I completely forgot about that game. Still, I don't think we'll have more than 18 characters at the start, 20 if we stretch it.

You're mad jelly that the next KoF won't look as colorful or pretty as this huh =V
How the heck do I watch Nico Nico videos if I'm not a Nico member again?

My only complaint is that Ky's j.S wasn't as pretty as it could have been. Oh well in development

You can watch them without being one now.
edit: huh, or maybe you still do. Guilty gear vid is accessible without being one though.

They really never will make a Guilty Gear X3. Assholes!

Wut, this is X3. Japan has never gone with the X2 name. It's been X then XX now we have XXX *it's in the background*

I'm very happy about this announcement. But I refuse to use that name.
That's always been intentional - they went out of their way to use weird staggers and choppy hitstun in Battle Fantasia, even though they were perfectly fine with using fluid animation for certain things, like character intros.
Overture is the only exception, and that's because it was some weird pre-MOBA thingy.
Edit: I see this has already been covered multiple times. Whoops, didn't mean to pile on.
Agreed, although to be honest I don't like the sheen on the models too much. Still, it's an impressive effect, and the game looks great as-is; I can't wait to see how it looks once it's further along in development.

I think the excellent celshading is the primary reason, not choppy animation.

Next up- GG vs Blazblue in this engine.
SMH. Not if they look like King of Shitartstyle: Maximum Impact or Street 4. :/

WaiT.... Ok you have a point. Marvel 3 was so good tho :3 I like combo games

Wasn't exactly serious...
Anyway, trailer looked sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Haven't really been excited about a fighter in a long time, but this is the sort of thing that's going to rope me back into the genre.

The cel-shading itself doesn't seem to be superior to CC2's in the Naruto games when you go back and look at the screenshots.

I wonder if the alt costumes will be bonkers now that they have 3D models

I wouldn't be surprised if the went X3 on localization like they went X2 instead of XX.
I've got a #Reload arcade machine, and I'm freaking out about this. Best breakfast ever.
Also, MK style story mode incoming.

Why wouldn't they just continue with the visual novel art style they've been using?

Because they have an elegant in-engine method of presenting it?
I really hope they don't. Now that they're using models, an MK9 style story presentation would be feasible.

The only reason they do that is because 2d cutscenes are expensive. The only reason MK's story mode worked was because 3d cutscenes were inexpensive.
To get the feel of an ASW 2D fighting game all they had to do was make it with choppy animation. =P
I wish they'd improve the animation since they're using more and more 3D modeling as a base.
Also, new art style sucks ass. But I guess it's better to have the good, old GG characters tailored to the modern Japanese tastes than completely new characters created from the ground with that intention.

I really need to play Guilty Gear 2, now. It looks like this follows that game. But oh man. I need the OST just as much as I need the game. The vocals actually sound good, too, unlike the vocal GG albums.
Anyone want to make some Xrd avatars?

Since they're 3D models, maybe there is an (possibly hidden) option to unlock the in-between frames for all characters so they all have 60fps animations. And I bet it would look incredibly awkward and off-putting, but that would be a fun bonus curiosity.
2D sprites that are painted over 3D models. The switch is reasonably easy for them and will keep the same feel.

If you look at the nicovideo I think it looks far smoother.

Not 3D animation smooth but I don't think it looks off-putting, but I didn't think that early guilty gear's animation was off-putting, as much as I acknowledge it being shitty.

In my mind there's something fundamentally wrong about using Unreal Engine for fighting games...
Anyway, I guess I can't expect a handheld version of this.
