Jocelot Report post Posted September 25, 2015 Yoooooooooooooo when did Ogawa start using his Aime or whatever Arcade ranking card again? Did he start the climb again for Revelator? I remember he stopped using it early on into Vanilla Xrd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maverick Report post Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Yoooooooooooooo when did Ogawa start using his Aime or whatever Arcade ranking card again? Did he start the climb again for Revelator? I remember he stopped using it early on into Vanilla Xrd.Yeah he did along with other players like Nakamura I believe.Im gonna come out and say it because maybe its just me but...Jack-O is wack, im sorry but her dumb voice and playstyle to me is just really lame. Quite frankly they should have just made Raven playable instead of Jack-O.I never thought I would say this but I actually prefer Revelator Elphelt over Jack-O. Just my opinion maybe others feel the same, idk. Edited September 26, 2015 by maverick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my opinion maybe others feel the same, idk.You have to remember that Jack-O is a completely new character. I'm pretty sure before the console release we'll see her get some fine-tuning (Ram, Bed and Pot could use some too). Everyone isn't going to like every character. That's why we have more than one choice (really, really wish the whole original cast was already available) to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devdan Report post Posted September 26, 2015 Played with Jam a little today. She seems kind of fun, but I've never known how to play her so I dunno. It took me way too long to realize you can chain her special, lol. Thought you needed to power them up first.I feel like her qcf kick used to have a bigger hitbox, based on super casual single player play from XX through AC. In other words, I have nothing to talk about...but it whiffs an awful lot, it looks like it would have a bigger hitbox. I really liked her light blue outfit when I saw it in a screenshot but it looks little worse in person. Still ok though. I don't get it, X'rd is a great looking game but I feel like it has an awful lot of ugly palettes. Jack-O's are good at least.I'm a tool so I voted for Dizzy. I really want Zappa too, but considering how Jam wound up looking, Dizzy has more potential I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinalDoomGuy Report post Posted September 26, 2015 Good news, you don't have to play as her. That's the beauty of a fighting game.To be fair it still means you have to play against her.It's why I hope English Jam isn't garbage because listening to JP Jam gives me a headache.I'd agree that Jack-o's visual design is pretty piss-poor but her minions make up for it IMO.

TheRealBobMan Report post Posted September 26, 2015 You know, I'm pretty hyped for Jack-O, but I saw some non-loketest footage of her for the first time last night and she looks like she might be a more extreme version of Millia's "don't let the other guy play the game" style of gameplay. Looks like she has a lot going for her. Some of those things look like bugs that need to be fixed though, like being able to do her attack-throw, point it upward so that they're launched off screen, then RC into her command throw and have that actually combo despite it being like 3X the range of Sterilization Method. Or comboing into her regular or super command throw at all.Good thing they have like 6 months to figure out how they want to re-balance everyone before it hits consoles. Some characters still need love after 1.1, and Jack-O is looking kinda nuts. Getting meter for being near a Ghost is kind of a huge deal, and I'm not sure if anyone realizes just how powerful that is with Xrd's cancel system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luminos564 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 Good thing they have like 6 months to figure out how they want to re-balance everyone before it hits consoles. Some characters still need love after 1.1, and Jack-O is looking kinda nuts. Getting meter for being near a Ghost is kind of a huge deal, and I'm not sure if anyone realizes just how powerful that is with Xrd's cancel system.It is powerful, though from what I've seen Jack-O' gets pretty cornered if you can make sure her ghostly minions aren't around. Some characters have an easier time of this than others. Potemkin might be an easy target for them but someone like say Faust can straight up murder them and Jack-O' in the process from what I've seen. Then again, new character syndrome and all that rot. We'll see where she ends up 3 months from now and then console release.Also Jack-o's JP voice is pretty garbage too but it's not a dealbreaker like with Jam.Eh, at least Jack-O' has the alternate "mature" lady voice to go with her which is all kinds of vocal sexy so you can at least enjoy half of it . As for Jam, well I've lived through years of Platinum's (Luna) JP voice to the point where Jam's vocal pitch and constant "aruuuuu" might as well sound like Beethoven's 5th in comparison.

Johnny on the other hand...Millia is definitely a strong character.But she is strong because there are many Millia specialists with 10+ years of experience who managed to draw her full potential.Same thing for Johnny.Ramlathal wasn't a thing until Karinchou showed her true strength.I still think that Elphelt is the biggest problem here, no one reached her full potential.The closest player to that is Hambagu and we all saw what he did to Nakamura in TG.Also many strong teams were OCVed by her in Arc revo.Jack-O on the other hand has some really good set of moves.- meterless anti cross up reversal ( you can safe jump it but it doesn't put her in crouching or CH state like Sol,Ky)- command throw even in air.- very good set of normals - super low profile crouching state.- super crazy meter gain if she has 6 servants.Fighting her is kinda similar to fighting Zappa since you don't want the houses to reach level 3 and you don't want Zappa to get Raoh.

Zouf Report post Posted September 26, 2015 Jack-O is ok I think.I'm much more afraid of Johnny. He looks incredibly retarded (gameplay wise).It looks like once he set up his unblockable, you are done for. And it's a piece of cake to set it up.I hope this thing gets nerfed before the console release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's a piece of cake to set it up.I hope this thing gets nerfed before the console release.Johnny is really hard in this game.His combos are super character specific.Also these unblockables require alot of recourses like meter and coins. I fought alot of Johnnys and the only thing i didn't like was his backdash and it was fixed in the new version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordsman09 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 IMO, Jam's voice is MUCH WORSE now than it was before. It really shouldn't bother me though since I'm the one that's gonna be playing her.From what I've seen of Jack-O (which really isn't much), it'll be tough for characters like Leo to get in. But I really don't know what I'm talking about though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XXXDC Report post Posted September 27, 2015 I'd agree that Jack-o's visual design is pretty piss-poor but her minions make up for it IMO.I don't even like Jack-o, but would play her only because of the damn lovely ghosts and overall unorthodox fighting style (that's what made Zappa fun). Johnny's bacchus sign setups are kinda out of control from what i've seen so far (not that i've seen much).Hated Jam's voice back then in X, still hate it in Xrd.
