  1. You know I'm curious... how can they say stuff is a "bug" when people haven't even played the loketest yet? I mean yeah, I get that they catch stuff before the Crunch date, but still... why list stuff that people haven't seen yet as a bug?
  2. Projectiles by themselves (without any meter use) are still moderately risky, that's why they need the YRC/PRC in the first place to make it less of a risk. That's why I said they don't give much advantage on their own, because without the YRC you still have recovery to deal with. Even something like Ky's normal Stun Edge has a unique YRC window because of that.
  3. The general rule seems to be: ---If it's a move that isn't very safe and doesn't give much in the way of advantage, it gets a YRC/PRC. [Projectiles, etc] ---If it's a move that helps a character in a big way or can be taken advantage of/abused, it is RC/PRC only. [Mist Finer on Block?] ---If it's a DP with invulnerability frames, it only gets an RC on block. [Grand Viper/Volcanic Viper]
  4. All this HOS talk is making me long for the days of GGX "Hunched Over" Robo-Ky. Faster, stronger, stutters more than #Reload... I guess Sin is okay as a substitute for that "style" though... still not quite the same though. Of course, I was a fan of Justice back when she was broken in GG1, so I honestly don't care what anyone thinks so long as everyone gets playable (I especially am looking forward to "new" characters).
  5. Comparing it to Danger Time isn't something I'd agree with because, in a situation like that, so long as: 1. Both players have 1 HP left or enough to die from. 2. Both players do an attack that "could hit" or wiffs. They could do that "camera wiffing" crap all day until the clock runs out, so long as both attacks wiff. Danger Time itself is random and only happens once per match now (which means you only have 1 opportunity to take advantage of it)... For this I could see this happening over and over in the right conditions.
  6. It's too bad they didn't set up a voting system for vanilla Xrd online, instead of just featuring it in the Arcades only, it would certainly have been more accurate to what people want (though to be honest I'm sick of all the Waifu voters, GG isn't just about hot chicks with boobs... the 'triumvirate' of fanart being Dizzy, Baiken, and Millia usually). I just wish voters would vote not based on "appearance" but also gameplay potential and story potential... Well, anyway... despite her being "Fanservice", I haven't seen Jack-O's Story Episode (with English subtitles) yet... does anyone have a link to it on Youtube?
  7. ^That poll was fan-made just as much as mine was. >_>
  8. I'm actually more surprised that Justice got as many votes as she did. Also, bonus points for whomever voted for the Burger Sheriff~!
  9. @Devdan: Remember the days when the A.I. spammed Slashback on every attack you did? On a more GGXrd note, A.I. Millia is hard to block no matter what she does, best to jump (or jump behind her) and avoid her rushdown completely. Though, to be fair, the A.I., for all it's offense, barely understands the concept of distance so you'll see dumb stuff like Potemkin spamming Slide Head, Entering IK Mode, and then doing the IK and wiffing a full screen away. Oh yeah, and once the A.I. is set on something, it's not too bright and gets way too predictable, like A.I. Bedman... ugh, how many times have I Blitzed Bedflop and he never learns? Other stupid things: Sol will always go for Riot Stamp at full screen distance (I kid you not, it's dumb and I feel dumb for getting punished by it sometimes). Also A.I. Sol DPs everything, rain or shine, whether you're angry or sad, whether you were smiling before or because you threw a jab half a screen away. Yeah, aside from online, I train against the A.I. way too much because FOREVER ALONE. ORZ In other news, I posted these results from a Tumblr poll about who people want for Revelator.
  10. With model figures like that, I'm not sure if they are mass-produced for sale and might be something sold at the sole discretion of the artist. I do know ARC System Works has an official merch store, but they don't sell figures like that there.
  11. They said you have to clear some "Quests" and earn "World Dollars" (same as M.O.M. I guess), not sure if you can vote more than once or how long the voting window is open for. On another note, I seem to recall someone mentioning Jack-O's Instant Kill being a reference to Helloween. Guess what else it references?
