As lazy as, say, Jack-o's design is, it's not gonna put people off the game by itself especially compared to SF5 which has eyesores like Birdie and R.Mika littering the cast. Honestly, things like Sol BadGuy's name has probably put more people off Guilty Gear with their first glance over the years. It's not something that can be helped really and we're not in the depths of, say, release SkullGirls (arguably now with Big Band still being much better than the rest of cast IMO) or Nitro Blasters or whatever where it is pretty much filled to the brim with waifu bait characters. Guilty Gear has those waifu bait characters but it's also got a bunch of other characters and archetypes going for it. I think tightening up the release schedules and even getting more cross-play is the way to go if Arcsys wants to make the series more popular outside Japan. It's hard to grow a scene for the game when the EU publishers are useless pricks and when by the time it gets localized there's yet another game looming on the horizon. I'm really glad the PC ports have been doing really well (especially after some of the porter staff were being cunts about people wanting the Xrd port) and that's a big step forward. Other than that, if you want people to try your game, don't be a memekid (haha man this guilty gear is so anime dood there's like this dude bridget who looks like a gir- wait where are you going) or try to put other games down.

oranges go moldy though fam It's nice to see CPEX actually coming out especially after the porters were cunts about it on twitter, but I'm hoping that they actually port CF in a timely fashion since they're actually finally up to date. The thing I'm dreading is if they decide that they're just gonna wait for CFEX to come out or some bullshit before porting and just release Battle Corps Love Uprising!!! Microstutter Edition in the interim.

The crazy thing is he's not even playing someone weaker like 1.0 Bedman where I could at least understand why someone might feel a bit helpless or weak. It's Xrd Sol, only below Millia and Zato on a really tight tierlist. He's named after and mained a really strong character, asked for buffs with little understanding of frame data while assuming that Rev changed/nerfed him (Rev made no character changes until like 1 or 2 days ago with the Jam release/loketest) and then pointed at someone on the same tier and asked for nerfs. Now we're posting AIM chats? Will I go and get on Bebo and post the chat where my pal says that Fanny needs YRC and a Syringe Install? (tbh ky getting an install would be fucking sweet but ssssh)

To be fair, what that means is that they shouldn't be outsourcing to an incompetent studio.

A Hack? As far as tag team battles go, as long as it's optional I'm not too fussed either way. Also, if by toning down the "flashiness" they mean making combos not last years then I can't wait. Playing Third Strike recently made me appreciate combos that get a move on.

The trailer looks like it was done on someone's lunch break while they were fiddling about with Windows Movie Maker. So on par with the original animation, really.

New thread for a new edition.

Oh hey, could I get my name changed from EunuchCookiDough to SaltBadGuy and add Pot and Ky as characters?

Yeah, it was really weird how they shipped a fighter with literally no characters. I mean, SF2 had 8 but ArcSys is taking the piss Johnny and Dizzy will most likely be added in next, don't be shitposting because you're missing your favourite character or whatever

How do you accidentally input stuff on reversal? During wake-up, literally nothing else is happening so if you're wanting to dragon punch I don't see how an input buffer would be able to mess up and do another move.

where is this dumb excuse about finger exercises in training mode for 6 million hours coming from? jeez thanks for leaving open spoilers man And I agree with Titanium Beast, GG (and BB) reversals are well designed enough that they don't need an unnecessary execution barrier, especially since learning about how mindless reversals can fuck you over just as easily as get you out of trouble was one of the things that helped me out with learning fundamentals.

I love how with that first post I don't even have to do the bolding. Looking forward to deja vu Task Cing the inevitable VV and VT spam.

That's the important part, since getting a new player to wakeup DP and telling them "So yeah that's a decent enough thing to do on wakeup but it's risky and I'll show you why" is more interesting for both players than "Oh, wakeup DP is finicky as fuck, just block I guess".

Ah, my bad then.

BlazKart would actually be the most legit thing, but it's too good for this world. #menuraceforevo

It's a noun, gravy being something that isn't needed but still nice. Probably should find out if any sayings I use are actually used outside of Scotland

Well, considering that the tight reversal window ceases to be a real issue once you get used to the execution of it, we'd be seeing high level Xrd (Or GG in general, everyone here ranting about uninitiated masses/sheeple/whatever is forgetting that reversal DP was really easy in those games too) having 0 okizeme if your argument had any merit to it. If a volcanic viper beats your oki, get better at setting up your oki. Again, it was easy to reversal DP in GG, so why even bother going back to Accent Core based on that? Clearly any old Sol or Ky could completely negate any okizeme with their super easy DP, right? How is pointing out that reversals becoming much harder in a game that was meant to be a bit more accessible is very silly and reverting that change legitimizing a lack of ability? Was negative edge somehow holding GG back because it made it easier for newer players to input stuff? Also, what is this "We" business? This game is great fun, the update is just gravy.

It was less being retarded and more trying to get discussion value out of shitposting.

Difference between reversal windows and IB is that attacks can be hidden or YRC or cancelled in weird ways so there's thought also required (he'll probably cancel into a HS etc.) Reversal Windows are constant, so it's pure execution. It also means the attacker has to think less at lower levels of play since reversals are by no means consistent which kinda sucks (Defender could have to think more since they have less reliable tools depending on your point of view.) The lack of negative edge is a baffling change considering that the old GGs had it.

I'll be honest, a bunch of the tracks (Well, mostly Communication, Re-coming and Diva) were kinda wasted on Overture.

Now? People have had discussions about dizzy's outfit being dumb for a while now. This isn't exactly new.

One of the things that put me off Eddie/Zato despite being a puppet character was that he was pretty much wearing paint instead of clothes. Venom also does looks better when he's fully dressed in the XX games. It's not so bad in GG because you're right, there's male cheesecake to go around so at least stupid designs like Dizzy's are less to do with someone designing someone like Ky then desperately needing a wank and more to do with the general design of the characters (Blazblue is pretty bad for being much less even with this with Jin and Noel and ESPECIALLY Hazama and Makoto). Regardless, this is starting to get off-topic and throwing out insults like white-knights means this conversation won't get pretty so whatever. On-topic, while I like that Ram might actually have a personality in the next game judging by the ending (as corny and cringy as the ending and that reveal is) what do you reckon is gonna happen with Elphelt since she's went all Order 66? Are we gonna see her actual personality change like with Mu in the next game?

How do you follow up on both aerial dust and a straight up ground dust? I heard something about a 2 seal setup with the ground dust which sounds interesting.

KD?
