I’m a pretty casual Guilty Gear player. But what’s so cool about grabbing someones burst? Does something special happen? Do they lose their burst for the rest of the match? What is it?
What happens is that you punish them for Bursting. Like making a good read. Nowhere near as impressive as baiting a burst and punishing with a full combo. And with the RC system, you can RC air throws for combos. At least I’ve seen Sol do it.
Btw, does anyone know if anyone managed to snag the character select theme?
You steal their soul.
Because fuck that nigga he don’t get to steal my shine.
That’s why burst throwing is dope.
air throw is the only way to punish a gold burst
Are you talking about the new RC or the old one?
The new one, since you can cancel anything with it now, throws included.
Two hours of Xrd footage.
Why make a tier list if some characters havent been fully explored
Because most of the cas has been so far and alot of the cast is still really familiar to older GG players. Plus it’s gonna take a miracle for Pot to not be ass.
Fixed that for ya!
The tier list is not made by anyone on the thread, is the one made by Arcadia magazine.
But Japanese and American tier lists are never the exact same. Japan is notorious for making low tier look competitive and their outlook on the endgame is completely different from the US where its rare to see character loyalist.
So there’s no point to the insight of said character loyalists who play the game at the highest level? Would you rather look at the win ratio data of every character from every match had by every character? It should be noted even these don’t match up directly with any tier list put out so far. Maybe this game is balanced or something.
edit: Not to act like you’re saying anything you didn’t. By acknowledging differences you can have meaningful discussions about WHY there are difference. But the game isn’t in the hand of the Murikan masses, so we’ll have to wait for that to happen lol.
I’m saying this should be taken with a grain of salt. US doesnt even have access to the game, GG was notoriously more leveled up in Japan however Blazblue and Persona have helped the US power up in Arksys fighters our insight into the cast can afford to be delved into before mailing in a tier list after 2 and a half months.
Because something aint right about Venom’s placement, and I’m still iffy on May.
You have to remember that these lists are published in Arcadia primarily for the Japanese playerbase and not for us gaijin.
Perhaps IS because the US level of play is not at the level of the japanese players, considering that the scene is small and so scarce is not surprising that japansese players will be better at the game since they have more accesible competition that us players
I mean is that still true? I think the US is good in games they want to play and Japan is good in games they want to play.
It also seems like the western fighters that Japan isnt good in just turn into the games that Japan doesnt care about.
This relationship is pretty one sided when you look at it. US plays everything, the only reason US isnt better in more games is because theres a fanbase for a ton of fighters at the moment. Which goes back to me having a feeling that the US is going to be considerably better in Xrd than they were in AC+R
Wut?
Does this footage look faster to you?http://youtu.be/wC7mJi-JlAU
Would you guys be happy if Xrd actually played at this pace?
