IN addition to the guts rating (if it's still even present in Xrd) does everyone take less damage once in Hellfire Mode like Awakened Mode in Persona? Because that could explain a lot about damage right now.

This all sonnds retarded, especially the 50% part on Zato-1. Ky's mixup pressure game isn't even that strong compared to the entirety of the cast. That nerf to js is dumb. Thanks for all the info though.

I always assumed that was the full translation...

No news on Ky eh?

Good post, well both your mains in GG and BB are usually top characters due to their design being heavy rush + 50/50 oki. Complex characters shouldn't be average otherwise no one will play them, and I've seen that happen. But you don't want the complex characters to flat out dominate the rest of the cast either. But not making a character brain dead sounds easier in theory than in practice honestly. It's not like developers will always know what players will discover when playing with certain characters honestly. But yes, braindead is always an issue among players when it comes to top-tiers.

That's awesome, I guess the chances of us seeing is increasing. Does he still dress weird? Is Valentine's gamma-ray-esk super a full tension super, or a 50% tension super?

That only applies if you have shounen protagonist powers of friendship.

I find Azrael's pressure/oki game isn't as good as his GG counter part, so I think that could/should be enhanced. But that's my opinion anyways, everyone else (besides Kokonoe/Relius/Valkenhayn) aren't really a problem. Overall I find they did a really good job on this game in every aspect, obviously it's not perfect but it's good and, for the most part fun.

You mean this:

I've already been broken (Kenshiro voice).

That, I have no idea about. I still don't even quite get the whole macros thing anyways.

Yes you will.

That's not really a nerf though, if anything that's a buff.That's not really a nerf though, if anything that's a buff. If you're clever enough you can break their staggered state for a free combo or knock down without the cost of any meter. I actually liked that change, and I hope they keep it at least for a while in upcoming iterations.That's not really a nerf though, if anything that's a buff.

I actually liked that change, and I hope they keep it at least for a while in upcoming iterations. To put what Sophis posted here into perspective. In older BB iterations, when I need to make a comeback or simply playing a match I like to observe my opponent's pressure tendencies and neutral game habits to exploit, maybe break their momentum with a well placed counter because I observed they enjoy going for overheads after making me block 2b. Or I'll make sure that next time I do a jc low to the ground I'll have 3 stars because I noticed they try to AA me everytime I do jc, so I'll space it so that it'll cause a CH on them and I'll have enough meter to do jc>(land)>214A>623AA. Now I don't even think along those lines, now it's just "Do I have OD yet?", "Looks like I'll have to wait for OD to fully recover before I go on the offense again", "what can I exploit on my opponent so that I can OD them", "Has OD recharged yet?". Literally the only thing I can rely on is OD in a match, and his worst matchups are characters he can't get in on to OD them (Relius, Valkenhayn, and Kokonoe and I'm aware of how strong each of them are). I can't rely apply pressure, and I can't really break out of it because Hakumen's counters suck so bad some cast members can get in on him so easily for free and his reversals suck so much they don't even help. he;s so one dimensional that if he can';t get you with OD he's most liekly fucked because he doesn't have much else going for him in terms of character designs. Also, no one mentioned this but make Yukikaze have static damage of 3.8k again. It does 1.8k or so against superarmor moves now, every other version of BB Yukikaze did the same static damage of 3.8k even if it countered superarmor moves. For me that was the breaking point when I decided to stop playing the game, and just play Terumi (who isn't so one dimensional) whenever I touch the game.

Yeah they probably got that idea from Overture, since the announcer in GG2 said something different for each round the longer matches went on for. EDIT: Yes it's in the form of the rolling/tumbling effect you see in the game's first trailer when Ky knocks Sol out of Fafnir with 6p.

His new combos routes/theory is about the only thing i like(d) about him. Everything else about him in this incarnation is boring, one dimensional, brain dead, and most of all boring.

The damage in the game seems to be pretty high overall still, I'm guessing it's done like that when taking into the universal reduced damage buff of being in Hellfire Mode. This game looks amazing. Interesting that they added a sliding effect when wallpinned now, I wonder how this'll affect combos...

He's being sarcastic. None of that, just bring them back to their csex status.

Wow, can this character get ANY cooler? How did he prove the UN/rest of the world wrong about Gears exactly? I don't recall him stating or showing Illyria as having an official gear population to the public has he? PWAB has gotten their hands on almost every source of political influential power in the world, it's crazy...

Care to explain what you mean about Ky rebelling against the UN status quo? As for everyone else, it seems almost as if the Guild is returning to its roots? Maybe plans to get involved with the political mess? This is just my pure speculation, but since the Guild's original purpose was basically the root out corruption perhaps they intend to deal with the Senate as well. (Seeing Millia and Venom not going at each others' throat on contact makes me think there must be a shaky alliance for SOME reason, lol). As for Sin, I'm hoping we'll see him, yeah... Maybe they stuck him at home to guard still-frozen Dizzy while Ky was off getting Sol, but perhaps she'll awaken and they'll all meet up along the course of the story. Who knows :V

What's your psn id? And I had a feeling I'd get a response from you.

I don't see why Sol would be in the colony, it would make more sense for him to be in Japan. Nothing to be gained by Sol for hanging out at a secluded area for Japanese people.

They REALLY are lol, I was thinking the same thing. @kitsoru, thanks for the translations. I was curious about what they were talking about. So Sol has a plan to deal with Valentine's resurfacing and Ky is well aware fo it and plans to give Sol money for taking her down? Maybe we might finally see Sin, since he has been traveling again with Sol since at least Vastedge. @50-50, yes Overture is cannon, in fact the XX story line is a gaiden/side story according to Daisuke, and GG1-GG2: Overture-GGXrd are the only main games (at least in terms of plot when it comes to story-fags like myself). There's videos of the game's story all over youtube, if you have any questions feel free to message me.

Maybe I'm going off topic but I wonder if Valentine's revival in a new form, the Senate, and the PWAB have anything to do with each other... I'm so excited for this game, the intro DID NOT disappoint (solid amount of Ky footage lol)

Yeah, I just noticed that too, after constantly watching the intro lol. Bardius???

I was NOT physically prepared for this all of a sudden. I'm not quite ready yet, and I was on the verge of screaming if it wasn't so late/early right now... Also, VENOM IN A SUIT?! PLEASE BE A DLC ALTERNATE, TOO MUCH SWAG ON HIM RIGHT NOW
