Eh, have some friends who are a pain to get ahold of and we figured out plans for Wednesday so unless it ends up being horribly inconvenient I'd like to have it by then. Amazon returns are pretty easy, at least.

I stopped by Gamestop on the way home, no luck. Didn't get an email though, and it looks like something's delaying the Amazon order. Guess it's time to go digital and return the Amazon order or something...

Wonder if Gamestop is going to break street date on Revelator like they did on Xrd. I'll check on the way home.

GGs to PSN/the people who played my Elph just now on PSN - whoever uses Team Spooky as their psn tag (I thought I'd seen a dustloop name at some point, might be misremembering).

What have people been using as the best antiairs for her? Her lack of a normal 6A is really messing me up. Jumping for air-to-air j.HS or j.D has a decent hitbox but lots of startup and you don't get a ton off them, c.S is good but if you time it wrong you'll get hit out of it really easily / get f.S and everything is terrible. Haven't had much luck with 2S either, hitbox seems to get beaten pretty easily but I haven't tested enough. Maybe dash-under 2D, KoF style?

Nu 5D level went up, so possible they'll cancel? It looks like it starts out at level 2 for the first sword and either decays to level 1 during end of flight or just goes to level 1 when second sword fires. Unclear.

Not getting a new thread for console like all the other subforums? Anyhow, my copy should be in tomorrow *_* Shipping takes a bit, Play-asia sent it out last night.

5A is -7...ouch.

As long as her axe is glowing (BGYR), your moves deal a little bit of blue damage. The closer to red you are, the more blue damage you deal, upping your combo damage significantly. At yellow/red you get extra untech time, but you don't lose untech time in grey or blue as far as I've noticed. Her mixup is pretty unimpressive in terms of actually opening people up (slow overhead or OMC into low for ehhh combo outside of Red, crossup j.B) but she can get serious frame advantage off of 5C, 22A/B, or 5D (but that one's got some issues). Ideally, you either catch a jump-out with 5A for a nice combo with a couple of B+D and 2C in there or get good anti-airs - her normals are big enough that she can play footsies with a lot of characters. On the other hand, against people with superior normals like Mitsuru you've got some major issues. Like Aigis, she can easily confirm into a knockdown and go low/overhead from there with a lockdown move, but she trades the extra lockdown for mixup options - as long as she's attacking she builds axe meter, and at high enough level she builds pretty good chip. The main thing is that she's got decent positioning off any hit; 5AA, 5AA with meter into 214A, 2A into sweep, AA 2B into j214B. And you can cash in yellow or red axe for a lot of damage on Beast. Thing about blue damage is important because when you land a random hit, since a fair bit of it converts to recoverable HP you need to land another hit to "stick" the damage. Not an issue in combos, but is an issue playing footsies/trying to get in when in Yellow or Red.

Been trying to pick up Labrys, just got the game. She's really weird - my main issue is that outside of Red it just seems like she gets no damage. My main issue is what to do off a hit 2A - just 2AA > Sweep? She's not that flexible in her cancels.

A-cho in video thread has a ton of Aigis play in all 3 videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_kWDlaD7iA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7zQBHDe9Zk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX_vrF2-ppE

I hear people like robots, which might explain why vid 1 in this A-Cho is like 70% Labrys vs Aigis / S.Labrys. I haven't watched the other two yet and my internet here is godawful, but there's a decent chance it's similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_kWDlaD7iA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7zQBHDe9Zk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX_vrF2-ppE
