The only downside to this game so far is the serious lack of Junpei. Look at how badass Akihiko and Mitsuru look. Junpei must be some muscular man god knocking bears into orbit with a baseball bat.

There's a P4U BBS out there that lists down Japanese players impressions of the cast (Or one guy? Can't tell) If anyone wants to translate it, that'd be pretty boss. EDIT: The Offical site is now only missing one Twitter icon, which means the last dude in the game's definitely someone special. Maybe an original cast member as what was hinted way back when the game was being developed? I have no idea. LightningKimba fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Dec 30, 2011 |

Calling it now the boss character is going to be an suped-up version (think of Blazblue Unlimited or Guilty Gear EX/SP mode) of main character from persona 3. Also, speaking of characters Margret or Elizabeth would be great DLC.

Truspeaker posted:I loved GG and I loved BB, no idea why you would say that. Because generally speaking it was true. Tons of GG players really hated BB and there was a big shitfit about the whole thing. And while S-Alpha is probably right about this game being more BB than GG, P4U already looks WAY faster than BB is, and that's saying something because bad players almost always make a game look a lot slower. That's a pretty big step in the right direction IMO.

Like GB said, a huge percentage of GG players absolutely despised BB, from the whole two-button throw thing, to throw leniency, and so on. I still personally like both, even if BB has pretty much ruined my ability to do proper Clean Hit loops, FRC combos, and stuff like that. Though I myself would also like a current-gen HD GG, with proper netcode and all. They'd probably have to make some roster cuts, though.

BB doesn't feel anything like GG but the boring S-tier characters in the first two revisions were what really killed the game in America. It came into its own with CS2 and in general people are pretty happy with it now!TGG posted:Is there no market for a GG:AC re-release with passable netcode?

I don't think we're likely to see this unless/until they want to build up hype for Guilty Gear 3 Snowman Ampersand Edition, GGXX was almost universally loved but any old game is a hard sell when there are so many new ones with real scenes and nothing new happening in that series.

