SolxBaiken Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 girls with more revealing costumes ... Baiken Wait, what!? Baiken just had cleavage, and it was like, "eh" I have the feeling that they are going to be more conservative this time. We're talking about the same Japans right?
TheMonsterKing Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 or new character. uh theres this weird nazi looking knight who looks nothing like any character in guilty gear
Kitsoru Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 You know what, I might be getting him confused with someone else. I swore I remember something about another dude working with Daisuke on GG. That would be Pachi I presume you mean, but as far as I know he only had a say on gameplay stuff, not design?
Mumm-Ra Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 uh theres this weird nazi looking knight who looks nothing like any character in guilty gear You mean Potemkin?
LeonD Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 You mean Potemkin? LOL it's Pot! XD surprise for him...
Zero Reputation Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) It blow my mind that people are complaining about the change to Potemkin. Literally Potemkin was one of the worst character designs in fighting game history and they finally change him into something interesting and people bitch. He was a muscle dude with one of those things around his neck that dogs have put around their heads at the vet after they get surgery. http://bostonzest.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fc42bb88834015436a8979a970c-400wi Edited August 6, 2013 by Zero Reputation
Soothesayer Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah I was being dumb, blinded my by frustration with Mori's art direction. Though now that you mention it, how exactly do they reach these designs? I know DI isn't the only guy doing all of them all by himself with the final say and everyone else just has to do what he says. I figured the GG bible probably went into greater detail but...maybe I should ask Blade or something so he'll give me a 55-page essay for 2pages worth of answers lol. But yeah thanks for that correction. I'm all hyped now, really looking forward to where this game will go, though part of me has that fear it'll end up like MvC3 and just disappointing me soooooo hard.
SolxBaiken Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Like many things, hundreds and hundreds of meetings, collaborations, and compromises. If Ishiwatari-san had his way, we'd be playing Barbarian May = w= also Ishiwatari did work on conceptual work for BB
Soothesayer Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I have a theory this might not be the same Potemkin from before, but a successor or something and Potemkin is now going to be sort of like Yoshimitsu, a legacy character. Maybe that's why his face is hidden? Or it could be him better suited for his position in Zepp's army. VVV I know he did some bonus artwork for CS/extend. His one of Rags and Jin is pretty cool.

Never heard this before...
Vashimus Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Source? Never heard this before... Daisuke did the character select portraits for Continuum Shift.

Literally Potemkin was one of the worst character designs in fighting game history and they finally change him into something interesting and people bitch. He was a muscle dude with one of those things around his neck that dogs have put around their heads at the vet after they get surgery. I prefer his old design too. The new design with whole "huge robotic soldier" thing going on, while it makes sense canonically, is starting to seem cliche to me now. But whatev, I'll get used to it. If they actually made other costumes and Old Potemkin was one of them though, I'd put it on every time. Edited August 6, 2013 by Vashimus
SolxBaiken Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Source? Never heard this before... Calamity Trigger Material Collection. Keep in mind, CONCEPTS, so no idea what all was used or to what extent. If I'm not mistaken Mori, Katoh, and Daisuke were the most prominent concept artist. Daisuke did the character select portraits for Continuum Shift. Pretty sure that was Yuki Katoh, Ishiwatari has done very little official BB art.
Mumm-Ra Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Daisuke did the character select portraits for Continuum Shift. No he didn't.
Jocelot Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Potemkin's new look definitely caught me off guard, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Gonna miss the bigass collar, but whatevs lol. I'm really interested in seeing what his new ICPM is about, I'm just picturing Pot flexing which results in a fullscreen explosion.
Chipp12 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah the one who did these in CS worked on Phase Shift illustrations.
Blade Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I am so hype for Chipp now that he can wall cling like Strider ala MAHVEL! Side note: there's a running gag with some Grapplers in fighting games where they changes costumes and make a winquote comment "Don't you recognize me!?" (Birdie does this in Street Fighter Alpha).

If I'm not mistaken Mori, Katoh, and Daisuke were the most prominent concept artist. Ahh, hm! Makes sense. I'll have to go looking through the materials again, because I feel like I might know which ones (Those pencil sketches everyone had that were printed really tiny, I always thought the perspectives looked a little Daisuke-ish...) I'm really interested in seeing what his new ICPM is about, I'm just picturing Pot flexing which results in a fullscreen explosion. Yes plz
Vashimus Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 No he didn't. Then fuck Wikipedia. I thought that for the longest time. Anyway, he did do some concept art for Blazblue. http://img4.gelbooru.com//images/785/c21d04ec11b07c50faae73ba118754eb.png?928454 http://img4.gelbooru.com//samples/717/sample_eebf555a98bcced89f1dda9b738a090688cc5e19.png?860208
SolxBaiken Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure EVERYONE is going to say "who the hell are you!?" once they go up against Botemkin, well everyone but Jam maybe = w=
BladeOfJustice7 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Potemkin's new look definitely caught me off guard, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Gonna miss the bigass collar, but whatevs lol. I'm really interested in seeing what his new ICPM is about, I'm just picturing Pot flexing which results in a fullscreen explosion. HE'S GONNA BE FLEXING ON NIGGAS-LITERALLY!!! His new design really threw me off, but he sorely needed it. He no longer needs to hold himself back in combat and he's no longer a slave of Zepp. I wonder if he's partially cyborg now or if he's just wearing mechanical glove/gauntlet. EDIT: Was not hoping for May. I would like to see how Ky is going to play in addition to how it'll work with his more difficult matchups; Potemkin and Venom. Glad they were confirmed for the loketest. Chipp has a shit load of new moves now, AND a kunai. Really looking forward to seeing him and how Zansei Rouga will look like in 3d.

destruction_adv Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I kinda like the new designs, but I did like Pot's old one better. Right now I'm most looking forward to May though, I don't know why. EDIT: I just noticed May has a little bit of empty space on her pony tail there, could she have win tails now? (I can dream right.) Edited August 6, 2013 by destruction_adv
edollarports Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 ROBO-POT, just like Ishiwatari envisioned. POT EXPLOSION ending confirmed canon gg (not really. I'm waiting for it though.)
SolxBaiken Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Having actually seen the Before and After of Botemkin, I'm genuinely curious as to what human Tager looked like...
Jocelot Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah they want ICPM to replace Slide Head as his way of getting in. It'll be 1 frame, fullscreen and unpunishable. Pot is a slave NO MO. Potemkin Unchained
Blade Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I kinda like the new designs, but I did like Pot's old one better. Right now I'm most looking forward to May though, I don't know why. Given how Potemkin has always been the "coder/tester/programmer" of the games (Hideyuki Anbe anyone?), this could just be an alternate costume test.
