Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator

>did you buy it?
>what are your thoughts?
>of the new characters, who do you like most?

I really want to make Jam work, but she seems like way too much effort for way too little payoff. I LOVE using Kum though. She is tons of fun and reminds me a lot of SF in the way you play her neutral. Her super is basically all versions of Aegis Reflector combined too. Raven is cool, but honestly the projectile ruins him for me. I'm just so sick of Xrd being all about oki projectile setplay. It's really boring and I feel like Raven could have been a lot cooler if he had a different special move instead of the projectile. At least Kum's is interesting.

As for the game itself, it's still Xrd and it's still fun though I would like to see some rebalancing alongside Dizzy's addition. It's fun playing the new characters as the game feels fresh again, but then I also ended up fighting tryhards using Elphelt and Johnny and already the fun was starting to wear off.

I will say though that the game already feels dead. It has more players than Xrd did at the end of its lifespan, but not by much more, which is a really bad sign imo. It's not too hard to find games right now, but it feels like day one Xrd again which I know what that means: by the end of this week or next week most people will have stopped playing already.

Hell I already see a lot of the same exact people that played Xrd and were on every time I signed on. The community for online Arcs System Works games just does not grow and all you'll see are complete novices or gods.

whats the difference between this and the last 1? 3 new characters?

It's got 5 and another one coming.
Raven, Kum, Johnny, Jam, Jack-o, Dizzy soon.

I'm having a ton of fun with it as someone who does not really know how to play fighting games that much. Although I do agree that it feels like it'll die pretty quickly, which is a shame, because it's god damned good.

>but then I also ended up fighting tryhards using Elphelt and Johnny
>Johnny
Did I miss something?

who is that in the OP image

Sol Goodguy

I will not buy a thing until my man Testamen is in. No respect for the OG.

cool, ill probably wait for a price drop

Who is the last DLC character?
Baiken or Zappa? Zappa had a huge role in the story mode

>not yet ;_;
>i want to see story mode already
>raven

The DLC is free for the first couple of weeks. I waited on Sign myself and ended up paying almost full price for the game because I wanted all of the characters. More people are going to be online early on too.

I don't think there is going to be another DLC character, but if there is I hope it isn't Zappa. Robo-Ky or Baiken please.

Does Raven seriously get a boner with full meter?

>Robo-Ky
He'd be nice. And give him an actual fucking theme this time.

>Baiken
I forever bitch they didn't take the perfect chance to make her a secret boss again.

There were 4 locked characters in the character selection.
3 are Raven, Kum and Dizzy

Here's the first half of story mode
mega.nz/#!xI8mnaKT!iYae0h9Ztbqw7fBYDZtHSg2cFt_PD-Mv2r4OqsP6G48

I might have the full thing ready in a few hours so stay alive

Someone posted a pic in the thread this morning.

Jhonny is top tier? Above Elphelt? Where have you been famillia?

I don't keep up with tiers user. I honestly didn't know.

HEY SOMEONE SAVED MY IMAGE
feels good to be a ravenfag

Also Jam has different panties depending on the day of the week.

Really. Any tips against fucking Johnny or Axl?
They just fucking juggle me, and are fast, and have long range, and their ovedrives shit on everything. FUCK.

I use Jam and May.

Please post the second half
I bought the SEA version since the physical copies are already sold but the SEA PSN hasn't updated yet so the game wasn't patched and I can't watch the second half of story mode.

Fair. But yea, not only is JHONNY crazy strong, but he's coolguy edgehard mcbadass so even shitters are spamming him. It's gonna be a long season.

It had 3 locks and the random select icon. We don't know for sure that the unsymmetrically placed random select means that we'll get another DLC character. It would certainly be great if we did, but I don't think Arcsys has said anything to suggest it.

Sorry, I didn't save it. I looked up the thread in the archive. I mentally saved it, I suppose, so there's that.

>Baiken
It still hurts

i love you user

JHONNY has no mixups or wake up. So, block against him and beat him up on the way in, and then bully him if you get a knockdown.

