GGXrd-R_Logo.png.14b00d1b38c308a2f5a8404In case you missed the announcement at Anime Ascension, Aksys announced that if you pre order the game for PS4 on PSN, you'll get access to a demo of the game, but they didn't mention a date... until now! Mark your calendars for April 4th!

But the demo is not just your ordinary demo - it comes with arcade mode, local versus mode, and training mode! It will have all arcade characters (sorry, no Raven, Kum Haehyun, Dizzy).

 

Do note that this offer is only for PS4 download version of the game on PSN, not disc!
Be sure to thank Aksys for giving everyone a chance to start training ahead of the game's full release on June 7th.

Today Arc System Works confirmed that BlazBlue Central Fiction's third act is releasing on the 31st of March. The Act 3 update includes the Act 3 arcade mode stories and a new single player mode in the form of "Alliance Mode". In Alliance Mode, players control a 4-character team in fights against other teams of 4. Upon defeating an enemy team, the player can trade one of their own characters for one from the defeated team to strengthen their own team.

We've been blessed with a double feature: a demonstration of Raven and Kum Haehyun featuring Ogawa, FAB, Machaboo, Mocchi, Nage, and LOX!

And if that weren't enough, they also do a regular 3v3 using their mains to boot!

As aways with pre-release events, do note the new characters are not finalized and may be different upon final release.

Dizzy is also teased with a silhouette.

Raven has been revealed to be a playable character in the console version Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator. Originally appearing as a story NPC, Raven made his debut as a playable character in Guilty Gear 2: Overture but Revelator marks the first time that he's playable in a fighting game. One of the servants of That Man, Raven is a masochist who gets stronger the more damage he takes.

Japan's famous Takadanobaba Mikado Arcade, commonly referred to as simply "Mikado," has begun a Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- league competition called Mikado Tenkaichi Budokai. The event features eight world-class Guilty Gear players who regularly play at Mikado separated into two leagues. In A League, the players are Karinchu, who has been extraordinarily dominant since Xrd's release, first with his Millia and Ramlethal, and now with Johnny; Koichi, who is known for his I-No, but has played many characters and games over the years; Nage, the best Faust in the world, famous for his trademark pink color; and mike, a former Jam player who is now considered to be the strongest Jack-O. B League features Mocchi, a former Bridget player who went by the name Mugen, now playing Sol in Xrd; Fino, who is generally considered to be the strongest Venom player; Ogawa, the famous Zato-1 main who won EVO 2015 and is argued to be the strongest Guilty Gear player in the world; and FAB, who is known for his terrifying instant blocks and for making Potemkin look like a strong character. Koichi and Fino qualified through a fan vote. mike had to win a Last Chance Qualifier to take the final spot.
Details for how and when Mikado Tenkaichi Budokai will be run can be found in this Evernote, translated by @greatfernman https://www.evernote.com/shard/s296/sh/58a711bd-c8fe-4640-a3b5-769c3bebb9e0/63ddb3aeaed72f515b57e711bc008fe6
All of Mikado Tenkaichi Budokai will be streamed over on Jonio's twitch channel. http://twitch.tv/joniosan The first match, Mocchi vs FAB FT10, has already concluded, and can be found below, and the rest of the matches will presumably be uploaded to the same channel.

While certainly unexpected, Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator will be getting quite the timely release this spring across the European territories.

Revelator will launch on June 10th 2015, 3 days after the North American release date of June 7th.

The teaser trailer for the release has been recently updated to reflect the E.U release...

 

 

 

 

Handling European publishing will be PQube; the same group who handled Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma's Europe release, and the news cannot be more sweet for European fans of the series. 
Initially reported by Rice Digital; Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator will feature 6 new characters (2 left to be revealed), and many eyes are looking to series favorite Dizzy and antagonist Raven
to make their playable debut. The title update will also offer the new "Stylish" mode control scheme - garnered towards beginner players with simplified controls; as well as significantly
upgraded graphics, a revamped online lobby system, as well as an updated continuing story mode.
 
There are tons of high level of Japanese Arcade matches available on various online media platforms, so in the interim until consumer release, be sure to check out our English and Japanese 
databases to view the action before it drops for the home market.  
Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator will be available as a cross-platform play for both the PS3 and PS4 systems.
 
Also, be sure to check out the absolutely stunning hi-res visuals for the upcoming game below in the picture gallery.

Untitled-1.png.afd8ac038395de60e1fed51caAltimor has given us quite a treat: a hitbox viewer for PC Xrd!

You can follow the latest updates on the project in the thread linked below. I've tried it and you can see the results on the left, showing the hitbox on Sol's j.K.

 

 

 

 

Keep in mind that development is ongoing and there are bugs, most notably, projectiles and throws do not show hitboxes. Regardless, this is great to see! Thank Altimor when you get the chance!

      Central Fiction Arcade Plot Discussion (spoilers)

      By Fenris · Posted

      Quite a head-scratcher. *Sighs.* The only solution to this is that Gatekeeper Es is from yet another timeline that neither contradicts her existence nor the events leading up to now (BBCF). Either this, or the grandest of all plot holes/retcon.

      Northeast PA - Scranton/WB Area - maybe you play FGs?

      By Daramue · Posted

      I don't have any offline FG friends in the area, save an asian one, so there's no way I could be either him or one of his friends, haha.  I was super into BB from CT to CSII as well but there wasn't anybody around back then, I only do what I can. Well, if you're ever in the area let me know, maybe we can get something to work out.

      Central Fiction Arcade Plot Discussion (spoilers)

      By 1337 H@x0r · Posted

      TLDR Some people need to take a chill pill, were are only dealing with speculations about a plot involving reality manipulation, time travel and interdimentional possession by disembodied souls with split personalities but they argue that theories are stupid? LOL!   I am only talking about what being the eye of Azure means and why Es was temporarily it. Es, like Mu, is an artificial human created to serve as a weapon or container for Embryo/Black Beast shenanigans but thanks to interaction with good people they developed into a full fledged person and broke a recurring loop of tragedies. Since OPFD longs for family and friends, her soul hitch hikes those bodies which come to be called the Eye of Azure. Es split like Noel into herself and Nobody, only that she was herself while OPFD was most likely Nobody and returned to Amaterasu once the was left alone in the Boundary.

      But what if this Es that appeared in Naoto Act 2 is an Es from a different possibility, like Naoto was mentioned by Relius in his Act 3? An Es that didn't have dropped the Crystal Sealing Blade: Murakumo. Correct me if I am wrong about it. I don't know much about Xblaze nor the consequences if she didn't drop the Murakumo or falling into the Boundary or anything else.

      BBCPEX Steam Frame Advantage/Startup Recorder

      By Daramue · Posted

      Thank you for this - it's allowed me to check many things I've wondered about since cpex hit. I was able to gather a lot of information using it. Furthermore it's incredible you made it so quickly. Unfortunately, I've noticed it no longer works - checking the update history it would seem the steam version of the game was updated on the 18th, and I suspect that may have caused the issue. The program launches fine, but throws an unhandled exception when either the Frame Advantage or Startup radio button is selected. Previously it would work as intended in training mode. Do you have any plans on updating it to accomodate the patch? Even if not, I greatly appreciate the work you've done thus far.
