I'm more surprised to see Ramlethal inA tier. But Ogawa's a knowledgeable guy so who knows.

I think this is the first time I've seen her official, non shaky, non LQ. A school girl with a big sword and Hermes boots, eh? Hermes combat boots...

Guilty Gears of War.

Oh weird, Pachi looks so much, I dunno, like a "rockstar" I figured it was Ishiwatari. Ishi looks so straight-laced by comparision, it's funny to imagine this dude is the metal head behind the awesomeness that is Guilty Gear, lol. Those pants, though...

Oh sorry, from the interview SolxBaiken posted.

Was that... Daisuke wearing a Potemkin helmet?

It's seriously happening? I can finally play Merkava, the ultimate BRAKK BRAKK chicken?! So awesome. I don't think I'm going to wait on this one in terms of NA release. I'm so importing this shit!

...I wanna play him. : (

Speaking of Calvados YRC, I saw something kinda strange in a youtube video (at around 13:42).... http://youtu.be/l6Lm3wnQynQ?t=13m42s From what I understand, Ram used the beam super, YRC'd it as Faust was jumping in, was hit out of the move and knocked back and Faust Burst.... but was beaten by something. It almost looked like he was beaten by the invisible beam, lol?

Must.... get... shift on Saturday...taken....

It is indeed! I just bought it! Thanks for the head's up.

Well I use Liz in P4A so I'd be ready to lose if I was totally devoted to Ram, lol. She does seem fun, I'll say that much. Really looking forward to seeing where she goes. I wonder how that command grab of hers'll benefit her gameplan in the long run? A command grab seems like a tricky tool to give a character like her, even if it is apparently very small hitbox wise.

Well according to ElvenShadow who is in Japan right now, she really isn't too hard to use. If anything it looks like setting up her neutral game effectively is going to be the most difficult. Also, her swords (when placed) don't seem like they are active for too long. Or maybe I'm just seeing things? Sometimes I even find it hard to see when the swing has happened. Maybe it's just the qaulity/not used to Rammy's stuff yet.

Jeah, his boogieman super (Hemi Jack?) looks so meh right now. The monster stalks the player very slowly and it dissapears on hit so unless Bedman turtles a lot I don't see him pulling it off. I saw a few players attempt to use Hemi Jack>YRC, but even then that's 75 percent of your tension for something you're not guaranteed. Then again it's still early, I'm sure maybe Bedman can use Hemi Jack and keep the opponent out long enough with his projectile+1/2/3 HS normals long enough to score a hit. I do remember seeing it happen once, however... when the creature touches the opponent, clouds swirl around them and they fall to the ground (I think from the Xrd Overdrive/IK compilation video). Very different from the one at the loketest which instantly caused dizzy, lol.

Definitely seems very 'shades of Bridget', at least so far. It'll be interesting to see what the 'optimal' gameplan for Rammy is gonna be. I saw a couple players choosing to set 1 sword and keep one for sword normals/ counter poking and keeping the other for screen control/ oki. While others set both swords and try to set up some double sword corner juggles. Ram seems very... multipurpose, lol.

I wouldn't imagine so, I'd bet money that her overhead sword swing animation isn't actually an overhead, kinda like Bedman's Deja vu Task C. Seems like it would be too easy otherwise.

Jeezus, the damage on those corner combos! But i'm guessing getting those specific setups'll be pretty hard. edit- Looking back, damage doesn't seem to bad actually, especially considering Xrd's wacky healthbars. RamBam McRammerstien looks very interesting. Those setups, the rekkas, a command grab... man, I can't wait to see how she develops. She is also... umm, oddly attractive.

Lol, It'll be like Batman Begins....but with the "hero" getting his ass kicked by every villian in Gotham. OK thanks. Had an idea but just wanted to be sure lol.

*pretends to understand*

Ugh! What's ol' Rammy got that Bedman don't got! Actually, don't answer that. Still, looking forward to seeing her in action which should be pretty soon, eh?

You wouldn't by chance have a video of that, would you? That sounds... interesting.

Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong Tsubu's Bedman is awesome and all but LOX is literally an evil genius from what I've seen. I think Tsubu would be even better if he zoned more like LOX does, optionating between the bed ball and his underground 1/2/3HS stab move meaty. Tsubu seems more agressive though, which is good in a game like GG I guess lol. Wow, that hurts, lol. Anji is cool!

I think Bedman is the most interesting character to watch, personally. edit-, well, besides Eddie of course.

AGF is playing Millia in Xrd, eh? Awesome, he is like my favourite Anji to watch in +R. I guess... if you wanted to think of it in broad definitions, Anji and Millia do kind of have a similar gameplan.

Happy to see Eddie being regarded as 'DA besssss' again. Although aside from Ogawa and a couple others, I don't see Eddie blowing people up as much as I'd hoped to.
