consoles are dead in Japan rite?
I wonder if they'll try to recoup with 3DS / Vita / iOS releases.
Vita's the only platform out of those that makes sense. The rest would be some BlazyBloo nonsense.
BBCP did well last year and P4AU did well just this year, so it's not like the PS3 platform is holding the game back.
The Vita version of the Unreal Engine is total garbage so I can't see a Vita port of Xrd ever happening, unfortunately.
Unless they do something crazy like make real sprites and port the game to the BlazBlue engine, which is probably too much work for them to be able to justify the cost.

It could, it would just look like utter shit.

From what I can tell its this. Arcsys managed to establish a franchise that's popular because of the characters/voice actors/whatever. Getting by on the same thing other moe, licensed character good merchedise spewing fracnhises do.
So what effect does the low sales of Xrd have on a possible new standalone update? That is always a concern with Arcsys fighters. A new standalone with old favorites sooner? More DLC likely? An update less likely/later overall?
Still getting the game somehow, but I'm more likely to Gamefly than purchase (digitally) if they're more likely to push out a new disc update with new characters sooner as a result.

Did any of you guys had a problem with gamepad like this?
I just found a review from Amazon JP that the gamepad can be broken in just a few hour.
Mine haven't arrive yet but I'm just afraid about this.

Yeah I read the dpad on the LE fightpad is, like, glued on or something. That's a real shame.
Not the first time someone mentioned it in this thread. Don't think someone has had it first hand here.
Knockdowns or stray hits into high-low reversal-safe bullshit? Probably Millia or Ramlethal is the closest, though Ram is more setup-heavy.
Millia. Unreactable mixups into knockdown. That and you don't have to worry about tricky movement or resources.
its a common problem. The d pad isnt secured on the shaft correctly. I believe its glued on.
This is what happens when they don't put Bridget in. *Kappa*

Having to wait until the 23rd for my copy is going to be hard...
The pad hasn't broken on me yet, I've played for about 3 hours now. At this point I'm planning on having my 360 stick dual modded for PS4 so if it breaks, it would be a bummer but I'm finding that I can't play too well anyway with the pad.

Those sales numbers for GGXRD are not from a full week. sold 40k in 3 days.

I-No on the Izayoi front, very similar style of movement and mixup game (when Izayoi is in her transformed mode). The closest analog to Hazama's style of hook dashes is probably Bedman's projectile -> teleport followup, they're very different in terms of overall movement though and that example is probably more Izayoi like in comparison. No one quite screams Hazama to me.
Almost every game comes out on Thursday in Japan. None of the first week figures you'll see are from a full week.

It's really weird, it can some how brute force a stable connection across continents as long as both players internet connection is good. I've gotten stable 5f delay with Japan while people with shitty internet over here in NA are like fluctuating 4-7f.
So good connections are really good, bad connections are really bad.
What the above said. It doesn't work like that, with exceptions like Nintendo games or Monster Hunter.

When did you place your order?
That's intentional though. It's imitating the 2D GG look where there was a low amount animation frames.
Least if I'm understanding what he's trying to say.

The only FGs you can say 'animate' at 60fps without having to go into semantics are the full 3D fighters like Soul Caliber, Tekken, Dead or Alive, etc.
Hand-animated stuff(and Guilty Gear in particular is big on low volume, high movement frames) is never realistically drawn to show 60 unique frames per second, but it is animated to match 60fps timing in this case.
That feel when you're stuck at school studying for exams and the only Xrd related thing you can do is watch hours of Ramlethal match vids. Oh well. I already feel like I'm leveling up my game by watching these though. So many setups/combos that I didnt know about, not to mention MU info.
Axl would be the closest to Hazama I think. Their way of dealing dmg is exactly the same (zoning with long range normals/specials) and I would assume their core gameplan is as well.

The hitboxes on both moves were nerfed due to the easier input IIRC. But yeah, it's so easy to harass people with HCL/VCL YRC now and it's awesome.
Their gameplan and dealing damage isn't similar actually but completely different.
Yes. The game world updates at 60 FPS but the 3D animation is mostly 15 FPS with no frame interpolation, to simulate a traditional anime style.
Depends... why do you enjoy playing as them?
Oh, what makes them different? I always thought of Hazama as BB's Axl.

One has Dhalsim limb zoning and the other has amazing neutral, movement and mix up?
I think I-No or Ramlethal would be a decent fit for you.
I-No's projectiles sort of function similar to Hazama's chains and her flying run doesn't need explanation. She's a better Izayoi with much better neutral.
Ramlethal is more like Mu imo but she has a playstyle that fits well with Hazama players. Her P/K strings are good for pressure, her swords can harass from full screen, she has a command grab and is very oppressive once she sets up.
