Probably not the best place to ask this but apparently there is a mod on PC BBCF that allows you to change the stages for the game or was custom DLC provided to have backgrounds from other Arc games? I saw someone streaming the game that had the Persona 4 Ultimax backgrounds while fighting. Unless I didn't know about this as a normal stage in this game. Any insight on this is appreciated as I haven't seen this anywhere before on the net.

Made a handful of combo videos for Rev 2 from the demo for May, Potemkin, Answer, Baiken and Jam. Enjoy!

Digital upgrade is $20, not $15. I believe the upgrade will add any missing characters from Rev 1 but don't quote me on this as there is no direct confirmation. As for the trophies, I believe Aksys Games said they are not sure if they carry over. More than likely they would in my opinion but take that with a grain of salt.

I'd like for Force Break moves to come back as long as they balance it right. I felt Accent Core + got a little too BS at times because of a lot of the loops that existed due to the changed system. I wonder if they would ever make throws a 2 button press instead of forward + HS so you have a throw wiff animation. I think that would be a good change of pace to make throws a little more difficult to land with actual throw breaks (not pseudo throw breaks which only occur when both players throw at the same time, maybe make the window 2-3 frames). Sometimes the whole air throw using as an anti air seems kind of silly because of the huge vacuum grab box. Also, would having ground wake up options such as delayed wake up, tech roll, etc be detrimental for the game? Lastly, I think all supers should be burst enhancable (not just cinematic). Burst supers should have a newer/updated animations/cutscene to make them look more devastating. A nice added touch imo. Any thoughts?

Just played online for PC and it seems the same people from PS4 are playing. Just people bodying everyone in the rooms and taking off. Sigh. This game is serious cancer. My like for this game has been slowly turning into strong dislike. At least with Guilty Gear Xrd, I feel it isn't just a lop sided fuck fest.

If anything, most "tourney" players want their games to be unbalanced so they can maintain control. God forbid we have balance in fighting games. Apparently, people like seeing the same characters/players always win so those people keep racking in those earnings, no one challenges their throne and maintain those easy wins. Take away that advantage and people call foul. Most games on main EVO stage are pretty unbalanced overall (blazblue, marvel, smash bros, etc). If you don't have some dishonest/lockdown gimmick to keep your character ahead, you probably won't get far at all. Granted, yes anything goes that is in the game and it does come down to skill as well but broken characters pushes the win in that direction. When it comes to playing strictly to win, it's all about playing odds in your favor and nothing more. Please note that I'm all for character/game balance to keep the variety healthy and things interesting and not fall into the victim pit of the "meta" play where only select characters will always be used in tournaments which BlazBlue is definitely plagued with.

Unfortunately, this is not true for PC. PC will not be coming out same day as PS4/PS3. They said unknown release date at this time. Same article has confirmed this. I have a feeling best case scenario it's coming to PC same time as the US version for console or it's going to be delayed for a month from the US version. Sigh, Arc System Works. Getting PC peeps hopes up. Hopefully it's just a small wait.

Does anyone know if any high resolution images of the characters exist for their artwork portraits in GGXrd Rev? Particularly the newer characters (Dizzy, Raven, Kum, etc). I can't seem to find anything above 600 x 500 resolution which is terrible for wallpapers. Any help would be appreciated. Also, thanks for that font and render images. Also, that Jam statues is mine day 1 :P. P.S. Actually, The official console web site has some good sized images. I'll have to trim the red outlining on it to have a good sized image. If anyone has any larger or clean high resolution images of all the character artwork specifically from Revelator, please let me know on this topic. Thanks! Dizzy cleaned up image:

Jam seems about the same. Slight damage buffs. Slighter faster charges on cards. Extended frames on her fireball + slash move (extended input on follow ups I believe). Other than that, just that dumb loop which honestly looks like a total mistake of a glitch. That doesn't look intentional at all.

This is definitely a glitch. Seems like this is unintentional. But it isn't hard to get out of, just shield block it. Will push Jam away after 1 loop of it. If you just sit there, block normally and take it, yes you will get locked down and your guard meter will max out. Keep in mind this forward kick + HS loop does not combo. I tried even with opponent ducking and it doesn't connect. This doesn't have that much utility. I main Jam trust me. But this should be removed though. You should be limit to 1 of this loop max.

