incoming cool story, bro

Man, i'll never forget the day where I 95%ed my best friend's Baiken (He's extremely good w/ Slayer, Venom, and Baiken). Out of a simple counter HS w/ May, he proceeded to drop the controller, go outside of my house and raging off the top of his lungs. Shit was too funny, he proceeded to quit Baiken since that day. D: those were great times, i fucking love GG.

[The Stig]

Sol player here. Like others I also want a new game now.

Although I do love the addition of Order Sol and the new "stages", the backgrounds make me think a lot about them, it's all so mysterious and pretty...

By the way is Oveture story heavy? I was concerned about that game as it was a bit different. So I never looked into it.

Doesn't May have the strongest dizzy setup on counter in the game?

[Nitsuki]

yea, her 6P, 2 hits of those and you're dazed. Any counter-5HS staggers you for a free combo, counter j.HS and counter 2HS also launches you and don't allow you to recover for a free combo. May fluctuates in tiers in GGAC, but she's always been up there, i'm glad i stuck to her regardless of her somewhat nerf in GGSlash. Sometimes I miss the #Reload May where you can block-string into a command throw.

Overture was story heavy, if you want to know a lot about the story behind Order-Sol, Ky in the future, really good game imo, frustrating sometimes in difficulty.

[JetEnduro]

#R Robo-Ky or bust.
But yeah, about damn time they decide to take GG to next gen..... I just showed that article to my brother and he said "I was going to sell my arcade stick.... I guess not anymore!"

[Nitsuki]

honestly, more reason for me to dual-mod my arcade stick. lol Gonna be a while tho, hopefully it's in development as we speak.

[Elites]

Never thought much about the game except for it's nice music

[The Stig]

I looked up Oveture Nitsuki, I'm unable to fimd out one thing. Is it possible to select between JP and EN voices?

Otherwise it seems they kept Sol's movelist intact, good enough for me to play, also "seems" like DMC-ish, right?

[Nitsuki]

I think you can switch between jp and en voices.

When I originally started playing GGX, I used May and used 6Px3 > IK as one of my main methods to win lol.

super-necroing this thread, since I don't feel like creating a new one, but sad news coming from Mr. Ishiwatari...

Eurogamer: What ever happened to Guilty Gear? Why did you stop making it?

Daisuke Ishiwatari: Guilty Gear got too hardcore for some people, so we wanted to reset the level of entrance. BlazBlue was the answer to it. Also, the generation of Guilty Gear players has become a certain age – maybe a little bit too old for playing games. So making that reset brings in a new generation of fighting game players. Then they will be with us for the next few years.

YET ONO AND NITSUUMA RELEASED A NEW SF AND MVC GAME AFTER SO MANY YEARS?!?!? WTF ISHIWATARI?!?!?! GIVE ME BACK MY MAY!!

[Xno Kappa]

Yeah I read that and was thinking what the fuck was he smoking when he went on with the "Guilty Gear is too old" bit.

[Correction]

We did get 9 guilty gear games. Sometimes you want a franchise to end while you still want more, rather than wait for it to jump the shark and give you nothing but heartache as the systems you loved turn into a poor excuse of itself (sup capcom/namco).

[Nitsuki]

Street fighter 2, SF2: champion edition, SF2: Hyper Fighting, Super SF2, Super SF2 Turbo, Super SF2 HD Remix.

SF3, SF3: 2nd Impact, SF3: 3rd Strike

SF4, Super SF4, SSF4:AE

Blazblue Calamity Trigger, BB: Contiuum Shift, BB: CS2

the list goes on and on for iterations, there really was nothing wrong w/ guilty gear, accent core however was the epitome of balanced fighters. ishiwatari just gave a pretty bs excuse to make a 5th GG game, at least give us an HD Remix or something on XBL and PSN. I'd love that.

If ishiwatari holds the same deal w/ BB as he did w/ GG, he'll prolly drop BB after a 4th iteration i'm pretty sure.

For ArySys, each new iteration builds upon the previous iteration's mechanics. Not much new player would spend months practicing their character's combos, frc, oki etc, when they could play SF4 or MvC3 for big easy damage. The entry level for GG is just too high for new players. They would have to reset the system for GG to bring in new players, and old players would complain that GG is ruined.

I don't think GG is that hard to pickup. It's definitely not on the level of execution as something like Marvel 2 imo.

Kind of OT, but have they announced if CS2 is coming to 360/PS3? The "fixed" Rachel makes me want to play again, but I heard it's only coming out on handhelds for some reason..

[Nitsuki]

yea CS2 is announced for June/July release via free patch which is pretty damn amazing in ArcSys's part.

Learning curve for GG was definitely not hard at all, mvc2 and SF3:3S had a much harder learning curve. BB of course is A LOT more lenient compared to GG w/ that 5 frame buffer, but GG was definitely not hard to learn and it was a lot more fun once your execution is up there. Hell, GG was the only game where I had to alternate between a pad and a stick depending on the character I used, lol my main being May, I always used the pad, but in #Reload when I used Bridget, and Anji as well, I used the stick for both of them. shit was too much fun.

Probably because it's cheaper for them to release the balance patch free of charge and then give players the option of paying $7 for one of three DLC characters than to manufacture and ship another print of discs for CS2 and further split up the playerbase.

From an outside perspective, GG only really made any sense to me after I played BB and learned a lot of the systems in place that it shares from, where-as SF to me always felt more about keeping control of the playfield with your limited moveset, rather than relying on squeezing in an attack and laying out 8+ hit combos. Granted I'm oversimplifying both games, especially if you bring it into a more competitive context, but it's just how I feel about them currently.

That's pretty cool that they're not going to try to charge us. It sucks that the patch is coming like 3 months after CS2 comes out for 3DS/PSP tho. Do you have a source for this?
