That's something that initially drew me to Blazblue all the way back when Calamity Trigger released. I'd never seen character lines change depending on the opponent before.
Seeing Ragna and Jin's relationship play out verbally throughout a match was revolutionary to me at the time.
Perhaps other fighting games did it first but Blazblue is where I first encountered this level of interaction between characters.
I wonder if they're going to add in matchup specific intros like in BB. IIRC BBCP's arcade loketest's didn't have them but appeared with the JP console release then later in the arcade version so it's possible they may do the same here.
No.
Not happening

Axel enjoyed Faust's special the most (dudes), going by his face, haha. But what did Venom say!? I was most interested in his reaction for obvious reasons.
EDIT: Duuuude, Venom's IK is sick. The best ones seems to be that are specific for characters, just 'cause they show off even more personality.

Kinda. They're more about spiking the ball than turning the tables, if you have an opponent in the state where an IK would kill them, chances are you could have also killed them with a normal combo.
i saw a sol player use it in match, it think hes the #1 ranked sol player Pure pure

Even when it's depicting pool balls with faces this game looks godly.

O mercy they need awards for graphics and animation. This is a dream come true. Imagine this in a Snatcher remake. Any genre for that matter. I hope they sell their techniques out to the game dev world.
Unfortunately it is Unreal 3 (I think?) so they can't simply license the engine they've so magically enhanced. Such a significant leap forward in 3D toon shading and animation. So much time must be saved compared to hand drawn.
I don't get tired of talking about this. It needs much more attention. It dearly needs to go beyond a fighting game.

I thought it was you but I couldn't track down the exact post (I probably should have used gaf search instead of google).
It looks like they've changed it further as it's an uppercut now instead of a long range thrust. So it'll likely only be useful for combos (and maybe close range punishes depending on the move used and if they're in Hellfire or not).

Still disappointed they went with Megalomania for I-NO's IK

I want to see Johnny get hit with May's IK and Bridget on the receiving end of Faust's special.

If I had access to the game I would spend an hour trying to find what it could combo into lol
Well Bridget did tell faust to at least wait til he was old enough, which he would be now. So there ya go
They have done it with GG earlier, of course
And I'm pretty sure they will make those intros for console version.
Man... wonder if bridget will be redesigned. Total bait and switch, beard and everything.

I think some characters are definitely going to have it easier than others. Like Sol being able to do it from his RC'd command grab (although that costs full meter and there are likely less meter intensive ways to land it).
Instant Kill in general seems like a very interesting mechanic at least compared to Astrals in the sense that you can do it at any time but there's a hefty penalty if you mess it up.
I expect many YOLO Instant Kills in Gaf's Xrd future.

I seriously can't wait. I haven't even played it yet but I feel that it's going to the game of the year for me.

It would be funny if it was something as simple as CH greed sever.

That just might be possible with the RC slowdown. There's only one way to find out though...
Anyone want to take a trip to Japan next week?

When you show him make sure you are wearing a hazmat suit, otherwise you are probably going to have some stains that might be tough to get out

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Man, many IK's got nerfed for cutscenes.
Nerfed? Weren't they downright useless? Granted I never played past GGXX.
edit: Oh you mean visually.

I mean like, back in XX series, Ky will do a dash, bam, Instant Kill.
Here you have to connect to a close attack before he does the dash.
Other similar characters include Millia and Sol it seems.
Hmmm still wonder what this game would look like if the animations were key framed instead of how ever they are currently doing so it looks "smoother"
EDIT: The game still looks like sprite based animations, which I understand is the style, but man silky smoth animations with these types of characters would look incredible

God, May's is so fucking adorable I could die.
Except they had such a huge wind up the only way you'd ever land them is against someone braindead, or maybe off a dizzy (*cough* may's f+a *cough*)

or if your character was named Ky and had the fastest ik in the game and could punish moves with it

i think most characters (maybe all?) can combo their IK when opponent's in hellfire mode
the criteria for super freeze IK are: on the last round, enemy has blinking health (like 20%ish), you have more than 50% tension (for the RC)
actually, it only costs 50% for the 1st RC, and the few tensions wasted during the super freeze, so if you have around 55% tension it's definitely enough
yeah you used the all your tension, but for a 100% win it's definitely worth it because you only need 55%ish tension for the win

I know IKs in general are useless (save for Ky and maybe Sol), but I just thought they're easier to connect before because they immediately do the instant kill move rather than having to connect it with a punch or a slash. Of course, characters like May have the same IK start up (connect with a melee), just annoyed that some like Ky and Sol lost their instant IK animation for a need to connect to a melee.