I never had a problem with Elphet and Johnny. Even when my shit gets kicked in by Johnny I don't mind since I just like seeing the character in action. Biggest personal thing that's driving me crazy is all the fucking Raven players out there. He's a tricky character to figure out fighting at first, but he does have his actual large windows to attack which is why I'm not saying he's cheap or anything. However win or lose, I'm just sick that every other match is against him. He really does feel like the new Terumi of Guilty Gear just from the sheer volume of people playing him. Thankfully though I don't absolutely hate Raven as a character like Terumi and think he's cool, but still the Raven parade is really making my patience thin.

If it makes you feel any better she's pretty much guaranteed to get in with the next wave of returning characters. But we'll probably have to wait for the next game for that to happen.

o-oh
feels...okay then i guess

Most likely in the next game, since the returning NPCs that appeared in Sign (Johnny and Dizzy) ended up being playable in Revelator. If there's three returning characters in Xrd 3 relating to their appearance in story mode (Baiken, Zappa and Robo-Ky) that'd also match up nicely with the three returning characters in Revelator (Johnny, Jam and Dizzy)

Kum Haecute

CUTE

Yeah but you can pick up the DLC for free now, and tie it to your account for later.

He has a slash that, if I block it, he can walk and grab me, throws me and here comes the juggling again.

I sometimes can break of this with a horizontal SLASH dolphin. Sometimes.

I'm pretty bad and I can't play this game with a fight stick, just can't do inputs fast enough, with a pad, I can do inputs fast enough but I mess them up a lot too, like often accidentally triggering z-motion stuff and all that.

what should i do

I feel you. I can't imagine what it would be like if Slayer wasn't in the game even if he's nowhere near as good as he was before. I really want remaining vets back like Baiken and Testament. I can imagine maining those two for over a decade only to get stomach punched finding out they're not in the new game. So I hope you get him back as soon as possible.

When is best boy going to be playable?

Git gud, and I don't even mean that in the meme way. Practice drills! Guilty Gear has pretty strict inputs, it doesn't have shortcuts like Street Fighter so the only real way is to practice. Remember that as good as it is, a stick's just a controller; it's not going to make you better at inputs just like how buying a $150 steering wheel won't make you better at navigating tight corners in a racing game.

Why cat ears?

why is he a fucking neko

I was supposed to get it yesterday but my local store had shipment problems so I wont be getting it until Friday now.
Fuckin gay


Cant wait to use Johnny though, Kum looks like tons of fun

Gear cells making him a human-animal hybrid or something, probably

ahhhh, i like to play Chipp too mostly, so I've got to go fast on fast. d-pad hurts my thumb. at least my stick feels good with street fighter.

If he walks up and grabs you that means you weren't stuck in block stun anymore. If you think he's trying to walk up and grab you, you can throw out a fast normal and catch him.

He's the best in the game by far. Only Elphelt can compete with him he's broken as fuck. Great range, ridiculous damage output, great meter options, unblockable setups, and safe as fuck long range normals. The dude is godlike.

>No mixup

Doesnt he have Zweihander YRC>Air Mist Finer>*? He can also over shoot Zweihander YRC into air backdash crossup

It's from an early working version of Xrd. Back then Sol was still using his pachinko outfit, which is why it appears like that in story mode.

Anyway the character was going to be some dude pretending to be Sol. He was going to be like a Dan version of Sol. I'm actually really bummed he never made it in. I would love for him and Robo Ky to come into the game at the same time and work together.

why not

Sin can out range and out damage him though

well that's disappointing

and I'm still salty on there being no dub

GABRIEL WHEN?

fukin NOICE

Thanks user

Well when using Jam you're fucked no matter what. She's hands down the worst character in the game and has absolutely nothing going for her.

Against Axl you just need to be aware that he has strong AA and has a good DP. A lot of his pressure tools and mixups are gimmicky. As an Axl main, I can say that the best way to deal with him would be to use him in training mode and learn what normals actually can chain into each other. Once you know that you can have a much easier time knowing when and what to block against him.

Also the recovery is quite high for his long ranged moves so if he ever whiffs something make sure you immediately close the gap.

