Damn, Kamiya kinda screwed himself over. Relations in an industry like this is quintessential to succeeding as a company.
By god...
Probably well deserved on his end, you can just say "BLOCKED" to him too when he asks for help hahaha.

Bah, I'm always too late to the Xrd discussion. Thomasorus covered all the important I-No points I think.
I want to say though that Ogawa's tier list has a pretty obvious bias, in that I-No has historically been a troublesome matchup for Zato/Eddie. The other Japanese players do not rate her quite as highly.
I don't know that I could argue that I-No has been buffed in the new version though. Don't get me wrong, I am going to love the YRC's and the buffs to her FDC hopping (that's plinking from her jump D to green-block without getting burst to stall her air momentum, which I already abuse in +R despite the landing recovery), but it's still coming at the cost of: her double-airdash; her slightly-longer +R limbs; her amazing Force-Breaks; the extended reach of the Horizontal Chemical Love beam (relative to screen size); the combos off of dives; the old, more-invincible and persistent Longing Desperation; and the rush of the HCL FRC combos. (Okay, I don't expect any other Gaffers to feel me on that last point, but work with me here!)
What really does it for I-No in Xrd is that Axl's been neutered, and there's no Jam, Robo-Ky, Order-Sol or Bridget.

Lol dude sure. Don't take kamiya's blocks seriously
What happened to Axl, anyway? I've been hearing he's bad (I've seen lists with him below even Xrd Potemkin), but I have no idea why.

I'm fine. If I was upset you'd see me ranting about it on Twitter lol.
Personally I don't think he benefits from YRCs or even the RCs that much compared to the others.
In fact, I think it hurts him since people can just YRC to get in a range he doesn't want you in.

I wanted to start looking at Venom in #R but Xrd seems pretty different in the areas I wanted to look at it. Oh well.
"Xrd Zato players have secretly been playing him for a decade"
What exactly are you looking at for Venom?
Basically the same thing but more tools. He has the same exact game plan with his shadows and combos.
Edit: That's a better explanation lol

I was just going to move around and set some balls, knock them around, to see how the formations move and change, just to get used to it. However Xrd changed up the placement of one ball in all the formations so its going to behave a bit differently.

I'm in the same boat, thinking about Millia as well.
i'm thinking of going back to Millia but Ram looks so interesting.. and I-no is peaking my interest slightly
Oh right, they are a bit different looking at the pictures. I guess you can't play around with the same formations in the mean time.
I'm more of a fan of how anime just took over.

He can practice charge comands in a combo or setting single balls and wacking right away as oki and such
dude that's not what that word means go back to studying for the MCAT
True. I'm liking how Venom turned out btw. New j.D is so much better, and his routes seem much easier.
I feel like I want to learn the majority of the cast at this point. I mean, I guess I could to some extent since they're very similar to Reload. A lot of them are just way too fun (maybe not Xrd Potemkin or Axl lol).

Well that's always been a thing with GG the cast for the most part are very simple and easy to get into but if you want to go a whole lot deeper you can. It's why I always suggest it as the game to learn air dashers with.
That's terrible to hear. I don't know if I could sit there playing after hearing that news.
What makes Potemkin bad/not fun i n this game? I thought he was good in previous games.

Like Zato and Ogawa, if your name isn't FAB you are not the chosen one.

Delete that Smash link ASAP.
He was just ok in Reload. I don't know much about Slash, but it's pretty much AC that makes him somewhat infamous.
In Xrd, he feels balanced around keeping YRCs in mind. In AC, had a normal that vacuumed you in, he could do pretty scary damaging combos, FRC opened a lot of things for him too. In Xrd, he kinda has to yolo approach unless you're FAB in. Once he gets a hit confirm, you do a safe jump. Then it's either a high, empty jump low, or command grab, leading to another safe jump.
In AC, he was fun since his tools made neutral threatening and cool. His gameplan wasn't too dependent on scaring you with his command grab.
Edit: Oh right, he has a new 6K. 6K corner loops look cool, but iirc, I don't think it's an overhead like his old one.
What makes you bring up Abegen?

Abegen is a Potemkin player. I haven't seen a video of him playing Xrd though.
Yams' yomi is a little off sometimes. That's why we love him
Your computer can't handle youtube's full screen 60fps so the player stutter which make the video play at a lower framerate. If you can download the video and play it with a proper video player, it should play just fine at 60fps with full screen.
I see. I don't like it when grapplers become too dependent on their grabs, especially in a game like GG.

you not a grappler if your grab don't have a whiff animation bruh

Grappler usually means "derives most of his/her damage from throws".
This was a good read.
LK also making note of Marie's Awakening super being amazing and that she has potential to improve makes me happy.
She might not be as dumb as I initially thought when labbing with her early on, but I still do believe she's a really strong character.
There are some things I am quite surprised on. I didn't think Kanji would be that far down compared to the tier above him.
Also I still think there are some characters that might change later on in the game (Rise being one of them)
When your command grab has 16 frames of throw invuln it changes things a bit.
LK's stuff is pretty good but he gets muddy in some details and is a bit generous.
