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

I gotta say that after watching the Xrd trailers over and over again, Heavy Day has really grown on me.

Can’t wait to see Faust

Hopefully Jam and/or Brigette are next

Oh goodie, Faust is confirmed.
Shouldn’t be surprised.

I mean, would be depressing if we didn’t get the maniacal paper bag-wearing doctor shoving 10 foot scalpels up people’s asses.
And who doesn’t luv shoving 10 foot long scalpels up people’s asses?

Dramatic much?

I generally like the new health bars save for the weirdly shaped part near the center.

That said I do get the whole ā€œhot molten metal being pouredā€ look that they’re going for.

The problem is they don’t really fit, the style of them is really jarring and it looks ugly.

well it’s not green/yellow/red so it’s already much more colorblind friendly

it’s doing that thing where the magic-pixel hides in a notch on the lifebar, but the bar appears to be backed by solid black, rather than see-through to the background. I realllly like that

I dunno lifebar look pretty grungy to me. Not to mention thin and narrow in ode to the classic GG lifebars.

SRK is always overly critical of things. Like the Ultimate MVC3 HUD. Its only so many ways you can do a lifebar, everyone starts with a straight bar then tries to give it a little flavor and embellishment. It looks fine.

Yeah, that ā€œmagic pixelā€ bit it the only thing I’m really concerned about.

Was thinking the same thing. GG has always had grungy, industrial looking lifebars anyway and IMO the red/yellow on black works better than having a transaparent background due to the contrast it provides.

OH FUCK.

Gimme bite loops, stupid invincible BDC, and CH Pilebunker into stun. Even though I don’t like #R Slayer, I’m still excited.

Boring, still the same design. Extremely dissapointed most of the designs aren’t changed at all.

Slayer doesn’t strike me as someone who would feel the need to keep up with the current styles and trends. He has a look, he likes it, I see no reason why he would change. Also it’s fucking Slayer.

In the 2nd location test manual, there’s a mechanic for defense. ćƒ–ćƒŖćƒƒćƒ„ć‚·ćƒ¼ćƒ«ćƒ‰/Blitz Shield, I think.

Someone that can actually read and translate should get on that, maybe. If it was in the past test, I apologize. It’s almost 6am.

Time for a new generation to get 2H’d

Slayer too classy to think about even changing his suit to something else.

Good.

From Suzaku’s translation on Dustloop:

Not really sure how to feel about Danger Time being totally random. Probably not final though.

The only answer I need. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if those pachinko machine designs end up as alternate costumes.

I’m surprised Eddie hasn’t been announced yet. He was in the debut trailer. Then again, he’d probably take more dev time to get looking good in 3D since he’s an amorphous character.

I wonder what the exact changes to Roman Cancels are. Ishiwatari has already stated that he doesn’t like how 25% meter options are more preferred to 50% meter options. So either he’s been somehow convinced to change his mind and add FRCs as they were back, or this meter cost is simply determined by the color of the RC (and amount of time slow). Personally, I’m leaning towards the latter.

EDIT:
Just checked on DL. It seems that the Yellow RCs are the ones that cost 25% meter.

Lol, so they basically made the YRC FRC without the restriction of being frame specific :tup:
I have to say that i also find funny that they give us the 25% meter options back when they said that they were trying to make the 50% options the focus again, my guess is that the players stated their preference and the listened.
