Yup, though he's a npc at the moment.

They should be. I'll very later and update them accordingly.

I thought I was the only one who hated their voices...

Oh ok makes sense, thanks for the clarification. I guess RTL does shit damage again lol. Axl's stance seems to have everyone stressed out at Day -6 lol. It'll definitely have people shook for the first few days/weeks. Already that Ky player was handling it pretty well in that tournament, but everyone else got blown up by Axl for the most part. Thought the Venom player would've done better, but he had no chance or time to set anything up. And Axl has a legit dp now just like his #R iteration correct?

This made me laugh. Don't forget about their nephew, That One Guy. Thanks for the info, I knew Durandal had to do with knighthood, since I always heard the name with regards to Knights, like in Monster Rancher.

Order Sol reeks of console DLC for me personally...

I'm not so sure they were in Hellfire Mode though, it doesn't always seem to say that when you're on your last 10-15% of health. I doubt they'd make the message appear at random. I'm starting to wonder always happens in Xrd now. Ky's aerial stun edges are looking so good right now, minimal ground recovery and it causes the opponent to slightly float if they're hit in the air, allowing you to combo off of it. Split Ciel is looking good, no one seems to be using Ky's new 3hs though, it looks like it's an anti backdash normal the same way his ACR/AC 6hs works, except ti's more safe to use. @Sin's discussion, I highly doubt they'll give him that segmented RTL, since I don't see that it striking multiple times being helpful. Unless it'll work like Chipp's Zansierouga super. Also you can't replace Anji with Izuna, they play nothing alike, not even Baiken. Those two offer extremely unique defensive playstyles that can't be replicated. Though seeing Izuna would be interesting, but I'm more curious to see Dr. Paradigm, Testament (will he upgrade from a gothic dress to a lolita knee-highskirt?), Johnny (I wanna know if he'll have a beard still), and Raven (he plays A LOT like Testament I wonder how they'll keep him fresh, plus people have wanted him playable for years).

Wow really, what does Ky dislike now? It's reddish black, but if Sin says it's black, then I go with black. Plus it sounds more badass in my books when your lightning is black as opposed to red.

Sin was a purely mid range character, whereas Ky excels mid to long range and Sol mid to close. Sin was best at mid range, his normals were somewhat slow compared to the other 2 but they has great reach and were hard to avoid. He had a counter stance but no DP, so I expect that to transition into Xrd when he becomes playable. His specials REALLY jacked up your guard, but once again took time to come out. He has two very interesting projectiles, the first was Voltic Eye which was a stationary projectile about the size of lvl 2 Blockhead Buster/Ky's CSE. I would like to see it make it into Xrd for his oki setups. His other was Phantom Shot which was is only long range tool, it took time to start up but dealt really good damage and had high projectile priority. Finally Sin, because he's part Gear, had an install called Exciter which slightly enhanced his specials. Also Sin's lightning is actually black, he mentions that in his intro against Ky.

I don't have a virus, I don't get viruses and I download like crazy. @kitsoru, yeah the color palette thing is pretty dope. They spared no expense on this game. I guess ArcSys always knew that GG is where the real money is.

Sin doesn't look fully animated yet, when Ky and Sol when into a partial defensive stance, Sin remained the same. So I think he is in the process of being completed. Valentine's Gamma Ray is a SERIOUS Gamma Ray, i wonder if it'll have any practical uses. I didn't think she had swords THAT big hovering over her though. Shoutouts to that dark ending for Ky's Arcade mode, really set up for this game's console release. Ky looks like a blast to play, being able to combo off aerial stun edges like that is pretty nuts. Axl's stance is HELLA strong for a Day -6 new move. It being able to combo into itself makes it even scarier but it seems to make Axl extremely vulnerable up close since he has to formally get out of the stance once you get in. It was nice to see people who actually know what they're doing play the game. The damage of the game doesn't seem to look like much of an issue as I thought before. Danger Time is still dumb but it looks like you can't get retarded damage off of 5hs>66>5hs>66>5hs like in earlier loketest reports. EDIT: grinder seals seem to go away if a projectile hits it, as in the opponent's projectiles can eliminate Grinder Seals, noticed that in the Axl vs Ky matchup.

I highly doubt that, unless Faust is a resident of Illyria now. I'll put my money on Sin playable and that's his stage. I think what they did with the guards and the crowds as the match drags on is going to make that my favorite Xrd stage. That makes A LOT more sense. From what I understood in elven's posts was; that Xrd's 5d's were back to their original speed that had been universally nerfed in ACR, as such whenever a character performs 5d an exclamation appears over their heads to warn the blocking opponent an overhead is coming. The exclamation if you get hit makes more sense now, thanks. You mean, you can't wait for the game to show up to the specialists lol. Ok makes sense.