  12. Have you tried looking at online specialty shops? Or does Korea ban access to places like Amazon.jp and Ebay?
  13. I was referring to this one. (This artwork doesn't do the jacket justice though...) Yes, in Story Mode.
  14. Given how much pressure Jack-O's servants do to you at level 3, I don't think players could live without a charged Blitzshield under all that short of a DP like Sol has. Will be interesting to see more players use it (i.e. Bedman, Ky, Potemkin, etc). Still unfortunate that stuff like Sacred Edge and Hemi Jack can't be Burst enhanced. And yeah, I'd love to see the new colors for everyone, they look a lot better than the first batch, aside from the Tron color DLCs (and Christmas colors only stay interesting once a year to be honest). Chipp could certainly stand to get some good colors imho. Also, seeing I-No in her new jacket+shades makes me hope everyone gets an alternate costume at some point... Sol can't wear short sleeves forever (man I miss his GG2 Jacket).
  15. Just to mention, Fanny had a fanbase back in the GGX years as I recall. Her fighting style was an expy of Faust's but, if they did add her to the list, she'd probably have to get a new style from the ground up. Unfortunate that Tyr and Mizuha didn't make the list. Tyr would've been badass, since he nullifies magic and is all about absorbing projectiles in to making a big one of his own. Judgement too, even though he died (heck, we might as well include all dead characters what with this resurrection gimmick Justice is on). Edit: Do you guys know if Burst works with only "some" Overdrives, or all of them? I'm just wondering what would happen if Sol used his "Burst" while activating Dragon Install for example? Or what would happen to Bedman's Hemi Jack?
  16. Regardless, only people who play the arcades in Japan can probably vote. Also there is no mention of GG2 characters either.
  17. That's a weird reference to something but I can't put my finger on it. Yatterman maybe? Gulliver's Travels? Gunbuster?
  18. As someone who always liked the roster regardless of who was in it, regardless of what mechanics or changes it had... I don't particularly care much about what anyone thinks about one character or another. To me it's not even about looking forward to having one favorite character to use. To me it's about having ALL my favorite GG characters to use! (Haters can go Hate elsewhere). Oh sure, we might never see Fanny, Mizuha, or Tyr (or even Geena she was hawt), but it's the world they live in, it's the characters that are created and born in Guilty Gear that I fancy. It's that Rockin' Style that I prefer in general, over the miscellaneous SF and KOF boxing clones I see year in and year out. I just like the roster as a whole and the potential variety it brings to the table (even when characters come across as annoying types). Any day a new character or returning character is announced is like Christmas for me! Those of you going back to Street Fighter... buh-byeeeee! I don't think you'll be missed much. *waves*
  19. For the record, I'm not hating on Bridget, I'm hating on the heathens that don't know where he came from or how he plays.
  20. I said it before, I'll say it again, the reason Bridget was popular with mainstream people was because people loved giggling about him on 4chan and the like... they knew NOTHING NADA ZILCH ZERO about Guilty Gear itself! In fact if you go on some fanime sites, people will often talk about their favorite characters but if you asked them if they ever PLAYED AS SAID CHARACTERS or even UNDERSTOOD the STORY behind said characters, they couldn't answer you either of those questions. It's sad, it's pathetic, it's MAINSTREAM. That said, Bridget is not as popular in the Arcade scene as people are painting him to be.
  21. I'll definitely be taking my poll results in to consideration to get some idea of what people are thinking. Still, like I said, this isn't the last GG, so even if you don't get what you were hoping for in this particular "election", there's always the sequel to Revelator to think about.
  22. Disseminating information isn't the same as ingraining it. Unless you can download martial arts into your brain ala The Matrix.
  23. While you do have a point, I still think we should have "some" say in the matter since we're consumers too. That said, I made a poll, just to page what people think.
  24. If it were me I'd probably vote for a GG2 character, just for a little variety's sake. Though, frankly speaking there's Testament and A.B.A. and they have a decent following too. Though the ton of Baiken fanart out there tends to tell me it might come down to her.
  25. Again, like I said, Mainstreamers (people who don't know about GG) got to vote in that particular poll. People who actually play the game will not be so merciful to Bridget.
