More about that last Gem update.

However, I’m thinking that we’ll have new information for everyone by the end of the year. So before we hit you with the new stuff, there’s a lot of other things I want you to know, so let’s review everything up until now! Gems are definitely something I want everyone to get a good understanding of. This has already been shown off on the official site, but I’d like to write about the “Onslaught Gem”. The Onslaught Gem allows you to absorb 50% more meter for your Cross Gauge. ↑Normally, Ryu’s close standing Heavy Punch gives you this much meter. ↑One Onslaught Gem activated! You acquire more gauge than normal. ↑Gems can be set as long as you have the slots, so if you equip three Onslaught Gems, one close standing Heavy Punch gives you this much gauge! Just imagine all the awesome things you can do! That’s about all for the Onslaught Gem. Oh, and to activate the effects of the Boost Gem? Yup, they require that you meet certain conditions first. Check out this example! Onslaught Gem type example Activation: Land 3 Special Moves Effect: Cross Gauge acquisition rate: +50% Duration: 15 seconds Activation: Land 1 Launcher Effect: Cross Gauge acquisition rate: +50% Duration: 15 seconds Activation: Your partner lands a Launcher Effect: Cross Gauge acquisition rate: +50% Duration: 15 seconds Activation: Perform a Reversal once Effect: Cross Gauge acquisition rate: +50% Duration: 15 seconds Activation: Get blocked 4 times Effect: Cross Gauge acquisition rate: +50% Duration: 15 seconds Hm, all Boost Gems have various effects and duration times. I’m sure there are some people there are thinking “I’ll equip three of the Gems with the ‘Get blocked 4 times’ condition! If my opponent turtles then I’ll get a ton of meter!”, and that’s great. There’s a lot of great ideas you can come up with! But wait! With the current Gem system, you cannot equip two of the exact same Gem at the same time! In other words, if you want to equip 3 Onslaught Gems, then you’ll have to equip 3 of them that have different activation conditions! Yeah, that’s rough, huh? This Gem system is basically set up so if you want to get a great benefit, the conditions become harsher and harsher. While you’re not used to the system, maybe it’s better to just equip a bunch of Gems that activate one by one.
