I won a silver ticket. The area finals for my block is on Saturday, July 26th. So, I can't enter any other tournaments for arc revo until that is over. Also, that list is not completely up to date, a few others including FAB have also qualified

According to Nakamura on twitter he won in Akihabara over the weekend

Karinchou just qualified with a gold ticket for arc Revo today

Antaiseito, yea it is a rough experience. We were at least lucky to move quickly through the first phase at USCIS but now things after that have been going slower than normal. Nothing you can do but be prepared as possible and take it one day at a time. Things will most likely work out in the end. I'll try to keep a positive mindset, and I definitely want to make the most of my last amount of time here in Japan!

Thanks man! BTW, I finished adding all the old posts so the new blog is up to date. Unfortunately I don't know how I can transfer all the old comments over unless I posted them myself and said who they are from but whatever. Ill at least add in the images again later when I have time. Also, don't expect weekly updates like back in the day but I will update when there is something worth posting.

Alright! So, to deal with not being able to log into my old blog, I just made a new account and am in the process of moving all of the old content over. I still need to fix formatting and stuff and more than half the posts are still not transferred yet at this time, but the latest post is up there and ready to read! I hope it is an enjoyable read. New blog URL elvenshadowblog.blogspot.com enjoy

The moment that (some of) you have been waiting for is here! Or perhaps you haven't really been waiting but now that it has come you might sorta care! That's right... I have written a brand new entry to revive my blog! ...but there is one small problem. It seems that I am no longer able to log into my blogger account. I changed my email address sometime in late 2011 shortly after I stopped writing my blog. I guess my old email address seems to be inactive now and I don't think I can log in anymore. The blog still exists but it seems the account associated with it does not. When I try to recover password, it sends an email to my old email address but that email no longer is accessible. When I enter the URL of the blog to check the account username associated with it, it gives an error.... SO.... unless someone knows another way I can access it again, I may need to transfer everything over to a new blog URL. This could take quite some time... Can anyone provide some help on this? I typed the new entry in a Word document so I can upload it easily once I get the account going.

I heard that the setups at EVO were unfortunately on laggy monitors so it may have hindered the experience for some people.

If we get another character for console it will most likely be Johnny or other returning character(s). Ram is the boss and that will not change.

Any impressions for the console version from Evo?

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we have decided to change the date to be one week earlier so it will now be January 24th, 2015. APEX and Ohayocon were both announced to be on January 31st and we wish to not conflict with other events to maximize attendance for all of them. I doubt anyone booked any flights yet so hopefully this does not have any negative effects.

Regarding inputs, all I know is that I play (execution wise) just as I always have and I don't get unintended inputs and it feels fine. Also in one of the new screens against Ram, Sin looks like he has a sliding move, possibly similar to Ky's though it also could be a normal. I think Sin looks like a fun character with good tools based on what has been shown so far.

Not that I know of. Link please? From my personal experience I always remember it causing meter loss.

Personally I don't care whether or not it gets dubbed. I would probably just leave on the Japanese voices anyway. I would rather have them put their resources or money into something more important though if having a dub came at the expense of another feature. Yes, if you get hit out of any kind of RC startup, you lose the meter.

Not all command throws can be YRCed btw. faust's can't, for example.

I would say that the overall most powerful character throughout the history of GG has been Zato/Eddie. Faust is strong of course, but Zato/Eddie is almost always on top Actually, none of the characters that I mentioned have been below mid tier if I recall correctly. But Eddie/Zato has been the man of the hour more than anyone else.

Hmmm... no not exactly. Though there are characters that have consistently been very powerful. Eddie/Zato, Millia, Slayer, Faust are probably the ones that have the highest overall rankings within the games they appeared in, but that isn't to say that sometimes other characters don't end up being top tier (AC Testament and +R Zappa are the most obvious examples without having to even think about it).

Well of course, my ticket is the same. There is only one show and it is all standing, after all. Doors open at 5, show starts at 6. Cool that you are going. See you there. I really liked both of Faust's forcebreaks. Both really useful and fun to use. I still enjoy Xrd without them a whole lot. I have pretty much enjoyed every serious competitive GG fighting game.

Yea.... so.... Speaking of the soundtrack (lol only comment I'll make on it) I think it has a mixed bag of some really good songs and some so-so songs, but the same can be said about X/XX soundtracks. Overall I like it. I just bought a ticket to the Guilty Gear X BlazBlue live music concert happening this Saturday! I was originally not gonna go because of Revo Cup Quals but since I won the preliminary on Sunday, I already have a silver ticket and can't enter any others until the area final on 7/26, so I might as well listen to live video game metal and get drunk! Regarding throws, some characters can still combo off throws meterless. People already mentioned Bedman and Millia still can as well. Man, playing Xrd is just so much fun. So much more fun than BlazBlue Good thing there's no rolling! Oh yea, and I am really glad to hear that Markman is hooking you guys up with some sticks at Evo. I hope you all enjoy playing the game for your first time.

YRC timing has a MUCH longer window than FRCs in general. It all depends on each move though. Using it online shouldn't be a problem... and the netcode should hopefully be leagues better than AC/+R

If that's the case then I would much rather them focus on just adding more characters and not worry about alternate costumes. Anything that delays more characters is not good. Extra costumes really are not necessary and I would be fine with them just adding more colors.

Well, IMO stuffing YRC on activate SHOULD make you lose meter. Good shit. Also, sucks about the shirts. I already made my own Xrd shirt for fun when I was printing Frosty Faustings VI last year but the ones they are selling sound nicer. Oh well! Glad you guys like the game so far.

Yep I'll be living in Chicago at that point

I want that Xrd shirt. Also, history of Faust tiers XX - top #reload - mid Slash - upper mid AC - mid +R - top Xrd - top
