Not sure if the plan is to do this bi-weekly or weekly, but we'll see how it goes!

I spectated this tournament, and there were some good matches! It makes me regret not entering.

If there's a good Street Fighter game on the next tournament, I'll enter, especially if it's HF, ST or Alpha 2.

Breakers Revenge should also make a return for season 2, it's such a rad game.

Devil May Cry? Never played it but people say the third one sucked and the fourth one was good.

No, it's more like the 2nd one was bad, 3rd being really awesome, and the 4th being just good.

That is definitely something I found to agree with when I played through the games.

It sounds like they always come at a pretty predictable part of a combo, but the comber can end the combo early and never get to the part that's breakable. kind of sounds like a prehistoric, shittier version of marvel 3 exchange counters.

What ends up happening in both KI games is that if for some reason you do play the game at high levels, the attacker can just work around that by doing unbreakable combos. Here's a video with bad audio in it that explains it:

There are still better games to be played.

Speaking of GGXXAC+ releases, for those that who lived in a country that it wasn't released in for XBLA ( :canada:

), it should be out on the 9th.

Edit: Fixed release date.

X2 was sweet because Slayer's command throw was an infinite combo and Millia Rage killed you from just knocking you down once and still wasn't as good as Eddie

Not sure what you mean with Millia since she still can kill most characters off one knockdown throughout each revision.

I am extremely hype for Xrd now too because of this. His move set is his complete one he had before Accent Core, with two new moves while in the pogo stance (up and down). Can't wait to see the leaked location test videos of him in action soon.

Pote looks good in Xrd, but the decisions they've made regarding Faust is weird. His transition from +R to Xrd was pretty seamless and he even got new tools to use.

Actually, #Reload Faust to Xrd was the seemless transition, not counting his new move and new items. Although his main game plan has been the same since XX (and has always been solid and strong), he's not the same character from +R, since his gattles and combo options in +R allowed him to do a lot more than compared to #Reload. This is especially because of him no longer having access his godly force breaks.

From watching all of the Faust footage, I wonder why Arc Sys thought he needed a better f.S and 2H button, since they were already solid before. It's like they took away his big weakness of his slow recovering normals on whiff in Xrd. With YRCing whiffed normals, he's quite a monster. The most abusive one I've seen is 5D YRC for the strike invincibility, and then react with whatever.

If history is anything to go by, he'll probably continue to be a good character since his gameplan is fundamentally solid to begin with.

I'm just happy they didn't give him the Reload Pogo FRC because that think was fyaked and the person who came up with that should have their fingernails removed.

That was XX, but ya it was overall a good thing that it got removed there. Nowhere near as bad as Eddie's S drill FRC though, oy.

What I think was worse about Faust in XX was his f.S > 2D and 2H > 2D gattles he had. With a really fast and far reaching f.S, it was quite dumb how you could get easy knock downs.

In general though, vanilla XX seemed to be really crazy fun, but rather borked.

The most interesting thing about the whole macro thing is how they could also have unintended, game changing side effects due to buggy implementations:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6ieM4l3lYU

So here's a bug with macro that has gone unnoticed in all GGXX console ports for over 10 years (or I think so anyways, since I reproduced this on the PS2 version of GGX2), and only discovered in the past 6 months. Needless to say, the thread on Dustloop discussing it turned out to be quite a shitstorm.

Is anyone playing GG:AC+R on PSN? I'd like to start playing it but it feels like the most of the time I'm just staring at the player lobby.

I go on as well to try to get some matches too, though it's definitely hard to do. Are you in Eastern of Midwest North America? If so (so it won't be too laggy), hit me up on in the #goonsgarden irc channel on synirc or however and we can try playing some matches.

Have Capcom license a new Darkstalkers game to them, since arc sys could probably do a reasonably good job of having play similar to Vampire Savior with the Xrd engine.

Faust is also supposed to be a doctor. However, others say that he's more like a wizard with his shenanigans, which I agree 100% with too. Part of the fun of playing him, after all!

On that note, for anyone interested in Guilty Gear, there was a tutorial for Accent Core released in the past 2 years that covers the basic systems and mechanics. A lot of it is applicable to Xrd too, except for some XX stuff like FRCs and impossible dusts (replaced by YRCs and Corner 6D combos respectively), and some AC/+R specific stuff, mainly force breaks and slashbacks:

There does seem to be a bit more input delay for sure. Had a bit of issues with FRCs in training mode that I normally hit fine on PS3.

One thing I haven't tried is Aero when its running like I did with #R and seeing if that helps, or playing in full screen mode.

I tried about 10 matches total, 7 with Jordo, and it seems playable at 3 bars but not as good as on PS3.

That's my impression, otherwise seems to be what you'd expect out of a console port for it.
