Taunting mid match gives your opponent meter

When riot "stomp" hits there's an explosion and it knocks them strait up for easy follow up combo

Venom has a new air normal where he twirls the pool stick. Didn't see IK yet Need more info on OTG but maybe same?

Ky has a new lunge hop forward move. I saw it used as a follow up to 6HS

No

Correction, special camera angle on last round victory, not just with super kill

Intro movies are beautiful Didn't see tech throws

Riot stomp is no longer a kick, it's a flaming punch but it moves the same way.

Stagger is still in the game.

All moves feel like they have JUST a little more hit stop in general which makes it seem easier to confirm but makes combos feel a little slower. Movement is about the same speed I think. Edit: extra hit stop on hit only. Block feels the same as old games.

If you kill with a super you get cool camera angles on the final hits. Millia can pick up hair pin quickly by just pressing down over it

Announcer sounds pretty cool. Much more gritty than XX. It says "You rock!" When you win a whole match

You can still RC special moves of course All chars are being used

Tried Millia vs Chipp. New forward HS. Air HS same as old one from XX only. New super. Activate and the. You can move freely and place roses around the screen to controls space. Time based i think. The backwards roll and move I described are the same. It's her new stand D. Sol has a straight up dive kick move now. PO has new shoulder tackle normal. Air teching feels about the same. There are currently 2 colors per chat and one extra that only comes if you pick same char and color as opponent. PO has new move that looks like HoS explosion. After he charges his special meter. Bursts with fire around him. Air dragon install activates fast. Sol looks way more Gearish (like a demon) More to come

Ok I played one match against a human, Ky vs Ky. Game speed feels good! Pretty much just like XX series. RC works with whiffed normals and projectiles and does slow time but time slow is very brief and doesn't really seem like it will disrupt match flow. Dust feels nice and smooth and I tried both kings. Character select screen doesn't look like it will fit many more characters but hopefully they will redesign it. The graphics are stunning. Fully animated 3D intros for characters. The game is visually wonderful. Supers are cinematic like SF4 but go much quicker and don't really bother me or take long. FD feels the same. Tapping it will stop run momentum as always. Specials seems to carry momentum as always. Couldn't hear music. Ky had some strange air lightning bolt stab that I wasn't sure how to do. Millia has a backwards roll now too and also had some move that shot up from the ground sorta like testament dust but I dunno what it was. Either stand D or a special. I think I saw Sol do a dive kick like move outside of dragon install but I dunno. Even with the costume change, PO animates and fights like always so he still feels like PO visually at least. Meter builds maybe the same? Faster? It's hard to tell. I think that's all I got for now. More to come.

I may not be able to test much lol.... Looks like you guys will mostly be relying on translating what all the japanese players say and pool it together

Right now there's an opening event w Daisuke. It is about to end. Only a few ppl made it in for that. The line to play stretches to outside and is like 5 ppl wide. They won't even let me stand at the back of the line now. Hopefully I can get in line eventually. At least I got this thing.

Uhh yea online is like the same and the promised changes don't seem to be working for me... The confirm sound works when finding a match but the custom search still has wonky results. I've only played like 10 matches though

Oh yea, that's a great point. And now that I think of it, Rolento also hops on his weapon in SFxT, so never mind.

For those of you who know a lot about 3D models, do you think that putting Faust in the game will be difficult due to the fact that when he goes on pogo stance, the shape of his model drastically changes? Do you think this will make putting him in the game hard? Would they somehow just mold the model to actually smoothly transition into pogo stance or do you think they would just actually have the regular model get completely swapped with a new model separate for pogo stance during the start up of pogo move? Anyway, I'm getting up early tomorrow morning and heading to Akihabara. I should arrive at the loketest just a little after 10:00 AM when Club Sega opens... I'm taking tomorrow off of work just for the loketest LOL! (At the time of this post, it is just past 10:30 AM on Thursday here, so I will arrive at the loketest in just under 24 hours.) I'm gonna bring a notebook and a pen and write as much stuff as I can. I plan to stay there pretty much all day depending on how it goes. Due to my smart phone battery probably dying and typing a lot of shit on an iPhone being annoying, I dunno if I will post stuff right away but I will probably try to type up a report after the test at a manga kissa or something. I might post some drastic and important tidbits here and there as time goes on in this thread though and then save the full list for later. Now that we know more about the game, please give me some new things you would like me to test out, since some of the stuff people wanted to know have already been revealed. I am sure Japanese players will beat me to a lot of information being revealed on twitter and stuff and many of you will end up translating it but I will do my best to contribute to the information flow.

I actually would rather not see Baldhead back unless it was just an alternate costume. I would be fine with the same old Faust design but a few little tweaks could be cool if done well.

I think new Potemkin design looks cool. I dig the uniform and helmet, the shoes suck though. May's face seems slightly matured. Chipp and Venom look about the same. I can't wait to see what they do with Faust. Maybe he will get a new mask or something like that.

I am proud to announce that I will once again be flying in from Japan and will be organizing the next addition in the Frosty Faustings tournament series!
