I had oodles of trouble with this one as well. The key is timing the dash input correctly. You need to be throwing it out before your last move completes so you get the quick dash without doing the inputs when you need the kick to come out.

I do, it doesn't change my distaste for the input. Me getting to the point where I could do it 100% of the time wouldn't change my distaste for the input. I can go in with Sol and input DP in this game as forward, back, down-back, down-forward, forward and still get DP. I miss one diagonal in an input that's half circle back -> forward and get a whole slew of unrelated moves. Half the problem is overlap in the character's moveset and the other half is the uncharacteristically precise nature the game demands of you to input it compared to other moves in the game. May has the same issues.
Alright thanks, I'll give it shot.

Forgot to say thanks to all the GAF members that stopped by and caught my stream earlier today. I got a few new things from it all, but I still feel so horribly down on myself after playing a set with my bro earlier.
I'll probably be streaming again later tonight or sometime over the weekend. I'm in full grind mode.

I'm pretty sure those videos are hacked, you can't clash like that in real gameplay.
Just tried it out in training mode and I see what you mean.
At least it will teach you clean inputs.

How is the limited edition + controller? Can it be used for other games too? Im deliberating on this game (vanilla) and a controller (DS4) or the limited edition

The online in this game sucks. There, I said it. Honestly, after putting BB and P4A out there Arc System Works should be ashamed of how poorly implemented the online system is in this game. For example, in ranked:
- Why do I get kicked out to the lobby at the end of each ranked match?
- What are those cogs that appear once the match is over?
- Why do connections show as 1, 2, 3, or 4 bars yet once you select a player their connection value appears differently?
- Why the fuck can't I see the rank of a player I'm playing until I started the match?! Levels don't mean shit.
There is a very simple trick that I discovered for that problem and I use it since Reload. Just press back and K at the end of the dash.
Haven't played rank, but that's how things should be, you don't want players dodging each others based on ranks.

Then new players are doomed to be fighting people much better than them then?
You avoid that by adding an option to search for people at your skill level only, something I've yet to see a fighting game do a good job at. Did Persona and BB show players levels/ranks before the match?

I'm inclined to agree. Potemkin Buster has a very finicky motion, and I find myself performing the motion better on a pad as opposed to my stick and even on my hitbox.
Nothing hurts more than dizzying an opponent with Potemkin, and being in the situation where a single Pot Buster can win you the match, only to fuck up the motion and get a 6P or neutral jab or something.
Been dealing with that since XX, but oh well, I still love Potemkin very much.
Love this attitude. Wish more people would employ it when they feel frustrated by something in FGs.
That's how you get better.

They really don't give you much room for error when going for the Radio Edit trophy. 12 minutes to beat the tutorial. It wouldn't be so bad if the timer only started once you were trying to do the inputs, but it's running through even the talking parts. Even clicking through it fast it going to eat up at least 30s or so.

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
gonna grab the game this weekend
is there any big differences between PS3 and PS4 versions discovered since release

There used to be some extra online lag from playing the import version and cross platform due to different patches, but after the latest patches I personally don't experience that anymore.
I'm able to play my friend that I normally have terrible connections with, and only get 3-4F of lag. This is with me using a wireless JP PS4 version and him using a NA PS3 version.

Just got my import copy of this today. Not played a fighter for years. Headed straight to the tutorial and I think I'm up to no 28 on that. Everything seems fairly straight forward so far. Loving the mechanics and the visuals.
What should I be doing solo wise. Arcade mode, mom, story? In any particular order?

Arcade mode first, play with all the characters to get a good feel of them and their story (might be a good idea to lower the dificulty). Then go to story mode to find out what happens to them after the Arcade mode storyline. After that MOM and online.

Sounds good. I'm no expert and won't ever be. Just want to have some fun and at the very least win a few online when I do decide to take the plunge. It's my first GG game and a lot of the characters are intriguing and have a great design.
Finally took the time to finish story mode.
Overall it was within expectations.
- So, is Gabriel gonna be the Jubei of this game? You can have him to all that and not expect us to want him playable.
- Who the hell thought that would be a good redesign for Justice? She looks terrible now. I want my old Eva/Guyver back.
- From the ending is the final boss gonna be the Pope?

How long is story mode?
It will take a few hours to finish. There's no fighting at all in it, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the show.

Yeah I heard about that. Just didn't know how long it all took. Do you have to view it all in one sitting or is there a save/resume feature?
It saves between chapters automatically and you can save mid-chapter.

Well made a start on arcade mode and just finished it with the first guy on the list to the left sin kiske. Really enjoyed it although it's very hectic but I got the general gist. I am a tad confused by the extra power meter he has above the tension meter. One of his specials with heavy strike fills this meter. Sorry for noob question but what's it for?
Sol badguy gave me some grief at the end. He was piling into me like mad in the corner in some of the matches. Beat him on 5th attempt though

Oh damn I completely missed this despite craving new Xrd footage to watch and this being my main.
I was already watching his Elphelt video too.

I was waiting for someone that used Sin to answer, but I'll link you Dustloop's explanation on it.
http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sin_Kiske_(GGXRD)#Special_Moves
Basically his specials use up the meter and you don't want it to empty up since you'll be vulnerable. Eat at the end of combos to prevent this from happening. He can go from one special into another special, but it drains the meter even faster. In other words, just be careful that it doesn't go down to zero.

You can learn a lot from the missions in this game. They're not just fights with handicaps like in XX. The last few are simply amazing at teaching you certain matchups.
The survival one with Ramlethal and the "block Millia" ones are essential imo.
Also, saw this in the DMC4SE thread earlier and couldn't help but think Elphelt 13 years prior.

Thanks for that. Geez I got owned when I went online. I picked sol as I heard he's noob friendly. Came close to winning a few times but I find all my tutorial practice goes out the window in the heat of battle.
