Interesting, does anyone know what exactly it is? It seems to be a short movie from 2005 in which they were involved in but infos are quite scattered. Other question, how useful are the recommendations in the assist select screen?

Marvelous Europe announced that they will publish the PS3 (via PSN) and PS4 digitally and physically in Europe and Australia. It will be available in both regions in early Q1 2016: Homura and Heart will also be available for free in the first month.

Yeah, I found a similar problem regarding the chips used in the USB ports if read it up correctly. The TE2 Fighstick from Madcatz which I am using only supports USB ports with some specific chip sets. It is recognised by other chips but they cannot read the inputs. Funnily the GUILTY GEAR Xrd -SIGN- Arcade Stick Ebten Limited works completly fine on every USB port and the Share button even works as a normal Select/Back button. Yes, the XBox sticks should work without any problems on PC, unlike the PS3 ones.

The arcade version will be updated to version 2.1 EX on 15. December and it will add Misty and Sonia to the playable characters: http://www.4gamer.net/games/305/G030537/20151211061/ Strange that both lost their console exclusivity so fast after the release. Seems that 12,469 units for PS4 and 8,083 for PS3 in the first week weren't satisfactory enought for Sega. EDIT: Correction: These are just location tests which will last for 1 week. A full release date wasn't announced. http://www.senpaigamer.com/arcade/blade-arcus-shining-ver21ex-location-tests-december-15-one-week-12112015-0913

Does SCP Server also works with PS3/PS4 sticks? Also everytime I change the INI data of the resolution it does not save them and rewrites them back to 1920x1080 when I start the game through Steam. Which important step am I missing here?

Likely still too early to ask but are there already some modders who showed interest in developing a free roam camera mod like for Street Fighter 4 and Mortal Kombat X? The action shots would look incredible with the more dynamic perspectives. The lightning and shadows likely will not follow the camera so that the characters lose a bit of the 2D illusion but they would still look splendid.

You still have a plenty of time. His distribution starts on 18th of December and ends on 15th of January but if you have Day One XBox Live Gold you can already download and play him.

ArcSys confirmed that BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend will be available on Steam in February 2016 http://arcsystemworksu.com/arc-system-works-releasing-5-titles-on-steam-by-summer-2016/ System Requirements, availability of online play and boni like soundtracks or artbooks are not verified yet.

Here they are: Don't know if they are sorted from top left to bottom right but #1 - #4 are available by default and #5 - #10 have to be purchased in the shop with P$. #11, the XBlaze reference, is available from an event.

Honestly every of her colors are looking gorgeous, but my favorites are #2, #6, #7, #11 and especially #9. Even better that the Halloween themed pale skin and the strong orange and purple are available for everyone. Though I swear I saw the color scheme of #6 somewhere else. Is it possible that it is referencing someone? BTW, ASW released a special Nine content-kid with images of her and her stage, colors and emblem: http://www.blazblue.jp/cf/ac/special.html#kit Colors #2 and #3 weren't posted yet, sooo... Another question, is there any footage of her air throw, Counter Assault and Crush Trigger available yet?

The newest trailer for Shadow Jago is here: I love that he keeps the "Herald of Gargos" theme, it just fits him perfectly. His new teleportation mechanic looks quite interesting. I wonder if it functions like Chipp's teleport or if they are triggered by inputing a command like Izayoi's Strike Fall. It also seems that they teased that Ultimate Combos will be back (at least for him). There will be a stream tomorrow (December 2nd) focusing on him and maybe some more information about Season 3. The only thing which worries me is that the description of the video and Ultra Combo page are saying that he'll be only available from 18th of December until the 18th of January and that it is possible that he'll not come back. I hope this isn't the only timeframe in which he will be available. Oh, and everyone who purchased the Day One Xbox Live Gold or the Community Fund Bundle can play him already on December 4th.