Love how people are getting so pissed that the top tier characters got nerfed. It was coming and it was justifiable. If you have to actually try with your character, seriously don't bitch. >.>. That just shows laziness and ignorance if you think nothing is wrong with how it was before. In the end, majority of people just want easy wins and all the benefits of winning without having to experience the hardship of losing or effort.

Also, yes Akira is a god in tier but Akira isn't easy mode to play. Huge difference between Akira and for example Elphelt. Akira takes a ridiculous amount of effort and skill to play. He's not easy mode wins. That's probably why so few are amazing with him. Where as Elphelt, you have 100s or 1000s of good Elphelts which is easy mode wins. Saying you're good with Elphelt isn't the same as being good with Akira. That's probably why the Japanese look down on Elphelt so much cause of how little effort she takes to win.

The execution in VF imo is the highest of any fighting game. So many strict timing moves and combos. It's very difficult. That's probbaly one of the biggest reasons it's not that popular. You can't really button mash in VF (unless you use the monk).

I can't really agree with people saying "Every character is strong". If that was true, we'd see every character place high in tournaments and it would vary, not be consistently the same 4-5 characters out of 20. I bet you'll NEVER see a Jam player win a GGXrd Rev tournament, that's for sure. Not saying the game has to be perfectly balanced because that is impossible to achieve but try to get it to where it is fairly respectable in range. When you start seeing 9-1 and 8-2 match ups, I start to question balance. GG is more balanced than a lot of other games. I will give it that but it's far from ideally balanced.

I will say that one positive out of using a low tier character. It is satisfying winning with them due to the amount of effort that is needed.

From my experience, more broken seems to generate more popularity. People like broken. Marvel, SF, etc are perfect examples of this. The more balanced it is, less people seem to like it. Look at Virtua Fighter which is one of the most balanced fighting games...no one plays it. I tend to like games with a lot of creative freedom which is why I like air dashers as I feel they do this the best. But sometimes too much freedom can cause problems. Marvel is an example of that. Too much freedom and little to no limitations. Then you got the other end of the spectrum where it's too limited freedom and few options (i.e. SF). Arc System Works is notorious for balancing. Seems every iteration of a game comes down to "which characters are the broken flavor of the month". They nerf/balance characters sometimes so badly that they become unplayable. This is especially noted with BlazBlue. Then you got those people who jump that flavor of the month because easy wins/OP. Those type of players I think are extremely toxic to a fighting game. It's not about playing the game, it's about winning and nothing else. That's just my 2 cents.

Netcode is amazing. By far, the best netcode to date for anime fighters imo.

Based on that, it sounds like maybe we will get Dizzy free for 2 weeks? Maybe all future DLC characters will be free for 2 weeks on initial release? That would be cool. I still want a free DLC patch for reintroducing the English VOs. That would be extra sweet. >.>

Still nothing from Aksys or Arc about the US exclusive bonus. It's already past release and Aksys won't respond to my tweets. Really getting irritated about this. Don't promise something special and then don't say anything further for over a month. Bad form.

I honestly think this would be super levels of awesome if the announcement was: 1) US is getting an English dub release patch 2) We will get Dizzy DLC free as well for 2 weeks. That would make for an epic announcement but that's probably asking for too much.

God, still no announcement from Aksys Games about the NA exclusive bonus for this game? Only 4 days away and they still haven't said anything about it. What gives?

I'm pretty heart broken to hear them remove the English dub from GGXrd completely. That really makes me sad. I was looking forward to the new character voices. English Dizzy for example was pretty good in Sign story line. Now we'll never hear it. Also, this is just a prelude of things to come. Next, BBCF will get the dub removed probably as well and BB's dub imo is exceptionally good. Not cool Arc System Works. I'd pay to have an English dub for DLC at this point.

Apparently, the US/European releases of GGXRD Rev will not contain English audio tracks as well. Seems this is strictly a Japanese language release with English subtitles. This is just hearsay from other forum sources as someone stated that Aksys Games confirmed as such in a message. Trying to get information out of them at the moment but nothing is being stated. More than likely going to need to wait 2 weeks to find out but this seems very plausible. Back to the way the old GG games were.

Hope it's not going to be this: Here is your exclusive NA bonus...Dual Language VA Japanese/English. That would be pretty lame. >.>

Yep, there it is. Thanks :P http://www.siliconera.com/2016/04/13/guilty-gear-xrd-revelators-latest-screenshots-show-story-dojo-modes/
