Technically no. But the multiverse is an existing concept in BB, so there's always a chance universes can collide...

@Tong Nice! Do you take requests if we were to provide character and color #?

As a PC player, I didn't have the month head start, so I kinda based my team off streams and vids. But now, starting to re-think my team. I'll probably stick w/ Chie+Hyde til 6/19. I was already really looking forward to Vatista and Naoto and will try them out. Both look really nice based off what little I've seen. But anyway, how are you guys feeling about your teams? Did you make any changes? Any disappointments? Pleasant surprises?

It's up for US pre-orders now, too. Tons on stream.

I'm super excited about Naoto. She seemed like a given if we expected ASW to have all of the investigation team in the game, but after Aigis was announced, I guess all bets were off. I liked Vatista announced as well, tho I don't plan to play her. Hakumen is cool, i figured he was a shoe-in.

I had Carmine being one of the 40, possibly being revealed today on a bet I had w/ a buddy. I also thought Jubei had a strong chance to be in the 40, but definitely didn't see him getting revealed this early. Aigis? Wouldn't have guessed at all that she'd be in the 40. Really surprised a non-Investigation Team character got revealed this early/at all.

Well, the short-lived activity was nice lol… “SRK forums dead? Let’s post in Dustloop for a day” *SRK forums announces they aren’t dead* *Dustloop forums silent again* Anyway, just wondering what the status/progress is for whomever is working on the DBFZ wiki for Dustloop? I see some minor things updated here and there, but just curious. I need something to read at work! =D

Ugh, not a huge fan of the Discourse format. But it's not terrible. Regardless, good for them and hopefully that still doesn't affect Dustloop forum activity.

Honestly, I don't mind 20 base characters and I don't mind 20 DLC characters. But Blake and Yang as DLC is nearly unforgivable. They're titular characters from the franchise that's in the cross-over. I feel like this was rushed for some reason...to be a community event at EVO2018? I'm really confused why they did this, it has to be more than just "how can we maximize revenue from DLC"... I'd be more forgiving if 14-16 of the 20 DLC characters were NOT BB characters, but that's obviously not likely. What DLC shit w/ DBFZ? $40 for 8 characters is a pretty standard $5/character rate. And it's Namco's decision anyway, not ASW's. But re: your pricing, why do you think it's $8/character? You even pointed out DBFZ's "shit", which is just $5/character. So what makes you think it'll be $8 for BBCTB? Just b/c of Jubei in CF? GGXrdREV's DLC characters were just $5. Not sure if Team Red/Blue decide for their respective games or if a central figure at ASW decides the prices, but Jubei may be the exception to the rule. Wasn't he like the most hyped new character in BB history, so they knew they could charge a premium? Plus, I'm sure ASW maybe learns from this backlash and tries to pull a solid for the fans.

Looks like there's some silver lining to SRK forums closing. Still, RIP to them. But yay, Dustloop!

What I was afraid of. Shame really, I only discovered Dustloop last year and thought it was barren just due to the ages of the current ASW games. I'd much rather this be more active than having to resort to reddit. Oh well, will just have to adapt.

Is this sub-forum expected to be busier once DBFZ launches? I haven't found any other forums discussing this highly hyped game. Granted, I haven't really looked either... >_> Please don't tell me reddit or GamFAQS forums will be the place to be!!!

In general, I'd just throw fireballs and basically be patient. Wait for an opportunity to do an air combo for big damage or an opening to knockdown my opponent to do a fireball from behind + 5H crossup. Sorry to necro! But also testing out something on these forums =) (how to make the forum bolded w/ new content again).

Wonder if current ratio is how the final roster will look? Looking bleak for supporting RWBY characters!

I'm a bit curious how getting into self-publishing will affect ASW as a business. Will they only do self-published titles? Will they still work as contractors for other companies? Will they publish/localize other developers' games? etc etc. Kinda makes me think of Gearbox. They have their own publishing division for some of their own games and other studios' games they publish for them. But they also still get outsourced to do dev work on other companies' games (Sega, 2K) and have some of their own IPs still published by other companies (2K. Tho BL is co-owned I believe, but Duke is 100% owned by Gearbox, still published by 2K).

Well, UNIEL does have auto-combos, but I haven't played P4A or BB:CF to compare one to another. How are P4A's and BB's different? One is not just spamming the same button?

I'd hope so

I first played BB (CT and CS) on PS3, but it was super casual. I hadn't played another ASW game for another 7 years until I picked up GGXrdREV2 a couple weeks ago. I won't get into GG, but I thought BB had a really cool aesthetic and unique gameplay compared to the more mainstream fighting games I was used to. But to be honest, there isn't much I can say about BB in regards to praise or reasons why I play it. B/c I don't play it, at least I haven't in years (tho I did boot up the PS3 earlier tonight to dabble in both BB's I have). I will say, my current circumstances - resorting to playing FGs on PC since I don't have a PS4/XB1 - means I need to find a new FGC niche, since I mained NRS games (w/ Smash and Namco sprinkled in) since basically forever. After much testing, I've decided to become an ASW convert! That being said, I'm more hyped for BB:CTB than I am for DBFZ (at least I think I am. At this moment, at least). And it's making me want to try out BB:CF, just to get a feel for the characters as characters - story, flavor, personalities, etc. There's a playlist on youtube that has all story mode content from all 4 games, and it's ~40 hours worth of videos! I like to play characters I like, so I may just choose RWBY and UNIEL characters instead of BB characters, cuz I'm just not sure I'll watch all those videos lol. I need time to train in GG! The other thing that makes BB a bit more desirable than GG is that the social media community seems more active. While GG has slightly higher player #'s on steam, BB seems to have more forum activity, active FB groups, etc. So that could be a factor, ultimately. But I am really looking forward to maybe giving an update in this thread. May I ask why?

well, you may be pleased to hear I've decided on Haehyun ...and Ramlethal. I'll co-main them eventually, but those are the 2 I've settled on. I figured since I'm new to the GG series, I'd pick characters who are new to the GG series as well, appearing first in the Xrd line (since I did watch all the SIGN Arcade and Story Mode vids at least!).

Hey all, So GGXrdREV2 is my first ever GG game and I got it just a week ago and after clearing the Arcades for all 25 characters, going through some of Story Mode, and doing some dabbling in the Dojo, it's time I decide on who I actually want to play! So long story short, I'm making this decision purely off the character themselves as characters - their story, personality, flavor, etc. I have no real preference in style, as I've played zoners, grapplers, rushdowners, etc. Learning curve MAY be a factor, but I'm going to dedicate a lot of time to this, so I won't mind. I haven't really dedicated time learning a fighter since Mortal Kombat X. In fact, the majority of my FG history is NRS, Namco, and Smash. This'll be the first time I embrace a 2D anime/Japanese fighting game. So anyway, for a variety of reasons, I've narrowed it down to Dizzy, Haehyun, Jam, and Ramlethal. So my question may not quite be "who do you recommend", but rather just "who do you like" out of the 4 above? You can vote based on however you want - background, play style, difficulty, representation in the community, even just as a recommendation, etc. Thanks for any and all input! (also, why does Dizzy not have an updated sprite for the Xrd character forums list? ) edit: I should say style/mechanics DO matter in the sense that I ruled out Jack-O' due to her sweep being 3H instead of 2D like everyone else(?). I didn't want that throwing me off in case I had a co-main/pocket/sub characters.

Not sure if you'll ever check this, but you can add me on steam!
