Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R and Xrd News

First and foremost, GGXXAC+R is confirmed as a free update to AC+, to be released this month. Unfortunately, it looks like the XBL version has fallen behind and will be updated slightly later.

Secondly, a bunch of Xrd System Information and Character Information has been shared. Translations of this information are available on our forums (courtesy Suzaku, etc.), and also on SRK (courtesy iantothemax). A short version of this information follows.

So what's new in GGXrd?

• Guard Gauge replaced with "R.I.S.C." Level. Functions almost identically to the Guard Gauge (including forced counter hits), but doesn't go below its baseline.
  
• Dusts now have two follow-up options: homing jump (up) or ground dash (forward).
  
• Using a Roman Cancel during a projectile's recovery slows down time while allowing you to move freely, enabling combos even from a distance. Same meter cost.
  
• Clashing: Two Lights clash normally, Heavies > Lights and causes a reeling knockback, and two Heavies create a "Danger Time" scenario - hitting the opponent in Danger Time forces a "super" counter hit.
  
  What isn't new in Xrd?
