Without any trolling and doomposting, can we seriously talk about any possible simplification that they could make to the new GG without sacrificing any depth?

No such thing.

Mash to tech.
Jump Install.
More universal routes for air combos without removing specific routers for optimized stuff.
More hitstop here and there.

No more mash to tech and no more jump install I mean.

No microdashing

YRC already simplified GG to the point where everything is free. There's nothing they can do that will fuck up the series any more than that.

Are there any instances in which you need microdashing for something that's not an advanced combo?

>It's a Yea Forums talks about fighting games episode
kek

i bet they'll simplify the netcode even more

How do we feel about unique wake up timings and body weight?

Ramlethal's bnbs require microdashing

its ok if it has the depth of a puddle as long as the graphics look cool right bros. super hyped to mash some auto combos while jerking it to ragna the bloodedge

Some people don't like them. Personally I don't mind unique wake up timings since this means that the characters with very oppressive okizeme will have to put more effort into optimizing their wake up game and it can also aid characters with weak hp or bad reversals by making okizeme less unfair for some of them.
Unique weight isn't that much of an issue by itself, I think that having both unique weight and unique air hurtboxes is what in combination ends up making some air combos more specific than needed. However there's an appeal in seeing players who are able to optimize or convert punishes into full combos in situations in which it would appear to be impossible for the average player so removing both altogether would hurt the players who specialize in optimizing combos. As other post mentioned earlier just adding more combos that work on all the cast should fix the issue.

Sin's Air Beak Driver loops while in the corner
once you hit the ground you must do a micro dash so you can connect a P > HS > 214HS to regain calories
it's really a must thing do to cause then you are fucked if you are out of calories

That's an area where I feel SFV failed. They should have left in 1frame links/etc for optional optimization along with the easier bnbs they have now

Games should not be "Social Bridges"
That's what social media is for, and you see how well that shit turns out for people.

Games are games.

Xrd was bad. This COULD be good. I don't have my hopes up though.

The idea should be: Make intermediate stuff easier but have plenty of room for advanced and master tech.
Or also have a tutorial that clearly states that 1f combos aren't something you need to master on your first week with the game.

You can adjust to land 2S>Beak Driver instead of microdashing. Beak winder loops are fine without microdash P, even Kizzie Kay forgoes that route

Sounds like a repeat of the choices that made sfv so utter shit while things like the netcode are on the last priority.

Their recent games have kinda showed that it does hurt gameplay.
I feel like this is a retarded move when they're so close of being the main fighting game dev, but if they actually go through with this it's just gonna hurt the game, and it would be potentially crippling with sf6 on the horizon which I really doubt takes the approach V did

does anyone else granblue versus look boring visually compared to dragon ball fighterz and guiltygear XRD, its the same 3d anime style so Im not sure why I think its not as interesting. I heard the gameplay was ok though.

Anyone who think this would lead to something bad obviously wasn't playing GG when Xrd came out. Not a lot of players liked the transition from XX to Xrd but it turned out well enough.

Longer YRCs
Hellfire 2.0.
More Danger time for HYYYPE comebacks and spectators
no negative penalty, gotta give the new kids all the time in the world.
No top invul for 6p normals, too complicated for newbies
Autocombos and Dust auto combos

Attached: 1493462636180.png (444x440, 285K)

Instead of negative penalty you activate danger time after running away for too long.

Even if they did this it would still suck ass. Anyway you spergs will play it anyway as long as it has an anime aesthetic you dont fucking care.

That sounds fun actually, broken as fuck but would lead to some hilarious shit.

>Removing IKs

>Someone who doesnt play or like GG gives an input
lmao

>More universal routes for air combos
I agree with other stuff you say, but I don't think that's necessary. The uniqueness if each character is a big part of GG, and I'd like them to do as little as possible to make them more uniform.

Any lorefags have a rough list of who's coming back for this game?

The character design is pretty uninteresting for a fighting game but I like that it doesn't have long ass combos.

3f reversal window, JI, Danger Time and slowdown in anything not RRC. These need to get out. Aside from that, inputs that overlap like Megafist and Buster could be remapped. YRC and PRC could be removed honestly, no big loss there.

They wouldn't be able to tell you because it's going to have entirely new characters like Blackman and most GG characters are tangential to the main plot anyway.

