    Hopefully they don't remove eddie UB setups into his DESTROY GUARANTEED KO. not broken at all (wishful thinking :P)

    even if they take away his UB, his mixup and pressure, and zoning, and keep away, and run away, will all still be god tier. biggest bs char ever in a game, this is why I main him

    Worried for this game, want it to be amazing but it feels like it's getting rushed out the door.

    Smaller roster at first is expected but the lineup seems pretty random, rather than a carefully thought out core roster it kinda feels like they were going for the original GG roster then got bored and started throwing darts at the AC select screen, then were told to release on Friday.:pac:

    Worth noting that the first match is terrible but it gets much better after that.

    never played a GG game but that video was interesting to watch.
    only thing ive been told about them is the execution hard.

    that it says beats on the hit counters is it the same craic as BB with red/blue beats?

    From talking to GG players, it's not exactly that the execution is hard, but you have to be aware of the hits - so combos are quite situational.

    And also the execution is hard, because Guilty Gear has had some famously mad execution stuff which was allowable by all the mad systems the game had. Like metre cancel combos with one frame timing.

    But 1man3letters I don't think we know at this point how many of those old game systems are gonna be reimplemented in this one. It would make sense for them to make it less ridiculous and more approachable.

    Yeah a lot of the mechanics have been removed or simplified ala SF4.

    On the 'beats' topic, GG works similarly but the colours are different: blue in GG is a legit combo IIRC.

    Me and a workmate are gonna give it a go on Friday night (assuming it does get released on Thursday as mentioned around the internet). From what's been shown so far it looks cool as hell, and hopefully it'll have a longer life-cycle than RIPersona, which was a really cool game.

    A couple of weeks ago there was a behind-the-scenes article on Japanese site 4gamer.net about the game's graphics. A (sort-of) translation has been posted here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2099538&postcount=229

    So this is releasing today on the 4th on JP PSN.

    Currently the game has two DLC characters: Elphelt and Leo Whitefang. It was also announced that Elphelt will be available at launch and free for a few weeks, then jump to 800 yen. Leo will release in 2 weeks and be 800 yen from the start.

    Here's the boxart for the game:

    1412657425-gg-xrd-jp-box-art-ps3.jpg

    2 of the 6 characters featured on the cover don't actually come with the game. Arc Sys did this before with Hard Corps Uprising (2 of the 4 main characters were DLC despite being featured heavily in all promotional material and even the fully 2D animated attract mode).

    I've come to terms with DLC characters in my games, but putting characters on the ****ing box and then charging you an extra €15 to use them is deplorable. Elphelt being free for a few weeks doesn't help the average consumer who just finds this on a shelf and decides they want to play as her, only to find her locked behind a paywall when they get home.

    Not a chance I'm buying this game.

    Yeah the DLC thing has kind of dissuaded me from buying GG xrd. No doubt there'll be different versions of it until the end of the PS4's lifespan, which means shelling out more cash ofc, possibly over 100 euro (maybe BB players can enlighten me to how much they've payed in total for all the games versions and DLC). I don't have a JP or US account set up either so it's a bit of an effort to just get one game. I'll come to some casual sessions for Xrd and try it out, but I ain't so sure about buying it.

    You can set up a Hong Kong account; it's pretty easy, all PSN menus are in English and it's usually a good $10-20 cheaper than the Japanese PSN store.

    They're patching English text and voices into the Japanese/HK versions as well. I've got it pre-installed on my PS3.

    BBCP was a full price game. €8 spent on DLC for all the characters. Been out for over a year and even got a free rebalance.

    The DLC situation is absolute bull no doubt, but it's basically par for the course nowadays.

    Frankly if I'm going to get F'd in the A over DLC I'd rather end up playing a decent bloody game.

    Is there confirmation on the English text patch? I'm tempted to just go straight in on the JP version, really my biggest concern would be training mode menus (which I believe Arc generally doesn't do in English like most) - story mode I can do without for a while.
