so uh, did anyone or is anyone gonna translate the new mechanic? did i miss it?

apparently theres a brand new system mechanic? that blog post seems to be a summary of all of the system changes by the way. edit: basically talks about random stuff we already know, IB changes, guard crush stuff, 5b5c only barrir guardable in air but the new mechanic i dont think ahs been mentioned yet.

ggxx had an amazing announcer. i still have no idea why they didnt reuse him for AC

the past 2 games have been put on sale before evo (by a few weeks) with a similar release date and also they don't have to develop nearly as many features since i assume they wouldn't actually add anything besides maybe a challenge mode. more games should just use the FUC announcer.

no dates have been confirmed so people need to stop acting like things one guy said like a year ago hold any water today. will it be a console patch? probably. will it happen when the arcade version comes out? who the fuck knows.

well, thats pretty much the same reason cf will never get cs2 lol. fucking nesica. no one knows when we're getting the patch.

we did?

to put more emphasis on actually having an advantage and maintaining it. you know, good gameplay design.

Haha american arcades? Son what are those, Japan got that shit on lockdown. RIP Playing arcade games when they come out

yeah pretty much this all we need is a one frame hole, anything with could 360a before we can likely still 720. overall, just the actual system changes are really good and imo will improve the game a lot.

the charge buff helps a lot for defensive options (assuming he has meter and he can just IB without punishing for that). on top of this unlike a lot of characters he doesnt need as many frames for IB -> punish in a string (3 for 360a, 1 for 720) unlike say bang or staffless litchi. imo he hurts less than MOST characters for the IB nerf. though any character with a real dp is obviously better off than him.

yeah pretty much. also the IB change + the new volt charge -> 720 change means tager effectively has a similar power to "IB" certain things, while no other character can really do that to him. plus this makes A sledge viable (i would believe), meaning that tager has a guessing game with repeatable pressure. it isnt potemkin good but it is also meter free so... that alone i think just turned tager from "worlds biggest gimmick" to "character with fundamental tools to win very poorly with a shitload of gimmicks". if these changes stay in, sans some colossal fuck up on arcsys part, tager will be a capable character.

yep, thats a better change than the ease of use so whatever. tager players, rejoice. we now have repeateable pressure.

wait i thought they lowered the amount of frames that requires???? nerfing IB advantage is the single best buff tager could possibly get. edit: for the record that makes IBing A sledge -5, making it basically UNPUNISHABLE. holy shit that is honestly one of the biggest buffs they could give tager.

HOLY SHIT IB IS HARD NOW. what are you doing arcsystems? are you sure this isnt guilty gear?

he was there in spirit im sure.

making A sledge +1 on block would make it unpunishiable on IB. if its unpunishable on IB, you can cover the frame disvantange you would have (their button > your button) with either A driver or the followup to sledge (which will blow through that hit on auto-guard). meaning that A sledge, even if IBed, is a useful tool and on a good read you can keep your pressure (or simply choose to block). also making A sledge +1 on non IB means that if you dont IB it, tager has a blockstring worth half a damn.

also iirc zidane has personally "beaten" dacid twice. once at cf and once at seasons beatings sooooooooooo. ps i posted this in the tager thread but its pretty on topic: imo the guardpoint on hammer is probably a good thing but what would necessitate it being a really useful change is making it so A sledge isnt punishable on IB (if it left him at -5 in almost all cases...). this would mean people wouldnt be able to mash their favorite button after an A sledge IB generally, meaning you have a POTENTIAL for mixing people up after it. meaning he has sort of risky but repeatable pressure. an interesting change but depending on how it plays out, might be totally worthless or amazing. edit: hell, making A slege +1 on block would go MIIIIIIIIIIIILES.

we've been getting lots of information each day, i dont think this is done. edit: its 10am in japan so, news will probably start soon.

sometimes you just get this overwhelming feeling. sometimes... you gotta call a dacidbro out.

hey bro that's not how you u'se apo'strophe's ju'st 'sayin.

Keep rollin' rollin' rollin'. For the record I got IP Banned for pissing off Mr. Wizard, not leaking (but that contributed a lot to it).

okay for the record you should never ever ever make: #1 zoning character grapplers taokaka s tier and preferably a tier (but if the game is tightly balanced that can be okay).

taokaka is probably the most obnoxious good character ever and along with tager should never be s tier sorry.