I can tell who is most certainly not coming back
Answer since his reception was a bit lukewarm and arrived late to the party to get himself a solid fanbase
Bedman because he is dead
Kum because she was only born as a tribute to the guy who did the Korean OST for XX

gg was already simplified in Xrd and you tards didn't care then because muh waifus. I honestly hope the game is different from past GG because +R is the peak of the classic GG formula and Xrd was just a step back.

>inb4 danger time bad

Bridget but he has grown into a manly man.

Well im sure arcsys would like an audience who actually plays the game instead of just watching boomer nips play and spam baiken fanart in the trannycord.

>Kum because she was only born as a tribute to the guy who did the Korean OST for XX
Nani the fuck?

Can go: Blitz shield, Danger time, Hellfire, Jump Install, Negative Penalty, Staggered state
Can be simplified/changed: Clash, Bursting, Instant kill, RC system, Tension gauge and pulse, Ukemi
Rest shouldn't change much or at all.

But I like doom posting

Negative penalty basically doesn't exist outside of the first hours in singleplayer for a complete newfag.

It's impossible to deny that abare looks pretty boring and is awkward in combos.

Sol's little sprint into punching combo in the trailer makes me think they've taken inspiration from UNI, and added both (universal) Sprint Attacks and chains out of mashing P (on hit). This will make it easier to hit confirm off of a jab, but hopefully it will also add more moves with more combo potential (eg second hit can chain into a sweep, third hit can be special cancelled) whilst in the right situation a different button (K, S, etc) will always be a superior option for the combo.

If anything one of my favorite things about GG is how a lot of hits can lead to nothing else but an expert player is able to convert it into something. Making the process too automatic sounds kinda boring honestly.

You don't make a game into a social bridge, it just is. Playing games with someone is one of the easiest ways to socialize.

>Games
>Socialize
Fuck off with this normie shit I play games to be alone not be hareassed and bothered

for some reason Daisuke had a Korean band make the soundtrack for GGXX Reload for its Korean release. Shin Hae-chul was the band's composer. He died sometime in 2014, so Daisuke made Kum Haehyun as a tribute to him

That helps the pacing honestly. I don't enjoy Blazblue as much because it's more designed around everything leading into a long combo. If it doesn't lead into a combo then it leads to pressure and having to think quick how to take advantage of the situation instead of always converting into a combo.

>and spam baiken fanart
o-oh. I'll just go then.

I always find it noticeable that most GG players are old men. Even more so than Street Fighter.

>Answer since his reception was a bit lukewarm and arrived late to the party to get himself a solid fanbase
I agree, you're probably right about this, but I think it's such a shame. He's easily my favorite newcomer in Xrd and one of my favorite characters in GG overall, and I'll be sad to see him go. He's just so much fun to play, it'll be hard to go play another character in the new game. Hopefully Zappa comes back at least because I'd be happy to play him, but I'd rather play Answer at the end of the day.

bait, we all know your first Arc game was DBF. the only thing there is to legit complain about is they will drip out the roster with seasons. i'm 100 percent sure Venom wont be in the base game but in the back half of season 1

Hellfire wasn't that bad.

4 buttons instead of 5, maybe?

A fifth button was added to make the game easier to play. Back in X dust was a two button input.

If you were chipp and your opponent was slayer then it was pretty bad.

Take away Forward + H for throw and replace it with pressing certain 2 buttons at once. It's time to join the modern age.

dbfz style autocombos adds simplification without sacrificing depth because they fill multiple roles: unique special move per character for advanced users, low reward mash for noobs

Just beat Justice in the original

The artstyle is generic anime high fantasy with overdesigned armors, and 90% of the character designs are boring bishounen boys and generic anime girls. Only the midget snd Ferry stand out as good designs so far. The rest are impossibly boring.

My friend's uncle works at ASW and he said Dust will now cost 50% Tension.

Yea Forums I might spend the money to go to arcrevo just to play the new GG. Might see if I can get an interview as well. How do you want me to convey anything I learn to y’all?

hopefully they add cross-platform mp

Even if they want to, doesn't mean Sony will allow it.

Fighting games are socializing games at the end of the day, don't you think? Don't tell me you spend all that time training to just play against the CPU, user.

