Hello there. I've been in Nashville for about a year and I'm always down for some lovely GG-ing. Is this the go-to forum for information regarding all things having to do with Middle TN's gaming "scene"?

Any other Venom players have difficulty against Ky? I was playing some matches last night and could not win against a single Ky player.

Are the combos in Venom's Challenge Mode practical? I really don't see/use them used in matches; more like iterations of them.

I was never a very good GG players to begin with, but I'm wondering since Xrd is still pretty fresh if I should stick with Venom or maybe attempt to try someone else. Two of my favorite things, Dubious Curve and the ability to charge Carcass Raid, have been removed. Also, I find myself rushing in for kills in lieu of knocking a foe down and setting up balls with the normal 214 input or with the new QV input. As a character, I think Venom is awesome. But, I never end up utilizing all of his potential when I play a match. I guess my question is, should I stick with him? Or, is it time to move on to someone different? For those that stuck with him, did you find the transition to this from X2 difficult?

Any updates regarding those tutorial videos? Or do you plan on waiting until R patch gets released? EDIT: Nevermind, I went back and saw this, I am, but I want it to be applicable for +R so I think it'd be pertinent to wait for the loctest to come out to confirm various things, so I guess it's a bit delayed... My bad. XD

With GG finally on the PSN, I'd love to play with fellow Atlanta folks. Feel free to add me. ^__^

Happy turkey day, GG players! Guilty Gear is still my favorite fighting game of all time, even though I'm not as good as I'd like to be. I'll be playing as soon as the PSN acquires it...which will probalby be December. Anyways, I'd be happy to play anytime I'm able! PSN: Growllanser Character: Venom Location: ATL

It's over already? XD

"Now, I know Kashell's in the readership and he hasn't played much..." Damn, do I sound that novice? *re-reads some older posts* Good lord I sound a' fool. XD I guess in comparison to the regulars on this forum, as well as on Dustloop I haven't played Guilty Gear as extensively as others. I should point out I played GGX2 a few months after it got released to the PS2. The problem was me and my brother (a fellow fighting fan) would rather play...wait for it...Super Smash Bros. Melee instead. So, GGX2 ended up collecting dust and that was that. It was BlazBlue that actually reignited my interest in Guilty Gear, and Venom was always a character I enjoyed using from the olden days. So, here I am. W00t? Anyways, enough of a history lesson. Well done on the explanation, Adelheid. More importantly, was it you or was it someone else who said they were planning on making some Venom tutorial videos? I remember one such video being stricly for 6P>6H> S Carcass Raid. Although I guess for ACR, it would be 6K instead of 6P. XD

Yep. I definitely lawled at that one. XD

God I feel like such a broken record. ~_~() Is poking out the term used to stop a foe from running/IAD-ing towards you? EDIT: Nevermind. Saw some information on it on another website. Simple stuff, really.

DAA? O_o That's an abbreviation I'm unaware of.

Y'okay. Time for another stupid question, but it might not be just limited to Venom since I think I've seen other characters do this. In the video that Reioumu posted, at 9:56 in the fight against Johnny I see Venom interrupt Johnny's assault with a 5K. I'm not sure if that's a timing thing to land between gatlings or if it's just knowing the combos your opponent has or...what but it seems that Venom's 5K is kind of like a go to move for counters and going back on the offensive. Is that true? Does my question make sense? >__> I just woke up so...pardon my rambling if it appears that way. XD

That video was...amusing. I started having flashbacks of Street Fighter II when facing computer Ryu. At least Justice had it coming, though.

I didn't notice his sig until now. Oh, Venom...the possibilities for puns are endless. I played with EX venom over the weekend and goodness do I love Tactics Arch. So many options at your disposal to make your opponenet cower in the corner. Loving it. I also love that flip kick attack he has, but I didn't play with it much because it seems like it'll be absent in AC+R.

Don't you mean you can't wait to get this ball rolling? Get it? Like...ball? Pool ball? Ha?...>___> *flees* *comes back* Anyways, this is awesome. I always wanted an attack that would create five balls at once and now I got one, each with various formations and possibilities. Now all I want is a release date... XD

Damn, some pretty neat stuff here. I wanna know more about this Tactic Arch. Thanks for posting this, by the way!

Loving this combo. Pulled it off a few times in practice mode, and once or twice while facing an opponent. Had a hard time with the dash and slash, though. Whatevz. Enjoying Venom even more when using all of his moves. I really like throwing an HS Ball and then teleporting because it can close distance.

Really struggling in getting "down" the teleport effectively. I looked at some videos, and the effortless execution of going from the ground to the air via teleport with a clevelry placed ball seems...unnatural. XD Does anyone have any simple combos involving the teleport? Once those are down, I can try to get some more complex ones.

My problem with DHM is that it's very risky to use. If the opponent blocks it and you forget to cancel, it's time for punishment. Are people practicing still on Accent Core Plus? Since things are about to change, I'm wondering if it's a good idea... >___>

I will have to try that.

God I can only hope. I do a 2H and as it's executing I'm thinking "What the hell did I do that for?"

I think everyone has their own idiosyncracies when it comes to landing strict timing. With more practice, I found a way to get better results. I simply doing the high jump until the last moment before Anji's fan is gone after the second 5s. But, I'll keep your method in mind because I just got a Hori as a gift and I'm anxious to make the switch from the pad. Unfortunately, it's not cross compatible with the PS2 so I have to wait until AC+R is released on the PS3.

I guess that means I should start practicing how to better utilize the Teleport, eh? I've seen some amazing combos where the balls are set at just the right place for Venom to continue his assault. Also, I need to practice the FRC for Dubious. Thanks for reminding me. XD
