I'm pretty sure that was the intent of the speed change but I haven't messed with it enough to see if there are still specific distances where it can gently caress up. Any less chances it has are good though, because that poo poo was dumbbbbb. The max distance increase seems small but it may actually help him out a little bit in places.

Sounds like you can use charged FDB to 'fix' some high starter 6K combos which has some interesting potential for damage optimization.

I was surprised by this but I'm really digging Baiken a lot more than Answer so far in practice. Her normals and her combo flow feel very solid and are visually satisfying.

So then get one, so that not only can you enjoy the games early and on their development platforms but you can take it to locals and tournies and contribute. Everyone wins!

GodPress on Youtube is putting together some good Answer videos, although a couple of the combos I've seen are transcribed incorrectly so be sure to fact check with the videos themselves:

Those 6K XX 214P combos in one of those Answer videos I linked seem really strong. 200 damage on Sol off the c.S(1) starter and 190 off c.S(3) starter that doesn't require dash momentum to land the 2H j.H variant. 123 damage off the highly prorated 2K starter is even pretty nice.

HOS. There's a lot to go over with him, but long story short, he got a lot of mileage out of 25 meter options, especially in blockstrings and combos. And even if he could, say, use YRCs the same way he used FRCs, just the flash would hurt his gameplan.

The one benefit he'd get would be slowdown also slowing his gauge drain speed, but that wouldn't really make up for the other things.

Nobody expected Answer to be put in as a playable character, so what other characters with models could be put in? Paradigm? Gabriel? Chronus? That one fat kid that bullies Robo-Ky???

Besides two more characters, are there any other differences we know of? I was looking at a combo video of the old mad/robot with the Korean name, and he was doing some sort of blue light kick that wall-bounced his opponent. I can't get my blue light kick to do this. Is this a change from rev 1 or am I missing something?

There are lots of character changes and a small number of system changes for Rev2. There were 3 location tests for Rev2 and the third test didn't have any patch notes available so here's a translation of the 2nd location test's changes: http://shoryuken.com/2017/02/10/translated-changes-for-the-second-guilty-gear-xrd-rev-2-location-test/. It sucks that we didn't get patch notes after the 2nd loc test but the number of changes between the 2nd and 3rd tests is relatively small and the final version of Rev2 is pretty close to the 3rd.

As for Haehyun, her wall bounce combos aren't new but it sounds like you're doing her 623K special and not the 623[K]~4 version, which is the one that causes the wall bounce.

Crocoswine
Aug 20, 2010

the real change to Haehyun is that they made the input for her Reverse Four Tigers Sword much more lenient, and as a (probably unintended,) result she's able to throw out a regular Four Tigers Sword immediately before doing the reverse version.

But yeah there a ton of balance changes coming with Rev 2. A really notable one is that Faust got a bunch of upgraded/new items he can throw out, like the mega meteor:

You have "Record" and "Play" bound to buttons right? Hitting Record once will put the dummy in standby, hitting it twice will start the actual recording, and then hitting it again will save your recording. They probably did it this way so an accidental press doesn't overwrite your recordings.

If you accidentally start recording and didn't want it you can press play and that will cancel without saving, btw
