Someone translated the episode of Topanga that featured Daigo after he came back from the HK tourney(in which he won). They talk about EVO again because Daigo hasn't had his chance to talk about it. If you go to Eventhubs, they did translate some of what they talked about but this shows a lot more and I found it to be very fun to watch. They talk about Daigo's losses at EVO, his trip to HK, show a lot of respect to Valle and Choi, talk about the SF2 touranment, history lesson and tiers about ST, and other stuff.

Daigo did get the PS4, bait averted.

I like how Ogawa played Xrd at the start and decimated everything. Then basically went "I'm still godlike after not playing since AC" and leaves lol

He could easily win this if he went :(

Here is the match if you want to watch it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyr2HeVdorI&list=UU1h_dNQIfOzUQg3G0VHv7Ng

The guy who uploaded that match also recorded every match off cam which includes the 3 matches against the tournament players that placed 2-4 and people chosen at random. So go to his channel and check it out if you want to watch the rest. Daigo should have colluded with the 3 players to get 3 PS4's as long as he's still guaranteed one of them lol.

Haha, I'd be a little disappointed too after that loss. It was really solid play for the most part against Daigo.

Good interview. Nice that he admitted that ShinAkuma666 outplayed him.

Yeah, I posted about it this week. I hope everything went Smooth for her. I assume that her transition process is finally starting in full.

In other news, Dogura posted on twitter about why he isn't playing GG. He says that it's the competition atmosphere isn't good for him currently. Even though it's only 50 yen per game at his local center, only a set number of people have been playing. He's seen alot of folks but has only played some of them a handful of times. Seems like they don't play unless it's X person or so? Hard to tell from twitter because of the short messages.

That arcade culture. You can see the same thing happen when its only a small pool of players at any given time. This kind of effects the EXVS community as well.

I'm not surprised. It's taking so long for people to move onto Xrd.

I don't blame him sticking with BB where he gets to play with more competition.
He has Arc Revo to focus on anyway for BB.

There are girls that go by the name of ricky,(I think spelt ricki or something instead) so I wouldnt be surprised if she doesnt change it.

It's a chicken and egg problem though -- if there's no one playing, why would anyone start? It's also really rough for a new player to start playing, especially since you have people who have played GG for 10+ years and a lot of that knowledge and experience carries over -- it leads to a body montage, and few people have the wherewithal to carry on through that.

I wonder what kind of lessons ArcSys is going to take from Xrd. I know it's been brought up in this thread multiple times about how changing a game too much can hurt the community, but I think Xrd has the opposite problem -- the game didn't change enough, and veteran players just roll through everyone. You don't want to completely negate their experience, but at the same time it's ultimately a business and the game needs room to grow.

Yeah, I really agree about both points, especially the latter. Xrd didn't change enough to the point where everyone was learning a new game. It just added system mechanics tweaks that allowed veterans to quickly adjust to while new players still would seem to struggle learning at once.

I could see some known traveling Japanese players pick it up for a bit if/when it becomes an Evo game.
I don't see the playerbase in Japan really growing until the second iteration or so when they add more characters and tweaks.

Glad I am not the only one to think this. I like the changes they made but I was waiting for something else witht the 2.5D shift. It's still awesome they managed to make such a game for a small company but I don't know... It feels too close to the original. Still gonna play it.

It should play similar to the previous title, it isn't a reboot. I agree that it can alienate players, but Guilty Gear should play like Guilty Gear.

Trying to fetch Uniel, I've discovered that the Japanese psn store shows the ranking of the games being bought on it: never knew!
Interestingly, Uniel is 2nd, Vampire Resurrection is 4th, 3.3 OE is 5th, and Skullgirls is 6th.

I am quite (happily) surprised.

Yup I agree 100% Let BB be BB let GG be GG

BB is huge as fuck right now as well and it sure as hell isn't because it's a shitty animu game. It basically had to start from scratch and build up rep. With Guilty Gear being out of the spotlight for so long it's not that shocking that it's not that played compared to a game with a huge following and a vastly larger cast with deeper gameplay.

They basically fucked themselves by trying to make the already pretty simple core gameplay of GG even simplier and cutting out the cast at the same time because of a new version. I dont even want to get started on the silly option select thing.

Am I still hype as fuck for it? Hell yeah I am, I'm buying a ps4 just for it hell I want to get a super nice ass tv just to soak in it's beauty. GG is the first real fighting game series I ever got into fully so it holds a special place to me. But I don't get why people are shocked to see how it's performing

I disagree with the idea that GG is simpler than BB, but I do agree that the larger cast of BB is more appealing to some people. BB will also have a drastically smaller cast if it changes its engine, so I can't blame GG for that.

Yes, I'm well aware most GG fans think it's some overly complex game. GG is only complex for a few cast members.

The game is very basic once you understand the system mechanics, Xrd more so.

The only thing you could make an argument for in GG about being more complex is some FD cancel tricks and slash back gimicks. The first being mostly character specific.

Shit I taught my friend how to play GG and he never played fighting games before and his Axl was almost on par with top axl players FRC combos and all in less than a month.

It's almost like the GG players know something like you, someone who doesn't seem to know much about the game, don't!

I've never really played GG before (dabbled a bit on the very first one on PS1 back in the days, before I knew how to play a fighting game), but I'm quite excited for Xrd. It's the only upcoming fighting game I intend to really play regularly, and to help myself get away from USF4 a bit.
