Going Back to Guilty Gear

[Sesshyru]

Man. I think that is a top tier whine post right there; there isn't much to get...

[qwerty]

hoe do you not own a ps2 in 2010? you can go buy one off of a seedy guy on craigslist, you can go buy a used one at gamestop, you can probably find a few working ones near the dumpster.

[Sesshyru]

haha.

He called that whiney guy a hoe.

[PimpUigi]

If only it had online play by being on PC, or PSN

I'd be set.

XBLA is fine, but I hate paying to play, and the 360's break all the time.

[Kamui Moon]

we have online play on the pc already. no i am not talking about #R

[qwerty]

haha.

He called that whiney guy a hoe.

actually it was a misspelling of how but it's better that way so i left it

and nig please if you can't scrounge up $50 for a ps2 slim and a memory card to freemcboot your shit, you probably shouldn't be posting here right now.

[Sesshyru]

I was messin around too >.>;;

you know its probably cheaper to buy a copy of ac than it is to get a memory card

I think the release of Blazblue has helped bring new players to Guilty Gear atleast that is the case with myself and a few other BB players I know. most new GG players i play with feel that either players are very advanced or are just starting out. I still love both the games.

This is a good read, but the comments made on the blog also bring up some good counter arguments.

[PimpUigi]

In fact I only read the counter argument since I just did Find: Guilty Gear

[Hecatom]

SF4 players =/= FG players

[qwerty]

i love reading jchensor

but man, some parts of that just make me physically ill. like sf4 being the reason bb was released in the us? come on, man.

what the FUCK!? LOL

people only stated hearing about BB mainstream 'cause it won like some fighting game award, most of us already know it 'cause we didn't ONLY play SF and Mortal Kombat

if you know Melty Blood, Guilty gear, you're pretty much a dedicated fan to air dashers, and that's why BB is out here, at least that's how i see it

EDIT: thread name impies i left guilty gear D: < lies, i took a break from it for BB that's all!

yeah that is one thing that it really get on my nerves, that people act like if SF4 "revived" the Fighting Game genre :8/:

Most fighters were Street Fighter or some other Capcom game to begin with.

So as far as SF4 goes, it revived the Capcom fighting game sub genre. Niggas tend to confuse that for the whole FG community pretty easily.

[REAMS]

well, i play BB with my friends mostly but i still play GGXX#R when i'm at work or bored just because it has VSNet. So BB is cool and a new GG would be even better.

But SFIV did pretty much revive the FG genre.

[M.Song]

too bad all it really did was just bring in a bunch of new ppl that only play sf4, think sf4 is the greatest game and every other game is trash

While this is true, FGs are bigger than ever because SFIV is big.

If they would put Holy Orders Ky in the new GG more people will buy it

Hecatom on that SRK hivemind.

People who play SF4 are more likely to one day play other fighting games, than people who don't play fighters at all. And SF4 bought in a lot of new blood. Do people seriously not see this?

People who have never heard of Melty Blood or Guilty Gear now know of it, because they came to a local SF4 tournament and saw MB and GG taking up an entire side of the room. My local CvS2 scene has gotta a kind of mini-resurgence, 'cause they managed to pull in the SF4 new blood. A few SF4-heads around here have started branching out to other fighters, like BB and Tekken. All this could not of happened with out a new game like SF4. I know many people wish SF4 wasn't that game, or that SF4 didn't come out to play the way it does, but them's the breaks.

Capcom puts out SF4 with a hype train never before seen in fighting games, people go out and pre-order their collector's editions and their Tournament Edition MadCatz SF4 Sticks; Yeah, people are going to be playing SF4 and not your game. But that doesn't mean they won't one day give your game a try. Just like how all the pre-existing GG and Tekken players were a pool of potential SF4 players. The same is true for other games. These new SF4 players are a resource that can be tapped. When that day comes, what are you going to tell them? That SF4 is a crap game, and you should of been playing this game all along?

(That actually how the local CvS2 got its mini-resurgence. But that's a special case 'cause the CvS2 scene is also responsible for there being a local SF4 scene at all.)

Holy Order Ky is already in the game. You mean King Ky.

that seems to be the strategy for "convincing" BB players to play GG.
