klaww

the dustloop article mentions that no end time was stated.

see, these guys are the guys I play at least twice a week so they know my play inside and out. If i would've recorded matches of like 2 weeks ago, you'd probably say I 5D too much, as they said "I don't even react to your dust anymore, I just know it's coming", so I was playing with GS as you can do it at different points. (i wish i had my tournament matches from EVO, i feel like those would be the best indicator) I definitely need to be more conscious of what I'm ending my strings with, I've always just hated ending it without some kind of mix up, but since I am playing Ky, i suppose that it is natural that i don't. thanks for the little feedback though! I appreciate it!

I feel like I've leveled up a lot, especially after attending EVO, but there is still miles of room for improvement. I know a few areas i need to work on, pressure being a big one, but not exactly what I need to be doing instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmX6QMezYC8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftOHxiyr7pc These are both just local matches that I recorded. I feel a LOT better about how I did against the Ram, but critique is very welcome on either.

Eh, I'm not too worried about not making it on PS3. The only reason it was kinda hard to get it on PS3 was because it could hardly handle the graphics output. So just adding new characters and making the filesize bigger, generally, shouldn't add much more difficulty to the port. Also Team Red could be better about characters per update, also this update could just generally be "add more characters" since Daisuke said he only pushed out Xrd with fewer characters to get it out sooner, so he may be trying to get as many characters as they can out.

In Circuitous' note on BS invul, it is most definitely not that invincible. You can not blitz shield multi hitting projectiles, I have tested Ky's CSE and Leos projectile, and both of those are no gos. As well as blitzshielding a Ram sword on wake up and getting hit by her almost simultaneous attack.

I second this. Her anti-airs aren't that great, but she fits everything else to a T. While i'm here, might as well ask a little something for myself: I know the game is not out yet, so nothing is definite, but I'm not certain who to play in Xrd. I like what i've seen of Sin so far, but I'd like to have a back up that i can watch match footage of and stuff in case I don't like him. I play Junpei in P4, Linne in UNIEL, Valentine/Fillia in SG, and I played Baiken (never very well though). I'm really open minded, and would be willing to play anyone in the cast, but not really sure who would fit my playstyle, or I would feel the most comfortable with. maybe faust? idk. also have no idea who i might want to play if i ever play BB.

yeah, it seems as much. Im just saying it looks odd that his defining mechanic is going to see less use. I am 100% okay with it though! I'm just gonna keep any negative opinions until I have the update in my hands and I can test stuff.

huh. that's an....interesting Junpei change. if he can do slightly better combos without victory cry, i'm for it. However, in the interest of him having an interesting unique mechanic, that seems really counter-intuitive. I'm very okay with faster normals, though.

My friend showed me this combo, and i found a cool thing you can do with it: (Corner, VC) 5AA > 2C > 5C > j.B CL > j.236B CL > 5B CL > hop > j.B CL > 214A CL > BD CL > 214B CL > 5D With this combo, where Junpei is after pressing 5D, you can jump straight up, and do a j.2A and it'll be spaced so that it hits as a low. This also knocks them up and Tris will still be out, in which you can get a 5B CL and continue the combo from there.

Awesome! Glad you confirmed the dates this early so people such as myself can request days off way in advance. Also, assuming this is the right hotel, you might want to edit in a link right under the name for convenience. http://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/northbrook/chinr/hoteldetail

As a ~somewhat~ new to fighting game player, I thought it was gonna be really hard, but it's not too bad. Yeah, they only work in combos, because their purpose is to help extend combos.

^ you right, though. I'm kind of a newbie, and i can already tell I'm gonna have to put a lot of work into him. And who cares about tiers? this is the most fun i've ever had playing a fighting game :3
