I highly doubt that Shadow Kanji will ever be as good as let alone better than normal. The auto combo is a huge difference and even though he can circumvent the stricter damage scaling of Shadow mode on account of being Kanji, it's still a factor that requires resources that normal Kanji does not need.

Jesus fucking Christ is there a more comfortable method to getting level 3 22C on a pad. Doing a full match with this character is just monotonous and tiring because some genius at Arcsys thought requiring him to hit level 3 for simple meterless bnbs was a good idea. And it's not much more fun on a stick either. It's not that it's hard, it just makes my hands really tired no matter what I play on.

Req Vinum is such ass against Tager lol. If you time it even SLIGHTLY wrong you WILL get grabbed.

@Witchsaber I think I just played with you on the lobbies, and if it was me that pissed you off with consistently challenging you I'm sorry lol. I just couldn't find any other empty terminals.

I hate when people don't let me win too.

Ultimax came out 2 years after the original either way you slice it, arcade to arcade or console to console. I still won't be paying full price for it though, sprites need to be made obsolete. Xrd is proof positive of that.

You can actually still use the old black hole setups if you don't mind parting with burst for the OD version. You can even do it at full life. What gets me the most is the removed gatlings, ESPECIALLY the ones into 6B. Now I have to actually commit to blockstrings and respect my opponent's defense. Thanks Obama.

You know you can chain supers in OD right? You should be able to do like 623B and then 63214B if you have 100 heat.

If you still have problems with the falling j.5B combo you may have the timing wrong. You can't do it as soon as the 3C hits, you have to wait a half a second or so then do 9D.

If it does I expect a late December release at best TBH.

I definitely think Johnny will be there eventually. He's one of the more unique characters that they haven't brought back yet.

Yeah I know the optimal OD one I think, but I'm looking for meterless and ODless if possible.

What's the optimal confirm off a 3C? Like when you punish a roll/late tech?

Bingo. This game's roster is only disappointing if you care more about "representation" than character variety. We've got something for everyone really. We have two "shotos", Axl and Faust to fill the long range normals quota, Potemkin to be the grappler, Chipp as the fast guy, Zato as the pressure/puppet guy, Venom is Venom, May the charger, Slayer the guy who kills you off two counterhits, etc. I think they did a great job at picking out the characters who would collectively make up the most unique bunch.

Only the Xbox version of Extend censored it. All they did was remove the blood from the textures and the shadows of the hanging bodies.

God help these people when Xrd comes out, since GG has not had English voices on its fighters ever before lol.

I just got rage kicked from like 4 rooms in a row for playing with Japanese voices. How do I know this? People were on the mic audibly complaining about it. Apparently people really hate Junichi Suwabe's Relius voice. Okay you dumb motherfuckers, this is a Japanese game. If you have a problem with Japanese voices play Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct or Skullgirls or something. Hell play SF4 if it bothers you that much, you hear your settings and not theirs. Gah damn I'm mad lol.

Good point. It's entirely possible I suppose. Or at Arc Revo. That's where we got the original Xrd reveal right?

Guys this may be a bit of theory fighter on my part but new Gad Leis feels like a huge buff. Any time it hits (which is off a lot of things) we get to choose between corner carry, oki and damage. At the very least it does make Rel much more versatile IMO.

God damn do I hate this matchup. How in the fuck do you anti air him? 2C is too slow to catch him out of chains and 6B probably doesn't have the horizontal range. I can't imagine 4D working very well but I haven't been able to try because every time I 4D on reaction Ignis gets hit. I have noticed that you can seemingly Ley out of any 214D stance specials, including Zaneiga. Is this correct or is the timing on this just really weird? Cause every time I tried it I was able to avoid the mixup and punish with 6D.

That doesn't guarantee anything, they do more than just Arcsys games.

Quick question. I've been playing with this black hole set up (as seen in BK's vid): 6B 236B 5B 6A jumpback 5B(1) 5C 9D 236D 5C 22A 5C 214A blackhole I have to sleep and I don't have time to check, but if you start with a throw instead of 6B does it drop? I've been told it does but I haven't tried to test.

Isn't that the kind of thing that the tutorials in game are for? Not saying it's a terrible idea, just that it may not be necessary.

Even when Haz runs out of oroboros that doesn't mean dick since he still has the long range chains, almost defeating the purposes. I remember Dogura suggesting that he not even be able to use D attacks period when he runs out.

Are you sure you want to abuse Ley against Tager? You can get grabbed if you're careless.
