combos actually viable this time around? I like that. I mean they'd be hard to do I guess, but not as strict as astrals.

The freezing thing happens in any round or just the last one? Like in bb.

Pretty sure you only get the time freeze when your opponent is in hellfire and you have 50% when you're on match point.  You can only combo into IKs under those conditions too, as far as I know.

 

Someone needs to double check if you can hit someone OTG with an IK and still have it count.  Might not work for Sol's, but it seems like it would be important info for setting up IK combos.

 

 

Also, I feel bad for anyone that pre-ordered from Amazon.  I just got my shipping confirmation E-mail and I'm expected to get Xrd on Dec 29th.  Good thing I'm getting the JPN version to get an extra few weeks of play time before I have to go back to work.

 

*EDIT*

I pre-ordered through Amazon long ago and picked the "Free Shipping" option to save money, since I figured I would get the JPN version to have extra time with the game and didn't expect that the release date would be so close to the JPN date.  There are options for "release date" shipping, so don't freak out.  I just put an order in a cart to calculate shipping and it looks like it's about $5.

The tourney is taking place over 2 days, 1 day for qualifying and the next for finals. I personally don't think there will be a stream for the qualifying rounds. There are like over 24 teams and a SF highlight is happening at the same time at the main stage area.

 

Finals are probably getting streamed but it's only between the last 2 teams, i don't know if there's much to see :/

 

I managed to have a spot in this tourney, let's see what Bedman can really do.

Funny, I got an email saying I was guaranteed release date, and I did another preorder (to get cheaper shipping) and I was given the same date. Maybe try starting a new order to see what date you're guaranteed?

Okay, I'm a bit confused here. So when the opponent is in Hellfire Mode you're able to combo into IK because the IK activation causes a brief freeze time?

 

EDIT: Never mind, just read the wiki for clarification.
