LoL Alright man. Fact is the stick belongs to my friend... Hehe. I'll have him to look over here ^_^ Thanks Combo Nachos Cheese!

[Kayin Nasaki]

I just used some teflon tape on the threading. Worked great.

Stupid question guys. What do players use in GG tourneys in the US and Japan? Sticks or ps2 controllers? And is button-mapping allowed? Thanks!

[Hellmonkey]

GG tourneys in Japan are on arcades cabinets, so Japanese joystick/button layout. Evo this year was on console, so people used their owns sticks as well as ps2 controllers. I believe button mapping was allowed.

[shtkn]

it was. they allowed button mapping that was facilitated in-game (like the 1 button RCs you can set in the key config screen), but no hardware macros (like programmable joysticks or using rapid-fire buttons on the HRAP) this was the first year evo allowed button mapping, and i think it's going to stay

[Dragonthorn]

Ok thanks. I can't imagine pulling off FRC's without button mapping. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the arcade button notation is: K S HS P Re D Sorry, no arcades in my area got GGXX, and I am particularly new to this game. I have an arcade stick, and want to match the button placements exactly as you guys have it in EVO, and in Japan as well.

[HmR.kS]

Yes that is correct but I have no idea what Re is for. If you mean Respect, then no. The respect/taunt button in arcades are the start buttons. =D

[Dragonthorn]

Thanks. That was just a guess though. My button input goes somewhat like this: P S HS K Re D So I guess I will have to change the K and P buttons. Good to hear that the Respect button isn't there, because I press it by mistake sometimes with my layout. :P

[Hellmonkey]

There is no button there on Japanese guilty gear cabinets. Also, there is a scrub who used to live in California with your current button config

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

I played with that layout for like 3 years. Sucked trying to switch off of it, I still fuck up some stuff now and then.

^Frame data

19 frames inv. (the startup frames) and 2 frames more of grab inv.(I think). Pretty decent amount of time.

Dang, I was off by one frame. (I thought it was 20).

Thanks for the info!

[Tage*Proto]

don't know if this is a stupid question, but I was looking for a site that had the character quotes? Like, what each character says in a match??

[Nekich]

gamefaqs.com, Ed Chang's GGXX faq.

[Tage*Proto]

Thanks so much.

[Nekich]

no, wait, there's another one fixed, now with attachment, 'cause there's 404 now

[Tage*Proto]

haha dammit, none of those have ABA's translations lol.....

she's not that popular, alas... mostly depressive, throws out random proverbs or insults her enemy (well, Paracelsus does) - yeah, cheerfulness itself.

[Tage*Proto]

True, emo at its finest haha. Thanks for the help, i'll keep looking.

[HmR.kS]

Hey, I have tried unscrewing all the screws behind the stick. But for some reason, the metal panel (the base of the stick), could not be opened. Anyone knows why? I am using the GGXX Stick, black and red, by Sammy. Thanks!

[Most Unknown]

I know I should know better but...Whats IIRC? :grin:

What is a pilebunker? I thought it was one of Pot's command grabs. But i see it when people talk about slayer and everyone else. I searched for the word "pilebunker?" didn't find anything "pilebunker" on the other hand had too many outputs. Thanks in advance.

[almond]

New to GG and have some stupid questions. Are there any benefits in getting this slash for the ps2 other than practicing combos? Is the Ps2 version a perfect arcade port besides the 2 extra characters? Does the GG slash beat book have good info I could use for learning more about the game?
