There's a manga but it's about two original characters who are completely out of place in the setting and Sol shows up for like one panel

Chipp is the only Japanese character in the game. Everyone else are gaijins.

Potemkin players, do not migrate to this game, stick with +R.

TAS Potemkin playthrough of this game should involve guard cancelling into potemkin buster since it was a reversal and had armor and was probably instant, followed by continuously grabbing every character on wakeup including dps and supers.

megafist was unsafe on hit and block. charged up slidehead turned into a super with crazy damage.

yes, the game is a broken mess, but everyone should try it at least once.

I like that they made Sol's VV look more like the GG1 style in Xrd, but for whatever reason it just gets a weird pink flame effect in DI now instead. New DI Grand Viper is hilarious though, it hits 25 times and leaves a fire curtain behind it.


Oh some more resources for the game, here's a nice Japanese wiki with pictures and some basic frame data: http://wiki.4gamer.net/ggxrd/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E6%94%BB%E7%95%A5

The Dustloop wiki has a decent breakdown of the game mechanics and also has some of the frame data in English: http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=Guilty_Gear_Xrd_-SIGN-

Actually is 4gamer some kind of official strategy guide site or something? Because those pictures of all the moves have no background and are at 1080p, so I'm guessing ArcSys must have provided them.

4gamer did in depth stuff on the development of the game that had stuff that was obviously taken from the developer (since it used alternate camera angles etc).

According to their Japanese wikipedia page it's a gaming news site, they don't make official guides. Kind of like IGN, I guess.

So what the hell is bedman's deal anyway. Watching the combo video not only does nothing make sense to me (the symbols and stuff) by why is anime Silent Hill 4 going on in the background or the giant animatronic :psyduck:

Bedman has the power of VCRs. Basically every time you do a special move, it leaves behind a marker and you can 'replay' back a shadow version of the same move. The symbol the marker has is just an indicator of which special move it was. None of the replays hit high or low or anything.

Other than that, he's got a really flexible air dash, it's not an 8 way but he can still triangle jump and float and such with it. His dash is a teleport + counter which is pretty silly.

Edit: Wait apparently it actually is just an 8-way dash, it's just got a weird input.

Apparently his new weapon, Junkyard Dog Mk III, has the 'core' of the Fireseal in it? I don't know the reasons behind it, the half translated story/novels I can find don't bring it up.

Of course, the real answer is that it looks cool.

Has there been any word on how well the online portion will play out? Probably too soon to ask.

Had a thought about streaming while learning to play a variety of fighting games. I've tried before on my own and I always get so moody about my losses, eventually losing the juice to keep at it. Maybe with people calling me an rear end in a top hat I'll stick around long enough to gain some level of competency. Xrd looks to have a lot going on with plenty of mechanics to think about, that could get overwhelming. On top of running into other dedicated players who will no doubt make learning hell.

Sure looks sharp though. I really like the idea of comboing into a one hit kill even if it requires holding onto a lot of resources in order to pull off.

The netcode is confirmed to be the same as Blazblue i.e. the gold standard for delay-based netcode but still delay-based netcode.

After the cross-pollination between P4A and CP I assume they'll import hold-to-link and hold-to-tech, I'm more worried (excited?) that the game will play too fast for delay netcode to be acceptable. 2F overheads are real online!
