Casual's also just a really badly designed mode. Nobody wants to just sit around for an hour between matches watching other people fight. There's zero reason to play it against randoms instead of ranked.

I think it's a slight delay between attacks that does it, the auto-RE block system or whatever thinks the delay means you're finished attacking and starts the counter while your string is still going.

What I mean is a lot of the Talim's combos and attack flows don't get fully blocked by RE. Most of the time, if you time RE correctly, it'll block the hits and do the counter attack thats start the RE cutscene. Against Talim however (and certain other characters), if she just keeps attacking...

One thing I've noticed about Reversal Edge is that it works much better against some characters than others. Talim for example half the time can just keep attacking to interrupt an RE attack even if they block successfully but some others will always be hit if they hit against the block.

Nightmare's CE hits me from the side, that's the problem I have with. You can't punish it upon seeing it charge up (because it's uninterruptible, even if you hit before the auto-impact), can't guard because it can be made unblockable, can't guard impact or reversal edge, and can't sidestep...

There should probably be a tier list discussion thread at this point. I think the top would maybe be something like Ivy, Nightmare and possibly Mina and Zas. I don't see too much Zas players but he seems pretty strong, he seems to have lots of fairly safe fast knockback attacks that can...

I can't imagine they'll make 2B too advanced, the guests are supposed to attract some new fans who maybe have never played the series before so they'll want them to be beginner friendly and easy to get a good flow going with.

Could be adding 2B in the update. Or maybe removing Denuvo and adding a different type of DRM? I've heard companies get their money back if Denuvo gets cracked within the launch window if they remove it from the game.

2B really doesn't clash much though visually. Her outfit fits pretty well in the series (hence everyone hoping her dress can be used in CaS, because it fits quite well with the setting), and there's already magic floating weapons in the game. The only weird thing is the little robot buddy. Her...

Her having CAS parts included and a new stage brings to mind the question of if both other DLC characters will have those extras. Like, assuming they're legacy characters, their main outfits would probably be CAS-able, and possible some parts of costumes from older games too as bonus extras...

Cassandra's obviously #1 request now and I'd be pretty surprised to not see her make it, though the other DLC is a harder guess. I see a lot of Setsuka replies to SC tweets but Amy's also decently well requested and is built up a lot within the base game (as is to a lesser extent Hwang)...

You can't change Geralt's equipment. On the additional guests note, I don't think there's any more widely requested guests to even add. Geralt and 2B were the top 2 requests by quite a bit, and it seems like Kubo has been paying attention to the fan requests. Cassandra and another legacy...

Since a lot of people seemed to have missed it, they showed this is all part of the first character DLC in the season pass at the very end of the reveal trailer

It's Kaine's outfit (a character from the original Nier).

Listing the weapons separately on that screen makes it sound like it'll be a CaS style too like Geralt's, which would be great. Having a Kaine costume, Emil's head (+ more) as CaS parts, and a new stage and bgm is pretty much everything I wanted from a potential Nier crossover. That's the ideal...
