This topic is funny because in GGXrd casual netplay Reversals hardly matter and get punished most of the time anyway. Leo Whitefang eats reversals for breakfast, lol

Now if only we could get somebody on board for GGXrd's Japanese Database Mode Library (to compare it with how they localized it). Thanks VermillionBird for your contributions!

More like the mere mention and appearance of old vets coming out of the woodwork and dominating netplay would scare casuals, am I right? Oh yeah: Aksys says they're working with Sony to fix the DLC problem.

DLC Error Heads up guys: if you buy I-No's system voice you're getting Faust's by mistake... I think they swapped the files by accident.

In case you guys missed the Countdown...

In the end it comes down to who your opponent is, though. If they can pressure you and pressure safely without taking much risk, then you have to just figure another way out. Reversals aren't always the best way to do that anyway (BlazBlue's reversals for Ragna, Jin, and Haku-men is evidence of that).

So you can't do stuff like Ky's CSE > YRC > CSE with Negative Edge anymore, but you can still use it for Eddie... who's brain fart was this? Oh well... at least you can still machine-gun I-No's Chemical Love via YRC.

What the heck? How do you even play Eddie/Zato then?

Don't quote me on this but I think this function can be set up Online when setting up an online Event.

Couple questions since Bedman has garnered MY interest. 1. Any pointers / tips for double-jumping in combos with him? I know he's got that up and then direction thing going on... what's the timing for it in things like Dust air combos and such? For jump cancel from other air moves I mean. 2. How safe/unsafe is Bed Flip ( )? It seems to beat out a lot of things but not everything. 3. Also how safe is ( )?

According to what I heard, the GGXrd audio tracks aren't as noticeably compressed as the extra tracks, namely GG2 and GGXX songs you unlock in the game. Guess I'll just wait for GGXrd OST to come out to be sure...

I heard some rumors about the Sound quality being really bad in the Digital version of GGXrd. Does anyone who has a copy know if they reduced the music quality in the disc version or is it just the digital version that compressed the music? I heard the audio was very low quality / very 'tinny' sounding.

Just want to say, thanks for hiding Spoilers as much as possible, guys. I'll be waiting for the 16th to start talking about anything though.

If nothing else, a lot of the in-battle quotes haven't really changed much since I did my GG Quote Project translation guide, so the dub is pretty spot-on in that department. I'm giving these guys the benefit of the doubt. It's their first time doing these roles so maybe like Jin's CV in BlazBlue they'll grow in to the role better in later versions of the game. We're fortunate we had a lot of the old CVs from Accent Core come back (Slayer's CV barely made it).

Someone said Sin's Instant Kill was called "Raideen"... and I was like.... whaaaat? Yeah I'm hoping they fix that in localization. lol

For those of you actually getting the U.S. version on the 16th, BE ON HIGH ALERT! We're doing an English fan-translation of the GGXrd Countdown!

I was talking to a Bilingual Japanese friend of mine on PSN and I had a hard time explaining what "Hm?" means to them while texting... it took a while, but they got it.

I haven't heard Venom's voice yet, lots of negative feedback on it... I'd like to hear it for myself.

According to Raymond / Judgment in Guilty Gear Judgment... I-No seems to have had the power to time travel since she was a child (though how HE would know that makes no sense since that's very paradoxical since she came from the future.) Yeah, in effect, she erased Sol's past in an effort to destroy him, but he continued on as a paradox because he actively participated in her contradiction and willed himself back in to the original time frame. "That Man" and Raven helped him of course, via interrupting the time stream (because they knew Sol would be attacked) and by offering the suggestion that he had the 'will' to overcome it. (A classic case of "I think therefore I am" Past State affects Present State affects Future State, nullifying Past State). As a result... the Order-Sol from that "B Timeline" is dead and will remain dead, affecting a possible future outcome which I-No probably undid later on, same as Ky. It's sorta like Steins;Gate. It's just one of the many possibilities OF THE CONTINUUM SHIFT! (Just kidding but there's lots of those in GGXPlus and some may not necessarily be contradicted by GGXrd yet. Axl hasn't met with "That Man" yet even though Dr. Faust suggested it to him, so his encounter with Raven hasn't happened yet.) I should note that Bedman refers to Sol as "Unbreakable" which may be a reference to his ability to resist outside chronological influence... since Bedman seems to know Axl Low's purpose as the messenger for the "Original Man" and wants to kill him. So, Bedman is more dangerous than first glance would indicate.

It's a matter of culture and how Rocking Female Bosses are expressed. Japan is all about the Ice Queen Lolita. America is all about the Evil Raging Witch from Hell. Compare/Contrast the original Valentine from GG2 and her JP/US voices with something like Mu-12/Nu-13 and their voices from BBCSExtend (not Mu's CP version which is mostly all friendly lol).

Someone asked if there would be a U.S. Arcade version at all... I'm not sure if that would ever happen... just PS3/PS4, right? Anyone hear anything? (I doubt my color would ever exist... :/ )

Axl had a picture of Sol when he was a kid early on... not sure how he got it though. There's been statements (unconfirmed ones) that Axl has seen I-No among scientists... Ky suspects she is a military runaway of some kind. We still don't know the full story behind Axl or if he's been meddling in Sol's affairs or not or if he really is an old friend. I-No certainly has tried to kill Ramlethal several times it seems, but to no avail. She killed Sol and let Ky die in efforts to try and change the timeline... so far "this" is the best timeline she's made so far.. not sure how Axl will play in to all this.

Two things: One: The voice acting will probably sound better once everybody is actually GOOD at playing their characters (i.e. that Ky player sucks in the demo video). Two: Did anyone else notice Faust's VA is Kenshiro in Ken's Rage? I mean... I know Faust has an HnK reference on his chest.... but WAS HE CAST BECAUSE OF THAT???? lol (ARCSys are secretly HnK fans... that's my theory).

Still holding out for GGXrd avatars. XBone fans are gonna be jelly. :D
