I’ve been seeing alot of Slash matches on combovideos.com and it includes the following matches:
Holy Order Sol vs. Johnny
Anji vs. Slayer
Bridget vs. May
It has made me decide to make a thread since I am a very good fan of the GG series. All in all it looks the same but some backgrounds have parts of the day changed. Slayer’s gloomy midnight stage has some sunlight going through it. The Jap’s (Baiken, Anji, Chipp) stage went through ANOTHER change. Its more colorful than X and X2/#R. X: too much red/orange, X2: damn, what happened to the red??? I goes into something like midday or something like that.
Everyone’s got one new move. Chipp gets an extra teleport command while Ky gets an Aerial Charge Stun Edge…although good…it kinda sucks. FRC points are now as crazy as ever. Sol’s FRC points stay in tact but Chipp has a Camo(214K) FRC point…WTF is up with that. The first and second part of the Fireball attack should have FRC points. Its good to use less tension on BnBs.
And its official…no more dust loop…no save your tears…it was bound to happen someday…
Usually the videos didn’t show that much deepness in HO Sol’s character. Overdrives is one thing that they didn’t show although overdrives are extinct in some of the minds of our expert GG players but not mines.
Besides, seeing HO Sol in action makes me wanna play with Sol again. Strange. Man I can’t wait till this thing comes out.
I’ve seen that one. ABA is a little too complicated for me to play with but I heard that makes her the most deeply compared out of all of the posessed people(Eddie, Zappa)
HOS looks buff, but I don’t think any of us can assure how good he actually is. He’s most probably better than regular Sol, but that doesn’t really warrant him as high-tier.
From the buzz, it still seems like Dizzy and Johnny are at top (like the earlier beta testing indicated).
That was the one I was thinking about. And yes, he seems to be a helluva lot better than a regular Sol. What really seperates him from the rest of the group is a very small jump.
Oh and Chipp players rejoice, he is now officially A+ tier according to beta tests although I really don’t give a damn about tiers. Just wanted to post that up.
Erm, he plays nothing like the GG1 Sol.
Just because he can charge up, he plays like a GG1 Sol? Um… you couldn’t Charge Cancel like you could with HO Sol nor did Sol have such moves like HO Sol does.
I mean, he has a lot more attack options with new moves and FRC’s and what-not (Gamma Blade off a normal throw is the worst idea ever, btw) but that hardly means that he’s a strong character. He’s moved up couple of ranks, probably… but from what I’ve been reading on Japanese BBS nobody’s mentioned Chipp as high tier.
Tiers on dustloop.com they said.
The only new move I heard of was 22D teleport in which appears behind your opponent. I’m not saying this will probably be the only new move that he has but more FRC points give him a slim up advantage on the tier list. Fireball and Sweep move said to have FRC points to them.
