I don't think I'd say Jack-O in Xrd was complicated, just people are really resistant to the summoner style of gameplay. Didn't Gargos from KI get a lot of poo poo despite being midtier? I also don't know if I'd say Testament is watered down? Just fundamentally different.

I don't imagine they'll strip away dandy step or bloodsucking universe. Really only his backdash cancel poo poo will probably get removed. I could see Zappa keeping the ghosts but probably having their impact on his gameplay toned down, or else having the randomness of the ghost summons removed. Maybe Raoh would be saved for one of his supers.

I could see Slayer making it in with very little changes but Jack is totally right here.

Yeah, Slayer's BDC is probably gone but I also think that's less iconic to the character than his signature moves.

See I think they should just set each ghost as a stance, pressing HS changes stances with each stance having a shared special to generate orbs. Earning an orb from each ghost makes the next stance Raoh.

That's hella complicated by Strive standards and probably not good but it would be cool

Yeah that's basically what I mean by removing the ghost randomness - turning him into a more standard stance character instead of a timer based slot machine. I could see them still keeping Raoh as something to build up towards but I can also see him being relegated to super territory.

+R has non-tournament-legal "EX" versions of all the characters that are unlocked by doing some crap in arcade mode in the home console version (they don't exist in the arcade ver)

Zappa's EX version in +R can choose which ghost he summons, idk exactly how. but they could make it work like him

Slayer will probably be redesigned fairly majorly cause they already gave bsu and his teleport dash to nago and a rough version of his mixup from special move > followups to anji.

Unless they are happy to put out a character with a much more powerful, non metered teleport dash than nago gets and a much stronger mixup game following up from a much stronger and safer special than anji gets idk. I just trust daisuke to give me my very popular boy.

Part of what makes fukyo strong is Nago being able to zoom across the screen and cancel specials into specials so it's a huge threat. They could give him a new blood meter I guess? But I really doubt they bring back Slayer and just have him dash, like a peasant.

edit: Instead of teleporting, new Slayer will use Footloose Journey to air dash like I-No.

Yeah thats probably right. they can balance around it being free.

Edit^^^ hell yeah, leg copter ftw

If bsu is just nago's thing now and slayer isnt also gonna have it i hope they make undertow into a better move. You never see it in xrd unless someone is styling on their downloaded opponent.

A Slayer used undertow in the Combo Breaker top8 recently. He Undertow RC to bait blitz shield and then picked up a juicy counterhit combo.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
I continue to not understand how the tower works in this game. I played for about two hours tonight, losing almost every match because I'm out of practice and playing like poo poo. After a while I intentionally started to sandbag in hopes of getting ranked down so I could practice on a lower floor. No dice. 30 or so lost matches in a row, no change. Finally, I came across another May player that I actually beat and after two 2-1 sets, suddenly, RATING UPDATE for the Celestial Challenge. What the hell?

you cannot fall more than 2 levels below your highest tower level. Furthermore, once you have successfully completed the celestial challenge, you cannot drop below floor 10

Welp I had no idea about the "can't go below floor 10" part. Guess I'm stuck. Last year when I was playing this game more regularly I would've loved that.

I was intimidated by I-No's weird movement at first, so she was one of the few character's I haven't touched, but in the last few days I made an attempt at learning her basics and it turns out that playing a hoverdash character is not difficult at all.

You just do 66S over and over and over until they're dead.

Diaphone literally has a video were he does precisely that in celestial. Theory being that people know I-no loves her mix so if you just never mix they will eventually block low.

Obviously it's not so incredibly good that it beats everything but if you just keep spamming dash S when you know you can keep pressure up it tends to work pretty well.

You'll get called out for it but not as often as you'd think.

Anyone got cool tricks and tips to fight happy chaos? His incredible normals and clone are so annoying to deal with.

Honestly, I'm lucky most of these happy chaos players just mindlessly do their blockstrings or I would lose every single game.

Also I'm pretty sure one time I was sent from corner to corner in one combo.

also this is the starter guide, it seems like the movelist hasn't been gutted much at all. i loved hearing him say "kick start my heart" almost as much as "behemoth typhoon"

yeah the movelist is very similar to Accent Core. only thing that's really missing are the Roger set-ups following yoyo placements.

in all seriousness, I think it's cool for ArcSys to throw these curveballs, as much as I'd like to see Sin or Slayer or Jam come back. gives me hope we might eventually get the weirder characters like Zappa or ABA
