    Guilty Gear



    Ooh, lookie! It's the box art for the Japanese console release! A most beautiful thing, indeed!

    EDIT: How silly of me, forgot to mention that this IS Guilty Gear Slash.

    Guilty Gear

    A.B.A. is cool, but she's so hard to use...of course, I did manage to master her tension move that results in the closest comparison to an Instant Kill, mmmm...415 damage.

    This of course must lead us to another question. What are your favorite modes for your favorite characters?

    I like Dizzy and Jam in normal, and Millia in EX. Dizzy is only slightly stronger in EX, but she loses a lot of good combos and timing, like the ice pillar and the lightning blades (sorry, I never bothered to learn the real names except for the tension moves). Jam loses all her awesome kicks, and thus 34 beat combos in EX (hehe, one and a half combos to finish ANYONE off in Gold Mode), so I'd never even consider using EX. Millia gains a lot from the EX mode, and generally becomes a much more technical fighter from the 'easy for a beginner character' she starts as.

    Don't know if you know this or not, Ryllharu, but regrettably, when viewed from competitive level gaming, your question is moot because only the regular versions of each character are allowed for tournament play.

    But just for the question's sake, I personally find EX Faust more amusing than his normal counterpart. Though moves like the Rerere no Tsuki (stab n' pull + slap combo) lose there original intent, he gains the AFRO BOMBER IK! Then Gold Faust of any variety defeats everybody else in one knockdown with infinite tension and meteors galore.

    I didn't know. I've never been much for tournament play. The people there are always INSANE and since I enjoy playing on more of an enjoyment level, I tend to avoid them entirely.

    Oh well. It was more of a curiosity thing anyway, since a lot of the modes play so entirely different from each other.

    Gold. Freaking. Chipp.

    He's so fast it's hilarious. When I'm tired of playing and just wanna mess around I always resort to playing with Gold Chipp. He can pretty much run faster than he can teleport.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    The PS2 version of Guilty Gear XX Slash is now out in Japan. I snatched a torrent from piratebay.org, so I recommend that place for anyone else who might want it (game is rather well seeded too).

    Impressions: Well, improved A.B.A is interesting and so is Order Sol (although I don't understand the latter's level up system in the least). It's just too bad that with this being the third X2 revision (not counting the different Reload versions), things are getting too damn old. I am honestly sick of having to unlock EX characters once again. And the only way to do so is by beating those absurd missions. Bah.

    My verdict, only get this to try the new characters and moves - otherwise stick to X2 or X2 Reload (whichever you got, because you better have one of them or you will die).