Then maybe I just suck at it, cause I try everything, a Mr Dolphin, weak Punches and nothing.
He grabs my shit, throws my shit, juggles my shit.

Thanks anyway.

i'm salty too user. not really mad, just salty.
sign's dub was actually pretty decent.

>BRING OUT THE CHEF

>and I'm still salty on there being no dub
They decided to not include one? Thank fuck
This is NOT some "muh superior Blazblue" or anything, but they really didn't try on GG's dub in comparison. I have no idea why they just half-assed it. It made me sad I couldn't hear well dubbed Ky or Sin.

>Well when using Jam you're fucked no matter what.

Well, fuck.

DELETE THIS
i watched story mode with the dub does that make me a pleb

>Raven in GG2 and as a story character in XX
>cool as fuck, mysterious, really neat design with a rocking mask and voice in GG2
>Raven in Revelator
>stupid looking Terumi reject with a wacky so random haha poses and attacks
>face is just a bunch of silly looking reaction images
>lost all his coolness to appeal to jojo and terumi fags

Character annihilation is never a good thing

Ky and Sin were good though. Potemkin and Sol were the ones I couldn't stand.

>Sol
Yeah. He had the worse VA.

He's still a serious character

Maybe it's because the cutscenes of the game like the story line were rushed due to deadline. There were some bugs in the story mode like people mouths not moving when talking and characters just fixing together in the background. The Japanese version didn't even come out with a full story mode and had chapters patched in after release.

Elph best dub

I thought Potemkin's voice acting was actually pretty solid, just miscast.

Well he's still that same character as he was before in story mode still being the stoic he is. It's just in fights he's all goofy and shit.

For me it was almost everyone. Ramlethal stuck out the worst since her sub fit her so well.

Loved Bedman, although it was really just your standard Lowenthal performance.

I agree. BB's dub is one of the best I've seen in a video game when localizing a game. They really went all out to make sure it is an enjoyable experience and I vastly prefer it to the Japanese voices.

I was excited for GG to get the same treatment, but holy shit it was pretty damn bad. It got PS2 dub treatment. They hardly tried at all. The translations were iffy, there was spelling and grammar issues in the text, and the voicework was shit. The casting was bad with only a few of the characters being good voices. Plus, Venom. HOLY SHIT VENOM

Sin's relationship with Sol is completely different in the dub. The way they translated it was shit and failed to capture any of the nuances. It makes him sound like some stuckup punk going with Sol just to avoid his father, but in the Japanese version you get a much better sense that they do have a father/son or mentor relationship.

Dub Sol in general completely changes the character

jesus fucking christ for the millionth time he was always a masochist stop with this shitty bait

My fucking nigga.
That's exactly how I feel about everything, from liking BB's dub to Venom.

Objectively speaking, SIGN's dub was not really good.

Like at all - EXCEPT for Slayer and Axl's voices which were perfect.

Most others were not bad, with Sol and Ram being the absolutely disgusting exceptions

But it was good enough to perfectly match the silliness of the story and I found it super enjoyable

Now that's gone and a bunch of the new chracters in Revelator have ear shattering voices (Jack-O and Jam are so fucking annoying and this is on top of Elphelt)

And new JP Slayer is nothing compared to the original

Why the fuck can't ArcSys just do a character-specific voice toggle like in SFIV?

I'll give Ram points for trying. And yeah, Lowenthal is always pretty great.

>Dub Sol
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHY DIDN'T THEY STICK WITH OVERTURE'S VOICE

SSSSSSSSSSSSEEEET

Slayer's dub was 10/10 I liked it so much.

I know Elphelt's dub is pretty mixed around here. But I liked it too.

maybe in the story, but they ruined him in game. i was excited to play as him as he was quite cool in GG2

Potemkin's voice shows they completely failed to grasp the basic point of the character.

>supposed to look like some fucked up buff lackey/goon monster guy
>voice is supposed to fit the appearance
>the point is that he's actually really sophisticated and intelligent, and you get to understand that from his dialogue and mannerisms

The dub just has him sound like a sophisticated intelligent guy. It's a great performance, but poor casting. It's kinda like how dub Faust fails to have his serious voice, which is a bad issue. He needs to be able to contrast his goofyness with a serious voice during the situations that call for it. He still sounds like a fucking clown even in the serious moments.

