SLASHED: >>533817756

I’m not posting in a brisket thread

I've only played SF6 and Tekken 8 (1700 MR and Fushin rank), how hard is GG compared to these? I kinda regret learning Tekken because game turned worse and worse with patches, I kinda want to learn this as a second fighter but ngl I cba if its very hard to get into.

>>533909706
Strive is very easy to pick up. Gatlings are intuitive by design and the RC system is super freeform as well

>>533909706
strive sucks, xx and xrd are the good GG games, but they are harder to get into and also pretty dead, best to just move along
marvel tokon looks decent, maybe wait for that

>>533909706
If you’re intermediate in sf6 with classic controls, strive should be a breeze. Defense is the only thing with a high skill floor

robert bachi

breadly sin

>>533909706
Strive is easier than both of those so you'll be fine.

I think Daisuke wants Teresa to bomb him, the only logical explanation

>>533913628
Who's Teresa? Is she cute

reminder team red has been making their next game for a year now and 2.0 is the end of strive

>>533916181
This has to be the weakest dooming for Strive so far

>>533913628
Jam is in now though

I don't get it, where are the trannies

>>533917961
We only had one in Strive this year and (s)he was a pseudo-passoid.

>>533917961
Half of the soive trannies got banned for sexually assaulting each other or lying about it.

>>533916181
Is that supposed to be a bad thing or?..

Either they make an even worse sequel and I can finally forget about this franchise or they make a better game. It's not like Strive is supposed to be a forever-game.

the time stop Lucy shit definitely won't become cancer starting day 2

man the last thread blew past, couldn't even ritualpost, ggs to Daru, every other GCnigger can tongue my hairy ass

>Venom was an out homosexual
>For years, Bridget was the posterboy for gay nonce trap hentai and cited as the primary influence on Boku no Pico
>Dizzy was the basis of the infamous shitting dicknipples image

Why did Strive supposedly make Guilty Gear "degenerate" again? Seems like it always was.

>>533916181
thank god, no game should have 6+ years of new characters and mechanics

>>533916181
>fighting game
could be fun
I bet they'll sabotage it by making it tagshit or some other inane decision

I guess Asuka, Leo and Raven are kinda german and fafnir is a german dragpm. I think Blazblue has a lot of german shit too from what I've seen in the character theme names. Maybe battle fantasia since the brothers grimm are german

strive sucks and its still the best one of the bunch

I gaslit myself into thinking the patch wouldn't be at the end of the month

>>533928521
fool me once shame on you
fool me twice won't get fooled again

Prediction: They intentionally release the worst fucking patch in the history of the game along with Lucy and then next year release Strive 2.0 has a new game (Like Rev2) with the actual real balance patch, forcing everyone to either pay up or stay forever in a doomed world

Do you guys really just turn brain off and consume ARC works? Crazy how you keep buying the same games. There's so much cross community now compared to back then GG players were GG players BB players were BB players.

>>533931009
Or they just do the DBFZ thing where they intentionally release the worst fucking patch in the history of the game when 2.0 hits, continue to make it worse with a few balance patches until calling it quits and leaving the game in the worst state it has ever been in for the rest of time.

>EOS Patch
we had a good run, chat

>>533931151
Huh

Remember when you retards convinced yourselves that this was just fan art? So what's your new cope now? I'm genuinely curious.

>>533931697
bro i wish that was fan art because it's so fucking ugly

>>533931697
We've actually always liked censorship crabba, only chuds like sexy women in revealing clothing.

>>533931697
i dont care about jam

>>533931697
i hope they fix her hair. it used to be uneven before, but now there's a weird bald spot instead.

>>533931697
I still think it's fanart. I am mentally unconditionable

what the fuck Version 2.0 update succeeding means

>>533931697
I think it was understandable to believe this was fanart based on how it was treated before. I'm not sure what you're going on about with this new cope thing though, do you think you're always fighting a war on /v/ where no one's thoughts can change?

>>533931697
I always believed that it was a daisuke doodle. Don't love it but it's just a more classic cheongsam like in her XX intro with a midriff.

why are people pretending a dexerto tweet is even reality adjacent

>>533934864
miyauchi threw them a bone at anime expo giving them the usual vague non answers
the other articles might as well be ai generated

Surprised more of the /v/ tourists haven't migrated some shitposts over here yet

I don't think Strive can be saved and they probably realize that too

>>533938335
Season 3 took this game out completely

>>533938335
I have hope desu ne

>>533920558
Dont forget how half of the Baiken tag is farts

>>533940368
>spend all of your time labbing instead of fighting real opponents in game
I agree, people who play the old games have problems.