Oh I just can't read, my bad. And yeah it's actually cus the second follow up attack it makes Sol not safe on block, but allows him to follow up in an air combo if it hits. It also descends noticeably faster the further it goes, making it (I assume) harder to AA. it also looks like it does immense chip damage on lock when performed in DI too. EDIT: Rewatching the Xrd video again, thanks Kurushiii, I just realized Illyria has 2 stages. The Courtyard, Ky's official stage, and Illyria Downtown due to the presence of his servants/military. I wonder if this stage is supposed to go to someone or if it's just an added stage... I also like the extra touch to Downtown with as the match goes on more people appear to watch and Ky's servants/guards appear as well over time. THIS GAME:yaaay: EDIT2: @Faust players, Is Faust's bomb explosion smaller, or does it just look that way because because the game is widescreen now? I thought there were supposed to be exclamation marks over characters when they perform 5d now? Am I blind?

If someone is willing to go and buy me 2 Ky buttons and one of Sol. I would pay whatever is necessary, or I can sacrifice my left eye to you as a means of bartering. GG buttons would do me more good then both eyes without those GG push buttons. It was so funny this girl I've been talking LITERALLY called me the moment GGXrd stuff started happening and I was stuck staring at my phone and my laptop for like 15 seconds choosing what to do.#GamerProblems I decided to watch and put it on mute since I don't understand Japanese very well. The game looks about as fast as it's always been but yes, longer hitstun/blockstun this time around. It doesn't ruin the game just makes it kinda different. Smart move by ArcSys/Daisuke. I think people exacerbated the whole RC pose thing, it didn't like like it was a problem. I just don't like the concept of a needless mechanic as Danger Time. Also what's this about the old Grand Viper recovering in the air or being better? Something I didn't pick up on? Dogura seems to be one of those few players that genuinely enjoy both games for what they are. Since I still see him playing both games and dominating people. I can't see him not playing Xrd, if anything will he be willing and able to dominating people still in BB with Xrd's release is a more accurate question. he plays mostly at a-cho for GG btw. What? Why is your button layout so slightly odd?

Lol. All they had to do was make 6d frame 1, and I might've played more. Oh well...

Terumi is looking nice this time around.

Lol well I was hoping the changes could make me play this character/game again... It was a nice thought while it lasted, maybe seeing him in action will change my mind *runs back to the Terumi boards*

I only knew about Jam, I never knew he played Millia. That's interesting. I guess it's more likely he'll go back to Millia in Xrd. I'm so hype . I also can't help but speculate in Sin will have an install like super in Xrd, since he had one in GG2. God this game needs to be out now...

He... reminds me of Brice... >_> I do hope he comes That's honestly slightly creepy/distrubing. You'er not babbling I was hoping for the same thing as well. It's nice to get new blood, but it would also be nice to see old GG heads back. Some like Shounen I doubt since he's married coupled with his main not being in the game (yet). But guys like Koichi, Woshige (who we still see at Mikado), Machaboo (who's recently featured on Goldenrody's channel), Ogawa, and P.C would be nice to see them again. I certainly know Ogawa is willing to Give ArcSys his money/tokens so long as they don't botch his precious Eddie/Zato-1 like they did in ACR lol. LMAO *sigged* I can see this happening. Players like him will be valuable at showing how to use old and new tools given to the GG cast. Even though Ain and Machaboo have different playstyles with Ky, I find Machaboo is still the strongest Ky player. I hope to see him prominently in Xrd like the days of AC. I'd put money on it honestly that he will. He'll just play Sol until Order Sol is in. I guess it's safe to assume Nemo will be back to playing Faust until testament is back in I guess. I personally find there's been less GG vids as Xrd's release is approaching, but maybe that's just me, but that could say a lot about their hype levels. I wonder who Satou will play if he even will play this game though. Can't wait for Day 1 streaming and seeing Ogawa turn matches with others into "One Player Training Mode/Combo Video Sessions" ^_^

@DaiAndOh, do you know if N-O was present at the loketests? If so, did he give any impressions on the game?

I cannot PHYSICALLY wait for this game... But I'm also not ready at all for it. I can't wait for everything in this game that it has to offer. Side note, I expect Sin and Valentine to be the next playable characters. I hope we got awesome character specific intros, especially fight intros. Since there's a chance we might not since ArcSys only started doing that as of AC if I remember correctly. So I hope that Daisuke continues that trend into this game.

I remember Blade posting something about Order Sol's sword actually being the first to adorn the name "Junkyard Dog" is this true and where was this revealed. It also explains why Junkyard Dog Mk. 3, bears a stronger resemblance to Order Sol's sword than either of Sol's Fuuenken he used in XX or GG2. Any info on Ky's Magnolia Eclair 2?

If they release one of Ky they can have full proprietorship of my body and soul in exchange for the figure statue. That Sol one looks dope, I wonder how much it'll cost.

Once again, I was actually thinking the same thing. The First Man, great ancestor of, That Man and his offspring That Kid lol.

I actually thought of Bang as well when I read that info on Chipp, so nothing to be ashamed of. Chipp is sounding pretty boss already, but his stage is the Japanese colony lol. Surprised the Assassin's Guild members are working together, last I remember they (most likely Venom) was trying to coerce Ky in Overture if I remember correctly... And Bedman really sounds like a villain.