As someone who doesn't hate FighterZ I don't see where the bad will occur. Casuals will be able to enjoy the hell out of the game and the sales will flourish. But the combos worth using will be the kinds you make for yourself. How the meta has transformed from FighterZ's first year to now will happen to Guilty Gear and those who don't learn the real combos will be left in the casual dust where they are happy to stay. It's the best case scenario of a game getting casualized.

FighterZ is a fantastic game that’s tons of fun to play, and Guilty Gear thrives on having characters that are very different from each other, which was the main criticism of FighterZ, characters being too samey. So as far as I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

Galneryus worked with who was involved for the music for Chrono Phantasma and is honestly responsible for why everything sounds as homogenized as it does compared to most themes first incarnation. They only managed to barely get their shit together for the themes of new characters in Central Fiction and new additions like Celica and Yuki Terumi.

Did they worked on the entire soundtrack or only the remixes? Because in CP the themes for Amane and Bullet sounded pretty distinctive from what I remember, unlike the second version of the old themes.

>Because in CP the themes for Amane and Bullet sounded pretty distinctive from what I remember, unlike the second version of the old themes

Funnily enough, they were responsible for the second editions of the themes, but not the NEW music like Dissonance, or any new character themes.

This might be even more evident in the GG x BB 2014 live show, where all the Blazblue music played is stuff that was made without their involvement. But thats just a hunch.

yeah I'll stick to +R or REV2 if they do autocombos

I think by "Universal" he means "works on the entire cast." I am a Bedman main, but I would be totally ok with not having to learn specific bnb combos for May, Potemkin, and Jam/Elphelt. Not to mention having to change the timing of my bnb against another 1/3 of the roster. Giving everyone solid combos that work against the entire roster would make the game much more manageable, and allow players to spend less time on a single character, allowing them to play more than just "main+easy mode shitters".

When I think about GGs gameplay I think about setplay and oki. The one thing I would change about it is the heavy reliance on these two things, but it is such a big part of GGs gameplay that it seemed hopeless to think that they would ever change it in the future.
Reading the "brand new experience" part has me hopeful at the possibility that they might change it to a more neutral focused game. That's just what I want, but even if they're not going to do what I hope for I'm glad they're going to be trying something new instead of doing the same thing.

Don't count this as a leak because all I am is a translator that is currently translating the manuscripts for the trademark of the game and it's characters. I literally have no idea if these characters are going to be playable or not because they might show up in the story but here are the list of names that I've seen in the manuscripts.

>Ky
>Sin
>May
>Johnny
>Venom
>Robo-Ky
>Milia Rage
>Zato-1
>Dizzy
>Ariesolas
>Aria Valentine
>Elphelt Valentine

>Baiken
>Axl Low

There's a bunch of other names of what seem to be objects or titles of some kind. Obviously you have the Gears thing under the term and some other small shit like that.
The biggest thing that caught my eye though was how the wording implies that Outrage is an actual character and either Justice Reign is a name of one of the songs in the game or it's a character too.

It's all really weird and I can't confirm literally anything from this other than provide this list, given stuff like this is usually updated as development continues because the Japs are very, very quick to claim corporate ownership of what will be official IPs. Damn Nippons love their fucking DMCAs and NDA agreements.

Just by how they're wording this shit I can already tell that Roman Cancelling is going to be completely rehauled a-fucking-gain and I'm almost positive they're going to remove Negative Penalty since they said they're aiming for new players.

God fucking damnit Daisuke, why the fuck are you falling for the casualization meme now? You're fucking game is always going to be underappreciated and niche as fuck just from the god damn fact it's a fighting game alone. Stick to treating your dedicated fanbase well enough and it'll grow by itself. I fucking hate this shit man. I'm so fucking sick of this franchise turning everything on it's fucking head with every single update for the sake of "attracting a larger audience."

XX#R was my first entry but then AC comes around and literally gives everyone new fucking moves and abilities. XXAC to AC+R was a fucking bitch to relearn because it changed almost every aspect of everyone's abilities so match-ups were now completely different and some did a complete flip then Xrd completely threw out XX's formula entirely so it might as well have been a new fucking franchise. Then Xrd Rev comes out with like 3 giant system changes that effects god damn everything and then Rev2 comes out with big changes with it finally ending with Rev2.2 which heavily effected multiple characters to the point where it changed their damn combo-route.

Why the fuck does Team Red keep doing this shit? Stick to a fucking formula for a single entry god damn.

