I doubt it, GS has the LE scheduled for the 16th. I picked up my copy early today as well. PS4 is up and running too, haven't tried any online vs obviously. [edit] The article a bud linked me to earlier. http://shoryuken.com/2014/12/10/how-i-got-guilty-gear-xrd-sign-a-week-early-and-you-can-too/

Errors like that can also be caused by a myriad of problems, two of which follow. Bad RAM management: I highly doubt this is the case as we've not seen this happen before with Arc as I'm aware but all the signs are pretty much there that Xrd has "RAM Issues" as a lot of the problems are fixed by a simple restart. I do not know programming but I've become very familiar with this sort of error in the past due to the different games I've seen it in (old Armored Core titles were actually notorious for similar problems). To add to this possibility it is a new engine UE3 iirc? That the game is built in, which this may simply stem from Arc not having experience in dealing with the engine and its nuances. The second Yukikaze covered to an extent: It can also be caused by a faulty read from disk or even a corrupted file (far more rare than it sounds). This problem is also often solved in the same manner as above though is far more easily recreated. If we can regularly produce this problem, it leads me to believe this is the case. (I also make mistakes and am not a programmer so don't eat me alive if i'm mistaken)

While I don't have hands on GG yet I'm willing to bet that the "bars accuracy" is about as bad as any other game that treats latency with "bars" and not the actual latency numbers. I won't know in GG how this will affect me but in BB i had games with zero bars that were fine and games with 4 bars that were laggy as hell. No idea why.

I was raging at a delayed UPS delivery till I saw this post. My heart sank. "Damn" covers that feeling pretty well.

If not getting library mode is what gets us the game stateside 2 weeks after the release in japan i'll gladly take the loss. Biggest grype I had in the Blazblue series was having the hugely staggered releases. If we're lucky maybe the'll translate it down the road and patch it in when or if it becomes convenient?

White Man, I would DIE laughing... so needs to happen.

I remember reading somewhere that the PS3 version was the "arcade port" and that the PS4 version had upscaled graphics.

Make sure to post about how that stick treats you, I'm going to need a good PS4 stick myself and have been eyeing it up as well.

Like father like son? Sorry the parallels are killing my sides.

A note about Xrds popularity withiny small local guys. Most are mk / sf players but all have been accepting of xrd die to its availability and my pitches of it being a very solid title. My online few Bb players are also looking forward to the title specifically a guy I sparred with regularly who cannot wait for Potempkin. (This will be his first gig experience.) I think things are looking good already despite whatever coverage the game has or has not received.

Torn between Haz and Plat but lately i've had a LOT better luck with the latter. Kinda sad I character shop so often. At least I was able to stick with Hazama for a good run. Tried Relius until my bro's Arakune destroyed those dreams before they began.

Lag only bothers me when I feel it would cost me the match... at least at my bro's where my connection is good. My only real issue with online play is people NOT communicating. I haven't had a lot of time to put into BB since a year or more ago and i've come back to learning Rachel and Valk (i still suck). But when i run into fantastic players who completely destroy me. I get no responses to my messages, or I get kicked from the lobby. Kicked I understand. After about two or three rounds yeah I should look elsewhere. But when I see someone annihilate me or some other player with a character I'm interested in using then send them something along the lines of. "Holy crap great (insert character here), any advice or tech for a rookie (character) player?" I get mostly no response, occasionally a few GG's or thanks for complementing their skill but often times the simple help a small message could give is sometimes insanely helpful, especially on the spot. I miss that sort of assistance.

Well when your away a while things change I guess. I really haven't touched this game since early this year but WHAM inexplicably my bro busts out with "Im sick of team games where I lose because of other people..." BAM Snagged him a copy of extend for his 360 for dirt. Hated himself almost instantly but he's doomed to play Arakune. I mention this because in my absence and lack of play time due to other requirements / life / blah I've lost most of my skills with any character I used... Once again i go shopping and find I finally have the execution to actually do Rachel combo's... (Imagine my surprise, a character i've wanted to play since CT). I'm still horrible at using her properly in vs and I'm also still pretty meh at the game in general but it's bound to get better with time. Proof positive it may take a long time to understand a concept but once you have it there's something you can do. good to be back on dustloop as well.

Well I wouldn't say GGXXAC+R is "right around the corner" but hey i'll take what I can get. Finally have an easy medium to get my favorite character back and see if she still fits my style of play.

If your a looser like me you can also input a 2626 motion for Houtenjin. Im using a stick so no idea if its like 23626B or what but its pretty quick.

Without sounding too much like a horrible Zombieland quote. I want my Dizzy back! Great news. Absolutely great.

Blazblue caught me way off guard for characters. Being a GG Dizzy main I searched for her mirror as closely as I could but finaly came to the realization it wasn't going to happen. Two months of trying to learn Rachel and her shenanigans in CT with only mediocre results if any and very clumsy combat made me drop her in favor of Bang. To me at the time Bang had everything, Nail bumpers, simple combos and a very distinct playstyle. All this was destroyed by CS when I watched the first Zakiyama Hazama video. Instant block to Houtenjin... Sold. After I picked up CS and got comfortable with Hazama I made sure to play through the story on my bad days. Little did I know how much I'd like an hoenst "bad guy" character. Apparently style does matter.

I just wanted to say I appreciate the thread and information guys. Thank you.

Honestly ill take it. This whole no 360 american release took my heart and made a smoothie out of it. Atleast this playasia and ESRB stuff has given me part of it back.

Even with the FC imhaving trouble with the transition after 623D. i catch them just fine either way up till there when my timings proper Just how tight is that?

Played more than a few of them and what i find to be effective, granted i suck at doing so, is offensive defense. Get in her face at all costs early on then stay there. If you know your gonna be unsafe don't stick your neck out. If she runs shes vulnerable unless stein covered which if your in her face shouldn't be out. Ive tried to play defensive etc: i get Stein spammed and if i do the zoner thing i get out zoned. Again im clearly no master player but for some screwed up reason extremely well applied agression seems to work.

Sorry BO, thats more of a product of fighting people who attack as soon as possible after your 3C.

Not to poke my nose where its not wanted but no matter who's decision it is, it needs to happen in the worst way imagineable.
