TITANIUM BEAST!!!

That would explain why 214S RC into food still works even when 214S empties the gauge.

IIRC special cancels cost 1000 calories so DP into jump still uses 2000 calories, though I could be wrong (the vault itself uses no calories).

Round start 5S bodies Sin's pokes, or his own 5S at least. Don't think this matchup is a challenge, at least for now.

Not able to find your channel, it shows up as not existing.

Knew about this from the demo, it's pretty easy with Sol but you still have to make sure you avoid doing the inputs too quickly, or you will YRC before the grab becomes active.

How are you guys watching this? Did you order the DVD from ebten? I want this so bad.

First two tier lists I've seen where Zato isn't S (Efute and Woshige). All three agree that Faust/Millia/Ram are S, though. Innnnnteresting.

You need to wait until the 18th when she is available for purchase on the PSN store.

They haven't shown them all, but there was a video stream recently where some of them were shown.

If it's the JP version of the game, you need to have access to the JP PSN store to redeem any codes. So yes, a JP account is needed.

I mentioned in my post that doing challenge mode gives you 20000 for every character you complete. You also get 20000 for finishing tutorial mode. 10 times in total and bam, you get Sin.

The graphics would be just fine, except everyone has been seeing the PS4 version for all of the console promotion, plus the demos that have been available. Combine this with the cross-buy DLC and save uploads, and it's clear that ASW prioritized the PS4 version and gave people an easy way to upgrade to it if they choose to. A lot of this complaining is excessive, and is doing damage to the game for people who haven't even gotten a chance to play it yet. The 30FPS comment made its way to the front page of SRK, now how many people who may have planned to buy the game for PS3 will skip it entirely? Who knows, but that's negative press the game didn't need. Moving on, for those of you who want the "quickest" way to unlock Sin, completing a character's Challenges in Challenge mode grants you a 20,000W$ bonus. So theoretically, if your execution is up to it, you could do 10 characters and have enough for Sin in a very short period of time. I'm gonna try it once my PS4 copy gets here.

Erm, Elphelt hasn't been in arcades.

12/5? Did you mean 12/3? Doesn't make sense for us to get digital access two days after Japan.

I have nothing against dubs in particular. However, for most fighting games, the dubs are cringe-worthy. Yes, I would love to play a game where I don't have to read subs and I can just listen along, but not if I have an involuntary shudder at every poorly cast voice and horridly delivered line. Listening to Sol in the demo is just fine until he starts growling like he's on the verge of coughing up a lung.

Daigo Sol and PC Sol seem like a given as DLC. Pretty much all of his current colors pull from GGX and GGXX, with one lone AC color.

They are probably trying to avoid the various issues Capcom had with cross platform ports of their games. PS3 versions of UMvC3 having unacceptable slowdown on certain stages and the like. Knowing that the tournament community will most likely use the PS3 version of the game as their go-to version, they may have included the image quality option to ensure no problems or complaints for competition.

Ugh, Sol's English VA...who put Christian Bale's cruddy Batman growling in my Guilty Gear? *cue Sol screaming "WHERE ARE THEY!?" *

Ugh, and here I am low on cash. Site won't let me use my bank card since there's not enough in my account, even though it's just a preorder.

Shrug we don't see most of the tournament footage in Japan. Just because we don't have video proof from the two or three arcades that stream to twitch and Youtube doesn't mean that the character isn't doing well competitively. If anything, the lack of May footage is a general issue. There's just not enough available info to say the character is weak or strong from our perspective because you just don't get much May footage to work with. The footage that I have seen makes her look pretty decent, IMO. Her damage is still pretty good and her offensive options seem better/more varied. She may not be top tier, but she seems fine to me. Shouldn't be so quick to say a character is "weak", there's a difference between a character being weak and a strong character being among other strong characters.

It's as if a character has to be S tier to not be considered weak. May is B at worst, IMO, and she gets put into A tier pretty frequently. She's definitely better than Axl, at least.

Dunno where you would get the impression that May is weak.

Why do people feel sorry for Potemkin? Grapplers are mad annoying when they're good.

I'm looking forward to getting the Mad Catz Xrd stick as well. Apparently it's coming out the same day as the game in Japan, but nobody's offering preorders yet. USA is supposed to get it as well, but no date set just yet.

Most people just do basic BnBs since Mortal Counter's absurd hitstun only applies to the first hit of the combo, and Danger Time adds a massive amount of damage anyway so there's not necessarily any point to coming up with fancy combos.