I digged through some old articles and according Eurogamer and other sources the second person doesn't need to have a copy of the game: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-12-ps4s-system-update-to-v2-00-will-introduce-share-play Quote: "It won't be necessary for your friend to own that game, [...]" But it still possible that SEGA was so "smart" and decided to block this feature, which is possible for the developers/publishers: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-11-06-not-all-games-are-on-board-with-ps4-share-play I hope that they didn't block it, but Alien: Isolation had this feature too, so there is a good chance that it is available. Here is also a guide from Playstations website for Share Play: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/ps4/features/share-play/ Video: https://youtu.be/aze6aI3lQOo So, if the option isn't blocked, and according to the guide, both players need: a Japanese PSN account (because Share Play is restricted to the games which are available in the countries respective PlayStores), Playstation Plus (I honestly have no idea if the JP PSN account needs to have Plus or any other account) and a good internet connection. Only the host needs to have a copy of the game.

Some things I noticed too: 5D's range is the same as in CPE, so the hitbox is still around the eyes (https://youtu.be/1NoI1GVVMwU?t=1027) That is probably already known but ending a combo with 236D after 6D is possible with knocking the opponent down on the ground with 5C (https://youtu.be/1NoI1GVVMwU?t=1248) Seems that 236236A gained a little buff: Terumi does not laught/says something anymore when activating the counter. Theoretically it is know harder for the opponent to detect if the counter is active. Sadly I don't know where I have seen it and it is still possible that it was just a sound bug. Just want to add a video example: https://youtu.be/1NoI1GVVMwU?t=2167

About an hour footage of Celica vs. Hazama: [26.11.2015] http://www.twitch.tv/nanajo_live/v/27758982?t=01h17m05s There were also some matches against Izayoi: [26.11.2015] http://www.twitch.tv/nanajo_live/v/27758982?t=02h14m26s (until 02:21:15) [26.11.2015] http://www.twitch.tv/nanajo_live/v/27758982?t=02h38m02s I noticed that sometimes Celica's Recovery Capability was around half of her health bar. I wonder if there is an upper limit for it and if it is even possible to regenerate all her health at once.

Yes, the release date is the 26th of November, so we will see next, or even this, week how good (or bad) the sales be. It would intrigue me how the sales of the different editions (PS4, PS3, LEs, etc.) will be. Sega also released the last two character videos with Urayukihime and Rouna and Issac and Dylan. The other character videos can be found here. There is also a Famitsu article about the LE if someone is still undecided.

Don't know if it was already noted, but the shock wave from the second hit of Panzer Strike has a hitbox, similar to the one of Sentinel Dump: Despite that it launches the opponent into a high arch it does not seem to be able to follow it up with anything without RC. Maybe with dash > 5A/2A or Phalanx Cannon. There was also a second thing I noticed; Azrael was not able to Rapid Cancel Panzer Strikes second hit in this situation, though it just seems to be a bug:

To be honest I don't have much knowledge about fighting sticks but the one I would recommend, if you need one for PS3/PS4 and if the price doesn't matter to you too much, is the Mad Catz Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 for PS4 & PS3. It uses Sanwa parts which are also used in many arcade cabinets and you can easily mod it further, like a new faceplate, with some help. I could test it for myself and it isn't too light nor too heavy and it responded very well to my inputs. However, I recommend that you try to find a local retailer or go to your nearest FGC event to try some sticks out, because everyone has either a other weight, other parts, different cases and many other things. If you found one you like try to search online for it. There are many online retailers where you can find and buy your desired one or if you are lucky you'll find it for cheap on an auction site. If you don't like any one of them you can even build one for yourself, but without much technical knowledge about things like soldering it could be quite the challenge.

A good amount of Celica matches (sadly the Video Thread is still missing so I post them here): [20.11.2015] https://youtu.be/xKzKPli9vIE?t=2504 [20.11.2015] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PPxM0OtoWI (until 9:03) [20.11.2015] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6xQatyVh5k (until 30:05) They changed the animation of the recovery off a whiffed Casque Veloute. Likely because of the missing invincibility.

Seems that it is not possible to do Gouga Soutenjin on reaction to avoid Exceed Accels (at least Ragnas): Either I missed something regarding EA or 623B or Seed of Tartarus' hitbox is just too big and hits Terumi on the first frames after the invincibility ends. Oh and Terumi finally got some character specific voices against Ragna, at least in his win pose and during Jabaku Fuuenjin. Against Hazama too. And yeah, the General Discussion and Combo Threads are still missing...

