I did see some some footage where it looks like with your points you can either purchase or unlock(?) new items that give effects similar to Faust items or other character's moves like Robo-ky mkII from Isuka. I can't recall examples I saw but I'm pretty sure the example I saw had Slayer in it, if anyone knows which footage I'm talking about? Pretty sure it was on youtube somewhere.

Um... I don't know about that. I think he probably meant 'popular to play' as opposed to 'popular with fandom/casuals'? Bridget is just as popular in the US as japan in that sense. I don't think they're considering what westerners play at all at this point, since we're not the ones playing until console. But then with some of the characters that were left out.. Iunno. I'd have thought Dizzy, jam and johnny would be more or as common as... I-No, Chipp, Axl... but perhaps our sampling POV is skewed by only what we get to see from certain arcades. Are there still numbers on character use from the +R player's guild or is that gone already?

I was hoping to see Kishitaka as well, a friend mentioned seeing him pop up but I haven't been able to find anything of him yet.

That's his deja vu recall move, icon indicates which move it is.

He is, but Pachi's been balancing GG since Slash iirc, so considering Pot's strength through more recent games that reasoning wouldn't really make sense (though I seem to recall hearing that too, so go figure).

It is indeed. He also just tweeted to specify it's a bug patch only, no balance changes.

I/Nainsoo started loose ones here, but we didn't finish. They come from a japanese site that has compiled them if anyone else wants to give it a shot. edit: First patch is set to be tested: http://ggxrd.com/wanted/

So far no release date, and the only song that's been captured so far is May's, it should be up on youtube if you search May xrd theme!

If you look closely at it, the eye pattern has a tiny teardrop coming out of it when it zooms in. :V Zato's ball seemed pretty ok with getting Destroyed...

This. It's not him. It's a deep, slow voice, but it lacks the grindyness and smoothness/rolling (idk how else to describe it) Wakamoto's voice has. But, it's familiar. Maybe I've heard him in something else, dunno

:O He has a beard now... maybe it's negaverse evil Johnny! tiiiimelooooooooops! /shakes fist!

Well the Senate (can we just use the word instead of the engrish?) is a group of 3 different people... But actually I was thinking about how the one with the bird mask sounded familiar... I don't think it's Wakamoto, but is it the same guy who voices the opening movie narration maybe?

>Sol_007 Hnnnnnngh And I think 009 is a Happy Birthday message? That's cute =v= No Sin voices yet ;_; Hopefully soon...

Can't, permanently says 'full, try again later' even if you were in before. this must be what hell is like

Yeah. And that means it starts what, 8 PM in Japan? So are they doing an all-nighter launch party sort of thing, or what?

6AM Eastern

You're mixing them up, Sin's is more powerful but only goes straight, Ky is the one that can change direction. (Because Sin is powerful but lacks control, and Ky is Mr. Perfect Control :v) Do you mean her Gamma Ray? She smushes her sword familiars together to create Lucifero and then he's the one that fires the Gamma Ray beam from behind her. Personally, I highly doubt Dizzy and Bridget will not be in console. Arc knows who their casual cash cows are and they know those consumers won't buy without their waifus favorites. (At least they should, considering their marketing of them everywhere else.)

It is definitely red in the game (see: http://i.imgur.com/aNFhnIi.png sorry for being tiny, only one I have on hand but that's his Ride the lightning) I guess it's supposed to be black, though? Chalk up to the game's meh graphics, I guess, or inconsistency >: I know his story mentioned black lightning too though, so who knows edit: Dunno, can't read the rest of it ;_;

Something I just noticed thanks to a note on a jp site- the profiles on some (several? not sure) characters' pages have changed on the Xrd website. For example, Ky's no longer mentions Sol as one of his dislikes (ha!) and now mentions Sin (and Dizzy if I'm reading right), I believe under the 'liked/favorite things' section (aww). Have any of these been updated on the news thread with the character information? I know it was noted that the story section was updated for everyone, but not changes to their already-posted profiles. That section is an image so autotranslate is no help.

lots of capoeira-like kicks (think johnny) mixed in with the flag-spinning/slashing, he had a multihit thrusting attack too if I remember right... In Master vs Master encounters I feel like he excelled in the air? Someone who played the game more seriously (and recently, it's been a while) could probably chip in on his strengths better...

No, the cinematic is in Aristobule's post a few pages back.

Sin's looking good. Ky's ending... yeah. Shit's getting real, huh. Really loving these animated cinematics. Nice touch that the cinematics play out with your character in your pallet if you're using alt colors.

Riot Stamp. Cuz of the second hit it has now (maybe?) It recovers in the air on block so you can get another hit in there possibly. Seem to recall guy in the video RCing the recovery too on one occasion unless I'm remembering wrong (on phone so can't check).

Dying to know this as well, but I've not seen a peep about it, even speculating, on the jp side... Need a clean version of Heavy Day before this song drives me nuts. I seem to recall Overture's OST and artbook came out a decent-ish bit of time later- but that was a console-only game, so...

Kurushii tried, but the file apparently wasn't rippable in a manner that would produce anything usable.
