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.

That is definitely not Tahichi. The Minazuki is Shiita. The S.Yukari is Koto.

Tbh even though I could, I'm not gonna bother when we don't have 2.0. Sorry.

Arc System Works has announced the last loketest for Xrd's latest update will be held starting today, July 30th, and will last for the following week. Revelator adds returning character Johnny and newcomer Jack-O. In previous loketests, these characters didn't have voices, but now their voice actors have been revealed. Hiromi Igarashi will be playing Jack-O, and Wakamoto Norio will once again be playing Johnny. Slayer's previous CV, Iemasa Kayumi, has been replaced, as he sadly passed away last year. His new CV will be Takaya Hashi. In addition to the new characters, Revelator has some new stages and UI changes, but the game balance is supposed to remain largely the same as 1.1. This weekend will reveal whether or not that's still the case. Finally, the loketest also will include Sparring Mode as well as Episode Mode, which presumably lets arcade players experience story content from Xrd.

Combo thread has been updated FINALLY. It's missing a few things but ye it's pretty fixed up now. I'm so sorry this took so long

This only happened in NA, and it was an Atlus decision. $8 is pretty expensive but if you really want to play the character then it's not that bad.

You can't tech out of Magarula or Feather Arrow > Magarula. No tech is good if you get hit by the latter. If they use the super raw and you're grounded you can jump it and block it so low in the air that they can't use the unblockable. The timing is hard though and usually people will make sure you're in blockstun first.

I think the hitbox got nerfed a bit. I haven't played any matches yet but 5B > 6A doesn't combo on standing anymore, at least not for all characters, so it's probably been changed a bit. Edit: That could just be a 5B change though, I'm not sure. Is there a changelist anywhere?

IIRC it doesn't work on Ragna, Makoto, and one other I can't remember.

The weirdest part is that I'm in Texas, so I'm probably farther south than most of the people in that room, so you'd think we'd be able to connect.... but I guess not, unfortunately :/

GGs to the people I fought. Wish I had played a lot better but I guess it's just one of those days.

S.Ken gets to Burst "in neutral" when he goes into Shadow Frenzy off a Koromaru attack, since it doesn't technically count as a cancel, so this technique is actually used by him MORE than most other characters.

While the lowered Burst cost is definitely a good thing for S.Ken, it's not exclusive to him. Here's another example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwrf4HytdUY&feature=youtu.be&t=1h14m45s It's basically the same as jump cancel OD in BBCP. Interesting that it takes up closer to 75% than 50%, though.
