I'm convinced that I was literally the only person before this trailer to have ever proclaimed that I wanted playable Answer, and I got my wish.

IMO, competitive Haehyun is, more often than not, a delight to watch. Thanks for the vid.

Well, what I mean is its a little premature to make assumptions about character usage and success at EVO. Recall last year's EVO where not a single Elphelt was in sight in Top 8, despite her ridiculousness. In my opinion, anything can happen dude. Not everyone plays characters based on their tier placement. The character enthusiasts (read:FAB, Zidane) will always be there, and their strong showings with such weak characters might inspire a few folks to pick up their characters. EDIT: I won't discourage you from worrying though, it guarantees you less pain, and it shows you care, and we all appreciate that.

How bout we wait until after EVO to have this discussion?

Haha, Ky with dat Jojo pose.

You're...over-reacting. We don't even have a firm hold on Kum's personality yet, and seeing as she's introduced investigating the strange Japanese disease, and the fact that Leo (proud as he is) treats her with formal respect shows pretty clearly that she's capable and independent, and apparently has quite the reputation. If all you judge a character on is how much testosterone is injected into them, I ask that you expand your horizons. Finally, May was barely even redesigned. It's just the change in graphics engine you're noticing.

It's odd to me that you wouldn't consider Kum's design 'bizarre' at least. I think this design is better than if Kum was just an old man, that's for sure.

Not 100% sure if Fan Art is the right place to post this but... Modding for Xrd on PC has finally begun. Check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pXBPWQkh90

There's the Mikado Inter Cup, I believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwTvScORldg

I'd also like to express my opinion of wanting someone else over Order Sol, but if I did that, people would jump on my ass and accuse me of being some sort of hater. But hey, he wins, I'll deal. It's only a matter of time for all the other characters. (except Kliff lol) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could be that Pachi's comments about her potential playstyle intrigued some folks.

Poor Kliff. The sheer gap between him and Justice right above him alone is kind of hilarious.

Thank you, sir! Take your time.

I eagerly await. In particular, what Pachi has to say about the Overture characters (and Fanny) and how they would play for the first time in a 2D fighting game environment interests me. EDIT: Whoops, Fanny already was in a 2D fighting game, I forgot. Still, I'm curious how they'd expand on her, if they do.

Sounds like Sol.

Spring is sooner than I was expecting. Xrd SIGN had an almost year long gap between the arcade and console release right? Looking forward to Jack-O'ing it up.

9th Sept-THAT'S TOMORROW OH SHIT. That actually took me a second to realize. Anyway, lookin' forward to Jam details.

Yeah, it's a pretty glaring bug to not fix.

But he is the same entity as Sol. Hence the second opinion. We shouldn't confuse the person's opinion on the character wth the person's opinion on his unique gameplay mechanic. Edit: I apologise, but I see less people hating on HOS and more people hating on people who genuinely don't want HOS. I just don't want to be considered an idiot for my opinion.

How similar a character is to another really depends on personal opinion. Some people think Order Sol is totally different from Sol, others think he's not different enough. Nothing's set in stone, and every opinion is valid. Now excuse me while I raise my hands and give my spirit energy for the unlikely outcome of Justice winning the poll.

Let me be another person who would rather HOS didn't get in. I mean, people want him, I can understand that and if he gets in, I'll deal. But what I'm getting from these guys is that they want a more varied roster, and they feel HOS would result in a slightly less varied roster, and I can totally get with that reason. Maybe we should let bygones be bygones and accept that some people want some characters and don't want other characters, whatever the reason may be.

So for a few months now, my artist friend (who goes by the name of Rivux, and a few others) has been holding streams where a bunch of friends request arts from him, mostly based on an RP group we're a part of, and this is what I asked him to draw. I'm not sorry. Okay...maybe a little sorry. You can find my friend's tumblr here by the way: http://seventyfivedegrees.tumblr.com/

My character favoritism tells me I want Justice to win, but my practical, gameplay favouring side wants Baiken or ABA. Either way, my wishes are pointless if I can't play the game. /sadpanda

Just have to point out that Throw Breaks and the new Blitz Shield are fairly significant system changes. It's not that much, but it ain't nothing.