Why would they do that? If anything noobs try to do reckless offensive stuff instead of running away while doing nothing.

twitter.com/daevabeato/status/1159666745059217408

There is nothing wrong with the game being simplified.

GGXX's updates were pretty fucked, I'll agree. #R and AC+R legitimately feel like completely different takes on XX to the point they feel like romhacks.

I think your exaggerating Xrd's lifespan a bit though. Sign to Rev was a pretty big step which did include a bunch of shit that they might not have needed but they also included Blitz Shielding actually being a viable thing which I think was a genuine change. Rev2 only significantly affected the heavy hitters and top tiers. Rev2.2 specifically only affected May, Ky, Johnny, Bedman and Baiken mains. I would not call those last two "flipping the series on it's head"

This, i don't have a problem with americans but the majority of the shitposting come from them, also smash threads doesn't exist during that time too

Team Red literally said that they treat the series like a love child and do whatever they and Daisuke want, not exactly what it needs. Hence why Rev2.2 was it's last patch before discontinuation even though literally fucking nobody who played this game ever once said that Johnny or Ky needed more neutral pressure.

GGXX and #Reload were directed by Ishiwatari, iirc Slash and AC were directed by another guy/team which is why characters became so different and the game added stuff like force break and longer combos.

Yes I want them to do the same shit over and over so I can play with the same 5 people on discord forever.

>Larken Ciel
FUCKING BASED
One of his attack names better be Driver's High.

I have only played SF2 with my friends casually, but I want to git gud. Are there any good fighting games for beginners on Steam with active community? DBZF looks pretty good.

Newfaggot here, want to learn raven, but i dont want to learn a character that would just get axed, what are the chances that raven will be in xth?

SFV and Tekken
All anime games dead sadly. Even sadder is that the communities are usually shit and filled with waifufags and elitists bragging about how much skill their game takes instead of playing it.

DBFZ is alive but the combos are really long so that might be somewhat offputting if you've only played SF2. Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur 6 are also alive on pc but they're 3d fighting games.
SF5 has a lot of missteps but has a decent amount of players. Uniel, Blazblue and Guilty Gear have pretty small communities.

Raven is a very important character lore wise so he has decent chances of being added to the new title, maybe not in the base roster though.

>Characters that have a high chance of staying:
Sol, Ky, Sin, May, Milia, Slayer, Raven, Elphelt, Zato, Potemkin, Chipp, I-no
These characters have at one point or another been described to be core characters of GG's identity. The exception to this is Raven but the likelyhood that Raven is going to get cut when he's basically going to be a huge player in the next part of the story is very unlikely, also Daisuke REALLY likes Raven to the point where the only reason why he wasn't in Sign was because they didn't have enough time to put him in. In the case of I-no...well we're literally talking about Daisuke's fucking mom-dom fetish so I'm pretty sure you know how powerful the dick is.

>Characters that have a chance to get cut:
Venom, Ramlethal, Dizzy, Johnny, Axl, Faust, Baiken
These characters either have most if not all of their story arc completed but are still either relevant to the story as a whole or are very popular among the fans. They are not priority however.

>Characters that are guaranteed to be cut:
Leo, Bedman, Answer, Kum, Jam
These characters have literally no point in their inclusion anymore and typically have very low play-rates on top of not having any if at all fans of them, on top of that they have little to no impact on the story whatsoever.

Axl is also one of Daisuke's favorite characters.
That Man's name was some Asuka whatever faggotry.

This list is actually very interesting because it does allude to a lot of things the story has been hinting at.
Mostly the under-the-radar shit like how That Man seems to be trying to revive Diva Valentine and we already know that Happy Chaos at the end of Rev2 was still incubating.
Larken Ciel and Sabat Black is right up Daisuke's alley though I'm curious what Meshfuhga and Bathory could allude to. Justice Reign is weird but if they're alluding to Outrage being used as some kind of entity it could explain why Sol has Outrage Mk.2

Honestly. I believe it and I personally don't believe they would ever get rid of the fucking Universal Will in a god damn storymode custcene without making her playable at some point.

It's honestly hard to talk about things like this here because the default reply will always be lol they are fucking simplifying it.

But the truth is, that statement just says that to not expect the usual "upgrades" that we have been getting. They will be changing a fuck lot. That's it. I didn't even get the vibe that they are saying that it will be simplified at all.

