It's not just that. He has a unique airdash in that his only mobility option after jumping is pressing up, which lets him hover in the air. Inputting a movement then makes him dash in that direction. So even if this game did have two button dash it won't change his situation, unless they make it an alt. input for up.

Depends on the character. As Ky, I don't worry about highs too much. Frame traps go a long way with him, but I'll mix a high/throw once I've conditioned them to stop pressing buttons. Zato gets to go crazy with mixups when Eddie's out while I-No's all about going for mixups all day.
Not saying to don't go for mixups with jump-ins and stuff. Just that I wouldn't rely on 5D or overhead normals/specials all the time (unless you're Millia lol).
And just to clarify, I'm talking about regular blockstrings, not stuff off of oki and whatnot.

It is basically an 8 way air dash.
Kinda. The fact that you have to enter the float mode first makes it more difficult. I never appreciated how much it helped that you could airdash by pressing two buttons in marvel.
I'd suggest going through challenge mode if you haven't. Most of the combos are very practical.
That's what I have been doing with the characters that I've tried so far. I might have missed something during I-No's earlier trials, so I'll take a second look.
At this point, if not using IAD really gimps her as bad as it seems like it does, I might just go with someone that's a little more noob friendly with execution. Potemkin and Faust seem like possibilities.
Are you talking about 6P, HS, JC.IAD midscreen stuff? If so there are simpler alternatives with decent damage.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get a JP PS+ trial? I want the colors but I'd rather not have to pay for plus just for them rn :/

Hey Sayah, which alternatives are you using midscreen ?
The games tutorial mode is pretty solid....I did that, and then have just been going on dustloop forums reading up on the characters I want to play.
If you're humble enough to take the latter approach, that's the best one, imo. It allows you to get a feel for the game on your own terms and with much less frustration. Dive into Dustloop forums once you've established that you want to meet a higher standard.
In terms of the basic mechanics, the game's tutorial has got you covered. Norviltataki's 'Airdash Academy' series is also a great place to start if you're relatively fresh to anime fighters, as is his 'Guilty Bits' series, which are character specific outlines based on AC+R, but a lot of the general strategies of the characters translate well to Xrd.

Who are you most interested in playing? Being a Dudley player, I'd suggest you give Sol a shot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXxyzS1o_XQ
Tutorials and learning materials are kinda sporadic, so I might be able to help you find a more direct resource if you have a specific character you're interested in.
I'm not Sayah. ;p
After 6P/2K, 6P(not optimized and, like most of I-No's stuff, character specific):
- HS, JC, j.S, j.HS, HCL+Follow-Up have to be really close
- If you have meter and want to extend the previous combo, after HCL Follow-up, RRC, AD, land, c.S, SJC, j.S, j.HS, Dive P, AD, j.S, j.HS, HCL+Follow-Up
- HS, JC, j.HS, Note for Oki or against characters whose the other combo doesn't work on
- STBT-S, 6P(replace with 2S or K depending on the character), HCL
Stuff like that, yes. I've been using jump cancel into air.S, air.HS, HCL, follow up. Wondering if that's as good as it gets or not.
I think my primary issue is getting something worthwhile off of ranged 2K on crouching opponents though. I land that way too often and just haven't been able to convert it into meaningful damage.
ah alright
Thanks, I'll heed your advice. I'm thinking about playing sol. Way back when I played reload(scrub level) I was playing ky. You're probably right in that I should play someone similar to dudley, I prefer pressing buttons/being aggressive rather than strictly zoning. I've considered milia and i-no as well.
The other day in the high of overtiredness, I was doing something stupid very casually. It was like 3 powered shotgun blasts - shotgun bash - 5 or 6 level 1 shotgun blasts. Stupid amounts of damage and off a lot of optimal confirms too.
Then I go to sleep, try again and since then it's like my mind is sending all kinds of wrong signals to my hands after I do more than two of the level 1 shotgun blasts. :lol
I'm lucky. Whenever I wakeup, it's like muscle memory developed all night making the next day much much easier, haha.

