I take it Answer is the other male member of the Senate besides Cronus?

I couldn't even make out any of the names in the credits due to bad video quality, unless another Arcade run has popped up with clear visuals. Added to the list.

You probably could on TR, but not this game. People are actually good on this game.

Oh my fucking God Venom, Slayer, Mirror Faust, and I-no's faces are hilarious.

That's Eddie, not Zato.

My favorite so far is what appears to indeed be Millia vs. Zato since it had the same theme playing from the Zato story stream.

No, she really IS that frustrating to deal with. Fuck Lili. She does have her weaknesses though. A lot of Lili players have easily recognizable patterns that determine what they will do next. -They usually use her Invincible after an obviously unsafe move is blocked, unless it ends in back-turn stance. -Lili players LOVE their sweeps. They are easy to see coming but depending on the connection they can still be a pain to deal with. Low parries are recommended. -In back-turn stance, watch carefully for what she does. If she does anything other than a crouching punch or a sweep, Invincible that shit. You can even do it when she's going into back-turn stance depending on your character's invincible. -Watch out for Matterhorn (d+3+4) or the Angel Knee version (u/f+3+4, 3+4). If this is blocked, most people resort to the invincible to stop your punish. -The second hit of Dominating Heel (d/f+4, 4) is a low that can be either blocked or low parried. -If the fourth hit of her 10-hit is the beginning of Dominating Heel, the low parry points are at the 5th and 6th hits. -If the fourth hit of her 10-hit is the beginning of the Sundial Kicks (f+3+4, 3, 4), the low parry points are at the 6th and 7th hits. -AVOID BEING PUT IN THE CORNER AT ALL COSTS. This is where Lili wants you to be because she has a shitload of high-damaging options and strong okizeme at the wall. She even has a special wall throw like King. If you end up there you're pretty much fucked because she can basically do whatever the hell she feels like and there is almost nothing you can do about it unless you guess how to get up correctly.

They changed her face a little bit. same with Jun. Her chin is more anatomically correct and less pointy. They basically made all the female characters look more like their CG artwork., instead of being just modified versions of male faces

IIRC MediaFire has changed for the worse. MEGA is largely preferred over it now. Anyway, game looks fantastic in its current state. Can't wait for that glorious day 1 footage.

More impressions. -Seems like everybody got new themes. -Millia's theme sounds just as you'd expect. Plenty of pipe organ action. -Axl's theme sounds similar to March of the Wicked King in the beginning, but then transitions to a more upbeat sounding tune. -Ky's sounds a bit like a mix of Holy Orders and Lust SIN. -Sol vs. Ky sounds like a reinterpretation of The Re-coming, their VS. theme from Overture.

That Xrd stream gave some good listens to some of the music. -Sol's theme is yet another remix of Keep Yourself Alive. -It seems May has a new theme, but it still has the feel of Blue Water Blue Sky. -Didn't get a good listen on Bedman's theme outside of the guitar portions because everybody was talking during the match.

Valentine's Day Update incoming -New Character: Jaycee (Bob also added for US version) -Rank cap increased to 25th Dan (Raijin) -Level cap increased to Level 70 -New Mokujin Festival -For a limited time, there will be a random jackpot of Blood Seals in Arcade and Online modes -For a limited time, Premium Effect DLC will be 50% off. Jaycee Costumes Costume 1: Cowgirl Outfit Costume 2: Swimsuits, Unmasked

What do you expect? He has a trenchcoat. Totally maining him BTW.

Yeah, this has been going on for a while now. It's server-related, nothing to do with either players' connection.

Info from recent stream. (NOTE: I am typing this after undergoing eye surgery so apologies if there are any spelling errors. I only have one working eye at the moment.) -All characters' Arcade Modes now have full-fledged cutscenes (both fully animated and gameplay-style, all using the 3D models). -Zato is indeed alive, with Eddie now working in tandem with him instead of controlling his body outright.. This is likely due to the Senate's interference (Millia makes a passing reference in Vastedge that the Senate retrieved Zato's body a while back). Eddie takes the shape of a lizard-like head whenever he needs to talk to Zato (kinda like Leviathan to Squigly in Skullgirls). -His first opponent is Millia (No, their BGM is not Still in the Dark. Sorry everybody.). Venom is with Millia but departs before the fight begins. Ge reappears in the cutscene directly afterward.

Zato's new winpose is awesome (Eddie takes the shape of a hand or flower and Zato emerges from it).

I love how the YouTube subtitles manage to keep almost all of Hazama's lines perfectly correct in this episode. Noel vs. Nu was hilarious, as was the bet with Hazama and Rachel. Speaking of Rachel, love Arietta's performance. Certainly sounds a lot better than Mela Lee's new lines in CP. Reminds me of Amy/Viola in Soul Calibur.

Char's Zaku II? Watch it be 3x better than every other mech in the game.

This thing has Nakamura, Yoshimitsu's suicide move, AND X-Factor all at once? Totally maining (the one true) Susano'o when I get this game eventually.

Thanks for clarifying. I might end up creating a Japanese PSN account to play this game and possibly AC+R.

So is this game like Virtual-On or something? Because I am a huge fan of Virtual-On and from gameplay footage I've seen of this game it looks similar except with actual Gundams instead of the VO knockoffs.

Um, we DO have a voice actor thread, you know. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?16563-ArcSys-Voice-Acting

Zato didn't have infinite blockstrings to gain meter with. Or an unblockable super that leads to a touch of death combo against certain characters in the corner. Peronally, I agree with the decision to ban her at specific tournaments until further notice.

It gets worse in regards to Kenshiro. Notice how all the returning characters have their voice actors/actresses taken from the TV adaptations? Kenshiro's VA has pretty much retired. Not only that, but the authors themselves thought his performance was awful. So awful, in fact, that they actively do everything within their power to make it so he doesn't return to the role ever again. This is why the cast for each adaptation of Fist of the North Star keeps changing.

Gin would be nice (because Hazama), but I'd much rather have Kenpachi.
