Haven’t been keeping up with this thread since the first page anyways the game looks fucking insane aesthetically and gameplay wise.
What’s this hitlag thing yall are talking about is it going to make combos easier or harder to do?
I’ll probably get negged for asking this but how similar and/or different is this from accent core outside of the control scheme?
I wanted a midget robot clone of Slash from Guns ‘n’ Roses. :sad:
Wow, that’s strange. Seems interesting though, can’t wait to see more on the char.

NO WAY!!!
There was a ton of Noel players at AX, mostly because it was AX and saw an Anime looking chick with guns and a hat.
Well that was disappointing, I could of at least settled for a midget with a top hat.
He better be a good characters to use to make up for his lameless design. It’s so easy to tell that his Drive will be that thing on top of his head.
how is this a bad thing, necessarily?
He said people who actually played her and not just playing with one hand. -_-
damn ASW!!!
well…ill have to use Feilin then…I was hoping some midget swordsman using fencing style…oh well…looks like we have an official Eddie
Not a bad thing, I’m just saying its easy to tell by that one pic where that long arm thing is away from the character.
Thats good, but I did see more than one player that did try to play as Noel and not just button mash.
So what was Ragna, Jin, and Iron Tager’s Drives, I didn’t get to try them out before?
if memory serves me right, ragna’s drive involves absorbing life from your opponent and giving it to you, jin’s adds a freezing effect to his attacks (can only be done once per combo,) and tager’s pulls his opponent towards him
Sweet, thanks for the info.
So far this all the Drives we know
Ragna: Life Absorb
Jin: Freeze Attack Effect
Iron Tager: Opponent Vacuum Pull
Noel : Blue Greenish Combo Effect
Taokaka: Drill Claw style directional Attack
Rachel: Windy Rain
Feilin: Homing Staff
Arakune : Curse
Bang: ???
Carl Clover: ??? mostly likely that thing with him.
FUCK YEAH, all 10 characters at EVO :tup:
I’m still hoping for playable bosses once its released!
nah, i see it a kidish character coming, he maybe looks a little lame but i bet that he will be very interesting to play as the rest of the cast
nah, its Carl, bang at least look badass, maybe a little generic (but what char in this world its not generic these days)
Am I the only person that sees nothing wrong with Carl? Though he does remind me of the possible son of Bridget and Liese from Arcana. Sure he’s a kid, but he kind of has the whole black and white movie villain thing going on (think snidely whiplash or Dick Dastardly or peter griffin’s evil twin brother Thaddeus) Hopefully Carl is actually a nefarious evil doer (though i doubt it, considering it’s Japan…)
Hopefully all this hate will die down when we see how these new characters play
I’m with you, I don’t see anything wrong with him. He’s different, that’s a good thing. After the game is released everyone will grow to love the characters like they did with GG.

Did you know Carl is a Bounty Hunter and is also after Ragna? Hopefully Ragna crushes the bastard under the weight of his sword.HATE
I’m agree with you guys. As far I like all the characters (of course some more than others), but we all know this is a new game so I think it’s normal that developers created characters that would be sort of iconic. That’s why, in my opinion, the characters seem like others we’ve already seen. I don’t know if you can get my point. Sorry for my english!
Reverse-trap? The anti-Bridget?
FightingGames4ever, I understand you but… let’s say in all of the Arcana staff is loved by many but in other settings would be pretty much forgotten fast.
Guilty Gear has only gotten a lot of the freaks later, except for Faust and Zato.
So yeah, so far I am fine. Oh, and it says Carl is a puppeteer, in case noone noticed. He kinda is like a crossover of kid Detective Conan and D-Gray Men style.
So do you say that even if they are iconic characters can be forgotten fast?
Maybe I didn’t understand sorry
Uh detective conan, you’re true!
Isn’t supposed to be a sort of goth girl? Maybe she’s a boss…
Yes, basically. Ky Kiske is only meorable because he appeared in guilty gear. Jam too. At least Sol has a very distinctive sword. Chipp… gone. Milia is only remembered when you portrait her using her hair. Justice… don’t mix him up with other fan drawn mecha stuff. Bridget… people would quickly forget until they KNOW. Then they’ll remember him/er forever wgrin
You only remember the characters because of some gimmicks or a really unique trait, but no everyone can put a paperbag over his head and call it a day. Or cut of his arm while dressing up like Kenshin. Or break his back and run around contorted.
But, if you can make a character play in an unique way, people will remember… as long as there is at least something memorable to the design, and if it’s a long staff and a panda brooch in the hair. Or because you just happen to be well known enough after being around some time, ne, Jin Kisaragi? 
i disagreed with you, ky, jam, bridget, and even chipp have very distinctive characteristics, in gameplay and in desing, if people can remember lame desings like the crew of sf, do you really belive that they will forgot the desings of gg, gimme a break