>>533940368
My dead region is super dead, I have a hard time finding players to play with sadly

>>533941660
>dead region
but anon that's impossible this is the most popular video game of all time

>>533941660
In the US, everyone just collects on East Coast now.
Idk what region you're in but just go there

>>533943254
wow I'm gonna go play xrd RIGHT NOW FOR REAL

Did any of the popular streamers like asmongold and xqc react to the new content? I need to know if it's woke or not to win the culture war.

>>533931697
i like the design
ill still get to see as much leg as I like with that gap and that being the leg she kicks with
i like glasses

>>533942442
But anon...I'm OCE, playing with 300+ ms is a torture for everyone involved.

actually, nevermind...

>>533943890
Oh weird. I forgot people live there.

I don't care about lucy or ranked or 2.0 being announced. The only thing I'm asking for in the next patch is to balance gorilla ape potemkin players so floor 6 players can't get into celestial anymore with this broken ass character.

>>533944678
>Conviniently omits Johnny
Its so broken it allows random who niggers to win EVO

>>533943254
Wow I cant believe they completely covered these up oh wait

>>533944870
Johnny is a very high-execution character, so it's okay he's so strong. People who put in the time and effort deserve to be rewarded.

Weird how almost all Arcsys games are based around BlazBlue while Guilty Gear has always been its own thing. Tokon takes a few cues from Strive but the overall gameplay is still feels rooted in BB.

>>533945745
There is nothing more boring than minute long combos that do no damage at all

>>533910079

>>533917526
It’s hilarious. Strive is getting a full on revision and people are so mindbroken they think it’s gonna EOS.

>>533946224
Are you even able to articulate what makes it not good?

Give everyone guard crush
#showerthoughts

>>533951208
All the serious playable characters already have guard crushes. Only joke characters don't have them, and those characters aren't supposed to be viable anyway so it's all good.

>>533931697
i like it
but i never saw any sex appeal in jam to begin with

>>533951546
>joke characters don't have them, and those characters aren't supposed to be viable anyway so it's all good.
Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you
I'm base roster franchise staple, I'm not supposed to be disrespected like this

Something has to be done with wallbreaks in 2.0 they're too intrinsically flawed and detrimental to the very premise of a fighting game with standardized stages

>>533951546

>>533951902
>if the game doesn't allow 80% combos AND endless strike/throw loops it's intrinsically flawed
lmao

>>533951902
for starters only super wb should give hkd. Anything else pos bonus but no burst and no +dmg and defense

>>533951902
>they're too intrinsically flawed and detrimental to the very premise of a fighting game with standardized stages
Uh, what? Tekken has had them for ages, and Tokon is going to have them and nobody minds. Yeah, Strive wallbreaks are terrible, but that's due to specific execution, not the overall concept being flawed.

i really don't like the fact that tokon doesn't have burst or any meaningful defensive mechanics
long combos get really boring really fast

>muh wallbreaks
what are you going to complain about next? airdashes?

>>533952062
Tranime kusoge loyalists are mentally ill and that's okay

>>533952319
It has a harsh combo limit though, so it won't have long combos. And it has both a guard cancel which is unpunishable unless you do your own guard cancel on reaction with perfect timing, and also has one-button DPs/supers.

>>533952319
burst is a crutch. hold that.

>>533952845
i saw you can get some decently long extensions with appropriate assist usage. Burst would make everyone happy. The autists that like this shit and those who doesn't
>>533953597
no it makes the game more engaging, the one who gets comboed has to pay attention to find a good burst spot instead of just falling asleep for 15 seconds and the combo doer has to account for it and reroute properly. It's good

>>533952845
Longer combos are possible via assists, EX and routing combos from air to ground. Its been shown multiple times too. You have 2 extremely strong defensive options too, a V-Shift analogue, and a guard cancel that when times properly, locks out the opponent out of their assists.

>soive is only getting 5 seasons since it went full dei wokeslop
kek

>>533954476
>only

>>533954476
yup soivahs keep on losing

fighting game that got more than 5 seasons

>>533954470
>and a guard cancel that when times properly, locks out the opponent out of their assists.
That only happens when they call out your guard cancel with their own perfectly timed guard cancel.
>>533954470
>Longer combos are possible via assists, EX and routing combos from air to ground.
Pretty sure only an assist extension actually extends the combo limit, and that's a limited resource that doesn't come back automatically.

