Anyone gonna be online tonight with the NA version? I'm in the mood for some GG but I always find nothing but zero bars when I search for randoms.
I can play. Invite me if you'd like.

Im sticking with my main as he got his damage buffed up for no reason :lol
It's borderline slayer levels now lol ky
GGs once again. The connection didn't seem as solid as the last time we played so I hope it was good on your end.
I think you should be less reliant on f.S -> mist finer haha though you did start to mix up your round opener as we went on. In general I'd say you should explore more of Johnny's tools like 5k. I wouldn't be able to slide under it easily as well as it being a great poke that works well in conjunction with mist cancelling. Other things like 5H that takes up a lot of space, air joker (frc) to expand your air combos and air movement options... Also I feel like you should for go a reversal throw once in awhile when I'm too zealous in my wake up pressure as you went for throws so often in your own offense. It was pretty hard to tech today haha.
I'd be curious if you had any comments for me as well~
After looking at some videos of +R Baiken and her change list, I'm gonna stick with her as my main. It's pretty much gonna be like I'm picking up a new character because her combos are completely different and she has so many new tools.(dat command dash is actually useful now
) They also seemed to have buffed up her dmg output tooSlayer is gonna stay as my main alt, and looking at the changes/videos of him he seems much more interesting to play. I wanna try out those new Dandy's.

GGs again, the connection was definitely was definitely a bit wonky at times today. I think the game was having some trouble syncing properly because the first round always felt the laggiest to me. I know I need to use 5K more often, before we even started playing I was like "I remember joule telling me to use it more the last time we played so I'll try to use it more this time," and then we started playing and I completely forgot about it haha.
Also I don't know why, but i got really amped up after we stopped playing. It was really weird. I was originally gonna play some DOA after we were done but I got so hyped up that I don't even feel like playing anything else. I don't think any other game could match the euphoric feeling GG gave me tonight haha.

Want to try out some games tomorrow? I need to get a taste of +R kyAfter looking at some videos of +R Baiken and her change list, I'm gonna stick with her as my main.

Good to hear you had some excitement. Have you had time to work on your Johnny stuff or just waiting for +R to really get on it? I see you juggling a variety of fighting games.

Yeah I'm just waiting for +R to get more into everything. I'm really disappointed they didn't improve the netcode though, since it's the only way I can get human competition at the moment but at least I have you guys to play. I can never find anyone when i search myself and since the netcode is the same I doubt online will see much of a resurgence.

So, still no +R date for the US PS3 version?

I just want to know what the hell the holdup could possibly be, since the patch is available everywhere else, and even in NA on the Vita.

It's not though
To my knowledge it's not even available on 360 in Japan.
Hopefully they were really trying to improve the netplay and it appearing on Vita and being delayed on console was because of that
Nope.
The patch is already out in JPN and nothing about the netcode or online matchmaking has been changed.

Right but I'm holding out hope that the US patch is not the same patch, hence the delay
Why you wanna take a man's hope like that Karsius?
After all the shit ArcSys pulled over the last year with GG on PSN/Live, I gotta be as realistic as possible.
Well at least the patch is actually coming. We're lucky and have 4 systems with JPN +R in my scene, but there's still so many players who will benefit from being able to put time back into the real training mode. I fill dirty being hit repeatedly by the +R Slayer, or by Kliff in the corner, and only surviving because our players haven't had the opportunity to drill their new combos much.
I would guess a lot of the trouble brining it outside of Japan would be the licensing involved since Aksys brought the games to PSN prior to this.
I'm not saying Aksys is deliberately trying to impede ArcSys's release, but there are likely many legal issues that would have to be addressed.
Not saying it is, but given that the 360 release of Accent Core + was a simultaneous launch, whereas the PS3 game was delayed, and even the Vita +R was a month off, I would think that's something.
Though I don't think that's the only thing, but it could definitely be a factor.

Say, Busaiku, here's a heads up in case you didn't know.
There's an arcade up in north Houston (around 249 and Willowbrook (opposite side of town from you, I know)) called Insomnia that apparently has a cabinet running +R.
Free play every Friday from 5PM to midnight for everything on the floor, as I hear it.

Could you PM me an address if you have it?
I'm a GG noob right outside the city of Houston looking for local comp to learn the game with.

Open up a JP account and buy it from the JP PSN store for +R on your PS3.
Or wait till December for the US patch to hit.
Have you played GG before? Do you want to get better at the game? Do you intend on getting better through online?
If you selected yes for the last two questions, dont be like me and get the game. you're just setting yourself up for dissapointment.

Was going to protest, but in hindsight, online GG gave me more grief than I think is healthy for me.
That said, it did sustain me when local comp could not be found, and is a good item to have for local play, if that's an option for you.

Haha, it's Arc.
You're talking about this?
Seems unlikely that I'd go, but at least I know it exists, so maybe I'll check it out someday.
Maybe for Pokemon.
+R is out for the 360 in the US. After you download the free catalog, you have to go into settings to change the version to +R.
Here is the link to the catalog.

Maybe just speculation (though I think I saw something about it in the patch notes), but it does feel like they fixed the Xbox screen delay with this patch. Jumping between the 360 version and PS3 version a lot, I used to notice enough of a difference to throw off stuff like I-No's throw FRC for me. Now I really can't feel any difference, comparing them one after the other.

December 30th and no sign of +R patch for NA PSN. I guess aksys forgot about it.
About to buy a card for Full Boost next month, so I figured I'd just get enough points for that and JP +R while I'm at it.
AC+ is 1500 yen on the JP store right?

So much for that "update before the end of the year" eh ArcSys? I fucking love their games but the company itself has this atrocious way of doing things.
I suppose the shoe is technically not wrong. It didn't specify NA PSN, and US XBL did in fact get it.... Or maybe the whole thing's void because they misspelled the acronym:
Seriously though, come on Ark. So much of my potential local competition is in limbo waiting for access to +R training mode....

The community is fairly dead at this point.
Considering that AC (vanilla) itself is already about 6 years old, now, I'd say it's had a good life.
But seriously, ASW, it couldn't be THAT much work to translate the warning screens at boot up.
Online random matches, yeah, those are pretty dead. Players like me who coordinate matches with people they know they have a good connection with sometimes end up waiting around in a free lobby afterwards and getting matches in with randoms. *shrug*
...So lucky here that my local community isn't dead.
Not many. For one, I find that ASW has a lot of fake fans. Those that complain to the clouds about *insert ASW game here* not being released on such and such platform and then once it releases they rarely support it for more than a few days/weeks. Second is that ASW themselves really fucked up on the online portion of this game. I mean bad.