>no initial proration

D.Va-2 throws this whole thing out the window for me. No way he'd risk a blizzard chimpout.

Its probs an abbreviation for Diva Valentine

Think we'll get anything at Tokyo Game Show?

I hope so.

That's a fair point I guess, though I'm not sure why they'd go with that abbreviation for the aforementioned reason.

Best case scenario is some clarification on what he meant which is needed. Guilty Gear does have mechanical bloat to a degree, but the last thing it needs is the braindead treatment DBFZ got. I enjoy DBFZ to an extent, but it's not Guilty Gear. GG has it's roots in that miles deep bullshit complexity pool for fighters and as a result it's one of the most challenging and rewarding games to play, learn, and watch. Hope he doesn't tilt it too hard.

Baiken is literally reaching the crux of her personal story with That Man now having a known location.

pic related is why i don't think that it will get duped down like all other anons try to make people belive. They know their audience and what they expect from a guilty gear and Daisuke explicitly stated that new AND old players alike will enjoy it.

Jack-O will not return, because now she's Aria. however, a replacement for jack-O exists and called Happy chaos, so maybe the functions will be back
similarly, Bedman's almost identical sister has woken up from a coma, so maybe his functions will return too
Robo-Ky is almost guaranteed since they wanted to put him in Xrd but then got the contract for DBFZ

ignore him he never played and has no idea about the story
also his claim that characters don't get payed check out pic related

Answer and Chipp are pure suffering. The pixie archetype has to put in so much work it is soul crushing at times. One error and you're totally fucked for the most part.

Baiken would be the exception however considering how they handled her in Xrd, I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't show up for the first iteration of the game. In fact I highly doubt it.

Oh shut the hell up, out of the 5 I named 3 of them are the 4-2 lowest played characters in the game and had i remembered to include Jack-O it would have been 4 of them being the lowest.

Both Jam and Leo have no relevance to the story or lore outside of Xrd's story threads so I'm full-fledged expecting them to be canned for the initial roster. Bedman is also fucking dead.

>Ignore him he never played
PC room right now mate, I bet I've played more than you.

It depends on if they're trying to attract players that don't really play games or players that are turned off from the difficulty of fighting games. If it's the first one then it will be absolute retard friendly with the game playing itself, the second one could be really fleshed out tutorials/handholding. I love the shit out of the Guilty Gear aesthetic, but looking up and learning a bunch of combos isn't really interesting

Bedman and Jack-O are probably out or will likely be replaced since they had some really interesting mechanics and we have similar characters that have shown up than can fill in those roles.

Venom I expect to be out due to how his story ended, but we'll see. It would be weird to have a GG game without him.

There are a lot of story irrelevant or minor characters in Xrd so I'm not too sure how things will be for the next game.

you probably have, but then you don't know shit about the lore and should refrain from basing your arguments of who makes it in by basing it on the lore of the characters

Nigga, if we were going to base this shit off of pure lore of characters than a good portion of Xrd's initial roster makes no fucking sense.
>May
>Venom
>Pot
>Sin (to a degree)

You can make arguments about Zato and Milia being unreasonable too because Zato was literally fucking dead by the end of XX and they had to asspull him back to life and Milia was literally a glorified messenger bird between Slayer and Leo/Ky.

Also Zappa, Ariel, Robo-Ky and Anji all make an appearance and are involved heavily in Rev and Rev2 but are not playable at all meanwhile fucking Answer, May and Johnny are playable when almost none of them have done anything plot relevant outside of one or two things.

I mean fuck dude, May's mysterious Japanese illness wasn't even fucking solved, it went absolutely nowhere and got dropped by the end of Rev. Just like how Ky's Gear Aids hasn't been mentioned since the end of Sign.

Didn't they literally add dizzy because of a poll.
With the shitfest that is GG lore I don't know why anyone thinks they treat this shit like a bible.

>I mean fuck dude, May's mysterious Japanese illness wasn't even fucking solved
Pretty sure it was UW trying to pull the same bullshit of turning japs into nukes that That Man stopped once by attacking Japan 110 years ago which made Baiken go after his ass for as long.

Yeah defeating UW solved that issue for May and the Colony.

fuck you low health glass cannon characters are impossible to balance and thats why we get bullshit like sign millia and rev 1.1 chipp skipping neutral and running absolutely fucked, brainless oki.