>>533909261 (OP)
will Justice be in 2.0?

>>533952319
strivers are subhuman

>>533955481

>>533954476
striver sissy cuck bros...

>>533955385
No? She's fucking dead.

>>533955385
No. Justice and Kliff will never be added to strive. Dizzy already has michael sword, too.

>>533955945
>Dizzy already has michael sword, too.
Yeah and Nago has bloodsucking universe, Slayer has 0% chance to be added.

>>533956079
Feel like that's different since slayer is not dead and is different from nago, and dizzy got better fullscreen zoning/keepaway and has worse setplay.

Season 5 is gonna be Robo-Ky and Jam, preceded by Dante and the one blue-haired bitch from Arcane

>>533957170
>the one blue-haired bitch from Arcane
Isha was pretty cool, but I don't think they would put an actual child as a playable character, as we saw with the disaster that is Bed.

why do people think its not fan art? not seeing any proof anywhere

>>533957961
The Jam? Because part of it was shown off in the GGST 2.0 trailer. Before people thought it was fan art because it was the only thing not taken down when the tweets showing off the leak were mostly taken down.
>>533957170
Doesn't it make more sense if Robo-Ky and Jam are just the new base game additions to GGST 2.0? Everyone in Strive now + Robo-Ky and Jam and then they have a new Season 1.

Granblue 2 sucks ass compared to 1
Why would we want strive 2

>This kills the doomkek

>>533958887
Different team. I mean there's no reason to trust this team over that one but what I'm trying to say is there's not much correlation

>>533951902
what about kuso kino?

>>533959394
Sure, but strive has had one positive-change season imo, I don't trust that a "revamp" on the game would do anything good. In fact, I would bet money on it being kuso

>>533958896
>delayed in the past
why did you underline that as if that wasn't going to continue happening short of them just not putting out content until late 2026 to work on 2.0?

>>533960109
Oh no what if she hacks me and makes me eat her pussy haha that would be terrible haha

>>533958896
Yeah let me just trust this source that recently made up news and then made more news about how the first news they made up turned out to be made up.
Unless they can show me the actual interview where I can hear those words coming from Miyauchi's mouth, I will assume it's all fake bullshit or at best the """journalist""" taking massive liberties and putting words into Miyauchi's mouth.

>>533960489
haha, who would want that? not me haha

>>533960634
Haha it sure would suck haha. I would still do it though

How much of Lucy's body is actually real flesh?

>>533931697

>>533961305

>>533945201
>Johnny is a very high-execution character
NO CHARACTER IN THIS GAME IS HIGH EXECUTION AND YES THIS INCLUDES HAPPY "MUH 1 FRAMES" CHAOS
GOD

>>533962295
>I set an arbitrary bar for a relative word based on my past experiences with video games that nobody I talk to has played
This isn't how language works. We have language facilities to engage in social interaction. When you decide that you your super duper special definition of what "high execution" means and make it relative to things that nobody that you talk to care about, it's like screaming at people in a language you know they can't understand. It's pointless and makes you look like an unhinged retard.

>>533958896
That something? My Peenus Weenus of course :)

>>533955357
https://x.com/dragonfgc1/status/1951455666876604457
If you route your combo grounded, it actually lasts longer

Is 16 frames reactable?

>>533931697
So, just so I understand, we live in a society where it's considered moral and ethical to support censorship, huh? Kinda fucking weird, certainly not the world I grew up in, but hey...

>>533964202
Everything is censorship to you if it doesn't cater to your specific nigger tastes.

>>533964202
Have you not stayed up to date with world events? EU is busy building it's own continent-wide censorship and surveillance apparatus and outlawing VPNs while America is deporting people who criticize Israel and denies entry to people who have Vance memes on their phones. Japanese company making sexy women less attractive and more covered up seems pretty small potatoes compared to that.

>>533964680
I-No's censorship was literally the start of the slippery slope that lead us to this 1984 situation soivah ass bitch

>>533964202
Just pray they don't make her trans or something

i feel so retarded that the only thing holding me back from landing the sin 2k link combos comsistenly is the input reader reading 26 as beak instead of 6h

>>533964886
Home Alone 2 is way older than Strive even if we account for the time it was developed before being announced.

>>533920558
>Dizzy was the basis of the infamous shitting dicknipples image
This is complete bullshit but im willing to let you state your case.

>>533965484
It is not, in fact, complete bullshit.

