Overture you could listen to Japanese audio and read english subs. GG won't abandon its glorious Nipponjin roots. Also the animation for Split Ciel is so badass and anime as fuck, when Ky's outfit blows back with the wind and dust kicks up behind him.

I think I have you psn right? If you're ready to learn, I can teach you how to play.

Is PBB a strike command grab or a typical command grab?

Yare yare daze... Just teasing :p

Do you even Jam or Chipp in ACR, bro?

They're fun to watch but, at least for me personally, not fun to play.

Has Ogawa ran any sets with Woshige btw? The matchup of whoever gets knockdowned first most likely loses lol.

Going from Hakumen to Chipp is a huge jump in terms of playstyle. Fuck heart cars.

Anyone who can beat Machabo's Ky for 30 minutes straight has a power level clearly over 9000. To me, after Xrd's release, the best players are FAB (he makes DooDoo Butter Potemkin look amazing) and Ogawa. Maybe Inoue would be up there but he gets chronically bopped by Machabo. But that's just me. Before Ogawa appeared as a daredevil on Jonio's stream, everyone was wondering if Zato sucked and if he was going to be good lol. That shit died the moment he broke Nemo's will to win lol. His first sets with Nemo was the first time I saw a top Japanese player completely give up trying to beat a fellow top Japanese player lol. I actually felt bad for Nemo... HE just started throwing out random shit lol.

It means, despite her popularity, it's hard to pull out what makes her sch a great character like karinchu does/did?

Played the demo today. It's beautiful. Also it's worth noting any stun edge DC, on CH causes hard knockdown. Axl's 46 projectile almost nullifies sacred edge DC, not sure what that means, and how I should test that when the game drops. Otherwise I didn't notice anything else with Ky that is worth noting, except that greed sever is somewhat difficult to combo off of it. Oh and RTL almost blows through Ram boss mode's gamma ray super from full screen, so you could always use it as a reversal option in match when you have no health, not sure how practical that would be. It also lasts pretty long against her boss form, sword spinning super thing. In short, RTL is actually really useful. DC's really help Ky's gameplay and neutral game, it's nuts. I couldn't really test much because i was on pad sadly

Fuck Potemkin, seriously lol. Shoutouts to people thinking I don't actually meet tsundere's in real life. Thankfully not Yandere's. BTW, I'm leaving this open to anyone nwe, if you're looking to up your game in any of the anime fighters, specifically in BB or GG. Please message me, I know being new means getting bodied by old people like me, steb, rhannmah, pedro, and brice (among other old men in the scene). So if you need a "sensei" feel free to message me, I could give you coaching during casuals. I know there's a new asian Hakumen player, but I didn't see him play one match today.

3 questions: 1. Pedro, how's parking near your area? I think I might drive this time. 2. Do you think I should bring my ps3 again? 3. Why do I always meet real life tsundere's, I mean... IT'S NOT LIKE I'M INTO THEM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BAAAKAA~ ^3rd point needs to be discussed.

These discussions are what these sorts f threads are for. Ogawa was the only "futurist" when it came to Valentine, everyone else thought she was either "aight" or "meh" like bedman (no offense to bedman players). Ogawa saw the potential in her, but even he didn't predict exactly how good she would become. What you're referring to when Ogawa said that, was when Valentine was just released and people were trying to figure her out.

The fact that VR liked your post, means I don't need him to write something out either. From what I see, it feels like kudakero, really is the move Sol needed to have a better handle on the bad matchups simply brought about m character design. He has better ways of getting in now simply because of that move and a variety of ways to getting in on opponents.

Really long combos, immense corner carry from almost any hit. Much longer combos by any character in GG honestly. She also has no real glaring weaknesses especially if she can shut down Zato. JUst because a character has a high or low representation, doesn't mean they're ass. C. Viper is sparingly used in umvc3, is she as shitty as Iron Man? NO, it's because she's hard to use, who would bother using an immensely high executionary character that takes damage like wet paper, when you can do the same things she does (unrelentingly not letting you play the game) with vergil who is significantly easier to use. Case in point, Ky is A tier, do you see many Ky users, especially exceptionally good ones like how Machabo was/is with Ky on videos from technopolis, game a-cho, and mikado? No, why play Ky when you can play Sol, and probably win more? I the case of Ramlethal, people may not be comfortable with her enough yet to bring out her strengths. Or maybe they just all got bopped out during Arc Revo qualifications. Who knows, but I wouldn't use Arc Revo as a telling of character popularity. It's better to go to Xrd's arcade website and actually look at character usage: http://ggxrd.com/pg/usage_rate_view.php There it shows Ky as the second most used character. But look at that: http://ggxrd.com/pg/ranking_view.php?mode=exe&type=psr_rank Within the top 60 RR's in Xrd, there are only 3 Ky's. So in the case of Ram-chan, she might be either boring (why few top players don't play Ky) or difficult execution/skill barrier to be good with her (why most don't play Zato). Anyways, I'm still unrealistically hoping Machabo goes back to Ky in xrd.

Xrd release date: December 16 Final Exam day: December 17 Me on the 16th when the game drops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA1mbZ_MMh8

So how do you guys feel about Xrd sol compared to his AC/ACR counter parts? Particularly the NA players now that they got a taste for the game and their favorite scientist.

Only "losses" which also applies to greed sever, but stun dipper is easier to combo into itself, 3hs allows for extremely damaging hitconfirm on f.s, and durandal call. Also 2hs is jump cancellable like AC/ACR ^_^

@qwerty, yeah you're right. I just have to use better non-commital tools to shut down his air game. Anyone that zones better and has a stronger neutral than Ky, or shut down his neutral game (potemkin) are generally very bad for him. Perhaps this is why I'm so critical of how they balanced ACR compared to Xrd...

So I take back what I said about the Kliff matchup, I guess terrible lag was influencing me. But Dizzy feels as bad, if not slightly worse. then the venom matchup. She also has a french ass hitbox like her husband lol. DP's whiff on her if you go for a standard air series combo.

MM ft5 with ken and lofo. Get hype for Xrd

Yeah j.s and greed sever no longer have crossup potential. But 3hs in combos unleashes heavy damage

Fuck learming new games. Too old to have fun

Bedman's theme is awesome, his design is hella wacky, his combos and to some extent is his playstyle too, are boring as hell. He reminded me of when Bullet was first released in CP, very boring combos. I'm looking forward to his combos getting fleshed out in future iterations to make him fun to watch, like most of the other cast members.