Can someone give me tips for fighting elphelt? I'm having a lot of trouble fighting against her and I don't want to pay 800 to download her just so I can lab against her. I play ram if that matters. Any help is appreciated.

Does creating private rooms and inviting other players work differently on ps3 than ps4? Trying to get my buddy to play online and he is on ps3 while I'm on ps4. I haven't played online much and I don't understand this whole lobby/zone system too well.
From what Dustloop is saying Elphelt is Ram's only bad MU. I can totally see it too.

Cross-play invitations are borked. You'll have to give him the room ID.

Axl feels so wack in this, but god damn his DP is hilariously good. Probably one of the best DPs I've seen in a fighter.

Who is the lady that appears in some of his moves?
I think she's supposed to be his girlfriend from the past.
I've been learning him today. What's the recommended input for TK Axl Bomber?
The one in the input history for his challenges is a bit odd. The inputs I use isn't exactly consistent either.

Don't ask me, I'm crazy and input stuff the instant I jump manually.
I would imagine it would be 62369
It won't let you. It's one of those weird ones. I think Makoto in BB had something like that where you had to do a weird input code too? Can't remember.

Believe it or not, I just input those the second I jump lol.
Also let's play some tomorrow, heading to bed now but ended up winning another straight 30 times today. Shit gets boring. Though I fought a great Pot player
Friday at the earliest. I actually don't play on weekdays because of classes and such.
So I basically have to cram fighters during the weekends lol

No not really, if you mean lobbies that could just be because you are playing with people that are closer to where you live where ranked kinda just shits people at you
Sorry I'm late. The recommended input IMO (and in the top American Axl player's opinion) is a 360 starting from forward to up. 69874123HS
I usually do it as a 360 in the other direction (6321478963) because it's essentially the same muscle memory as my old +R I-No BNB's, but this is riskier, since you can get stance if you mess up.
Guess I'll mess around with it when I get the chance and see whichever works best for me.
Thanks for the responses.
Played in lobbies for a few hours today and never had anyone above 5 frame delay. It was mostly 2-3. Ranked, again, was terrible and my win/loss ration reflects it. I figured ranked only put you with players in your region, but I guess everyone that plays ranked must be on wifi or something .
Actually, I believe it's supposed to be a representation of Benten.

I did the story mode a few nights ago.
Really liked how that was handled. Though I will say it felt like it dragged a bit in some places.
I would love to see them do this again though however actually use the engine more so and hell basically just make it a movie. That's what it was just about anyway.

Whenever I search for a player for ranked it gives me a list of like 10 people with 0 bars. Zuh. Every time I want to get into this the online just fucks it all up.

Quickest way to get a match seems to come from making your own lobby.
If you try to join a random one you'll likely end up playing musical chairs for a few minutes before you get an actual match.
I'd stay away from ranked for now if you are experiencing unusually high delay.

Be a good guy and just make a room for 2 when you do this, unless you're willing to host for extended periods. Another guy and I tried to play out a match in three separate rooms in a row and each one closed before we got to our final round.
Don't think it's up on youtube yet.
For archive, top 8 stream start with an Elphelt match, and another one 21 minutes in: http://www.twitch.tv/funkyp/v/3679778
Semifinals were a much better showcase for her, though.
Post top 8 stream is basically 2 hours of MMs/casuals with the two Elphelt players from top 8: http://www.twitch.tv/funkyp/v/3680017

After reading on it that would make sense. I didn't even know what a Benten was.

Hey guys
If I have the JP game, can I buy the color add-ons from the Hong Kong store and have it work on my copy?
Also random; if I have the JP copy of Gundam Full Boost and try to do the same thing "buy an extra character" from the HK store, will if work on my JP copy?

If I remember right this should work, at least for Gundam.
