    Ordered JP copy cause I'm a sucker for having the physical object (bigger sucker nowadays cause 20 patches and DLC right out of the gate).

    Wonder if anybody will still be playing by the time it arrives. :V

    Just want to note that for anyone who's picked this up and is new to anime games, the mission mode is actually pretty useful in this.

    I think the tutorial mode is hands down the best I've ever seen in a fighting game. It doesn't miss a thing AFAIK. It even does throw option selects.

    RiceDigital offering import copies of Xrd from USA, so if you want a physical copy early they've taken care of the customs duties bit.

    Is this out on PS4 yet? If so, is it cross platform play with PS3 users?

    EDIT: Didn't realise it was out in the US so soon. I'll just get a digital copy on US PSN.

    Sol can get over 50% if he's in Dragon Install with 2 bars of tension to spare. Looks very situational though and apparently requires high execution.

    Combos fine, just will only work on a certain amount of the cast and at very specific spacing. The health bars in this game are also pretty weighted, so its really only like 40% of their life. It actually really annoys me that the bottom 35% of life is about the same as the first 65%.

    Planning on playing both him and Millia since his reveal picture. I've only been happy with what I've seen since.
    His IK is giga drill breaker.

    This bothers me too. Why did they even do that?

    It's the same as the "Magic Pixel" in Marvel. It adds artificial hype to the match by making it appear that more of the game is happening when players have low health.

    Oh, okay that makes sense, I guess. Seems unnecessary to me, though.

    I didn't know they called it that, thanks. Doesn't it seem like there's more scaling in this game than others, though? Maybe it's just my imagination.

    Most games with guts give each character different scaling as well.

    Doesn't bother me at all. In fact I think it works well for GG combined with the guard gauge scaling and wildly different proration on starters, you can never quite tell if someone's dead to rights.

    Might bother me in a slow calculated game like SF, but that hasn't happened yet so meh.

    Awesome, thanks for that dude. I really wish they kept FRC as it was, it was 1f IIRC in ^C and was really tough to do, for the reward you got from it, it definitely merited it's difficulty.

    I watched some Ogawa play eddie in Xrd (Ogawa was THE Eddie player for those who don't know). I see they changed Eddie's shadow K to the way it was back in #R, which is actually a big nerf as his shadow K was so insanely powerful in ^C, but I think this is a good change as the way it is now (the big moving gear animation which locks people in blockstun) is still awesome too. Also I think I saw Ogawa successfully do Eddie's signature UB setup a few times on videos, I guess there's no way they could have removed the UBs? Eddie still looks god tier in this game

    It varied from move to move. Order Sol's were definitely not 1f. To counteract how easy they are now there's a much more obvious tell. As said back there, there's more to it than just that but I didn't want to write a huge explanation in the picture thread and don't know 100% of the details.

    Ogawa is still the god Eddie. His UBs are still there but the game just feels like there's enough strong characters that its not out of place.

    They actually did release AC+ here on PS2 and Wii, not very common though. I never saw AC+R anywhere- I don't think we got that one.

    US/JP PS3 version of AC on PS3 had it, most on 360 as far as I know. We actually have it on one of the PS3s in the XGC.

    Ah thanks for clearing that up, on the topic is order sol still in this? Spose if it's based on #R he won't be :(

    All right guys, just to point this post out:

    Doesn't mean you have to stop chatting about Xrd, just we have to stop the chatter about circumventing geographical locks (it's legally up in the air).

    I assume linking to websites for import disc versions is still fine as the console and game are region free.

    Would assume so, as per the post it should only apply to things like having to bluff PSN to get foreign region DLC, etc.

    The physical game can be legally acquired and played on any PS3, absolutely no shenanigans required - unless flat out being posted a game from somewhere else is now legally shady as well?

    Confirmation a la Doom?

    I can't see that being a problem at all.

    I believe the issue is recommending people to falsify addresses, etc. Buying something from outside the EU is definitely not the same thing!

    Even importing of physical products?

    If so, that seems excessive.

    Set it to performance. The Graphics mode will do its best to emulate the PS4, and will chop your framerate some of the time. Setting it to performance will reduce the quality, but ensure a (more) consistent framerate.

    I have a weird bug in my copy. I decided to watch the arcade intros and trailers in the gallery for the heck of it and the game froze everytime I selected "arcade version 1 intro".

    Not a big deal as I can obviously still play the game normally but I was wondering if anyone else has come across it.

    Suggestion for a character who's brand new to the series?
