It's a -SIGN- for things to come.
Yeah, definitely. His p and K attacks aren't very good, and I haaaaate his neutral heavy slash. I wish the first part hit crouching people.
He has to do this of damage because it's so hard to get those hits. He is a beast with meter, though.
I'm curious why you think his normals suck? His 5p seems like a standard poke with above average range and 2p seems like every other characters. 6p seems like a decent anti-air normal that has upper body invuln.That normal seems really good as his main anti-air, as long as their not above you (he has Hawk Beaker for that, though that's questionable).
His K attacks don't seem too great since they are all slow, but they are still alright and serve their purpose. I wish his 2K had more gatling options but that's pretty minor complaint.
Overall, he seems like a good character who has mostly good normals, good frame data, and quirky gimmicks to get in.
For full disclosure: I haven't actually tried him out in an actual online match but from tests in the lab and watching other Sin players use him he seems alright.
Though 200 damage off a long range poke for 50% meter isn't bad.
Man if you manage to land a 2HS in the corner though, holy shit.
Pity his 2k -> 2HS is a link, going to fuck that one up alot. Think I'll stick to 2k,5k,3k,6HS instead when starting from a 2k.

I am in desperate need of a sparring partner on the east coast. I've only got about 400 matches in P4AU when it came out and didn't learn a damn thing. I am probably going need like 2000 or 3000 matches before I even start to understand what this game is about.
Alternatively is there a decent single player mode to grind stuff in besides training/combo practice? Sure a CPU opponent is entirely different but you can still get a feel for movement, spacing, hit confirms and some of the basic mechanics.

You should get cash for doing online matches. Otherwise 30 runs of arcade mode is what someone said.
The game definitely looks a lot worse than the PS4 version, but it doesn't look that bad at all, at least too me. Granted I havent played online, but I assume that in terms of visuals it's the same as having the game at performance mode. Even with its faults I'd still say this is easily the best looking fighter on PS3 and one of the best looking games on PS3 in general.
Play M.O.M. mode. It's a nice survival/RPG mode you can grind out and get used to using your character.
Am I fuckin' up or is the mission for reversal DPs hard? Had to resort to piano inputs, SF2-style to finish.
Game loaded up a remix of Ky's old theme. It was magic.
Sure, I'll play.

Hah, well you already know that on weekdays its mainly evenings for me lol.
Where in the menu is it? Is not the mission mode where they try to teach you fighting game basics like spacing and anti air lol?
Nope, It's under battle mode I think

There is something very off about the foreshortened limbs in some of those images.
Fun, but his execution requirements were above me that's for sure. Least higher than I'm willing to spend time in learning.
It feels like when somebody gets in on you, he's done. His normals have range, but they're really slow and bad up close. Yeah, especially his K attack.
My opinion is probably schewed by two things: I main chipp, and i was fighting Sols all weekend, lol. I'm probably totally off base and just need to learn him better. Still hate his HS, though. -_-
I like Sin, and I think if you can keep an opponent at optimal range, he is a beat. I just worry about what happens when somebody actually gets in on me.
Yeah, his damage output is re-fucking-diculous.

I didn't know what to expect prior to playing the story mode but I like how he turned out. His JP voice is Hikaru Midorikawa so that pretty much seals the deal for me.

So, is there a EU release date yet? I don't want to have to mess with US DLC to get a complete roster.
Well I mained him in GG:XX/AC.
He has some crazy shit now. Wall cling combos and crap, a lot more entertaining that's for sure. With that, the jump installs, low damage, and fast reaction times needed with him... I couldn't handle it, especially online.

I felt bad, because I didn't get the game after about an hour. I guess the learning curve is steeper than I thought. I don't think I will be playing online.

Lol, I don't think you should worry about it. I might be taking things too seriously or not seriously enough.
Either way I say you play the game in the way that is fun for you to play and don't worry about anything else.
Not announced for EU at all yet.
not really sure he has a couple of easy combos and big damage from grabs but you really need to have top notch fundamentals to make him work.
I've had good experiences, 4 frame lag seems to be playable more than that it gets a bit worse but doable. And yes there's a current bug that can cause desyncs if people use different voices.
really?
At least from the last arcade tier list I saw, yes. (granted that was a while back, but I cant see his position changing that drastically)
Most players put him in at least B tier, but he's no Ram.
Whats the new tier list like? Anyone got a link?

Most current I could find. As always take these with a grain of salt as there is some bias with the characters they main/ have most experience against.
This was totally worth spoiling myself with.
It has made up my mind to actually get the game, next week.
That's really, really cool.
I'm tempted to main a certain person, now.
Not according to Ogawa.
Sooo... get the PS4 version, then?
I'd recommend it, yes
The PS3 version while looking very inferior to the PS4 version is no slouch in the visuals department though. Still the best looking PS3 fighter by a very wide margin imo and one of the best looking titles on the console in general.

In original AC Faust was mostly put in around B tier in most lists but we all know what happened after AC+/AC+R came out.

I could see him easily moving back top in his next list. It seems like Millia, Ram, Faust, and Zato are always going to be a lock for top tier. Unless/When changes come down that is.
Even when they do I don't see Faust and Millia ever dropping below top. I wonder how much hate I will get for still using Faust and Zato once I get the game.
