Air Pot Buster isn't an anti-air grab in function, it's an air combo tool, for Potemkin's air combos rather than his ground combos. The two of them are completely different in function...how? Stun Raise controlled space persistently for longer periods of time without needing to be activated, unlike the seals.

I feel (especially since you have it already) it's definitely good to get some practice in +R. His mechanics, normals, and gameplan can all transition to Xrd, some more than others, and getting familiar with a character like this one is going to take time if you're new, the earlier you get started, the better it's going to be. In other Venom news, Ruu, the best Briget player in Japan has started playing some Venom in Xrd. He did me a favor and translated some of his notes...not the greatest English in the world, but you can definitely learn some things there! http://blog.livedoor.jp/ruubr/archives/41801638.html

I don't think there's risk of PRC. You can just do it asap after the throw. The YRC/RC won't come out if the command throw is successful because the animation just started. And if it's not, you're sure to get it. It's only 6 frames. In the specific case of jumping, that doesn't mean much.

To some extent, I agree with Pichy actually. Potemkin basically covers the traditional grappler spectrum. Other characters can give you a taste of it with other aspects to their gameplay.

I asked Fino about it, it seems more about having fun with Zato rather than being stronger. He was particularly inspired by Ogawa when he came through and cleaned house at Mikado fairly recently.

I think Ramlethal and Chipp give him a much tougher time based on videos, those 2 are just easier to pick up and be effective quicker.

Hmm it's a bit hard to say. If you're truly trying to play only to win, you should never play Venom. You're doing more work for less reward (even in AC, his strongest version, he is just a strong mid tier). But in any version of Venom, or almost any Guilty Gear character, if you play with him at a skill level comparative or better than your opponent, you can win.

Cool so you can join the 20 other roleplayers in the Ultimax lobby taking space that could be used for playing games? Maybe they wanted a greater focus on being able to find a match, which the P4 and BB lobbies aren't as great, so they took from that and tried to create a different system. PS: Get it through your head this is the first version of GG, and they had to build the models from nearly scratch in a completely new engine. Persona is on the 2nd game and has 22 characters. GG on the first has 17. BB on the 2nd game had 17 as well...(Platinum came out exactly when CS2 did).

Notorious troll etc. I feed because I really need to process the "how..."

Following up from Fenrir's post about a BED, the other new fighters use a Gun (first Gun user in GG), a FLAG, and 2 familiars biting GIANT swords...not to mention these are wielded in a pretty unique matter from that piece of art... You want another grappler? Well you lost all but one of your characters, try Pot and May. Slayer is a boxer. Again, it seems you have to play a lot more characters to fill that void. If you were sarcastic listing FG playstyle tropes while saying the GG team needs to be more unique, you got me!

We can do our own thing. Options include the multi-game teams tournament, regional teams event, gauntlets vs the Japanese, draft teams, or just hanging out and enjoying ourselves...

As I said in VA thread, best would be Sol calling Ky "Boyscout" sort of arcade lobby is weird and all, but the most important part has to be good netcode for matches in the end.

I heard there's character system voice for Xrd. Praying dub Sol calls Ky "Boyscout" at character select.

It does. You can find reversal blitz shield in several matches. It's about risk vs reward. Spam it on wakeup? Guess wrong? Get counterhit and lose 25% meter each time...

Looking at her story in this game, I think I-No actually isn't a villain. Just has different methods.

It's not. It absorbs the set balls you have on the screen, and while it does enhance it, the damage/radius/time it lasts is not worth it. And it costs 50 meter for no guaranteed damage. Why do that when I could use 50 meter on 2 YRCs? Or hell, one RC after confirming to get extra damage/positioning.

I I-No, May, and Anji are the main issues I have. I swear Anji is A. But I always feel Anji in AC and +R is one tier better than commonly shown....

Although Venom had more options in many situations, his nerfs applied to fundamental fighting game concepts (such as weaker average damage, and a weaker anti-air game). In Xrd, examples of his stability increasing: his meterless damage on standing characters as well as his corner carry in various situations is up thanks to j.D. His reward off anti-air is somewhat more stable (but could be better) with 6P->6HS gatling (doesn't combo on non-ch or non-ball hit). QV is lower reward than Dubious curve for hitting, but QV combos help his meterless damage on corner crouchers. QV charging....could benefit with some playing around with meaty tricks perhaps, if you can do 2D, QV level 2 or 3 charge and get plus frames from the meaty and a big ball, but QV charging isn't used unless you think your opponent is going to respect you heavily. So basically +R mostly took away stability and added fluff as far as Venom goes. Note that movesets aren't completely gone from #R, see Axl, Slayer, and I-No for notable properties/moves from Slash and AC. uhhhhhhhh ok? Venom can still set you on fire with Bishop Run Out and can warp space to summon objects and teleport. But electrifying a ball is weird?

So can someone explain this to me? It says S Carcass Raid (Venom S up ball) is essentially the same data (level is one less, but level count starts at 0 rather than 1), but is listed as +0 rather than +8 as it is in other games....any explanation on how this works?

I'm pretty sure AC is generally considered a faster game than #R...but I don't have enough #R experience to truly claim that though...

Out of curiosity, what games do you find fast? There's only a fair few fighters I've played I feel play faster, such as Marvel 2, HnK, and VSav....

Wasn't this AC Johnny? While he had variants for a lot of his combos, I think to get the 1-Hit Enkasu setups he needed about 18-21 variations? (don't remember exact number)

It is. But it isn't relevant for ASW to make one when the game is PS3 and PS4. Get the version you have a stick for basically, that's not a problem. Now if Xrd 2 or whatever is on PS4 only....well either I hope they do it or PS4 stick prices drop in that time...
