In Bedman's Arcade Mode, when Sol is dragged into the Nightmare Theater, he says that he was feeling something really similar to when he was in the Backyard, just before Bedman appears in front of him.

What seems more interesting about Bedman is that not even I-No seems to know his identity, the proof of this lies in her victory quote against Bedman saying "What the hell is wrong with this guy?!", and until now, since she is a Human/Humanoid Gear/Witch/whatever from the future she already knew almost all the cast of GG, including Valentine and many things not even That Man knew back then. My humble assumption is that whoever Bedman is, maybe he's an existence it shouldn't have existed in this world, just like those "few things" the same I-No states having changed before she drags That Man into the mess, like Ramlethal appearing to be much stronger compared to all the times she killed her before, and if someone thinks that Bedman is working for the PWAB... Then again, she already knows about them as well, to what extend we don't know, but it's probably something. Let's not forget also that Bedman seems to have something to do with the Backyard as well.

I wasn't expecting Valentine's Final Boss Theme to be there, even though I like more The Mask Does Not Laugh is still awesome like most of the rest of Overture's songs. But... I'm more surprised with the fact they didn't bring the only OST of Overture that plays in Xrd as well if that's the case, but damn, I'm kinda excited already to hear some of them.

I can hardly watch any Joniosan stream, but it seems that Dive HS has better frame data recovery? If so I'm really glad, I like to use it in oki. I would like to point this as well just in order to confirm the current situation, HCL after 2D only fails against "Low" and "Bed" now, right? I don't remember seeing this against Ram-chan and Mister Chipp though, and I guess it's safe to confirm that HCL hits the opponent during ground dash as well, since I saw in one gameplay a Sol player being beaten while he was running.

Where? Because I remember how you were complaining about how it seems that BB is EVERYTHING better than GG, using as a pretext among other things that BB has better graphics and so, it's much better (and GG is a fighting game from the 1998 to begin with). If you are trying to keep with this nonsense at least try a little harder, it's not fun at all. Anyway... Back what I wanted to say, if the "problem" with Bedman lies with his mobility more than anything else, I'm fine with it. Bedman seems the type of character keeping the pressure on the ground anyway, maybe he's a little slow, which can be a negative thing since I like quick characters, but many things like 2S (or 2D? I'm not sure) reminds me of Bridget 2D because of the fact it can be used as a combo too depending of the target's distance, and I really love these things in a fighting game, being more than just doing always the "same".

It's the only way possible of course, since you can't do air throws during an air dash or double jump (but the good thing about her in Xrd is that she can do it now with the new air throw ).

Do you need more proofs of someone saying that the graphics of BB are better than Xrd? Do you need more proofs of someone who prefers this over Xrd sound?

Using the note as a combo after the air throw was possible to do before as well, but it's good to see you can still do it (in fact, it should be easier to do now). On a side note, can anyone tell me if that GG Player with a winning streak of more than 15+, is still playing somewhere?

Can you explain this please? I mean, I'm planning to sub him in this game after all, anything you can provide is appreciated.

Faust has always been a high tier character especially between AC and R+, since he doesn't really need (or at least I don't remember being used) of FRC unlike other characters like I-No, and his FB was one of the most fast and rewarding of all. But again, as already mentioned, in GG any character can win, if you train a little harder even the most impossible thing to do like beating Sol Gold with Bridget in Maniac Level is not impossible, and he's probably the worst character you can pick against him (not because he's a bad character, but Sol's offensive can be really troublesome with characters like him).

One of the many things I want to test when I have the game is if I-No's still able to do VCL loops, and because of the "unnecessary animation that was absolute necessary to attract people that loves cool graphics", I-No can't do that anymore... It seems. I-No seems cool in this game too, don't get me wrong. But it's undeniable that she has lost quite a few things in this game, which is a bit depressing.

I have a question too, if you use RRC after D>8, you can cancel jumping towards the opponent in the air? Or it's just not possible to do in the first place?

It's really fun to see how people was saying at first that Ram-chan seemed a bad character, and now almost everyone agrees that she's not only a good character, but even the best character of the game, LOL. Venom seems really good with his new overdrive, but only a few people play with him to begin with, so in the end... There we go again.

Interesting, I thought that Villa Vampir was obviously in Transylvania... Because of Dracula? Not really, but rather because of PWAB report.

