When you're spectating, just press options/start and select go back to lobby. Does that work for you or would you need something that works before the load?

So is there no more hurtbox transition in GGXrd? Because that version of fuzzy guard was also used in GG to create situations where jumpins or upper body attacks would hit against enemies that can duck those attacks normally.

This is a bit of a fringe case and isn't new, but you can input 4+H+D and it will choose to (option select) 1. invuln dust 2. "kara" dust into throw (coincidentally you should get the invuln property from D as well) Played around with it and applied it against I-no's mixups on Mission 50. Option selecting in this mission allows you to never have to guess and will either throw or invuln dust except for one mixup which you can block confirm easily as you can clearly see no throw or dust starts up. (Of course it will be different on real people.) Here's a video doing S Rank on it using Option Select: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEVh8iq8ARU ----------- And for people wondering: invuln dust kara'd will transfer invuln to the move done after. Kind of like Slayer's BDC invuln. Have not tested it thoroughly in Xrd though.

Dogura(Sol), Woshige(Millia), and Haitani(Zato) played online with about 4-5F delays on stream. I don't know their opinions about the netcode or if 4-5 frames are bad, but as long as I get around the same delay as they do I won't complain. Granted maybe the stream took some frames away from their ping, but as long as I can play Japanese players here in the Philippines at 4F+, I'm fine with it.

I've yet to test this on Xrd, but Mettagiri can actually activate on 1F blockstun. Watch this uhh, old old old video I made (reuploaded) at about 20 seconds you'll see what I mean. (GGXX Slash footage, but proven to work on all 2D GG games afterwards.) http://youtu.be/mqYYIzEEn6Q?t=20s

It would help if you noted the frame delay on the top of your screen. Anything above two digits I avoid. Around 4F or so is quite good to me, and 5-9 is acceptable. Question is, what frame delay was on your screen when you were playing?

On a slightly related / unrelated note, I wonder if mettagiri still works on a 1F blockstun. On previous versions of the game, you can mettagiri an enemy that blocks something within 1F - something impossible with regular throws. An "impossible mettagiri", if you will.

In theory its a good tactic, since air 2K often stuffs normals and people trying to fight out of okizemi. Though a thing about Faust is that he's not really scary by himself and without item cover. I'd surmise if you didn't train the enemy to keep blocking strings without trying to fight back, then they'd easily just mash throw or reversals or whatever else that can counter a whiff > throw. So I'd rate this tech in around the same effectivity as (ground) 2K > delay > mettagiri. It only works if the enemy has been trained to keep blocking or is waiting to block something like meteors.

Almost tempted to make a video to show it, but I think you should be able to get it. Most likely you're not inputting the revolver fast enough to catch Ky mid air. There are trophies if you S rank certain total amount of missions - dunno what else though.

Here's a clip of Faust (mine) doing the (100% tension) Super Super Nani ga deru ka na? (at 1:07 on the video) http://youtu.be/TRATJwFzd2g?t=1m7s

Ky's hair thing I suppose I can explain. I was playing the demo and destroyed (IK) Ky with Sol and his ponytail broke and let his hair down. I'm not sure if it works with any other character or if you need to do it in arcade mode as Sol like I did. Will have to experiment.

Gotcha. I thought it was a copy and add your own PSN ID thing. Also I figured since there's a country divider already the Location info was for specifics. Anyway, hope more people show up!

Sup bro! Didn't get your PM though. Yup! Game had a DLC code to unlock Elphelt. Used an Asian account for the code to work. Elphelt also unlocked on my US account on the same system. (Primary PS4 DLC thing) Sin is unlockable with the World Dollars you get from playing random modes of the game. He costs 200,000W$. Not that hard to get 200k. Elphelt and Sin are playable in all modes except training (Sol) and mission (specific chars). Pretty good! So far I haven't noticed any latency difference between playing vs. PS4 or PS3 users. Only time you'll see what console people are playing is in the player list. When playing online there's a number above your life bar saying DELAY: 2F (2 Frames) or whatever. Best games I've played so far vs. Japanese have been about 4-8F delay - some are worse though. (EDIT) Adding this for online play questions. Video on how to navigate the Xrd Online system.

Accurate inputs mission teaches you to not mash buttons when doing combos. It wants you to dash a certain amount, 2P, K (2), c.s, then sweep, revolver. You can't mash the combo out cause the combo requires a certain rhythm of input.
