And I just peed a little…

You peed too early though. Since the game has a block button, the only possible unblockables are mid-low ones.

No one commenting on my Rayon McIntosh for DLC?

Seems many Tira players are going elsewhere. I am quite intending to still play Tira. However, with Amy seemingly gone and Viola being a bit too magic based for me. I am hoping for a new character to catch my eye. Hoping the last remaining spots are not all returning/replacement characters. I honestly liked Amy, though, but majority rules in hating her so there is nothing I can do. The first character I like that is not complete garbage that I have to make up for as a player and she gets removed. Oh well…

There are no mid-low unblockables in this game btw. Both the Japanese and French tested this. I believe that as long as you block whichever the first hit is you block the second automatically. This was done with ZWEI.

Mr.X · October 23, 2011, 11:18pm

This is fine, hard to blockables will suffice.

I hope Setsuka is back.

Yes, should be SkullGirls style where if you time it right, your opponent has to block the second hit properly (mid or low).

Farpenoodle · October 24, 2011, 10:17am

Harder to do in this style of game. Blockstun (and recovery) tends to be a lot longer. That style of “unblockable” would probably be easy to block.

Yea I want her too as well. Or maybe a daughter or something lol.
Game so far looks good.

Viola kinda reminds me of the dude from Samurai Showdown but she has more control over her ball.

She is great with balls after all.

Mr.X · October 24, 2011, 10:50am

I was talking about messing with the timing on which attack will hit first, mid or low, since there probably wouldn’t be “same frame” unblockables.

mega_buster · October 24, 2011, 10:53am

Iam really liking viola and natsu also does anyone know if namco has had a fightclub type thing in the u.s?

d3v · October 24, 2011, 10:55am

I see what you did there.

AriesWarlock · October 24, 2011, 5:50pm

Check out this new Ivy move at 2:50

Seems to be an EX.

Heckrix · October 24, 2011, 6:12pm

That move is cool as hell, but the fact that her sword turns into a bow is kinda random.

factory9 · October 24, 2011, 10:57pm

Yo for the LoL heads in here, I’m calling Viola Orianna from now on.

Neclord · October 25, 2011, 12:26am

Very nice. I always wanted to do something more after WRB than just 7B+K or A+B. That’s a really nice addition. Can’t wait to see all the changes/new moves.

RB: You start by choosing which existing character’s move list you want to work with. You’re able to adjust a ton of new variables, including the size of your character’s limbs, physical height, voice, and gender. But those are just the base configurations in SCV. You can layer details on your character, and even completely change the appearance of items you’ve earned. You can really make your character your own. Even if you and your buddy both used “Pants Type B,” there’s absolutely no way that your pants will look alike.
The character creator is a great way to reach new fans, too, players who want to expand their creative mindset. According to the development team, we’ve increased the character creation options by 130% percent. We hope to see tons of crazy creations online when SCV hits this January!
