If I'm talking to someone and he asked me how they improved Potemkin what do I say? What's the best new thing he got in Xrd?

I know, but everyone in this thread was like "STOP WHINING ITS GONNA BE 60FPS OMG U CRYBABY" It's just that after all the damn hype, to not be able to enjoy the highest quality without sacrificing frames, meh, I guess it doesn't matter. No one's complained about the actual gameplay yet. This is what I get for being poor and owning a PS3, and expecting the best out of everything.

Really? So there's not even a point in waiting for the NA release? You gotta give the pre-order people something special

PS3 is totally worth it for BBCP. Best fighting game yet in my opinion. As for Skullgirls, I love how great all the DLC characters are. Still sticking with The 'Cock though.

I don't know what's worse, seeing him and not being able to play as him. Or not seeing him ever again at all.

Sol growls at people in the JPN version? Joji Nakata just talks like a normal dude aside from the grunting and attacks in battle. He's a chill guy but will kick your ass if you mess with him. That's the way Sol Badguy has always been. But then the english dub "IM GONNA KILL YOU TILL THERES NOTHING LEFT TO SCREAM WITH MY FAKE GARGLING VOICE" He's noticeably more angry and violent just for the sake of being angry and violent. It's like they slightly changed his character along with making his lines more cringe-worthy. I think the main difference is Japan Sol sounds tough but doesn't need to be a tryhard to do it. English Sol sounds like someone trying to be cool and failing at it. Most of Sol's lines are "gimme a break" and "leave me alone/get lost", not "I'm gonna rip your hair, piss off". Characters like Jotaro and Sol are laid back dudes, the total opposite of edgemasters. JPN Sol just wants to be left alone and is tired of everyone's bullshit. He's pretty quiet a lot of times too, he doesn't talk as much as the other characters. When certain characters are annoying him he doesn't even say his thoughts out loud (noticed this while playing +R's story mode). He also saved a lot of people by defeating Justice, saved Kliff, took care of Dizzy, took care of his rival's son, even invented his rival's weapon. Being a former scientist and helping people definitely doesn't scream edgy to me. If you're talking about him trash-talking before/after a fight, others in the cast do the same thing. He has this quiet and cool (but still bad-ass) vibe. To me, the dub sounds like a Christian Bale wannabe that completely contradicts that quiet cool personality with obnoxious loudmouth growling and awkward lines. The director and actor just failed to do the character justice. (in my opinion) Like I said, I usually prefer dubs. But at least with the Japanese audio I don't have to cringe everytime someone says something in this game.

I prefer moving decapitated heads than customizable avatars. But seriously, so many options and stuff.

Yeah I read JoJo. Sol and Jotaro don't growl at people and tell them they're gonna make them scream till there's nothing left. They're laid back most of the time but still kick ass. I think the english dub is portraying Sol differently, he's more angry and violent for no reason. Even though he smiles a lot more in Xrd. Yare yare daze..

I don't know, I'm just asking because of what he said. It sucks that we'll have to deal with the weird translation even if we switch to JPN voices. Seriously, I know I'm not the expert on Japanese (I know a little) but I don't remember Sol telling Millia that he'll rip her hair off, or how he doesn't give a shit about how old May is, or how he wants to kill everyone till there's nothing left, or how he has "no strategy, just punch till something is hit". Wasn't he a scientist? Invented the weapons? Why are they trying to make him look stupid..The english dub just comes off as a tryhard edgy killer guy. Meanwhile the Japanese one is just yare yare daze cool guy.

Millia was legs.

If I switch to Japanese audio the translated line will still be "May, pick up some onions please"? But you're saying there will be another set of subs?

I think Elvenshadow or whoever has footage of it and it looks identical to PS4. Arcsystemworks obvously isn't confident about the PS3 version, they even said it was hard to port it there. Everyone is hoping for 60fps although there will always be drops.

To anyone here that speaks Japanese, does the girl in May's intro really say "May, pick up some onions please." Some of the lines in english are weird to me, although THIS could just be me getting used to what they say in Japanese.

I wonder if he only appears in flashbacks. Elphelt is cool and all, I still prefer to have Johnny/Zappa/Justice instead.

I thought a Lion should be brutal and in-your-face. Not throwing stuff. But his character model looks cool Notagrappler/10

Yes please. That's all that matters. 60 fps...and great netcode. Instant game of the year for me if Xrd has these two things.

It's not the bias for Nakata that gives JP Sol a good voice. It's the fact that voice fits the character. Honestly I always use the Ishiwatari voice when given the option in some GG games. So it's definitely not nostalgia. I don't care who it was that voiced Sol, all that matters are how the voices sound (and fit with the character) and the performance. I only mentioned Nakata due to how he played Sol, no unnecessary growling, just the "yare yare daze" kind of character (guy that's tired of bullshit). As opposed to Trying Too Hard pro-wrestler sounding english Sol. And obviously, that's what Sol Badguy is supposed to be like, because Ishiwatari made the character and portrayed him that way. I always prefer english dubs, in anime and videogames. At the same time I'm not gonna be an apologist and just be okay with a bunch of mediocre/shit performances just because I like the anime/game. There's really no excuse here because they actually did justice to Slayer and Zato. If those two can sound okay, why not the main character? And the others? Also, other ASW games have had consistently great dubs, so it's completely reasonable to expect a good dub here. I don't want to be the deby downer or whatever so I'm just gonna stop here. I noticed people in this forum get ridiculously upset when any little negative thing gets said about the game.

Sol didn't need a growling/gargling tryhard voice. It sounds so fake and awkward, instead of being cool it sounds funny. ALL the characters in Guilty Gear are corny anime characters, that's no excuse for a shit dub. Blazblue, which is very very anime still had a great dub. I think it's because the actors were utilized better there. I don't think Sol's actor is bad, I think the director or whoever should have asked him to act another way. Joji Nakata didn't need a pretentious Christian Bale voice to sound tough, he just talked like a normal guy. Aside from the grunting and other stuff when fighting, I definitely think Sol's english voice is shit. I'm trying to be optimistic by reminding people how good Slayer and Zato's voices are, but that's only 2 characters. I know people here are trying to be nice and all, I just can't pretend that this is a good dub. Dual audio saves the day.

Some people had issues with the PS4 demo and ASW don't even have confidence about the PS3 version. This is kinda making me nervous. 60fps please. I can get over the speed of the game and the cringe-worthy dub, all I want is 60fps and a good netcode (on the PS3 version)

GG was never all that big in the west anyway. I agree that Xrd's dub is terrible and shouldn't even be compared to BB's near-perfect dub, but there is still dual audio. You just have to tell everyone that gets the game to immediately SWITCH TO JPN voices. The voices won't "destroy" the game, just make it less appealing. People will still buy the game because of the fancy anime graphics, although the awkward translation and dub are a huge turn-off. I still choose to believe Guilty Gear has a chance of being really successful (maybe even reaching SF level someday).

Yeah, people just need to be patient and wait for the sequel. I remember checking some Japanese arcade rankings a lot and Blazblue 2.0/USFIV were almost always above GG Xrd. That's a good sign.
