I think I recall an advertisement for Elphelt or something on the shrink wrap, but I don't remember anything saying about an included DLC code. There is no DLC code for her, but she was free the first week of release.

Sin buff's are so nice and unexpected lol. Also easier inputs don't hurt.

Yeah. It's just a matter of when right now.

It's a mixed bag. Sometimes they're way off (especially when they give multiple loketests for the same game) and sometimes they're pretty accurate.
I know games like this end up getting a lot of updates and rereleases, so with that in mind, would you guys recommend getting this game digitally or just going for physical? I know physical typically drops in price sooner, but digital for a fighter is just super convenient since it's always there. Buying updates for a digital copy sounds like less hassle than buying updated rereleases too... I'm torn.
I'm very happy looking at the patch notes overall. I'm even honestly happy about the blitzshield countering against close projectile hits, and I probably spammed VCL YRC's more than any I-No player out there. But...
...yeah, one or maybe two of those nerfs to prevent the j.D loops would've been fine, but all three seems excessive. The execution-junkie in me had secretly wished they would make green daruo more challenging though, as I got bored with her when I noticed I was never missing it despite minimal practice. (Asking for higher-execution in fighting games makes me a horrible person.)
I expected Ram to get nerfed, but not like this

The team was a little different when they were loktesting +R, but it took multiple revisions spread across several months. The first loktest dreamed pretty big (if you hated Zappa's final version of sword summon, the early loktest ones would've made you abandon anime), but they did well to respond to feedback and patiently rework things.
Xrd, however, is a much wider release, akin to BlazBlue, which never seemed to get the same long-loktest-period treatment.

Fuck yeah Zato nerfs and decreases in Pineberry effectiveness. Kind of salty that Pot didn't get his command grab changed to the 623K motion like May to combat the hilarious amount of move overlap but hopefully "Inputs for certain command moves such as Special Moves and Overdrive Attacks have been made easier." means that the noteworthy stupid motions that still exist in the game will be more lenient in terms of their execution.
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of being able to YRC Trishula though.

Its been like a year since the arcade release though, Im actually more surprised that this loketest didn't come with the announcement of more playable characters so at the very least I think we're safe in assuming that an "Extend" is still more than a few months out.
What are the unlisted nerfs? I've only read about GMW getting a damage nerf so far.
Bag head has more start-up. J.K and 6HS prorate damage more. Command throw has longer recovery. Can't remember if I saw anything else.
not too torn up about Love but come on. Faust's damage is pretty tame as most his bnbs barely break 150
Yeah, I'm not too thrilled. The agreed upon top five are all nerfed in various ways. Faust was the worst of the five though.
Blitz shield working on projectiles seems like a big nerf to projectile-based oki and if the reversal window has really been lengthened (or otherwise made easier through a more lenient input buffer), oki taking another hut there too. Hmmm...

Anyone here willing to play with a complete newbie sometime this weekend? I just now got time to sit down and play this and I had a huge amount of fun online. Still figuring out the flow and what not of the game but I'm digging it. Also in a character crisis a bit trying to figure out who I like.
On PS3, South East USA (Georgia) btw.

What is Attack Level?
Did Potemkin get a new move?!
Did Potemkin get a new move?!
Each attack has a level to categorize its blockstun, hitstun, and hitstop. For this game, there are 5 attack levels, 0-4.

Projectile based setplay for sure, but if you're using meaty normals you can still make them guess high/low