>>533965484
It's easily verifiable, just look up 'shitting dicknipples' and the Dizzy image that originates it should show up right away. You don't have to do 'shitting dicknipples dizzy' or anything like that.

>>533963808
Ill assume you're actually asking
Yes but not for everyone
The fastest a human can reasonably react is 14 iirc

>>533965856
Yeah I was actually asking for opinions on it. That move has a very telegraphed animation and sound cue from the start so I've been thinking about it. I think I've blocked it a few times on reaction myself but I wasn't sure if I just happened to stand up.

>>533945201
>Johnny is a very high-execution character
not even in the strive top 10 lol

>>533966249
More of a read, but like I said it's not impossible at all if you're already looking to fuzzy guard it

Let him play, arcsys
Why did they do this....

>>533965023
Try 266? Or wait a bit when going from 2 to 6, so like 2 then 5 (hold for a bit) then 6.

>>533968054
I honestly wish they'd make Axl actually good as an excuse to get rid of his annoying ass 2k

What will be the reason Robo-Ky uses katanas now? Mimicking Nago?

>>533968840
true, a game where the character specific things are super strong is way more fun than "lol my normals are better than yours, so i win more interactions"

mist finer is just cheating
>guard crush out of the ass
>unreactable high and lows

>tfw this is strive 2.0 and upgraded shading just means they will move Strive to Unreal 5 like many games did with patches already
Mark my words.

>>533958896
Im 100% convinced Dexerto articles are fake and gay. Remember that brazilian fansite that managed to interview arcsys during Strive's release 4 years ago saying they would probably focus in BB after Strive? Theres literally no mention anywhere of that interview happening and every citation just loops back to that one article. Unless these interviews are made by anything resembling an actual publication (which unfortunately involves IGN because the bar is that low) and not a vidya tabloid page, I dont trust any of it.

>>533970802
>Guard Crush
It's our future now, Lucy will just be a waiting room for Marvel Tokon Beta anyway.

Look at this shit, the trailer starts and the 1st thing they highlight is a Whip Guard Crush.

>>533973838
>needs a full charge

>>533973731
It that interview wouldnt be real Miyauchi would adress that on his twitter you idiot. Releasing fake interview that can damage the brand and current product is lawsuit tier shit. You people are coping hard about that article for some reason.

The article is advertised with some garbage clickbait, as per dextero. When you read the article its nothing really of note.

>>533974107
The interview did happen but you have clickb8 headlines which might as well be fake and gay

>>533974246

>>533975769
According to KBR, autocombo does the DBFZ thing where you chain on whiff HOWEVER it only chains up to 2x and the range is stubby. What made the DBFZ one so fucking retarded is that it also moves you forward in whiff, so thats yet to be seen in Tokon. If it doesnt move you forward or has garbage frame advantage that would be OK I guess

Will Jam be the Answer of Strive?

>>533975693
And what board are we on?

>>533979863
We're racists? I think?

>>533979717
In what way?
but no

>>533980087
As in late DLC that basically gets forgotten or has no notavle meta impact

>>533964202
>Censorship is when the sexy anime girl is still sexy but shows less skin than before.
you are addicted to pornography and it's bad for your brain

>>533980552
I think she will be popular because she will probably continue to be some gorilla rushdown character with good corner carry and damage + waifu appeal.

>>533979717
If Answer had been a woman he'd be 10x as popular.
Only reason Kum wasn't popular enough to get into Strive is that she is in an old man robot during the game and only becomes a cute girl on the win screen.

>>533980552
Shes going to be the Rev 2 Baiken of the game. Late dlc people will say is not strong but is actually pretty strong because majority of the mains are bad at the character and cant play her right

>>533980552
Oh
maybe but I doubt it
She's probably going to be easy as shit, and we're in the content creator hell timeline now so even if Strive is on the decline by the time she comes out every fag on youtube will make "Jam can do WHAT!?!?" and "I mastered Jam so you don't have to!" videos.
Also Answer took a legitimately long time for people to figure out all his shit, he's pretty strong but releasing so late in the game's life meant the top players weren't going to switch because it takes a shitload of time to get a new character up to the top level, and it was only legitimately years later that people started actually playing him even close to optimally, which just isn't something that can really happen in Strive.

I think the Rankin-Bass holiday film music would have been great stage themes in a fighter like Strive. Some could be done mostly 1:1 but I do think others would need a modern or more "Daisuke" update.

