Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- one of life's gilty pleasures

So Miles923 on Youtube says he heard the game feels like Marvel. My heart sank…I hope that is not true.

Xrd Loketest? Just watching it looks like it’s #R more than anything. I think other, established GG players that played it made no mention or comparison to Marvel so Xrd should be fine. And what does Miles923 mean by Marvel? Marvel 3? Marvel 2? Marvel 1 where I can just do HOH HOA all day with Wolverine?

And let’s hypothetically say it really did play like “Marvel,” it’s still just an alpha/beta phase that can easily change later on with later builds and tests. Seems like Arcsys and Ishiwatari really want to bring back an older style of GGXX that would be nostalgic for those that play GGXX back then and that there are lesser systems so that newer players can get into the game.

He pulled that out of his ass. He said that 2 days before loketests even fucking began.

I hope you guys are right. I don’t know if I could play a GG that doesn’t feel like XX or AC.

Elevenshadow went to the loketest and posted live updates while he was there. One of the first things he said about it was towards the gamespeed. “Game speed feels good! Pretty much just like XX series.”

Excellent! I’m so freaking stoked for this game.!

yo fuck Max

There’s no confirmation of exactly who will be in the game yet, is there? I hope the roster will be close to the size of AC.

I’m glad it almost just looks like GGXX being played.

Just curious but are you able to cancel specials into overdrives now?

No one has said anything about that, so I assume it’s just like the other games in that you can’t.

hmmm I might wait to get a PS4 until this game is released.

I thought that specific moves were super-cancellable.

I think you should reevaluate your sources for valid FG info.

I’ve been hearing the GG and Marvel comparison since I’ve started playing in XX. From a capcom-only player’s perspective, Marvel is the closest/only comparison.

(ST is a much closer comparison. Some ST players say GG is like what if SF2 never stopped updating. I think the two games have very similar pacing/emotion/clutchness.)

I’m open to suggestions

The game took references from a bunch of games.

Before they took out the blood (not sure why), but the blood + most every character using a weapon was obviously inspired by Samurai Showdown. I started playing it from the very first game on PS1 and I was instantly reminded of Samurai Showdown as far as the aesthetics and the zooming camera.

The characters themselves borrow influence from a bunch of other fighting game characters and the gameplay is like a mix of Darkstalkers, Marvel and some other stuff in just a very basic sense. Overall though the game has enough of its own features and mechanics where it’s just its own thing. It’s obvious ArcSys was just fans of a bunch of different fighting games and just decided to make a game based on those influences.

Max is like if DSP wasn’t a raging faggot. He’s cool and his assist mes are funny. But don’t his analysis too seriously.

Tataki, Eventhubs, Hard news (sometimes) are examples

Don’t count on Eventhubs either.

IIRC ASW has a lot of people who used to work at either Capcom or SNK back in the day when those 2 were the main players.
