I'll post all the loketest articles here, since the thread got so huge in so little time: http://www.radiokaikan.jp/press/?p=17669 http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/690/690703/ http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/690/690981/ http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/690/690981/index-2.html http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/691/691064/ http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/691/691064/index-2.html http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/691/691064/index-3.html http://www.famitsu.com/news/201308/09038147.html http://www.famitsu.com/news/201308/09038202.html http://www.inside-games.jp/article/2013/08/09/69405.html http://www.4gamer.net/games/216/G021678/20130809092/

Yeah, for example, check the sign here above the Duel gear: www.famitsu.com/images/000/038/147/5204751ee196a.html

Still fascinated by the sheer amount of text on the characters. It's like they know people are going to pay lots of attention to the models and figured they might as well reward them. Also, love all the loketest signs on the stages - it means they are easily customizable.

Speaking of small, but useful features, you should check out whether you recover by pressing or holding a button. And some people were worried about IBs, might as well check that (though I expect it to be there).

Okay, that's just enough JoJo references for me. Keiji's tongue-twister 1koma was damn amazing. And Sugita got even more respect from me (is that even possible?) now that I know who's on his mousepad. I'm gonna miss this show, please don't make the break too long. That said, I wonder if they're going to do something similar with GGXrd?

So that's why they need more Terumi loketests. Makes sense, makes sense.

Can't beat something that's not finished yet, huh.

The info blurb on the official guide book says that it contains info on 32 characters + 2 DLC characters, which is why everyone suspects the roster to be almost final. Kinda sucks if it is, my favorite part (Stone Ocean) deserves more love.

Still no Kagura playable? Man, ASW are weird.

All those alternate outfits, my God. Especially glad that we got coat Jolyne and top hat Caesar. The matches exposed the AI's weakness to projectiles and barriers all over again - my poor Pucci almost got C-Moon, but decided to rush in instead of chanting the last two words. At least Valentine was absolutely amazing - that DOJYAAAN right before the time-out made my day.

Those are brilliant. I wonder how they're going to look in 3D - Instant Kills are (probably) going to be fully cinematic, after all.

Well, it's not like Chipp or May have no new design elements at all, it's just that their general image stayed about the same (and don't forget, we only got two images of each of them). As for Venom, I suppose it makes sense for him to reflect his loyalty to late Zato by keeping his outfit the same - and even then, as someone else has said, it got its own fair share of subtle changes, too.

- Millia deserted the Guild; - Potemkin grew up in rank; - The rest have little reason to go through any radical redesign. And I suppose the animation is going to stay the same, if only as a visual cue for experienced players (like how the models are different between DotA and Dota 2, but still similar to prevent any confusion).

I feel like aerial approach is going to be key against Tager, since his anti-airs are still kinda bad, and the best he can do is jump towards you with j.B or j.360C or something like that. And Bullet beats that all with a good j.D or j.B. 3C is also surprisingly effective against his big pokes, like 5D or 5C, so it won't be hard to condition him against using those. And of course, you can spam Flint Shooter and bait some Sledges.

Huh, my predictions hit pretty close to the mark besides the lack of Eddie. Wish we could have Faust, but Potemkin is enough for me for now. This is why I love Pot's new design so much. First, it's been long overdue since around GGXX (when he became a proper soldier under Gabriel's command). Moreover, his uniform resembles Gabriel's a whole lot, so I wouldn't jump on the Panzerfaust bandwagon so soon (though I admit, that'd be hella cool). And hey, he might actually discard it all before Magnum Opera for a nice throwback! Chipp and Venom are about the same, though I wish Venom didn't cover some of the ubiquitous clothes text. May, on the other hand, is just different enough for me to like it. ぺろぺろ! Sweater puppies are a miracle of the universe, though.

You realize that the participants of the poll are mostly Japanese, right?

When did they update the website with the system and character info? IIRC, it wasn't at midnight, but later. So I wouldn't expect this update to happen at midnight, either.

"Hilarious" is the only thing I can say about that article. As for the comeback mechanics, they get way too much flak in the FGC (much, much more than in other games), to the point that everyone thinks that each and every comeback mechanic is bad. The fact is, they are not. Comeback mechanics are good and healthy for games for many different reasons, but all it takes is a vocal minority to make them look bad. If you're so better than the comeback-abusing noobs, then play around these mechanics.

Don't worry, he won't - he's going to be a model edit this time! Anyways, like I said, they are probably going to implement the problematic characters like Eddie early so they get more time to test them. They might also try and diversify the roster ASAP, so people can test characters against a variety of playstyles.

That he should judge the game system as a whole instead of complaining about certain mechanics missing. Wait till the game is out, basically. Or at least till the loketest starts and ASW get some feedback.

That's how it's always been in GG. And since Barrier (FD) costs meter here, it hurts your defense just as much.

I can only hope that ASW themselves will provide some new footage of the game, since that's exactly what people want at this point.