>>533982392
I always thought Answer was mid to low tier, is he actually good?

dead tranny filled general

>>533984152
Hes OK. People get filtered by his bnb, which involves latching to his scrolls. Being able to do 6K launch into 9 latch is actually trickier than you'd think.

>>533920558
>>533939831
So why exactly is there a disproportionately large amount of weird fetish porn of GG characters?

>>533985698
Why did they stop letting treatment be male

>>533985698
What the hell are those things, anyway? Are they sentient fragments of his own power like Dizzy's wings? Or are they tiny gears that are subordinate to him? Or are they backyard organisms?

>>533984152
hard to pin down because he's been so underexplored historically but the good Answer players generally put him high end of mid or the low end of high tier now, definitely not top tier but people thought he was bottom 5 for a long time and he's definitely not that either. Xrd tier lists are basically just
>Johnny, Faust, Elphelt(unless you're japanese) undisputed top
>Millia, Ky, Venom, I-No fighting for the other "top 5" spots
>[everyone else]
>Pot, Axl, Bedman, Zato at the bottom
Answer is definitely better than the bottom tiers, and worse than the top 5 contenders, but is he better or worse than Leo, or Sol, or Baiken, May, Chipp etc? Really hard to say, some people think Baiken and Chipp are top 5 some people think they're mid tier. Answer used to be one of the "Maybe bottom tier maybe fine" characters like Kum or Jack-O, I don't think anyone thinks he's top 5, but lately has been more of the same group as like Sol or May where some people think they're just outside the top and some people think they're just outside the bottom, opinions have definitely come way up on average, but there's a lot of variance.
I wonder why I've never seen a tier list include confidence bars, now that I think of it.

Strive WILL die in 2026 LOL

>>533987754
no...

This more or less confirms what I was speculating yesterday. They didn't have the resources ready to invest in the game because they didn't expect it to be this big or stay relevant this long; those resources went to work on other games (mostly Tokon) after the initial launch window / S1 per their normal development cadence. This isn't an excuse, just an explanation; they should have been able to recognize success and been willing to chase it. Now we're at point in development with Tokon and Strive where they have to make resource commitment decisions again, and it sounds like they're going to pour some actual effort into Strive. Based on Miyauchi's comments it sounds like it will be some technical upgrades (possibly engine / network systems / dev pipeline that they would have iterated on for Tokon), and likely some system / game tooling improvements for players like replay takeover etc etc. With a fresh resource commitment and an eye to their contemporaries we could even see balance patch cadence commitments so things like this dogshit season balance don't last nearly as long.

>Hmm we can make a concerted effort to grow our playerbase while luring old players back into the fold and make much needed QoL changes to the game as whole
or
>We can threaten to kill the Strive if we don't get enough bodies and hold GG fans hostage
Guess what they picked?

>>533988992
literally both

>>533988992
pretty sure they picked the former and got quoted out of context to seem like they were doin the latter

>>533989234
hmmm who should I listen to. The guy who's post ends in "34", or the guy who's post ends in "9090"?

>>533990352
me nigga

Sisters, if strive dies, what will happen to my heckin' trans representation in fighting games. The chuds will say they won. I'm literally shaking.

>>533990352
Listen to me.

>>533991640
Neat.

>>533991640
Super? You sure this isn't unused RC or another mechanic? But I guess she was meant to be more edgy instead of sad/scared. Interesting. I wonder how she will be handled in the next Guilty Gear game.

what are they going to add to strive 2.0??? mechanics wise

>>533992735
Adding mechanics? Nigga they need to remove mechanics.

>>533991640
Gonna touch my wiener to this audio

>>533992480
it has the same file naming as the supers and specials as the other characters. And it has reverb like the supers so I'm only guessing. Could be the start of an instant kill all we know.

They said she was more involved in the gameplay before being reduced to just a visual hazard so maybe this was part of it.

>>533991640
I think every character has at least 2 or more lines of unused audio that sound like they were meant for IKs. elphelt says “till death do us part!” and faust has “vitals fading..... heartbeat rising!”

The best way to salvage Strive is to make a fully animated ISIS beheading video of Goldlewis to signify that guard crush is being removed from the game.

>>533994176
Arcsys please hire this anon.

>>533991640
she's a child, freak

>>533992735
giving everyone back the shit they lost, bringing back proper gatlings, and unfucking air dashes.

prayers up.

>>533992735
A special mechanic for Millia where, if you pick her, the game installs malware on your pc and leaks all your passwords.

>>533994453
>giving everyone back the shit they lost
No!
>bringing back proper gatlings
More routing options or special properties for some would be nice.
>unfucking air dashes.
I like them.

