Don't cut your forearm off lady

Obviously the game would have no blood but the idea is still there.

It's pretty good. I wonder when she'll be out.

Would be wild if we get both her and Beelzebub at the same time.

In all honesty that was my impression when they announced that both of them would be out in the same month.

The streams kind of cross here, so if I were to speculate, it's either:

1) 3/27 to coincide with the EU release much like how Bubs' release coincides with the US release, or

2) Mild early spoiler for the current Eternals event in GBF Seeds of Redemption
If Narmaya is in your crew, in Chapter 1 part 2 Fif mentions Narmaya being worried for her if she got a cold which is a bit of a throwaway line but I could see her being introduced tonight with a reference to Fif in a win quote, character release on 3/3 to ensure she's labbed prior to start of Arc World Tour, and Part 2 of the event starting on 3/4 where she either comforts or protects Fif.

Every fucking shot of her we've seen is so badass

She's surprisingly pretty badass despite all the waifu baggage, almost on the same level of the strongest katana user from the series.

She fights with a combination of skilled swordplay and magic, she can turn her sword into other weapons and vanish into a bunch of butterflies to move, so expect some of that to be part of her gameplay.

If I had a quarter for every time this game completely devours my SSA's, I'd have enough to buy the NA version of this game.

I swear to god this online though...If strive has this shit online, I'm all the way out.

It does seem like the game eats inputs sometimes.

Last time I played I had a match versus Ferry as Zeta where mashing forward + R1 + O just resulted in Zeta walking forward for a second and eating a counter hit two separate times.

I have had combos just stop. mmm, 236h, h, then I hit H, nothing happens, and I stand up in neutral. It's INFURIATING and it happens ALL THE TIME.

I've had some trouble doing shortcut SBA in the heat of the moment, resulting in some special move I didn't want.

They might want to make inputs a bit more lenient in the future.

Ultimately I need to give up LaDiva. I think PaxEast locals will be where I retire her and on monday I'll start learning bub.

I still feel like activating your critical seems off. Sometimes it registers, sometimes not. More often it works but there are those times where it just won't.

The Steam version was inevitable but I didn't expect it so soon. Still out before the Europe release. And Narmaya is the same day as Bubs.

Naw man, she's bad.

I've tried, I have nearly 400 wins with her...in a game where Gran/ferry/kat reigns supreme, Ladiva can't keep up.

It's amazing how strong just crouching is against her. The entire cast is Guile against LaDiva.

Keep it up! You just need a good opening and it's game. Here is an example I managed vs a good Metera:

People have asked for a PC version since game was announced, they had one ready to go only a few weeks after Ps4 version, but they didn't tell anyone until people bought the ps4 version ... ? Like I would have just waited for that ...

And we're stuck with the awful load times and worse netplay because there is no way in hell I'm rebuying this on steam right now, no money for it.

But most serious players will so you're left with nobody in your region unless you're in Japan or America maybe.

And EU got totally fucked over with the release anyway.

I don't know man, it's super whack.

Yeah, makes sense that she'd be releasing on March 3rd along with Beelzebub. I wonder if the April characters will be the same: early April, both together. I think S2 is where we'd be seeing the individual character releases spaced further apart from each other.

Steam version will probably be dead within a few months so I'm not going to pick that up as much as I want to. No communication + no cross play will do it.

Oh wow, I thought it'd at least be 3-4 months before a Steam release. That wasn't communicated well at all.

Oy, I was completely off with how much I expected individual characters to cost. We're right back to standard Arc prices (she'll be 800 yen, therefore $8 like with GGXrd and mainline BB characters).

I think it more on the publisher side that they segment the release. Cygames could learn from it with their other projects like their action game.
If you cut different deals with different publishers for each region, without giving them enough time to actually plan and coordinate a simultaneous world wide release, it's definitely on Cygames. I mean, the EU console publisher just now found out about the steam release lol.

It's super bad. They basically stayed silent so people couldn't make an informed purchasing decision. Cygames really fucked this up, this is amateur hour.

I might get that PC version when it's on ultra sale, but this pretty much cements that I'm just sticking with the HK version for the foreseeable future. Really poor job on their part.

Are you kidding me with no codes on the PC version... well fuck I guess I gotta deal with some shady ass shit and buy from someone and that's going to involve handing over money and just hoping the codes work
