CrimsonDisaster Report post Posted December 3, 2010 Strictly speaking, Golbez and a few other characters could do inescapable BP - BP - HP combos, but those involved dodge canceling, which is probably the hardest kind of move cancel I've ever seen (They're basically all 1-frame inputs IIRC). ⌐_⌐ they're actually incredibly easy for the most part, there aren't exactly a bunch of 1-frame anythings in Dissidia Tidus, Cloud, Zidane, Golbez, Bartz, WoL, Garland, Firion, Onion Knight, Sephiroth... pretty much every melee character has dodge cancel combos except I guess Squall and Jecht but Jecht has his own combo system and Squall has a bunch of links and he'd be even more broken if he had real dodge cancel combos instead of traps/resets. Terra/Bartz holy glitch combos are dodge cancel combos as well. Almost every character has EX cancel combos (maybe everybody but I don't remember if, say, CoD has 'em), there are lot of links in the game as well. And then there are stupid spacing/stage specific combos like Tidus wall slam combos off that ground tackle-to-kick move or Ultimecia-on-Pandemonium ceiling combos. And everybody has to dodge cancel melee stuff anyways if you don't want to get EX bursted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prinnical Shock Report post Posted December 3, 2010 There's an Arcade Mode, and a Online option for Versus mode (no levels, just default balanced move sets per character), but you don't really get to mess with move-input settings very much. That's a relief Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I just suck at using a PSP for fighters (Then again, I also couldn't do a 236 on BB Mobile, so there's that >_>). And last time I looked, most of the melee characters didn't have them listed. But it has been a very, very long time since I've looked at the Dissidia Forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pktazn Report post Posted December 8, 2010 Laguna from FFVIII confirmed to be playable character http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/5339/k203sgg2.jpg EDIT: Bigger scan if you want to read it: http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org1290191.jpg_fjCVkh9AOO4f7hGGpoNw/www.dotup.org1290191.jpg Huh... looks like there's a free-roaming overworld map if I had to go by the screenshot on the bottom left.

SoWL Report post Posted December 8, 2010 Get ready for another dose of daddy issues story... And Laguna-Ragna crossover pictures. They're simply inevitable when you have two characters with the names written in the same way (ラグナ). At least my Balphier can rest in peace, there is a worthy character to stand in his place.

SolxBaiken Report post Posted December 9, 2010 LAME of all the FF8 characters to choose from, they pick Laguna.... Also it seems there might be an actual over world with map included Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nak Report post Posted December 9, 2010 Laguna?? I rather have other character from VIII, but it's good to see some VIII love from S-E. Now i can't wait to see if any other character from VI makes the cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pktazn Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Laguna vs Lightning footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l2TPpD2EL8&feature=player_embedded#! His fighting style doesn't really fit with me but I'll try him out and his Japanese voice makes me lol. I don't like it but I don't hate it either. It's kinda meh. EDIT: Vaan vs Tifa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq8142ab3GY Tifa's more my fighting style haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
furix Report post Posted December 16, 2010 I can't help but notice the jiggle on tifa's boobs... ... .... I am using her. EDIT: I also feel like using Vaan just to troll/annoy the hell out of the FFXII/Vaan haters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aureliano Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Man fuck that "stagger contest" shit, such a worthless mechanic. Vaan looks pretty fun, Tifa kind of dull. Laguna annoying as fuck in both gameplay and voice. Lighting... par for the course, didn't really see anything really interesting about her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
furix Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Lightning is an amazing character, she looks pretty fun in Dissidia too. Seems like she is pretty good at mixing melee and magic. The stagger contest is kind of useless in most fights, since it's really easy to evade(Unless they are changing that). But, there's a few situations when it can come in handy(But not actually to try to land a hit) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aureliano Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Each time it happens I kind of just do nothing to let it run it's course so we can actually get back to the game because I find it so fucking stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
furix Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Hmmm... Well, for some characters that was one of their most reliable ways of dealing HP damage. So, not using it and not getting used to it only hurts you in the end. :/ (Since you would probably not learn to time your dodges properly when a player that really needs to land these hits uses it.)

Aureliano Report post Posted December 16, 2010 There were character differences during that ? They all looked the same and I didn't do much research I admit. Never really had a problem dodging the computer's at least, whatever the character, but maybe there's just something about it I didn't see then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesis Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Timing on those versus other players is pretty tight because of the lag between the wireless connection. It essentially becomes a mind game in the sense that it turns itself into a 50/50 that resets itself in certain situations. Also, Terra's bullshit with Holy chase into a holy hit brave attack during the chase gave her guaranteed damage. She could also time hits with brave so that directly after they dodge, the holy hits, you get sent back into the main game and Blizzard combo will combo into the holy, for more guaranteed damage and you knock them away in both instances. This was great for Terra. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonDisaster Report post Posted December 21, 2010 chase is also a way to gain a lot of EX meter which is always nice also silly chase -> do nothing -> tech trap stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FormerlyUnknown Report post Posted December 21, 2010 laguna looks like he'll be able to keep massive pressure up on his opponents with all those homeing projectiles, can't wait to get my hands on him. now I get to shout 'frag out' while playing a fighting game...

Blade Report post Posted December 21, 2010 Famitsu rumor mill says new characters will only be SNES on up (but don't necessarily include SNES) (10 max)... Basically that rules out new characters for FF1, FF2, and FF3. Near as I can tell... FF4 (Kain), FF5 (?), FF6 (?) FF7 (Tifa), FF8 (Laguna), FF9 (?) FF10 (rumored to be Yuna?), FF11 (?), FF12(Vaan) FF13 (Lightning) I know what people have said, regarding FF production, but...I still hope for Noctis showing up as Lightning's nemesis.

Hecatom Report post Posted December 21, 2010 ff5 faris seems o be a probable adition but also lenna so on this one im not sure ff6 probably locke since he was more protagonist than terra for the most part of the game, if not all the game ff9 vivi since his story was very relevant to the plot, if they want to give to the sexy element probably dagger ff11 i can see a mithra being added and for much that i would like noctis, i dont see him on this game since his game hsnt been released yet :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aureliano Report post Posted December 21, 2010 Beatrix from FF9 would be pretty boss but I don't see it happening. Also Galuf > Faris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blade Report post Posted December 21, 2010 FF5: They might give us a curveball with Krile. FF6: My vote goes to Shadow+Interceptor...that's my hope. FF9: Amaranth/Vivi/Eiko/Dagger/Steiner are all possible..Vivi's less likely due to his system being too similar to Shantotto's though I think. Steiner/Beatrix's movelists are way to similar to Cloud's I think. FF10: Yuna+Dresspheres would be epic. FF11: Hmm...Promathia? I know people say that the game's not out yet, but Versus 13 has already had some production time...so they may have locked in his movelist by now. He could serve as a promotion character too, you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drill Report post Posted December 21, 2010 I REALLY don't want Yuna for FFX. But that's only because I would rather have Auron more. As for other characters, I don't mind what we get now. I got Kain, Lightning, Laguna (which I didn't know I even wanted til I got 'im)... I'm pretty much set. Oh, and here's hoping that Emperor is just a fun in this game.