>>533991640
I don't think this is unused, this is what Delilah says when you use either of Bedman's supers on HC
https://youtu.be/29-n_62TAng?si=F6TYG5Ppc6R-lEq_

From the leaked build, do we know how this shit works? Like is "optic inhibition" gonna make the opponent's screen blurry or some shit?

>>533994859
oh ok. weird how bedman of all characters gets so many character interactions. i didn't even know delilah had damage animation until recently.

>>533993942
Imagine IKS for 2.0? That could be why it is taking a half a year (minimum) of no content, crunch time to get all of them done. This would also explain why post launch characters pretty far into the game (elphelt is from season 3) have the voicelines. Could be saving them till this point and would be a good marketing thing to bring people back.

>>533995281
I might be misremembering but I think they said they wanted to do IKs and just didn't have the time/budget.
That was around season 2. They know people have wanted them since launch.

>>533994859
Any guesses as to why HC in particular? Sorry, not caught up with Strive lore. Also would anyone happen to know where the voicelines mentioned here >>533993942 are used (if they are, like in a special interaction as the one shown between bedman and hc)?

>>533995196
Imagine if it reduces your game's resolution.

>>533992735
Make it less of an incomplete feeling game. Add way more moves back, Sol 5K, and remove wallbreaks. That will get it started.

>>533995281
It would be way too many voicelines for a free update.

>>533995570
HC is responsible for Bedman's death in a roundabout way.

>>533995196
Some of these were shown off in the trailer, but I will take a guess:

>Contagion
The purple aura from the video, probably just a regular dot effect.
>Energy siphon
Guessing that it drains meter and/or burst and gives it to Lucy.
>Algorithm Malfunction
No guesses, probably really good since it can't even be done twice and is the most expensive (13/24)
>Resistance glitch
Possibly the red aura shown, adds hitsun letting you combo from throws and other moves
>Pacify
Probably a silence (can't use (certain) moves)
>Optics inhibition
Guessing that it is the glitch effect on Lucy to make it harder to tell what she is doing

>>533994453
The worst type of fake oldhead retard is the one that thinks a character should have every single move they’ve ever had all at once

Ok but Millia actually should get her hairpin back.

>>533996032
Just realized the purple from Contagion is the same effect from that item from 3v3.

>>533995875
This is why I don’t think IKs could happen along with the huge animation workload (32 characters) but I do think we’ll get way more character interactions. 2.0 is an excuse to get the VAs back in the studio and that’s way easier.

>>533996232
In general, video game companies hate calling voice actors back to do anything unless it's like a huge dlc. I doubt Strive will get any significant amount of voicelines added unless they really do make a Revelator equivalent.

>>533996532
Strive has been getting new voicelines every major patch for like 2 years.

>>533996634
Yeah but it's a small trickle compared to the effort it would need to give every character proper interactions with the rest of the cast.

>>533931697
People only thought it was fake because for some reason the DMCA claims never wanted to claim this image. I guess that was just an error on their part.

>>533944875
people crying censorship are annoying but you are equally being disingenuous to not see how much obvious sex appeal is there compared to the Strive concept art. The difference is night and day.

>>533997142
Jam is one of those designs I would call sexy but not genuinely good. Her new fit + the glasses are very nice, unfortunately it means losing the 7 different panties.

>>533997142
I never liked the vacuum-sealed look on her tits. I personally prefer loose-fitting clothing that still shows the shape underneath.
The animation is nice, though.

Zappa should come back and have a 100 meter super that summons a bunch of ghosts at the same time

>>533997303
It's over designed and ruins her silhouette

Im going to have faith Arcsys can pull off a 2.0 launch and really wow us. At the very least this launch will actually have normal matchmaking so maybe more people might stick.

>>533997870
When is it? I haven’t been watching anything.

>>533997870
Matchmaking is going to be broken on day one but by the time 2.0 is out in October or November it'll (hopefully) be working. It's kind of ingenius to release it this early so we can beta test it for the tourists...

>>533998613
october? nigga it’s next year and don’t expect it early either

>>533998782
Oh right, they said it was 2026. I guess we're not getting a normal seasonal cycle.
Probably going to be April, right after AWT.

>>533997701
I feel like it still has all the strong elements of her silhouette. The hoop hair, the hanging sleeves, her leg is still clearly visible.

>>533995570

I don't play dub so I don't know for sure if these are unused or not. I'm just going off what the other anon said.
