Sol mirrors seem dumb, I love it.
Sorry for being a scrub, the netcode wasn't helping any.
The room is still open in A1 sector 5 if anyone wants to jump in. I'll probably stick to spectating for now.
Good to know. When I saw pictures of people getting the LE box and saw it was small, I was worried the book would practically be an afterthought. Looking forward to digging through it.
Fear not, you are not a scrub. You've been selling yourself a bit short. The connection was definitely pretty bleh, but I could tell you made correct decisions pretty often. Dropping any sort of pick ups or otherwise doing awkward things is a side effect of bad connection.. I kinda derped a little bit myself.
Ha, with Bedman? I don't think I realized that either.

I love the fact that you used the blue Sol color. Red vs Blue dragon install the best.
I was pretty bitter that he didn't have a blue color by default and I had to buy the DLC. It's not the same blue I used in +R, but at least I got some kinda bone thrown at me. Blue DI is super cool. I wish Sol had like, a purple or pink now.

Just a super tiny taste, I don't want to post anymore because this is alone is probably bad enough as it is and they probably wont like me doing it xD
But this is literally a mega small taste of what's in here. Some pages are full of art others are full of text with history and terms. It's a really solid tiny book.
This is by far one of the best Limited Edition bonuses I have ever gotten.

It's a keychain of his belt buckle. Would have loved a real one though.
Also almost every GS besides mine got the LE in T_T
Nice, I'm sold! I'd ordered the LE just to give them more money with low expectations after getting SF4, BBCT, P4U2, and KoF13 LEs and having no use for the extras but had been attempting to go 100% digital this gen.
Starting to figure out how to use May's hoop dolphins to extend combos and do mixups on the opponent's wakeup. Pretty much any knockdown like 3K or 2D or Counter Hit 2HS etc. leads to an air combo with K or HS dolphin support.
Also, the following combo does STUPID damage if you manage to build full tension:
S Horizontal Dolphin > RC > 6HS (full charge) > S Horizontal Dolphin > RC > 6HS (full charge) > HS Horizontal Dolphin.
Get a wall-splat and it's good game. Nearly impossible to do online, though, as it requires that the RCs be activated the INSTANT that Mr. Dolphin hits so that you are carried forward slightly to get in range for the second 6HS. So I usually try to do a simple Starter Combo > S Horizontal Dolphin > RC > Dust for easy damage.
Mr. Otter is becoming a good friend of mine, too, attacking the opponent on his/her wakeup with P Beach Ball > Super Jump > Ball Bounce > 2HS > whatever.

Yeah I was just trying to do too many things when I was playing chipp which made my gameplay very one dimensional. The reason I like GG so much is because it's so fun to just play the game how you want to play it. You don't need to be super optimum with your character (It would help with winning though) to have fun and each character is so different that you can be try out different styles of play. I still want to get good at chipp but don't think I will be able to do that with the current netcode.
I'm in the same boat as you haha. During my offline sessions with my friends I do decent/well with Chipp. I got his pressure down/combos and when I get a knockdown I am decent at his Faultless Defence Cancel mixups. I tried using Sin online but found him pretty boring. I also thought that he would be similar to High Order Sol since they sorta have the same special mechanic but his gameplan and normals are very different. I am liking Elphelt so I will be trying her out during my online sessions.
I bought the JP LE, the pad is a piece of shit. D-pad broke off in just a few hours of play and the whole thing felt kinda like the cheapest plastic. Luckily I just figured I'd use the PCB and get my stick modded for PS4. I should've had it today but it looks like it's still in the mail.
That's exactly why I want the pad. I have an empty case I want to fill. lol

Jonio-san guy who runs an early morning stream of the arcade version of the game. Often gets notable japanese players to pop up and show everyone how the game's really meant to be played. Occasionally has Japanese commentary.
I just came back to this thread to post that one lol how could I forget, I watch it every night.

Can't fuckin wait to get my LE for Christmas. It looks even better than expected and I want that goddamn keychain.
Hey Aksys, you (and other publishers) should make digital variants of your LEs that contain a voucher code for the game instead of a retail copy, for those of us who want to get your cool LEs but don't want our games on plastic discs.
You know, like Ubisoft did for the Child of Light physical release, but as an option alongside the "normal" LE.

I'm a complete noob right now but I wanna main May so thanks for these (not ready for big combos yet but im writing them down)...If you delay the dolphin and air dash to the other side of the opponent can you trap them for a guaranteed hit? Unless they dodge of course.
I'm fiending to play this game but online sucks and I have no community near me... HALP... ME
I think like 8 per characters including christmas and plus colors, i can't find the link to them.

How many additional colors are there per characters? Pics?
Looks like 6 not including DLC.

Rhapsody, help me understand something. I see Ogawa throw drills out all the time, even when Eddie isn't around. Why isn't he afraid of people punishing him when they whiff, and why don't I see maybe people punish the whiff? I feel like these are Dormammu Purifications, so I am scared to throw them out in the neutral.
Edit: Also, another question on the neutral:
I have Eddie out, and I have S held for an emergency antiair. I want to pressure with the HS drill, but if I miss I don't want to let go of HS because it will move Eddie forward into danger. Do I just need to accept the fact that I only get one good drill after summoning Eddie unless it gets blocked and I can go on the offensive?

I'll probably bite, provided they're not half all-white/black/gold or whatever.
go here, select your char and they will show you all the colors. some chars will have special colors on their attack moves like eddie drills, ino's notes, etc.

The mission on combo teching in the game actively shows how stupid this mechanic is and why BBCP and P4A did away with it. I'm literally pianoing this input and can't get the tech half the time. Lol.

You don't want to tech instantly in a lot of cases in GG
Make sure you're holding a direction when you try to tech. Side techs are available earlier than neutral techs.
I assume the drills are at least close to them, even if they're whiffing. Honestly I think it's just because he's a good player and is willing to take the risks for the high reward to buy time. It's possible that he accidentally whiffed, but he usually does it close enough to where the opponent can't easily get around it. If you're fullscreen, S Drill isn't that bad to negate them from spamming projectiles too.
For your other part, just press and hold HS during HS Drill, then release S before releasing HS.
And no, you don't need one good drill to go on the offensive. Assuming I'm at full screen, I will alternate between HS drill, S Shadow spaced fairly far behind the drill, then dash in, HS drill, etc. It keeps them somewhat locked in black as you start going in.
Assuming I wasn't full screen, you can just to S or K Shadow after drill and pressure off of that.
10 songs, most are pretty badass but they're all vocal and i'm not a huge fan of the engrish.
edit: anyone know where I can find the song that plays in the art gallery cause that ones awesome.

Use VCL for oki too. It's really good if you airdash and go for left/right mixups and YRC it. It beats Blitz Shield and it catches most backdashes IIRC.
You can FD cancel the startup of her j.D for some mixups too. Kinda hard to do unless you use your burst though.

And that's fine, I can appreciate that. It doesn't change that the method of teching is stupid in its current state. Really hope that the inevitable Xrd revision addresses that.
Noted.
