Sol is a lot more straightforward than Ram. Maybe I should switch .__.. I at least feel like I'm playing a fighting game with Sol, while with Ram I'm just flailing around and hoping I somehow land a random Darou.
Edit: By "playing a fighting game" I really mean "mashing 5K". :V

The journey to find 3 or 4 bar connections is long. Once you find that consistent 2f or 3f delay player though, it's not too bad especially if they're willing to play you for a while.
I just want people who look at a 0 bar and say "i'll play that" gone from the internet forever.
yes
I don't know what's in the game tutorial, but the only OSes I know about are overlapping inputs with grab (I can't believe how useful this is with j.P lol), the YRC burst bait OS, and the command grab YRC OS. I'm sure there are more, so I definitely want to hear about them too!

This is so vague.
I haven't finished the in-game tutorial.
The one thing I'll contribute is to be precise in your inputs. Particularly, throws and blitz shields. There are many times where I'll jump to throw and I'm holding diagonal, so my throw doesn't come out. Same as blitz shield... I'll forget to let go of block and a green barrier comes out instead.
Also, it is almost not worth doing a reversal from a knockdown. The input has to be on point if it is a meaty.
Yeah, 1 frame jumping, is more accurately called -1 frame jumping. Another case of poor naming and misinterpretations circulating through the community, and then sticking.
The video lumps fuzzy defense in to a form of OS, but fuzzy defense is really just a good understanding of mixups and precise game-sense.
Anyways, I just rewatched the video and see that there is some sort of guard/throw OS being demonstrated, which most definitely does not exist in Xrd. Also, it is yet to be determined if -1f jumping is in Xrd. The video is very lite on explanation and has a broken link to some article.
So what I mean here is: Yes, fuzzy defense exists. As in, rather than subjugate yourself to a blind guess, you can be a little more educated about it. You can break down a mixup, find the windows for each attack angle and time your defense against each window of attack.

GG like BB revolves around how much you know the character you are fighting more than your own. To get to a higher level you need to literally know how to play every character minus the physical execution of playing them.
Just keep playing, watching, and learning.
All (joniosan) systems go for 1.1 (livestream of 1.1 arcade)
And you're still kicking my butt what's like 0-10 match-up for Slayer with all that delay, haha. man, do i suck (._.)
*cough* How's your Elphelt?
(Nobody is ready for that. Not even Blacksnake-venom-god :|)

How do we still not have the 1.1 changelog? -_-
Japanese experts are working on it as we speak!

Cool! Hopefully PS3/PS4 cross play is better. I think majority of it was fixed but it hiccups once in a while.
Not sure if this is an earnest question rather than sarcasm, but I took 4r5's response to mean "Japanese players are still working on finding / compiling the 1.1 changes since an official changelog wasn't released."
Up in NA too now, didn't notic it updating, but I was able to change characters from the station today.
Also, with two bars connection(yellow) I'm getting 4 or 3 frames. Previously, yellow bars meant 5 or more frames, ie, unplayable!
So, uh, is Leo considered "cheap" by most players? I had a friend of mine who claims to follow BlazBlue and Guilty Gear (but doesn't actually play) tell me that Leo is kind of an OP/cheap character to use. Leo is the only character I kind of know how to play in Xrd, so I'm hoping I'm not taking advantage of some kind of cheap mechanic.
He's not "cheap", just very easy to play, and you need match-up knowledge to fight him(which include option selects).

Hmm I'm getting lower frames too but more lag spikes. Jumping between 1 and 7 sucks.

Seeing this Elphelt's zoning game make me want to pick up the character. :3

You should be able to mine right after the D launch animation finishes. Are you linking straight from -P- to D? No microdash?
If you aren't aware, the game will also show you the trials in the options, and it includes inputs (including input releases for Eddie).
I stopped doing Zato trials after 32 because they became less and less useful. Zato's final trial, for example, will absolutely never see play in a million years. It just won't. 33 is also a bad trial. Look at how little damage the drill adds. You just earned yourself an unblockable reset when you land D in the corner, why would you do this crappy combo? Ogawa always links into D off of -K- anyway with the strings he uses.
Here is what you should use, and what I should work on:
236K, j.K
Now you mix up with either:
j.S, j.H, -K-, D
Or:
2K, 2S, -K-, D
Basic high-low mixup that keeps your momentum. You can also -P- instead of -K- into a command grab, and that goes into the unblockable reset.
I hope that helps.
Yeah, I get that it's essentially useless as are most of the trials, but I find they help me learn certain nuances of a character I may not have been privy to prior. In this case, I feel like doing the Zato trials will help me get a better intuition for controlling Zato, but I'll try what you posted when I'm strictly in training mode. I'm looking at the practical and impractical stuff. Thanks.

Finally conquered the endless tedium that is M.O.M. mode.
Absolutely do not recommend that experience for anyone. Ugh.
Thank goodness it's over.
And I just won my first ever ranked match tonight... on my 6th attempt.
A more pathetic exhibition you will never see. The game even gave me a pity rank upgrade to Level 2 after my 5th straight defeat.
10 trophies away from what will still be an impossible Platinum. Although I may give online a more serious try when I get a proper arcade stick sometime down the road.

I'm like 30 and 10 or something with I-No, the online struggle is real.

I had no idea that you can complete M.O.M.
Also, Ranked is pretty bad, IMO. There's so many people who use lag tactics... and of course, they lag a LOT. I only go into ranked when I don't see any player room open and I don't want to start one myself.

I'll be able to play around 4:30 PM Pacific if you're still around. I may be playing an extended set since I'm expecting to be playing Bloodborne for a while.