Next loketest begins Jan. 13th-15th, and from this site, it's reported that... - The classroom and the music room (Yu and Yukiko) have different arrangements of Reach Out to the Truth as BGM, while Aigis and Mitsuru have Heartful Cry arrangements. Other stages/characters seem to have brand-new tracks. Alas, no BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY is confirmed yet. - Rise commentates for both players, which is both support and also warnings, so she may be difficult to understand with her cries. - Kanji's described as "Tager without magnetism" or "Birdie with a Stand". - His running takes a while to accelerate, so it may be better to just walk forward instead. - The S-Attack combo (performed by mashing A) is Punch > Horizontal chair strike > Lower chair strike > Buster Attack. Very good combo starter, and can also be linked into the chair throw super. - 2A doesn't seem to link into anything, so its use is limited to stuffing the enemy's slower moves. The same goes for jA. - 5B is the speech bubble attack that I mistook for 6B. Seems to stagger the enemy for a very short while, maybe you can follow it up with a throw? - 2B doesn't connect from either AA or 2A, but it does knock up the opponent. - jB is jump-cancellable, so you can do stuff like jB > jump cancel > jB. - jC (the clash-punch by Take-Mikazuchi) can be charged like 5C, though the effects are uncertain. Maybe it's canceled, like 5C, or gets a power-up? - 5D's range is about 1.5 characters away from the opposite side of the screen, 2D is closer to Kanji, and jD is closer to the wall. Basically, it's jD>5D>2D. Use jD to punish those pesky shotos! - It may be possible to cancel the dropkick (2AB) into 5C for some good damage, though the dropkick's range is too short to pull that off often. - The R-Action can be followed up with Buster Attack. - A-version of Buster Attack has small range, but comes out fast, while the B-version has a single hit of super-armor and makes Kanji jump greater distance. EX-version hits the enemy wherever they may be, and also has great speed and super-armor. - Additional Buster Attack can be used for stuff like 2AB (knockdown) > Buster > 2B (knock-up) > Gotcha!. - C-version of Pin Ya Down! (the regular command grab) seems to have longer start-up, but has some invulnerable frames. Thus, the D-version is faster, but doesn't have invulnerability. Kinda like Tager. EX-version has C's speed and D's damage and also paralyzes the enemy. - The EX-version of Gotcha! (ground-to-air throw) has the D-version's trajectory, but reacts to the enemy's jumps, making it safer for Take-Mikazuchi. - A-version of Brace Yourself! (air-to-ground throw) is short-ranged, while the B-version makes Kanji jump greater distance. EX-version adds more hits, increasing the damage, AND makes Kanji jump across the whole screen, making life that much harder for Yukiko and Aigis. But, it doesn't catch sitting opponents after all. - Tatsumi-Style Peacemaking (the chair throw) is followed-up with a short combo automatically if it hits the enemy who's close enough. Basically, it doesn't depend on the move's version. - Aigis' victory pose makes her fly away like a rocket. - Her Blast Gatling special and 2B are really good zoning tools, but they spend bullets. You only get 150 of them each round and there is no way to recover them until the round ends (like Bang's nails). - Her Vulcan Gun (aerial special) shoots the bullets diagonally downwards. You can mash A to shoot more, but it spends even more bullets. - You can switch modes both by Mode Change (22A/B) and by Escape Change (B+D). It spends her Orgia Gauge pretty fast, and if it goes below a certain limit, it becomes gray, and Aigis can't enter Orgia mode for a while. It recovers slowly while in Normal mode. - You will run out of bullets fast if you only fight in Normal mode, but Orgia mode can be active only for a short while. The key to playing Aigis is to combine both of her modes and use them effectively. - Megido Fire is similar to Mei-Fang's Suzaku Hourin from Arcana Heart. Athena spins in mid air and hits the enemy with fire, while Aigis can continue the combo if the move hits the opponent. - 5-Barrel Medusa makes Aigis shoot multiple slow rockets out of her Pandora's Box-like rocket launchers after a moderately long start-up. The common use of this move is to cover your approach when you decide to go on the offensive. - However, the main feature of Orgia mode is not the specials, but the dashes. Her ground dash makes her float a little, so she can use her aerial moves out of it. It's different from Morrigan's dashes, as it's closer to the ground, but you can still start hovering after it, for example. And then there is the whole new world of overheads... Maybe you should really consider just running away from her until her Orgia mode ends. - Her R-Action is quite troublesome to deal with, too. It has quite a lot of invulnerable frames, and it's hard to punish it, since she can just backstep and start abusing her just-activated Orgia mode. - Finally, you can link her supers together, since Great Shield of the Goddess gets you close enough for the Holy Spear of the Heavenly Host to hit the target. - Akihiko's entrance pose is him clashing his fists and saying "Let's have a good battle". He also has a special opening scene with Chie. - His victory poses: In the first round, he beats himself in the chest and says "I'm pretty strong!". In the second round, he says "It was a good fight, see you", puts on the hood of his ragged red cape and jumps away. 5A - a jab. Has a pretty good reach. Its S-Chain makes Akihiko rush back and forth around the opponent, finishing with Cyclone Upper if you have the meter. 2A - a sitting jab. Its range is actually very long, even bigger than of 5A. In fact, it easily outranges most of the other characters' jabs except for maybe Kanji. You can also combo it, like 2A-5B-Kill Rush A (236A) if you're close enough. A godlike move overall. 5B - a two-hit body blow. Its range is pretty short. 2B - a left-hand uppercut. Besides being an anti-air move, it can be jump-canceled, so you can combo it like 2B-jB-jB-Assault Dive (j214A/B). Since Akihiko's aerial game is not that good, many characters want to approach him from the air, so don't forget to use this move. 5C/2C - Caesar brings down his sword. The start-up is long, but the reach is excellent, even making it possible to use it as an anti-air. However, since it's a Persona attack, you can't use it along with 5D, so you have to choose between them. 5D/2D - Caesar's globe shines and pulls the enemy in. The main part of the pull is at the beginning of the move, only pulling in a bit more after that. You should also keep in mind that the enemy is pulled towards Caesar, not towards Akihiko, so it's possible to overestimate the pull while standing somewhere else, not to mention putting your Persona in a dangerous situation. Akihiko may be a character that doesn't depend on his Persona too much, but losing 5C and 5D is still pretty bad. jA - a jumping jab. You can mash it, and it has some good range, too. jB - Akihiko punches downwards. A jump-in tool, I guess? jC, jD - pretty much the same as the ground versions. Throw - Akihiko grips the enemy and performs a Killer Rush variant. You can even follow it up with Corkscrew and Boomerang Hook, too. Thanks to that, his throw give you much more reward than those of the other characters. All-Out Rush - an overhead punch. Not that much aerial combos that you can do out of it. Sweep (2A+B) - a fist sweep. Resembles Dudley's crouching MK. Double Upper (B+D) - Akihiko's R-Action, a right-hand uppercut (why is it double, then?). Unlike Narukami or Mitsuru, Akihiko doesn't jump, and the move's range is short, so it kinda sucks when compared to them. Still, it's an R-Action, which means that it's a valid defense tool. But yeah, the others have much better ones. Kill Rush (236A/B) - Akihiko rushes forward. If he reaches the opponent, he automatically throws out a flurry of punches. A version has faster start-up, while B version travels longer distance. This is obviously the move that Akihiko is all about, since you can follow it up with any other special beside Assault Dive. You should be careful about spamming it, though, since it cares about the opponent's position at the time you perform it, which means that they can easily jump and watch you beat up empty air. Closeout Blow (214A/B) - Akihiko parries the enemy's attack. You can follow it up with the same stuff as Kill Rush. Corkscrew (6A/B after Kill Rush) - such a magnificent corkscrew so early in the morning! Blow the enemy away, ending the Kill Rush combo. Can be followed up with Ducking. Boomerang Hook (4A/B after Kill Rush) - Akihiko performs a right-hand hook, leaving the enemy standing. This is yet another excellent move that can be followed up with pretty much anything Akihiko has at his disposal, be it 5B, sweeps, All-Out Rush or even the supers. You can even cross-up the opponent by simply jumping and turning around! Alas, if you decide to do another Kill Rush, a Corkscrew will come out instead. Well, it's still the single best move that you have, so abuse it! Ducking (236C/D or 6C/D after Kill Rush) - Akihiko lunges towards the opponent quickly. I suppose it's safer than Kill Rush or something. Webbing (214C/D or 4C/D after Kill Rush) - Akihiko retreats from the opponent quickly. Again, not that much stuff about this one. Assault Dive (j214A/B) - Akihiko dives downwards with a punch, striking a pose when landing. Cyclone Upper (236236A/B) - the Big Bad Uppercut super. It has its own gauge that gives it more hits if you charge it up with the other moves. And it's actually pretty easy to charge up by just going Kill Rush - Boomerang Hook - Sweep - Cyclone Upper and stuff like that. However, the gauge drops to 0 at the end of the combo (or it simply drops down fast). Basically, it compensates for the combo scaling, making your combo ender bigger if the combo itself is longer. Thunder Fist (236236C/D) - gives your attacks Lightning properties, paralyzing the opponent sometimes. Alas, it seems that you can't cancel your combos with it, since Akihiko performs a Kill Rush instead for some reason. Maziodyne (214214C/D) - nothing new about this one, though this is the only move that makes Akihiko pull out his Evoker.