I could go on and on about how bad the dub was. Slayer's voice was stupid as fuck too. The accent wasn't needed and it makes him not even sound like an old gentlemen anymore. I-No and Millia have the same VA and she sounds almost exactly the same for both though she does a good job. Johnny's voice is stupid ans having him share a VA with Axl and Q was a bad idea, especially since that VA is infamous for approaching every single character the exact same way.

>people disliking Rams dub
What the fuck? She sounds like a shitty deadpan Loli in Jap.

I want to see Jacko dubbed since she constantly goes from Ditsy to normal. It's like Trinity done better

Funny that Jack O almost never used the child voice in Revelator's story mode, but good thing for you is now That she's Aria, I'm sure she's going to only use the mature voice in the next game which will be nice.

Also I have no idea what they were thinking with Sol, when I pictured what would Sol's voice would be like in english I would think of the VA for Guts in Berserk's dub, not a god damn drill sergeant.

Yes he was a masochist, but that didn't mean he had to be so stupid. There is something demented about someone with spikes and shit through their body who desires grotesque pain. Raven in game is just some goofy dumb shit doing funny poses and dances saying OH MAN I LOVE THE PAIN XDDDD

Basically one can be intimidating/offputting/scary and the other is for comedic purposes. They switched him from the former in favor of the later.

don't kid yourself aksys would fuck up jack-o's voice so bad

When's the PC release?

Is this coming to the PC as well? Or, should I cave in and buy BlazBlue CPE?

Believe it or not, but GG2's Sol was voiced by Troy Baker. He did a great job as Sol, but for obvious reasons there is no way they could have brought him back

Give it several months to a year. Aksys has been bringing them to PC albeit very delayed.

It'll come, but it's not announced yet. So I don't know when it will be since Arcsystems is making this push for PC now. Maybe in 6 months we'll hear something.

he danced in overture, and he's still very serious in story mode, or pretty much anywhere out of battle.
...have you watched story mode?

Wasn't it something like he never turned himself into a gear but did a number of procedures/transfusions from things in the backyard, sourced by raven iirc, to keep him alive over the years and these procedures had various adverse effects on his body? If he was using animals or monsters or whatever, maybe that's the result. It would explain the sort of hodgepodge mix of features.

The last GG game I played was AC and some of AC+R. I absolutely loved them and was going to buy SIGN, but none of my favourites returned and I knew they were going to push out a new version, so I thought I might as well wait for that to come out and hope they include my characters. It doesn't, but the game still looks fun as fuck. Seems to have really great features like the lobby system, good netcode and general great presentation.
Should I cave in, Sup Forums?

...That's kind of sad
I feel bad for That Man, I hope he'll be okay.

My IRL friends quit fightan games, only play SFv, or only play Sm4sh, so even though I really really want to, I will probably not get a chance to play Revelator. Same story with KOF 14 too. I don't want to be an online warrior.

main?

you need far better friends

>playing a dead fishing simulator

sasuga animeshitters

I main testament because I love nature. Trees, spiderwebs, crocodiles, badlands loops. You name it.

His theme is always ky's theme bust more busted up aside from the Korean soundtrack with Vortex infinitum, that's better than Ky's Korean theme

Who are the characters? If you say Dizzy is one of them she is going to be dlc for this game, by my guess at EVO. If it's Baiken, Robo Ky or Zappa, all three showed up quite a lot in the story mode so they have the biggest chance in being playable in the next game or maybe even this one if the rumor of another dlc character is true. It's up to you since there are new characters you can try out that might tickle your fancy.

Fuck me I fell for their trap. I'm somehow addicted to fishing. I hope they expand the minigame to make it deeper in the future. It's such a good time waster while waiting for ranked matches

looks like someone was on the naughty list

That was only in the older GG2 version right?

I'm taking about his AC+ theme where it's literally just background noise.

Or am I just being silly again?
