Finally, we get to see Mian, and she looks most interesting (a rekka character perhaps? I know the rumors said she used stances but all of her movements looked pretty fluid unless her her moves leave her in certain stances, her mask does switch around a lot but each move seems pretty uniquely associated with an attack outside of an EX attack which has her switch to multiple ones during it, but it looks like too many that would be manageable manually lol, maybe it's just visual aesthetic lol hmmm, no, there is at least once instance where it looks like she manually changes, after doing her CD attack, really wish her movelist was out lol; really like bubble trail as well) man seeing this, no one has been using Sylvie properly yet lol but can't blame them, this is all pre-release. So excited!! Of course, their theme is really nice; grand without over doing it, truly embodies their performance art theme (wait . . . does Kukri have some sort of hidden talent lol)

EDIT: Also, Wednesday Night Fight exhibition: E3 Showcase with Mr. KoF and Reynald (some strong play with interesting experimentation; really excited to play Muimui since she has the best parts of Xiangfei and Kasumi while bringing in her own brand of awesome):

I'm liking what I'm hearing. Speaking of hearing, after watching the Villains Team trailer a few more times, I realized that the main tune of Ryo (Team Korea's '95 theme) is in the song. That's so cool!

That move acts more like Wolverine's Drill Claw than Cinder's (who I would more compare to Phoenix). But if you want to be annoying as fuk, then yes, Choi will do. Because fuk Chang and Choi.

Oh man, the Villains Team got a really cool theme and stage; Xanadu might be my favorite newcomer lol. For some reason he makes think this is what a human Dedede would be like . . . lol

Appreciate the better roster choices and the waaay better looking supers lol But the gameplay looks pretty much the same, though we didn't see tech gimmicks in full force (if the armors are just Moons again . . . *yawn*).

As I suspected, Luong is pretty juggle oriented, though it looks like she needs EX to be at her most effective. Gang-Il look sick lol He really does feel like the Takuma to Kim's Ryo lol (still really hoping one day we'll get Chae Lim in main canon ; -;7 ) Belief doesn't really sound anything like pass Korea themes, which isn't a bad thing, I still like it's soothing intro into the high octane main composition. Another request if for old theme AST: Wild Party or, to more fit with the OST, I think Ryo would be a nice fit too. Side note: that '96 styled opening for XIV is sick, wish they'd do something like that for real lol

Tiger & Dragon is sick! Probably my second favorite song right now, but I feel like they left Yuri out of the mix lol. Still it's the perfect blend of Art of Fighting themes (I hope the AST, if an old song, is/a remix of Diet lol)

Hibiki is already an advance character to use and I personally feel Power should be left alone until you are fully comfortable with her. Seeing how Hibiki does not get any exclusive moves from one type or the other it comes down to her BC and Ultimate; while it's always nice to have an Ultimate, Hibiki's requires strict range to get maximum benefit (need to be really close, and Hibiki works best at mid range) and Speed's BC overall has better utility than Power's BC. Also, due to the recovery on a lot of her moves it is nice to be able to chain with Speed so that you can get your opponent guessing more. Also I would recommend 236+C over A whenever possible, since it gives you a knockdown.

The trailer theme is liking Part A of the Estate at Noon stage. As for Ibuki's theme itself . . . I'm conflicted, I like it, I really do, but I was kind of hoping for something more like F.A.N.G's theme, something more out there that would go all in on the Japanese aesthetic (since we're missing a truly folk fusion theme) but this theme has the more electronica stylings common to this OST (not a bad thing) and oddly enough, a more Latin flair with the acoustic guitar.

This is Boost/Judgment . . . Except everyone is Kakusei ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The kote and suneate are actually why I love her design! But I'm a big dweebenheimer for feudal Japanese armor aesthetic, but I'll take this over her functional (if boring) training garb and definitely over just a seifuku. Either way, don't worry, she'll get training garb for Story costume and then a bunch of truly nonsensical mess for premium costumes ' x' (although I wouldn't mind her casual just shirt and jeans outfit, because Aoko has made me a sucker for the most basic of casual attire as well :x )

Initial details on Ibuki's play style. To quote myself: Now the TRUE question is . . . What Color? When's release?

What . . . I don't even . . . Outside of dressing dapper, Oswald and Hein couldn't be more different lolol and I'm more partial to the Sakamoto anime comparison ' x'

No one knows (yet) though the new public builds start rolling out to (Japanese) arcades later "today". All we can do now is wait . . . If it helps ALL his move names are related to chess (Lelouch confirmed!) Skewer (front throw) Pin (back throw) Bayonet (6A) Brander (6B) Pawn (236+A/C) Knight (623+B/D) Rook (214+A/C) Castling (41236+B/D, after Rook) Queen (2363214+A/C) King (214214+B/D) Domination (632146324+AC)

and NOW I'm going to pre-order XIV, I was waiting for this, I knew we wouldn't be outdone by XIII! But wtf the 3-disc OST sounds like it is JUST XIV music .o. I assume it'll break down as: Disc 1 - OST/Disc 2 - AST/Disc 4 - Story OST(?). Either way, I'm a happy SoBa

No Employment Education (or) Training aka glorified bum Q.Q My schedule is pretty wide open lol

What part of #NEETlife don't you get That's not how fighters work lol "This story . . . is not yet over!"

For serious Zedar!? Q.Q The best Sol vs Ky theme and a delectable selection of Isuka music!? #revelatorconfirmedbestverofguiltygear ; -;7 This is the kind of selection I wanted from Sign lol

. . . It's 538yen (roughly $5) more than what Famitsu/Ebten are asking And Amazon is going to pretty much screw you in shipping lol, if you're importing there really is no way around it, you're not going to pay MSRP, c'est la vie. I'm just happy to get it at all with specialty retailer exclusivity.

ARC and Ebten have been in bed for quite awhile, this is nothing new and it is clearly benefiting them; putting a product on store shelves =/= guarantee increased sales. I don't want to call it "print on demand" cause that's clearly not what it is, but it likely saves them money by sending out product on a request basis as opposed to trying to stock store shelves and having the product collect dust, or worse, phased out/moved to low visibility (early bargain bin). Retail in America is sad, I cannot even begin to imagine how bad it must be in Japan. As far as international customers go, this isn't anything new to us importers either lol. All import sites have a bit of markup, if not in the base price than in the unavoidable shipping. Hell, people on here still frequent PlayAsia, the worst offender of this lol. CD Japan's special request fee is next to nothing, and high demand items get temporarily added to the store for as long as they can guarantee stocking it, so it becomes a moot point. I apologize for nothing . . .

Ah, yeah Miho Sudou was in the XX series pre-AC, I just remember her from X, though shouldn't be surprised since they just recycled clips for the longest time. Still, I really like and will miss Yonemoto.

But . . . Chizu Yonemoto has voiced Baiken throughout the entirety of the XX series There were actually very few role changes in AC, there were however newly recorded lines with different recording setups, which is why so many characters sounded strange/new but actually weren't lol

To be fair, the fact that they're delivering Story mode in such a nonsensical way could bode well for legitimate DLC characters, sort of like how Continuum Shift worked out.
