Did anyone figure out if it's possible to change the "TOURNAMENT" to whatever you want on the arena stage like in arcade? Is that even possible on console?

The actual release date is the 4th, so we'll end up playing sometime on the 3rd.

Are you below 30% health? If you're not paying attention to your health when you do it, you'll probably get nothing/veil off trying to do it.

How do you know they're taking it as a rage quit? Some people just hop into a lobby, play one match then leave, etc. I haven't really noticed a difference when I play people and skip through the victory dialogue.

Highest I've seen is 7k with Yuzuriha. http://youtu.be/uN9YN6HvhiQ?t=6m17s Of course, it's not at all practical.

After you block the first hit, just hold the shield button, and you should shield the next two hits, as long as those two hits don't shield break you.

You may have missed my edit, but wake up and block is a really good option. Mixing up teching, delay tech, and standard getup to get people to mistime their meaties can also be a good way to get in.

How are you getting blown up in neutral? I haven't had problems with my normals coming out in neutral, although you might be getting stuffed with meaties/frame traps in defense which may feel like your normals aren't coming out. EDIT: Just saw your latest post. Don't try to spam your way out of wakeup, you'll get stuffed most of the time. Gordeau's only invulnerable stuff (Ex Grim Reaper/Ex Assimilation) is easily punishable. Just wakeup blocking, and wait for the blockstring to end and go back to neutral. I find it's hard to immediately change momentum in a match.

You can always just send a message through PSN. I haven't figured out how to actually write in chat.

Chaos definitely has some similarities with Carl, but Carl definitely has more tricky stuff up his sleeve. Also you'll probably have to deal with playing a "low tier" character, as the general consensus is that Chaos might be the worst character in the game. If you want someone that can do rushdown alongside some zoning, I might recommend trying Nanase.

Yeah it definitely can get confusing if you switch sides and aren't sure if you have vorpal or not. I guess it's just something you have to get used to.

It reduces blockstun, gives you GRD, takes away GRD from your opponent, and acts like a pushblock. If you shield wrong though, you get GRD broken, so you can't get vorpal and you lose your D button for a short period of time.

From what I've heard, the trick is to do the dp motion when you see the green glow of the tech appear, and press the button once you land to do a frame 1 reversal.

Hyde's not amazing, but I don't think he's bottom tier. You definitely need to be using 22A/B for footsies, as everything else doesn't really have enough range.

Is there a way to change the CPU difficulty? I didn't find anything in the options menu, although I might have missed it.
