^^^ wow, that sounds pretty cool!

Can't come tonight, but happy birthday nevertheless, Pedro! Have fun!

I'd just like to chime in on this You have to realize that this isn't just a BB thing, it's what Anime as a whole has become(fallen to). So yes, Ram and El were designed specifically to draw the modern Anime fans in, who need their cookie-cutter female characters. Still, I find Elphelt's design very interesting in the sense that it plays the trope completely over on its head and is very tongue-in-cheek.

Where are you getting all this information? It would be nice if a single post was made to roundup all those changes.

236b isn't hard knockdown anymore on air hits

Acho posts GGXrd videos in 720p, but their capture material isn't a 720p throughput. Still, their videos are pretty much the highest video quality you'll get, example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe6DVAwneWU otherwise, you'll just have to wait for console release on december 4th for quality video.

here's something on-topic : is tension pulse still a thing?

why are you getting angry over a party game?

yes, it seems like strike fall has a very small ground bounce

[Xrd] News & (Theoretical) Gameplay Discussion (emphasis on "Theoretical" mine) That said, I think you guys (the moderators team) should think about having general discussion threads again. There is a clear need for this kind of discussion and right now, it just ends up bleeding everywhere else, clutting gameplay and news threads making it extremely difficult to find relevant information about the game(s). I know these threads have their problems, but i think it might be better to deal with those posts by having a single place where those are allowed, leaving every other thread ripe for relevant discussion about the games themselves. Just my 2c

236b got faster because 5b > 236b works at all ranges and all situations (standing, crouching, etc) also, 623b > 214b >623b certainly doesn't work anymore that stupid restriction on sonic saber after 214c seems to be gone I suspect that 6a doesn't have any armor on it anymore

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24660594 Very good rundown of Rachel's changes

I guess that makes sense, since

Why are people so fucking butthurt over a stupid demo? Can we stop talking about the demo already? It's uninteresting and clutters the GAMEPLAY thread. Healthy reminder that the game will be out in less than two months. I know people get excited, but this is getting ridiculous.

This sounds like a whole lot of awesome. It seemed to me that damage was lower in normal mode than before, but i'm not sure. I wish i could watch TRF's timeshifted stream, why do you have to be dicks, niconico?

There was a nico stream late at night where a Izayoi was rolling on everyone. Had to go to sleep, but here's some things I garnered from those matches: Her DP is most probably not teleport cancellable and has increased recovery, launches backwards and not as high Her teleports seem to be faster; at least the B one since 5B > 5C > 236B > 214B > 2A is possible In overdrive mode, her valkyrie astraea does like 3 hits while going all over the place and her OD combos look like utter badass She seems a bit faster in general, but choppy, low framerate video can give a distorted impression

some 2.0 streams https://twitter.com/Furious_blog/status/520066875883937792

Man, they FINALLY made Bang's bumpers useful! Took long enough.

Considering aegis blade has a lot more recovery now, i'm guessing it can't be teleport canceled. I assume trans-am uses up all remaining stocks up to 4. Strike fall also seems to be somewhat hard knockdown, but very short? Valkyrie astraea still seems comboable midscreen. Need more info, the two matches that were shown don't reveal much of what's new.

Guard points are extremely scary, since now Tager isn't free on pressure anymore in OD. You'll have to back off or risk getting obliterated. 360B into spark bolt for a 5000+ dmg combo is incredibly scary. Corner combo for free, possible to go straight into 5D at 23f startup. At worst, if you want oki, you can 2D to get yourself closer, and if you have the necessary resources it's going to be more damage than genesic emerald tager buster. Judging from the video, since spark bolt is 13f startup and 5C is 15, it miiight be possible to hit with 5C at that distance, but i'm not a Tager player. Although, looking at the combo routes used, it might be that 360B is a short starter. Tager players, help!

Are they specifically mentioning 5B? That would seem like a mistake, because Rachel's 5B has been jump cancellable on hit and block since, well, forever. 4B jump cancellable on hit or block is definitely new though. Not the nails, the bumpers. there's only 3 bumper placement in the air above head now, all at the same level but at different distances; the 4th one gets positioned at torso level, right in front of you.

That's a valid point, but if you look at magic the gathering, a game where new cards are released 4 times a year, spoilers are extremely important and keep people talking about the game during low season. The complete lack of information makes people disinterested. They have nothing to talk about. Actually, the best formula would be a gameplay changes spoiler season where a trickle of information is released every day so that people keep interest. Having just a bit of information released regularly will give fans things to talk about and generate interest about the game. Edit: anyways, this isn't really gameplay related so let's not keep this conversation going for long. But that's just the thing; we have no gameplay details to talk about so these threads get derailed. Oh, how we've come full circle.

There is absolutely no word on anything about anything. One week before release and we still don't have a word from ArcSys on the finalized changes. This is so annoying, I wish they were better at public relations. The latest info is from the loketest from august, and I would be surprised if nothing has changed since then

you can do overdrive while blocking, like marvel 3's x-factor
