That just looks like someone complaining about her hurtboxes.

If you're on wireless that is probably the culprit.

Sorry for such a basic question but...when does Elphelt actually come out for JP PSN? Google research tells me free with first-print copies of the game, so I assume that will be like Adachi and not include digital copies. Is there an official JP release for the paid DLC? Thanks

<--- May/Potemkin when I'm "trying to win" but I plan to play mostly Zappa.

It's a double edged sword in ranked - if you do quick matches you get battles fairly fast, but they could be people from Japan or anywhere. Custom matches you can set same area on, but most reasonable rooms are gone by the time I try to enter.

From Google Translate of http://www.guiltygearx.com/info/: Xbox LIVE Arcade version (World Wide) October 24, 2012 Version PlayStation ® Network (Japan) November 01, 2012 ※ North American version of PlayStation ® Network, the European version is expected to order delivery from November PSN specifies Japan only and GTranslate isn't very clear on the * but....US PSN won't be until possibly after Nov. 1st?

I don't even understand the discussion...whether it is or isn't 1 frame it's been in the game for years and it's something everyone has, if you've actually played, been dealing with for years....hasn't been a problem thus far, unlikely to ever be one.

Watching Kedako get whomped by Dogura is so depressing ( ). This character might just be turrible now . It appears as if spinny super and random EX dolphins are pretty much the only things to fear now.

I can't be the only one that's run in to this but I'll mention it anyway just in case - after you hit with an AoA you can delay the followup long enough that it doesn't combo. Strangely enough though all they can do is block or burst - no mashing, FA, or any of that business. If you catch them holding on forward or upback though you'll hit for insane damage. The fatal will do 3k, an easy combo will do 6. Shouldn't really work on anyone, but kinda neat I guess.

Wow you dudes sound like babies. He was banned from an unofficial, private chat room for all of 5 minutes. It was not and is not a big deal. Seriously...it is the Internet...it does not matter, get over it, etc. Wizard is not trying to bring down your game.

When you're across the screen, parry randomly and cancel with jump back barrier. DON'T option select parry. If you ever successfully parry, wait until you see the second D sword go past you and take your free level 3 counter punish (RC in to combo of choice for insane damage). Works on 5D and 6D, don't do the counter against j.2D swords or she'll land, block, and punish. I think this is a near 100% safe option. From here you just have to know your opponent. If they start doing one sword, start countering immediately. If they cancel to 236x they'll likely get staggered by the parry. Sickle and sword wave you can counter on reaction to the startup. The only real punish I've found for waiting after the parry activates is 5D xx 236236D. Also 5DD is punishable by BBS on instant block. If she cancels in to 236B/C you may trade, though, so only do it in an advantageous situation. I feel like this is a borderline awful match for Lambda, like Bang. Makoto is extremely quick, evades swords really well, and once she gets in can be impossible to get off. Throw in a free full screen punish for many of her moves and...things do not look well for sword lady.

XBL Vabryn I've played pretty frequently since release and my Makoto is painful. If you're in the Southeast-ish area or just have some really good Internets, let's play

Never listened to Dream Theater (that I know of) and that song is pretty badass. Gotta check out the rest now. Thanks!

A meaty is used to describe a move you throw out while someone is waking up from being knocked down where they get up in to the active hit frames, so that they can not do anything other than block or do a reversal shoryu, backdash, etc. Pretty much any move can be a meaty, but a great example would be Pot's 6HS. It has a ton of active hit frames, so it's not hard to throw it out while someone is getting up off the ground so that they MUST block it (or do something with invincibility frames).
