[Rutger]

Aw, I just added the changes to my post too. Oh well.


Here's the mentality behind the changes if anyone wants to know. Also translated by Dream Maker.

Translations of the character pages done, link here : http://www.dustloop.com/forums/show...-to-be-shown-at-AOU2012&p=1333839#post1333839

Also Arisaka gives some explanations on the changes here and what they are aiming to, rough translation of what he wrote : http://www.guiltygearx.com/staff/

"3 main concepts for this new version :

- Giving weak characters the tools to fight
- Image change for the stronger ones
- All this while preserving what makes each character unique

It's sad to say, but in the previous version some chars had not enough power, so for them to fight the overpowered guys we didn't back down on giving them new weapons. For the others, those for who we did too much or those who were thought to have gone too far away from their base concept, we decided to proceed to a drastic change of their image (including Kliff and Justice).

Now every character should be able to fight properly.

We are looking forward to the new strategies and tactics that the players will find."

And there will be a loketest on June 2-3.


Even better, here is the PV with annotations listing the changes.

"New 2H airbone : return of the pre slash old jump HS"


I haven't played Guilty Gear in a good while, but does that mean the air attack where it sort of turns into the "wing-shaped hair" has gone back into the "hair spinning multi-hit" attack?

 

[Lythium]

If you watch the video, it shows most, if not all the changes.

 

[LivewiresXe]

*Gasp* There's a VIDEO of the changes? Oh my word.

 

[Lythium]

Rutger linked to it in an earlier post.

I don't know if it has all the changes, but it seems to have most of the changes that Dream Maker listed.

 

[VietGeek]

Sadly, I'm gonna pick up this game.

...wait...what?

don't worry guys, i'll try to get gold airthrows and combo afterward

then rage and play melty anyway

and dashdance to victory with a character with no dash

or something like that

obv

 

[Minato]

*Gasp* There's a VIDEO of the changes? Oh my word.

Lythium, Rutger, and I all linked it XD.

New moves are nice and all, but I'm curious on what other changes they made on existing moves.
The video showed some of them, but there will probably be a ton more.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I hope they tone down Justice enough for her to be playable.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, I believe Rutger quoted someone as saying that Justice and Kliff will be included in the rebalance to become playable characters.

 

[VietGeek]

That PV is for the arcade system, so I take that to be confirmation that Justice/Kliff will be legal.

That overhead Kliff did that took out 50% of the life bar though...lol...

Online lag johns will never be the same

 

[Atlus8]

I'm glad they are giving more tools to Johnny! Also, does I-No have a second air-dash or am I seeing things?!

Edit- Yup! I-no has a second air-dash! Great stuff!

 

[Rutger]

I've been messing around in GG a lot after this annoucement. I'm surprised how well I can pull off some of Chipp's FRCs considering how little I practice this game.


I decided to work on a Gulty Gear thread, this game deserves one that goes over the mechanics. So look forward to that, I should have something ready latter today. :3

 

[Lythium]

I made a GG thread ages ago, but it looks like it's gone now.

It'll be good to have a new one!

 

[vZakat]

Edit- Yup! I-no has a second air-dash! Great stuff!

I'm freaking out at how awesome having 2 airdashes is gonna be. I can barely contain my excitement.

The force break is pretty sexy too.

 

[ETWIST51294]

Well

Gotdamn.

GG rebalance.

Something to reignite my passion to play FGs.

I hope they don't **** this up somehow. (I don't think they will)

 

[Rutger]

Guilty Gear thread is made.
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=322968

It's still a work in progress but I feel I have the important stuff. I'm not sure how much further in-depth I'll go, but that doesn't matter now.

Character section feels kind of useless but I'll leave it there for now.
Anyways, fun little project that helped me refresh my knowledge of GG's mechanics.

 

[Serris]

Well, I bought SkullGirls and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition on my PS3. Also bought an HD DVR and component cables for recording stuff. I might get some Phoenix tutorial videos up for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 soon.

 

[Atlus8]

Who else is picking up VF5?!

 

[Lythium]

I think I'll try it before I buy it. I'm not a huge fan of 3D fighters, but if I like it, I'll probably pick it up.

Add it to the list of FGs I'll never play.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Who else is picking up VF5?!

Virtua....Fi....wha? Sounds vaguely familiar but can't quite put finger on it.

 

[disasterABDUL]

i got a copy of vanila vf5 for like 5 bucks a few months ago.
the game seems like its missing something to me.

as far as fighting games go i'm waiting for:
GG rebalance
Persona fighting game
TTT2

nothing else is really catching my eye. i might get DOA5 just because i like the games and boobs

 

[Serris]

I will be... when it shows up on the PlayStation Store.

You basically just listed all the fighters that I'm interested in getting, lol.

 

[Atlus8]

So I jumped on the promotion MadCatz is having on their sticks and I got mine today! I have always been playing on pad so this is gonna take some getting used to!

To start off, I played some AE and it feels so good getting in some links that I just couldn't do on a pad because of plinking!

Then I switched over to 3S and things aren't going so well! DP motions are giving me a hard time, especially since I play Yun! I would sometimes end up jumping or the shoulder won't connect! Genei Jin combos are not gonna happen any time soon!

http://shoryuken.com/2012/07/04/new...cyberconnect2-produced-by-namco-bandai-games/

New JoJo's, by Cyberconnect2.

Wait, Part 2 and Part 5!? I think I might want this. Still, it's by the Naruto people so I guess I need to see more of it first.

Looks more traditional than past CC2 fighters, so that's a good sign.
It would be nice if it ended up as fun as the Capcom JoJo game.

 

[Atlus8]

I was just thinking yesterday why aren't there more fighters using the CyberConnect 2 engine!

Anyway, don't forget to tune into tonight's stream at EVO! If you followed Floe when he played I Wanna Be The Guy then you wouldn't want to miss out on this!

[LivewiresXe]

EVO weekend starts tomorrow, peeps!


Of course...the only problem is I don't know where the links to the UStream er, Streams are.

 

[Minato]

Anyone else getting Marvel vs Capcom Origins? I probably will, even if I do own MSH and 2 copies of MvC1 already.
I suppose this is the game that Iron Galaxy was working on for Capcom. I was hoping for Darkstalkers or Alpha, but this is nice too.

Yes, yes!

[Rutger]

Xie will apparently be streaming some side games, P4A casuals, GG, BB, MB.

http://www.dustloop.com/forums/content.php?392-EVO-Stream-Schedule

http://www.twitch.tv/xiei

Pre-evo BB casuals going on now.

 

[Lythium]

Watching dat shizz. :3c

 

[lordvaati]

will be watching for AE2012, SkullGirls, PAS and Divekick.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

So they're balancing Guilty Gear Accent Core? I hope they buff Ky's damage a bit, though i'll play him if they don't. Accent core Ky-Kiske is probably my favorite iteration of the character. Lightning Javelin loops are fun.

 

[Rutger]

I am envious of everyone playing Persona 4 Arena at Evo today.


just one more month...

 

[Baskerville]

Watching the 2nd stream. Damn Kayane was goin' IN! Definite Top 8.

 

[Lythium]

I've been mostly watching the second stream as well, with Xie's stream on the side, but it keeps cutting out.

Kayane's so good, gotta love dat Viola.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Man, doing the drive to London and back is long...even over a 2 day period.

Just got in and missed all of EVO before 8:30pm EST. Hype for the rest though, and luckily Day 2 and 3 are the best ones.

 

[Lythium]

There's still lots of watching to be had.