Chrome Rose seems really good, but previous overdrives appear to be much easier to lead into a combo than before. Taking that into account, if you have the opponent in the corner for example, you'll take preference in doing ER instead of that. Also, Winger does tremendous damage in Hell Fire!, probably even in pair with Ultimate Fortissimo, and Chrome Rose doesn't guarantee anything, and the same goes with Dragon Install by the way. I don't really know what you are talking about, 236S/236HS are far better, especially 236HS in which now is more difficult to avoid, Secret Garden seems to be a little more fast than before, and her 6HS is now a 2 hit attack, good in order to call the bubble after that. Even her new Dust is way more good, the only thing "bad" I have seen with her in Xrd is that ground throw doesn't allow you to lead with combos anymore, but you can use it to call the bubble or the ring afterwards. Honestly speaking, Millia and May have improved a lot in this game.

I don't remember the exact details, but in Path 1 you just have to fight "normally", while in the other path you must first have completed Path 2 with Baiken in which she confronts Ky in the end, after that, you can notice that now after beating Faust you have two answers selection, one is the same as if you played without unlocking the mentioned ending, and the other is the one you must select, "I should head toward the town".

OneSanitarium: That's really interesting then, thanks, I'll have to check it out. Although I dunno if it would be really useful in AC since 5S was no longer a direct hit, so I guess you could only do 2S>HCL after that (but in Xrd 5HS surely it could work) as a best option. Diend: XX Slash. In #R she resembles most in EX Mode but that's a different history too of course, since her hover dash and Longing Desperation are completely different. You will see for yourself however than even in Slash there are some peculiarities like 5S being a 2 hit attack but yeah, it's the best version you can use until Xrd comes out. If you have any doubt, just ask.

rageOne: If you can, Slash is the best option you can take, since there are a lot of things you couldn't do in Reload unlike in Xrd as well (Ky's ability into jumping after 2HS, Millia's airdash after j.D, I-No's specials after 6HS,...), much people say Reload just to empashize I suppose, but the game is more like XX Slash. I recommend playing AC+R as well (in fact, to anyone who likes fighting games), but do it just for fun, I mean, if you wish to learn how to play Xrd in response of that, forget it. The difference between AC and the new Xrd (as well as the previous games) is too high, and for new players it's more safe to begin with X and XX (The Midnight Carnival). Also, if you are maybe interested in learning about GG's plot too, I must warn you that since the games are from 1998 you will need to read a lot of Drama CDs and some other stuff to get it all, but just having the big idea with The Midnight Carnival and GG2: Overture storyline (if you don't have the game you can just watch it in Youtube without any problems like I did) it should be enough somehow.

O.o https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ErXuHtPubNc#t=811 I wonder if 6P>STBT>6P>STBT it's now possible? As far as I know you could only do 5K or 2S after STBT without stagger effect.

Just to make things clear, the reason behind the remove of FB has nothing to do with GG being difficult, Daisuke has already said a lot of times that he didn't like FB, if anyone is thinking "perhaps we may have FB later", I don't think that's gonna happen, unfortunately or not.

The most scary thing about Zato=ONE in Xrd is that you can perform combos with 236K in the corner to your heart's content, and of course, since there's the new D6 stuff, that leads to even more damage without the need of RC, and only a few exceptions already present in previous games like 5HS (CH)>D with Ky can match this.

TheRealBobMan: If you can, ask if they are planning to add the old soundtrack to the game since it's seems they are not planning to include any DLC for the time being, and if you must... Tell him he can expect a young boy (although I'm not that young anymore) to pay at least 20$ or probably even more if only he could get the old soundtrack to the new GG, and I'm sure any good fan of the GG series would be happy to do the same. Ask also about the story mode, basically, we can expect this new GG to be like #R, in which you had to play in one way or another in order to achieve different endings, or just like AC/BB, in which you must select one answer or another in order to achieve different endings? And if you must... Add the fact that The Midnight Carnival storyline was way much better than AC because of this (among many other things, of course), it would be great if we can expect something similar to that, at the very least.

I think it's obvious that it depends only on each person, I didn't throw that many days to master Bridget even as being considered one of the most difficult characters to play. For me, it's more difficult to play with Venom as a matter of fact, and just having a little experience from Reload you have more than enough to play well with him in Xrd, in fact he seems much easier to play than later games.

And I'm sure the same happened among other players with ZATO=ONE and his terrifying new 236S, but at the very least I'm confident we can expect most characters to be played when the game comes out. I don't have any kind of grudge if someone asks me but yeah, no matter what people says in the end number of characters means nothing if at least most than a 80% I'm playing always against Sol.
