Played a few online matches, the lag was kinda rough and wish I could play against someone with a better connection.
However! I had a surprising ammount of fun. I still need to play more games though to figure out if its really better for me than Persona or not lol.

Man these tier dudes just don't know about my Ino.
Hey Q I'm free to teach you the game next weekend so let's play then.

Probably the latter.
Dunno why you wouldn't import if you were already going to buy digitally anyway; paying $7 to play two weeks earlier seems like a no-brainer once the full dual language patch was known.

Wasn't going to buy digital until the limited edition was delayed, reconsidered it and figured I didn't really need the extra stuff anyways. I generally don't go digital for retail games but the download is way smaller than expected.
Gonna use the extra time before release to
attempt to

Haven't played GG in ages. Is Venom still same-ish?

You probably need to learn the YRC gimmicks. The game teachs you a stinger aim into a knock down combo for 25 meter haha. It's pretty much unreactable, if they weren't already blocking then they get hit and you convert into a combo + ball setup, or more damge, for 25 meter.
Oh but the one thing I really like about the lobby system in Xrd is just how fast it is. I don't know if its just because everyone is on a digital copy or there are fewer menus but there is only a few secconds delay between the match ending and starting up the next one. In P4AU it took forever for the person to get through the match end menu, the score/XP screen then for their avatar to update with the winstreak count and only then you being able to get on the cap again to start up the next match.

Makes sense, how else would he have been able to handle Necro and Undine while slamming dizzy LOLOLOL
Btw anyone want to play
Yeah,
he would need that durability. It was definitely the most unexpected and badass part of the story mode for me. I'm just wondering what part it will play in the next game's story, since it's a big development imo.
A little different. Some of his formations are different, he has a new (better) j.D. If you're used to Accent Core, no more Dubious Curve, he has QV instead.
I'd still say he's not that hard to learn regarding combos though, so you should be fine.

The wait for the game is gonna kill me, since they delayed the LE in NA.

any notable elphelt players to watch? i've been trying the lame game and it's not really working heh. i should probably just swap to faust.
Not much yet. Random netplay vids, but no videos of pros using her yet.
I've been using her and she has some nice pressure after oki, safejumps, fuzzies, an unblockable setup, and so forth. Grenades is probably her best tool, and her shotgun stance is pretty good when paired with it or just during certain combos.
I don't find her as a character that can lame it out. She wants to stay in and keep pressure, and her keepaway isn't that great.
When jumpcanceling moves for combos, the timing is a link. While you're able to buffer in your jump for the cancel, since you haven't yet jumped, you can not buffer in your followup attack. You have to time your attack for when your character actually does the jump. The timing for the attack is a link.
I piano across Heavy, Slash, and Kick. I try to time my piano slightly before the attack would hit me. For this, you kinda have to know the combo you're getting hit by.
Also, back and forward tech points are sooner than the neutral tech point.

Man, thanks to the input buffers this game is actually pretty playable for me on pad. It almost feels like Virtual Fighter how early you can key in the combos lol
Ino's options just seem nuts, but I haven't checked out much footage yet. And people said she was even better before?

My main local comp is a Venom and he says the moves timings all feel exactly the same (long time AC player). One things that affects matches more than you'd think is that his dive kick no longer hits behind him. I want to say he has his #R formations.
Purely move dependent - if you traded a move that would normally stagger (usually on counter hit which applies to trades), your opponent would still stagger.
Thanks for the info!

Nope they are all different by one ball placement. Dustloop and 4Gamer wiki should have them up as a reference.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but you can plink Sol's dustloop with the taunt button. Makes it much easier.
Oh, i have the artbook these are from. I don't feel so burned now about EU getting a better pre-order :x

Easiest way to go into the dustloop is to do something into 6P > 5HS then jump cancel into the dustloop. And no, you don't have to superjump it in this game.

So I played it on PS3 and I'm pretty much interested in the game, at least I do not suck with Chipp I think, is it already confirmed that this game comes out on PS4 and PS3 on the 17th December in Europe?
Looking like digital only, but yeah

Alright, well not a problem for that this game is only digital, had the intention to buy it this way anyway then, but lets see next week.
Thanks for the info.
If it doesn't you can just get the US version instead.
are you dashing into the 6H AND the 5K?

Well that's right, I would even pay less, because € and $ stuff.
BTW is it normal that the trophies are still in Japanese even if you have the English patch for the game?

Yeah, this is the first Guilty Gear that I've played and it way way more approachable than I expected. I've found performing combos to more approachable than Blazblue.
Joystick motions are a tiny bit stricter than I'm use to, but I've found the buttons to be quite lenient. When hitting multiple face buttons at the same time using the ps4 pad, it always seems to register the combination of buttons that I want.
With the joystick motions, I think part of the problem is that I'm not use to the ps4 pad yet. I do think the side of the dpad are raised a bit too high, which causes me some issues. I am more accurate hitting the correct motions quicker with the vita dpad using remote play.

Are there numbers on BDC? I felt it had already been neutered a good bit by the end of GGXX's span, this doesn't feel worse so far. The air links are harder too and feels even more specific so far while my old #R combo works and does more damage w/o knockdown so I'm not clear on how worthwhile the j.2K combos are yet.

You need to microdash between 6HS and 5K so you can get c.S.
The online is kinda stupid. Player matches are seperate from the lobby system and hidden in the menu, then you have to search for the player match. They should of just made it so you can create a locked/private lobby.
Second, PS4 players can't receive or send invites to player matches. Which not only sucks for PS4 players, but confuses PS3 players who try to invite/ask for invite.

How the hell did you PM me in the chat :lol
Not sure if it's on PS3. But you bring up the list of people in a lobby, select them, then select "send message".

My only experience with GG previously was with Reload, but Ino seems to have a lot more options than then. I've just been playing around a lot with different resets and pressure strings.
I feel like I'm still in an MVC3 mindset, though. I'm trying to do funky combos by bouncing people off the top of an early EM Disruptor and stuff. I do like how much corner carry you can get with her off of simple combos. Once you're in the corner and you don't have burst, it's like 2/3rds of your health gone off a meterless reset.
I don't know if that's even good or not yet compared to the rest of the cast lol
Also, fuck Ramlethal.
I'm gonna learn Ramlethal.