LightningKimba posted:- Kanji's described as "Tager without magnetism" or "Birdie with a Stand". See, knowing how Arcsys has been treating Tager lately, this would worry me, but the fact that Kanji has a much better ability to control the screen and get in. Hopefully there won't be any matchups as painful as vs Lambda/Rachel. Akihiko looks very interesting, I have to say. The orb move might be good to keep pressure/blockstrings going, but I've yet to actually see it in action, so it may not be as useful as I'm thinking.

This week's update is... More game mechanics, this being that EX moves in this game are known as SBs, or Skill Boost moves. It also features some status effects, and the various button combinations you need to use for Bursts, One More Cancels, and the like. Hopefully this weekend, we'll have a few loketest vids to watch.

I don't think Kanji looks like his moveset is that bad so far, but that really was the worst phrase they could possibly use to describe him.

Tager was the character who got me started on grapplers, so I'm not too familiar with Potemkin, and as such I can't hate him. But really, the biggest issues with Tager tend to involve his rear end mobility, and from what I've seen in gameplay, Kanji at least has the ability to get around the room without too much trouble. With what I've seen of his damage, it seems like they've got themselves a decent midpoint with Kanji. Of course, you still get cases like the people I play BB with, who are dead set on the idea that Tager is broken as poo poo.

Tager's problem had little to do with mobility and was instead Arc System's refusal to give him any stable or meaningful tools to accomplish consistent mixups or get into range. Sledge was mostly useless versus anyone with reaction time unless you were already in, Spark simply countered action, rather than created meaningful ways to get in etc.

Edit: Also having a 720 was probably the biggest problem, I'm almost positive that's why they didn't give him a double jump and you have to consider him around having the most frustrating move in the game for other players which generally delegates him to "poo poo tier". People still thought Tager was broken as hell at low levels despite their efforts. They certainly could have gotten creative and tied interesting magnetism options to counteract his lack of mobility though. anime was right fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Jan 14, 2012 |