Do we have any knowledge about this "beast" which is Nine controlling in her trailer? It doesn't resemble anything I have seen before. It could either be some kind of avatar which was created with Nine's sorcery or it is one kind of natural occurring demon/animal because its eyes are faintly reminiscing the ones from the monster which attacked Noel when she was younger.

More footage of Nitroplus Blasterz from Revolution 2015, which had a tournament with the test build of the PS4 version, starting here. They were also some Sonico matches: They also had Ouka in their build, but they weren't allowed to select her.

Yeah, 2366D is one of Terumi's most difficult executions. You have to squeeze in a microdash before performing Snake Bite, which takes quite a lot of practice. I think I have seen a video which demonstrated it very good, but @Omortus wrote some very useful tips how to practice it. Though it is difficult I recommend that you try to learn it because it is a very powerful tool in matches since you get a high amount of Heat off it and you can perform a Distortion Drive right after it. "I've got 2366D down consistently on the 1P side, 2P side is sadly a mess for me. Some more tips that'll hopefully help. * Turn on input display in Training Mode and set the dummy to blocking Everything. Practice the hell out of 236D on both sides until it's clean and consistent. * Start adding 56 at the end of your inputs, you'll see the micro-dash before Snake Bite if you're doing it right. * Start slow until you're comfortable with the input. You don't need to be fast on the 236D for Snake Bite to come out, just clean on the motion. * If you're doing 23656D and getting dashing 5D or 6D, it means your 236D input was not clean. In my case, I saw I was actually doing 266D every time I got 5D/6D. * When you feel good with 2366D, start trying it with 22C. You just need to find the right timing to do the input here now that you have the motion down. * If you get Snake Bite without the dash, it means you did the input early. Try waiting a little longer. I found waiting till the opponent hits the wall after the last kick works best for me."

@Nightfall Zero You don't have to worry about that you find no people online, thats for sure. The majority of people are online on late evening or weekends and because of the EU release you'll likely find someone on other daytimes too. "Is it worth spending hours and days to learn this game" is such a difficult question to answer. At the end you have to judge it for yourself if you want to learn it and show what you have learned online and get better or if you want to occasionaly play it with like-minded people which is nice too. Regarding the level of play... this could be a bit diificult. Ranked play automatically looks for a opponent who are on your level but you shouldn't use it until you have some experience with your character because there will be no mercy during the battles. If you open up a room I recommend that you name it "EU beginner", this way you'll likely find people who are new too or the veterans know that they should not go all out, and even if they do just point out that you are still learning the character and if they still act like a stubborn git just kick them out of the room or leave it. You don't have to feel bad if your opponents are too lazy to read or if they kicking you like bag full of puppies, it isn't worth the struggle and hopefully they apprehend it until next time. If you go into the big sixty-four player lobbies, you should pay attention on the D-Codes of the players. These codes show the amount of played games and if you see someone who you think is too strong you can either avoid him/her or ask nicely if they could play with someone who they have not much experience yet (I think there is even chat-command for it). Also, go to the Hierarchical City which is located in Europe (it is marked on the map). You'll likely find some communties or fitting forums in your language if look around on the internet. You can even ask here on the Match Finder/GG Thread if they have time to play, but please write that you are from Europe so that troubles can be avoided.

Not just AmiAmi, every store where you can preorder it will have Sonia, and likely the first-day editions of the game will have her too.You can simply redeem it if you have a Japanese SEN/PSN account. Somewhere down the list in the left is the section "Redeem Code", there you put in the code for Sonia (which likely will be on some kind of flyer in the disc case) and then you can download her. Kurushii made a very good guide if you need further information. (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/6703-importing-101/)

Yeah, Jin can combo from his throw (ground and air) into his Astral Heat (which is also an unblockable). You can combos into Hazama's Astral Heat after 214[D]~C, in corner 3C > 236D (or 236C > 5B > 3C > 236D), backthrow into corner, 3C > Astral Heat close to opponent or if you hit him/her above Hazama with Ouroboros. It also possible to go into his Astral from a CH j.214B in the corner. Though there are still other possibilities to combo into his Astral Heat. And here is one combo with Litchi's Astral Heat:
