Fight with THAT MAN

Zazz...SHOW US JUSTICE AND ANY OTHER VIDS YOU HAVE.

well i'm trying to find a clear shot of her. it certainly LOOKS like an upgraded Justice, a totally female voice (no effects to disguise it), the shoulders are sill big, but are now cross shaped, she has a tail and many MANY projectile spamming attacks including making the ground below you explode (reminding me of Dizzy's Imperial Ray) and a homing laser that looks like something out of Eureka Seven.

also no crotch spike.

there's apparently two forms, the giant Justice who's about twice the size of the original and something that looks like a massive mobile fortress with the original form plugged into the middle. The first form is fought by Sin and the second by Sol. When Sol is fighting it gets really "heavy" when Sol falls into some kind of darkness realm full of Valentines.

Does that mean . . . Valentine is Justice?! (Would explain the red hair . . .)

But really, I can't piece much together since I am without any skill in Japanese.

[Zazz]

I think I found it, though I don't think that's Justice

i want to believe it is her

of course that would mean . . . she's cuter than Dizzy. Oh the hilarity that would result from that.

[blazeu25]

its kinda gay they jus skip 10 yrs of ggxx.ppl would like to no what happens to the other chars. and dos any1 really no the hole story of this game?im really curious

[Sephi_hatu]

0_0 The final bosses second form is COSMICLY EPIC. The music was perfect! At first I didnt think the game would have much in the way of awesome rock music, but going by those videos, I was wrong. Whens the OST supposed to come out?

I would also like to point out SPOILERS BELOW

Sol, while fighting that man, appears to be in full on Gear mode. Flaming wings, flaming sword, appears to have horns or something. Hes flying around the whole time during it I suppose.

Its to bad theres no close up of That Man yet.

[Zazz]

Whens the OST supposed to come out?

i heard it was coming out December 5th

[KD]

Goddamn those are some cool looking boss fights. I really want to play this. I have to play this.

[KD]

Maybe if Accent Core sold well for the Wii, which I don't think it did. Personally, I could see this game running fine on the Wii. I mean look at Super Mario Galaxy. I didn't know the Wii was capable of looking that great.

[Sephi_hatu]

A friend of mine says PS2 couldn't handle this while the Wii could...

Any odds of this hopping on over to the Wii?

Well, if they put there hearts into it, it could probably look as good as Galaxy. There are to many factors to consider for me to even guess how good it might look. There are alot of things going on in the game at any one time, but your also downgrading from 720p to just 480p. It would be safe to assume that there wouldn't be as detailed lighting or models, tho.

Thinking about it, I could see this on the Wii.

[Fugue]

K, now that is how you have a final boss.

[KD]

Does anybody else wish Sonic ran like the characters in this game? I don't know why but the running looks so damn cool to me.

[Villainous]

Well, even if the game sucks, we know it has an awesome soundtrack now. ^_^ Here's hoping in the next 2D game, Valentine, Paradigm, Izuna, Raven, and "that man" are all playable.

[fatewalker]

just to clear up this last boss stuff. it says the name Valintine in the vid. game looks dope!!

[Nuts]

do you think it will be ported to PC? i heard that from xbox360 to PC porting...it is not big deal...and everything good from xbox are ported to pc %) even GG series has been ported becouse of xbox...do you think gg2 will be ported too? O_o i don't wanna buy xbox360 for that game...but i deadly want to play that game

[Van Buren]

Disappointing. I want a new story mode for a 2d fighter GG..... think of what they could have made in the time it took them to make this... god damn they could have added all these new guys and old ones everyone wanted into a fighter. I guess the fighting scene doesn't bring in that much money to garner that kind of budget though, eh? Side note... they better not make the next GG fighter 3d. Like street fighter. fuckin' fail.

[Vu]

ill be brief... not appealing.

gaaaah I hate that sort of an attitude. Sure they theoretically could of done this that or the other thing, but they wanted to mess around and try something new. This also assumes "If they were doing A they'd surely be doing B!", which is faulty logic (They could be making Sangoku Basara AC:#RELOAD WHATEVER instead!). They obviously didn't feel like doing a new Guilty Gear fighter yet.

[caeli]

Forget about the lack of console, gaming and Japanese skills, the videos alone make me too dizzy even though I'd love to play the game. Still looking forward to the soundtrack and plot details.

And somehow That Man has a strangely youthful voice. The one in GGX2 was older sounding.

Spoilers of sorts:

At the end of last boss fight, did Sol say Aria as in Solaria from Lightning the Argent? Or is that Justice's original name?

[Van Buren]

I of understand and agree. Its all wishful thinking on my part. Its just disappointing that in order to continue the story we have to deal with... this. I'm not one to knock on anything without trying it but seriously. It looks pretty bad. The music sounds good, graphics look alright. (wtf is up with all the particle effects though? I'm like blinded in any boss type battle. Can't see shit captain.) But the game play looks soul numbing. It just hurts to see all those new people and... old ones like Raven and That Man make their debut in this instead of a traditional GG fighter. That said the pain would be made tolerable if in the next fighter installment it is still 2d. (With brand spanking new characters of course.Woo) I just feel it would lose a lot of... flavor in the translation from 2d to 3d. As so many games seem to do.

Lets hope Daisuke doesn't go retarded for his Sol in 3d. (omg you gais saw dat?! I do karikinu VIPA~! in tree-D! Yeah turn dat camera around and look at mai ass!)

[Zazz]

Well Aba first showed up in Isuka (and no one seemed to like that) and it didn't hurt her much

[fatewalker]

Arc already said that they were still going to countinue with the 2D fighter. so theres no poblem there. i wouldn't be suprised if they continued to do the stroy 3D and just added on to the fighter with new characters every so often.

[Zazz]

"Aria"

Well it is another metal reference anyway since Aria is a band with an album named "Megalomania"

thank the wiki

[Fugue]

Dear anyone upset because this game isn't 2D: **** you. You're exactly the same as those fanboy nubs who hate 2D games for not being 3D. Grow up and play games because they're good, not because they aren't confined to the dimensional planes you're accustomed to. Sincerely, Fugue. Dear anyone with a valid complaint against the game: Please ignore the above comment, it's not directed at you. Sincerely, Fugue.

ok what the heck is going on here? there's a whole bunch of exposition by Dr. Paradigm, he refers to Sol by his real name "Frederick", mentioning Justice and That Man, some winged woman (Dizzy?) encased in ice, and a silly "NANI~?!!" moment.

[Zinac]

Lol Sin being Ky's son, who would have thought? Also at the girl in the ice being "Justice's backup", and birthing Sin.
